NFL Week 3: The Jigsaw Pieces

Are you looking for an article that can be used for Season Long, DFS, and Props? If so, the search is over. I introduce you to the Jigsaw Pieces, an article that is packed with insightful information, very opinionated takes, and multiple ways to make a profit. No matter what kind of contest you’re playing, there’s a piece of the puzzle for you!

Games to Watch

LAC vs. MIN — O/U 54 PTs and could be a Fantasy Dream

• K. Cousins & Addison — Captain Kirk has 88 attempts in 2 games and is averaging 351 YPG. With a very suspect Chargers secondary, this number will only go up. We all know JJ and Hock are studs, but don’t forget about Addison. The rookie has been extremely consistent in his 1st 2 games with his go routes, red zone looks and 2TDs. Many will say his big play ability makes him a liability in fantasy as a TD dependent WR with only 7 catches, but I disagree. JJ and Hock will always be the target monsters, leaving Addison open in the zone for big plays. Even if he doesn’t score, his DJax ability makes him PPR noteworthy each week.

• M. Williams — This is the Mike Williams week. Over the last 2 years, when Williams has eclipsed double-digit targets (8 games) in a game he has averaged 8 receptions and 115 yards, while scoring 6 TDs. Hint: This will be a double digit target week and now you know what to do.

Props to Watch

• K. Cousins – OVR 25.5 Pass Completions +100

• J. Addison – OVR 50.5 Rec Yards -120

• M. Williams – 75+ ALT REC Yards +110

ATL vs. Detroit — Sneaky Game of the Week

• B. Robinson — With all the injuries, easily the best fantasy RB not named CMC. One thing to keep your eye on is him locked in as the #1 pass catcher on the team. He has given us a 21 PPG average and he still hasn’t been given full control. This could easily be his Shaun Alexander type breakout game.

• J. Gibbs & S. LaPorta — With the injury to Monty and the fact that Gibbs already has 11 targets in 2 games, just tells us all we need to know when he doubles his touches. LaPorta has been incredibly consistent with a 10+ YPC average, showing his ability to make big plays underneath coverage. Against a team who will blitz a ton this week, he will find plenty of room to operate.

Props to Watch

• B. Robinson – OVR 97.5 Rush + Rec Yds -115

• J. Gibbs – OVR 23.5 Rec Yds -115

• S. LaPorta – 50+ ALT Rec Yds +155

Confident Studs (Pieces that will fit your frame)

• C. Ridley — A great spot against a Défense that’s without their Top Cover CB. He only had 2 catches last week, but has 19 targets in 2 games. The overall #1 option in the Jacksonville offense in a smash spot this week.

• Zay Flowers –  15 Targets in 2 weeks, has the confidence of his QB, and OBJ is out. Sneaky bump is with the weather being rainy and windy, a few jet sweeps and short screens could be in the cards here too.

• B. Robinson Jr. – He is 4th in total carries behind CMC, Henry, and Pollard, showing major consistency and confidence. Don’t be scared here. History suggests, even in losses, BRob still gets carries and mass volume.

• K. Walker — Walker is an easy play and is facing a 31st ranked Defense who gave up 2 TDs to a guy named Tony Jones Jr. last week. Start away!

Skeptical Stars (Pieces you force into slots that may not fit)

• D. Carr – He couldn’t muster a TD against a suspect defense at best in Carolina and is sporting an ugly 7 YPP. I don’t care who he is facing, I’ll pass until I see better.  Draftkings $5500 — Value sits with CJ Stroud $5400 + D. Ridder $5000

• D. Pierce – One word, UGLY. DP hasn’t cracked a run of longer than 10 yards, averages 2.7 YPC and is sitting behind an O’Line that is minus 4+ starters. Look in another direction fast! Draftkings $5200 — Value sits with T. Allgeier $5100 + J. Ford $4800

Diamond in the Rough (Pieces that could make the Mona Lisa of all puzzles)

• Tank Dell – He has a 71% Target to Catch Ratio making the most of his 14 targets so far this season. He was a preseason darling and the Texans have confidence in him as a focal point of the offense behind Nico. Draftkings $3600 — Prop to Hit — Anytime TD +370

• Desmond Ridder — Pure Punt Play here. Only 34 attempts in 2 games and the 6.8 YPP Average doesn’t scream start me. However, long plays of 34 & 45, along with 39 yds rushing last week and a TD, shows they are building something intriguing around him. This could easily be a 25+ point week and a winning piece to your lineup. Draftkings $5000 — Prop to Hit — OVR 211.5 Pass + Rush Yards -115
