Obvious starters: Calvin Ridley (ATL), Kyle Pitts (ARL), Cordarelle Patterson (ATL), Mike Gesicki (MIA). Sleeper: Mecole Hardman (KC) is a viable WR3/flex option against a defense that has allowed 1,418 yards and 10 touchdowns to wide receivers in six games.
Who to sit: The volume has been less than desirable for Julio Jones (TEN) - 23 targets in four games. Anthony Firkser (TEN) is a dart throw against a defense that has allowed a touchdown to tight ends in three straight. It’s hard to fade Ryan Tannehill (TEN) with six teams on a bye, despite a lack of production. Who to start: Darrel Williams (KC) received a robust 24 touches in his first start filling in for an injured Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Obvious starters: Patrick Mahomes (KC), Travis Kelce (KC), Tyreek Hill (KC), Derrick Henry (TEN), AJ Brown (TEN). Sleeper: With six teams on a bye, Taylor Heinicke (WAS) is a viable streaming option against a depleted secondary. Robert Tonyan (GB) has 10-or-fewer yards in five of six games. AJ Dillon (GB) remains touchdown-dependent despite a recent increase in usage. Who to sit: A hairline fracture in his shin has me concerned about Antonio Gibson (WAS) against an improved run defense. Ricky Seals-Jones (WAS) has been TE8 in standard leagues and TE10 in PPR since stepping in for the injured Logan Thomas. Who to start: JD McKissic (WAS) maintains his flex value in PPR formats with a consistent volume in the pass game - he’s currently on pace to make 60 receptions this season. Obvious starters: Terry McLaurin (WAS), Davante Adams (GB), Aaron Jones (GB), Aaron Rodgers (GB). Sleeper: Donovan Peoples-Jones (CLE) is a playmaker against a secondary that has allowed six touchdowns and 15.7 yards per reception to wide receivers this season. Demetric Felton (CLE) is only a lottery ticket in the deepest PPR formats.
This is a very difficult matchup to trust Austin Hooper (CLE) and David Njoku (CLE). The Browns are expected to activate Jarvis Landry (CLE), but I’d give him a week before I consider using him. (CLE) with a shoulder injury that makes him a game-time decision. The Browns D/ST faces an offense that has allowed 12 sacks and produced six turnovers the last three games. D’Ernest Johnson (CLE) is a viable RB2/flex option against a defense that has allowed four touchdowns in the last three games to running backs. Teddy Bridgewater (DEN) is a sneaky streaming option against a defense that has allowed 14 touchdowns to quarterbacks in six games. Tim Patrick (DEN) remains a solid flex option with at least five receptions, 89 yards or a touchdown in five of six games this season. The Broncos D/ST face an offensive line that has allowed 14 sacks in the last four games. Who to start: Consistent volume and a potentially windy evening make Melvin Gordon (DEN) and Javonte Williams (DEN) viable RB2/flex plays.
Obvious starters: Courtland Sutton (DEN), Noah Fant (DEN). Titans 34, Bills 31: Buffalo’s backfield will continue to be complicated as long as both Zack Moss and Devin Singletary remain healthy.įollow me on Twitter if you have questions throughout the week. It isn’t a bad idea to beat the rush and add him a week early though. Freiermuth finished with 58 yards on seven receptions and I would have included him high in my waiver wire cheat sheet this week if Pittsburgh wasn’t on a bye. Steelers 23, Seahawks 20 (OT): Pat Freiermuth played more snaps, ran more routes and had more targets than Eric Ebron. Raiders 34, Broncos 24: Kenyan Drake only played 12 snaps for the second straight game, so don’t get too excited about the two touchdowns.Ĭowboys 35, Patriots 29 (OT): Rhamondre Stevenson running more routes and receiving more targets than both Damien Harris and Brandon Bolden is a situation worth monitoring. Keep this in mind when you’re considering utilizing James Conner or any receiver not named DeAndre Hopkins. Bateman’s upside is huge and I don’t believe Sammy Watkins’ return will do much to hold him back.Ĭardinals 37, Browns 14: Arizona has played with the lead for the most part, making them appear to be a run-heavy team, but expect a pass-heavy volume environment against more competitive competition. He tied Mark Andrews for the lead in targets (six) and had four receptions (all for first downs). It speaks to how much they trust him in Baltimore. Ravens 34, Chargers 6: Rashod Bateman missed the first five games and was trusted to be second on the wide receiver depth chart in his first start. Vikings 34, Panthers 28 (OT): Robby Anderson has 29 targets the last three games and somehow only has 10 receptions over than span. Chiefs 31, Football Team 13: Ricky Seals-Jones played all 59 offensive snaps for Washington.
