Start em and Sit em

Welcome to NFL Week Eight’s Edition of Season Long Start ‘Em and Sit ‘Em. Rather than focus on obvious picks, the goal is to identify some fringe starters that you may consider and some regulars that you may want to sit.

NFL Week Eight – Quarterbacks to Start

Ryan TannehillTennessee Titans – If you need to fill a quarterback spot this week, you can do worse than Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill will have an awesome matchup with the Buccaneers who have allowed the seventh highest amount of fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season.

Teddy Bridgewater – New Orleans Saints- This should be Teddy Bridgewater’s last start with a bye ahead and Drew Brees expected to return after that. Following some difficult games, including a trip to Chicago last week, the Saints get a juicy matchup with Arizona.

NFL Week Eight – Quarterback to Sit

Carson Wentz – Philadelphia Eagles- The Bills secondary has been no joke this season. This will be a difficult road trip for the Eagles and it seems far from an optimal spot for Carson Wentz and the passing game.

NFL Week Eight – Running Backs to Start

Jamaal Williams – Green Bay Packers- Jamal Williams work in the passing game has earned him standalone value outside of Aaron Jones weekly status. This week’s matchup at Arrowhead provides plenty of upside in a game I’d expect the Packers to win.

Carlos Hyde – Houston Texans – Carlos Hyde bombed out last week. However, game script suggests he should bounce back this week versus the Raiders.

Ty Johnson – Detroit Lions – You didn’t snatch him off of waivers only to sit him this week versus the Giants. He should already slide into lineups in front of many disappointing players drafted with high round picks.

NFL Week Eight – Running Backs to Sit

Nick Chubb – Cleveland Browns – The New England defense has continued to stifle it’s opponents. A one dimensional back, New England should be able to take both him and Odell Beckham, Jr. out of the game with added focus.

Melvin Gordon Los Angeles Chargers – Aside from the big game allowed to Josh Jacobs a couple of weeks back, the Bears defense has been stout against the run. Melvin Gordon doesn’t look right and I’d rather acknowledge that this draft pick did not work out then roster him during such a critical week.

NFL Week Eight – Wide Receivers to Start

D.J. Chark – Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jets are underrated against the run, but very suspect against the pass. This seems like a potential ceiling game for D.J. Chark, who will be looking to cement his status as a rising star in the NFL.

Kenny Stills Houston Texans – Still available on many waiver wires, Kenny Stills looked very comfortable replacing Will Fuller as Houston’s deep threat. Just two weeks ago, we saw the slate-breaking upside that this role provides. For whatever it’s worth, I will probably be starting him over Melvin Gordon in a flex spot.

NFL Week Eight – Wide Receivers to Sit

Alshon Jeffrey – Philadelphia Eagles – As mentioned above under Carson Wentz, I want no part of the Eagles passing game this week. The only one I would probably start is Ertz as there are few alternatives at tight end readily available which would be better.

Mohamed Sanu – New England Patriots – All early indications are that he will play in some capacity this week. However, it might be wise to temper expectations while he learns the offense and carves out his role, at least in season long leagues. By next week you can fire him up but I’d suggest sitting this one out if possible.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Eight – Tight End to Start

Vance McDonald – Pittsburgh Steelers – Available in half of fantasy leagues to start the week off, grab him if you can and plug him in for the spot start.

NFL Week Eight – Tight End to Sit

Greg Olsen – Carolina Panthers – Between the Panther’s quarterback situation, the status of everyone outside of Christian McCaffrey in this offense, and the difficult matchup, this is a hard pass.

NFL Week Eight – Defense to Start

Indianapolis Colts – The Colts have been solid but not spectacular. That said, the defense has the chance to have a huge game in the dome against the ghost of Joe Flacco and Denver’s abysmal offense.

NFL Week Eight – Defense to Sit

Green Bay Packers – But Pat Mahomes is out!? This streaming option still doesn’t carry the weight of some of the others. The Packers defense while solid has not made many big plays. The Chiefs still have a lot of weapons at their disposal, particularly in the short game. This should make Matt Moore’s life easier than in most situations where a backup option replaces a top quarterback.

NFL Week Seven – Quarterbacks to Start

Daniel Jones – New York Giants Daniel Jones has come back to earth after a couple of tough matchups. However, this week I am back on the wagon and one would assume getting Saquon Barkley back won’t hurt the offense either. If Jones was dropped in your league and you need a quarterback this week, scoop him up.

Gardner Minshew – Jacksonville Jaguars- As noted with Daniel Jones above, every rookie is entitled to a bad week or two. Originally, I considered listing Kirk Cousins here but after a couple of strong weeks he might be too obvious. The NFL’s “Uncle Rico” finds himself in a terrific spot versus a porous Bengals secondary.

NFL Week Seven – Quarterback to Sit

Phillip Rivers – Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers rocked the books in Vegas last week, going down despite being the slate’s third biggest favorite. It doesn’t get any easier for Phillip Rivers and company this week as they travel to Tennessee. For the Titans, it certainly isn’t their defense that has been the problem.

NFL Week Seven – Running Backs to Start

Carlos Hyde – Houston Texans – Given the Jets renewed state and underrated run defense, Sony Michel is a trap. If I expect the Texans to roll versus the Colts, why wouldn’t I expect last week’s magic to continue?

James White – New England Patriots – New England Patriot running backs make me sick to my stomach. Nevertheless, as the Jets can plug the gap well enough this is a James White game. If you need to fill a running back slot or flex spot you can do a lot worse this week.

Devin Singletary – Buffalo Bills – Thankfully, I was able to scoop him up off waivers while he was injured. Devin Singletary gets to come back from injury with quite a chance to show off versus the inept Dolphins.

NFL Week Seven – Running Backs to Sit

Marlon Mack – Indianapolis Colts – Marlon Mack is just not a very appetizing play in Week Seven. For starters, he is highly game script dependent due to his lack of receiving work. That will not play out well in a game in which I would expect Indianapolis to be down early. The Texans will likely game plan to control the run and short passes and put the game in the hands of Jacoby Brissett, forcing him into deeper throws than he might like.

Joe Mixon Cincinnati Bengals – It’s time to acknowledge this was a really bad draft pick. The Bungles offense is dysfunctional and simply hard to count on for production. I would starts guys like Mark Ingram, and Josh Jacobs, all drafted well below Joe Mixon a month and a half ago.

NFL Week Seven – Wide Receivers to Start

Michael Gallup – Dallas Cowboys – Regardless of Amari Cooper’s status, Michael Gallup is a terrific play. The Eagles allowed Stefon Diggs to finally break loose last week and now it’s Gallup’s turn.

Stefon Diggs – Minnesota Vikings- Last week might have ignited a return to form so if you were previously benching him, it’s time to reconsider that stance.

NFL Week Seven – Wide Receivers to Sit

Allen Robinson – Chicago Bears- Allen Robinson is an every week 10-12 team league starter. However, I would avoid coverage from Marshon Lattimore at all costs.

Marques Valdez-Scandling – Green Bay Packers- One would think that with all of the added opportunity and Aaron Rodgers throwing to him that MVS would be eating week in and week out, right? It is wise to just continue to avoid him if he plays as he has shown little signs of breaking out.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Seven – Tight End to Start

Hunter Henry – Los Angeles Chargers- One of my biggest priorities was grabbing him off of any waivers last week. If Hunter Henry is still available in one of your shallower leagues and you need help at tight end, there should be little hesitation. Henry played far more than expected Sunday Night and should be back to a near full role in a game where I’d expect plenty of check down passes to him and Austin Ekeler.

NFL Week Seven – Tight End to Sit

T.J. Hockenson – Detroit Lions- It will be a struggle for the Lions to keep up with the Vikings so I would avoid their skill players this week if at all possible.

NFL Week Seven – Defense to Start

Kansas City Chiefs – If looking outside of the Top 15 defenses or so perhaps due to availability, the Chiefs are the next I would look at. It is a road trip to Mile High, but Joe Flacco is washed up and the Broncos offense has a lot of question marks.

NFL Week Seven – Defense to Sit

Philadelphia Eagles – As surprising as it is, I see them fairly high up most ranks, at least falling in the Top 12 on most sites. This doesn’t strike me as a strong play on the road versus a Cowboys team that should score some points.

NFL Week Six – Quarterbacks to Start

Gardner Minshew – Jacksonville Jaguars Gardner Minshew continues to impress both on the field and off. I would expect the Jaguars to be playing from behind thus allowing a solid game script for the young quarterback.

Kirk Cousins – Minnesota Vikings – Let’s go back to the well facing an exploitable Eagles secondary.

NFL Week Six – Quarterback to Sit

Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions – The Lions have been passing less and the secondary is the strength of the Green Bay Defense.

NFL Week Six – Running Backs to Start

Chase Edmonds – Arizona Cardinals- If David Johnson is out this decision is easy. However, even if he is not, Chase Edmonds is flex viable versus the porous Falcons defense.

Tevin Coleman – San Francisco 49ers – This sets up as a game that suits his skill set as more of a passing down back. I prefer Tevin Coleman this week over his teammate listed below.

Austin Ekeler – Los Angeles Chargers – So far Melvin Gordon has been nothing more than Justin Jackson with a heavier snap shore. Given his importance in the passing game and to this team on the whole, Austin Ekeler will remain at least a flex play if nothing more.

NFL Week Six – Running Backs to Sit

Melvin Gordon – Los Angeles Chargers – The timeshare situation clouds his reputation as an every week starter. If you have someone like Will Fuller or Larry Fitzgerald that you can move to a flex spot, it might be worth consideration.

Ronald Jones II – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Things are looking up for Ronald Jones on the whole. However, not this week versus the imposing Carolina defense.

Matt Breida – San Francisco 49ers- In general I am not a fan of running back timeshares. I’d expect this game to trend more towards passing, favoring Tevin Coleman.

NFL Week Six – Wide Receivers to Start

D.J. Chark – Jacksonville Jaguars- Tough matchup but he shouldn’t entirely draw coverage from Marcus Lattimore. D.J. Chark has likely been sitting on your bench, but he has been a top five receiver so far this year.

Will Fuller – Houston Texans – Put aside the failures of the first few weeks. I would not expect a repeat of last week to happen anytime this season. However, Fuller makes for a great start with little hesitation on the trigger finger. This game should be a shootout and one of the more important games of the season in the AFC.

Calvin Ridley – Atlanta Falcons- A forgotten man until last week, do not sleep on the talent or the upside here.

Willie Snead – Baltimore Ravens – If searching for a flex play in a deeper league, Willie Snead makes for a fine choice at home facing the Bengals.

NFL Week Six – Wide Receivers to Sit

Emmanuel Sanders- Denver Broncos- It is clear that Courtland Sutton is the receiver on the ascent in this offense.

Mohammed Sanu – Atlanta Falcons- This is definitely not a player I want to chase.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Six – Tight End to Start

Delanie Walker – Tennessee Titans- The Broncos have been one of the worst teams against the tight end over the last two seasons.

NFL Week Six – Tight End to Sit

O.J. Howard – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – O.J. Howard is just too low down the Tampa Bay totem pole right now.

NFL Week Six – Defense to Start

Washington Redskins – Consider this a starting defense for one week only.

NFL Week Six – Defense to Sit

Los Angeles Rams – One of the most over hyped defenses in fantasy football, this sets up to be a shootout.

Welcome to NFL Week Five’s Edition of Season Long Start ‘Em and Sit ‘Em.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

NFL Week Five – Quarterbacks to Start

Jacoby Brissett – Indianapolis Colts High upside matchup as he will need to keep scoring for the Colts to keep up with the Chiefs.

Kirk Cousins – Minnesota Vikings – With all the media criticism I would expect a more balanced offense this week. Kirk Cousins will come out throwing to build confidence with his WRs.

NFL Week Five – Quarterback to Sit

Jameis Winston – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Saints defense has been strong over the last calendar year, so tough week to chase his big efforts.

NFL Week Five – Running Backs to Start

Austin Ekeler – Los Angeles Chargers- As you can see with Gordon listed below, I am on team Ekeler for at least one more week.

Chris Thompson – Washington Redskins – He should get a lot of garbage points as the Redskins are forced to throw the ball all game.

Ronald Jones Jr. – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Tough matchup, but this might finally be the breakout with the receivers on lockdown.

NFL Week Five – Running Backs to Sit

Melvin Gordon – Los Angeles Chargers – Unless there is some realistic expectation of volume, sit Melvin Gordon. It’s tempting to start him but worth waiting another week.

Sony Michel – New England Patriots – I’m just done with expecting that “this is the week”. Barring injuries, the Patriots myriad running back situation is just too much of a fantasy nightmare despite normal game script.

Wayne Gallman – New York Giants- Before writing this my thought was this was obvious, but I guess not given his weekly rank on many sites. Wayne Gallman lucked into a pair of touchdowns last week in a softer matchup but won’t duplicate that effort.

NFL Week Five – Wide Receivers to Start

Terry McLaurin – Washington Redskins – As long as he is active, Terry McLaurin should see plenty of throws.

Geronimo Allison – Green Bay Packers- Geronimo Allison will see added targets with Davante Adams’ expected absence.

A.J. Brown – Tennessee Titans – This man is still not getting respect after another big game.

NFL Week Five – Wide Receivers to Sit

Calvin Ridley – Atlanta Falcons – This whole Falcons team just has not looked good and it’s unlikely that changes this week.

Emmanuel Sanders- Denver Broncos- It will be tough for Joe Flacco to challenge the San Diego secondary.

Auden Tate – Cincinnati Bengals – He might be popular in DFS but you don’t need to be that cute in a season long format.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Five – Tight End to Start

Eric Ebron – Indianapolis Colts – I’d usually pass but this should be a higher scoring affair than usual.

NFL Week Five – Tight End to Sit

Delanie Walker – Tennessee Titans- The Bills have been stingy against tight ends.

NFL Week Five – Defense to Start

Philadelphia Eagles – They might have been sitting on a few waiver wires but stream away.

NFL Week Five – Defense to Sit

Cleveland Browns – If the 49ers are for real they will find a way to embarrass this defense.

Welcome to NFL Week Four’s Edition of Season Long Start ‘Em and Sit ‘Em.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

NFL Week Four – Quarterbacks to Start

Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions – It’s the second week in a row that I have this fringe starter listed. However, Matt Stafford draws another juicy matchup this week squaring off with the Chiefs.

Jacoby Brissett – Indianapolis Colts It’s not an exciting play but the former Patriot has shown a solid weekly floor.

NFL Week Four – Quarterback to Sit

Jameis Winston – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – I would expect an underwhelming performance against the Rams on the road after a decent game last week.

NFL Week Four – Running Backs to Start

Wayne Gallman – New York Giants – There were a lot of criticisms out there this week regarding Gallman. However, in fantasy volume is king and this Giants offense should continue to improve with Daniel Jones behind center.

Chris Thompson – Washington Redskins – This should be a competitive game and Chris Thompson is the Redskins running back to own/start.

Ronald Jones Jr – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – With no time to throw, the offense will turn to Jones.

NFL Week Four – Running Backs to Sit

Todd Gurley Los Angeles Rams – At this point you could argue starting someone drafted far lower like Phillip Lindsay over Todd Gurley.

Rex Burkhead – New England Patriots – With James White back in the mix, I might suggest holding off on using a flex spot on Burkhead that would have made sense last week.

Peyton Barber – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – I am recommending Ronald Jones and his rise will come at Barber’s expense. To be honest it is amazing he has been involved as a featured back of sorts this long.

NFL Week Four – Wide Receivers to Start

D.J. Chark – Jacksonville Jaguars – I’m beginning to become a believer in the legend of Gardner Minshew and his prized receiver D.J. “Baby” Chark.

Marvin Jones Jr – Detroit Lions – Marvin Jones, Jr. had a breakout game against the Eagles last week. Now he gets a chance to follow that up in what should be a shootout with the Chiefs.

Calvin Ridley – Atlanta Falcons – Despite coming off a 1.10 standard fantasy point performance last week, I expect Ridley to bounce back against an exploitable Titans secondary.

NFL Week Four – Wide Receivers to Sit

Will Fuller – Houston Texans – Will Fuller is always a scary receiver to sit as it only takes him one big play to make you regret benching him. However, he just hasn’t been getting it done this year.

Phillip Dorsett- New England Patriots – Even with AB gone there’s a lot of mouths to feed.

Curtis Samuel – Carolina Panthers – It is hard to support many of the fringe playmakers in the offense without Cam long term.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Four – Tight End to Start

Vernon Davis – Washington Redskins- The Giants have been notorious for their inability to defend the tight end. Vernon Davis has done next to nothing since catching a touchdown pass opening weekend. However, I think he makes for a fine fill in if your regular starter is hurt or on bye.

NFL Week Four – Tight End to Sit

Austin Hooper – Atlanta Falcons- It should be the wide receivers getting the work against the Titans and not a game filled with checkdowns.

NFL Week Four – Defenses to Start

Baltimore Ravens– If Rex Ryan turns out to be right, the Ravens should have a field day with Baker Mayfield.

Jacksonville Jaguars – The returns outside of the nine sacks last week have been poor, but so has been the Broncos offense.

NFL Week Four – Defenses to Sit

Chicago Bears- The Vikings will find a way to put up some points so if you have another defense in a better spot, such as the Chargers; fire them up.

Denver Broncos – This is another disappointing defense but at home in Mile High I’d expect a low scoring battle.

It is time to move on to Week 3 DFS. Now we finally have some data to build off of! We will go through each matchup game by game, and I will give my best buys and fades via DraftKings prices.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more! Get started today! And don’t forget to check out the cheat sheet

Early Games

BENGALS AT BILLS 

Josh Allen is one of the best fantasy quarterbacks dating back to last season. His fantasy points per game rank only behind Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes since week 12. He is $5,900 on DraftKings which is a great value. Allen has passed for 200-yards in seven straight games and receivers to stack with Allen is John Brown at $5,500 and Cole Beasley at $4,400. The pair has totaled 50% of the team’s total targets this season.

It is worth noting that Zay Jones saw more offensive snaps in Week 2 than Beasley, 59% to 49%, respectively. The Bengals defense has also been absolute trash this season. On just a total of 45 passing attempts, the Bengals have allowed 491 passing yards and five passing touchdowns. Allen has attempted an average of 34 passing attempts through his first two weeks.

https://twitter.com/adamlevitan/status/1174838560123498496

Defensively, the Bills are strong against receivers outside of Jamison Crowder because of his 17-target game. Crowder ran 83% of his snaps from the slot where he saw 12 of his 17 targets. Among the Bengals’ skill players, Tyler Boyd ($6,500) saw eight of his 10 targets from the slot in Week Two. The Bengals lead the league in dropbacks, so as they continue to throw Boyd will continue to produce. With John Ross ($5,100) drawing the majority of coverage from Tre’Davious White the matchup might be tough.

That might create an opportunity for Damion Willis ($3,000), who ranks 19th in the NFL in total routes run. The Bengals have run 77% of their plays from 11-personnel. That has been not great for the run game, however; the Bengals are averaging 1.5 yards/carry from that personnel package. There could be better days ahead for Joe Mixon ($5,500) though. Defensively the Buffalo Bills have allowed 5.6 yards/carry from 11-personnel. The 63% success rate they have allowed is second-highest in the NFL.

LIONS AT EAGLES 

Through the first two weeks of the 2019 season, the Eagles continue to struggle against wide receivers in the passing game. They have allowed the second-most fantasy points at that position after ranking third-worst all of last season. Enter the Lions outside receivers that include Kenny Golladay ($6,600), Marvin Jones ($5,000), and Danny Amendola ($3,800). Jones is a great value as Matthew Stafford continues to open up and be more aggressive on plays down the field.

According to Next Gen Stats, Stafford has thrown 30 passes with an aggressiveness rating of 20-percent (seventh-most in the league). Additionally, Amendola ranks fifth highest in the NFL in average yards of separation. T.J. Hockenson ($3,500) is another player to target for the tight end position. Both Vernon Davis and Austin Hooper had nice outings against the Eagles in their first two games. They amassed at least four receptions and six targets apiece.

For the Eagles, it is chalk Week 3 DFS at the receiver position. In cash games, Nelson Agholor is the definite play at $3,600. He will be highly owned, so the perfect pivots off him are J.J. Arcega-Whiteside at $3,500, and Mack Hollins at $3,200.

JETS AT PATRIOTS 

Just because it is likely to be a blowout does not mean that guys will be rested and not be productive. We saw that just last week with Tom Brady ($6,600) who scored 24.7 fantasy points in a game where Sony Michel ($6,00) had 21 carries. If game flow goes correctly Michel should absolutely smash at home.

Last season versus the Jets, Michel averaged 17.5 rushing attempts 91.5 yards, and .5 touchdowns. Last season at home, Michel averaged 80 rushing yards/game with 18.7 attempts and scored five touchdowns. I would not pay up for any wide receiver on the Patriots because the touchdown distribution is too volatile. With the release of Antonio Brown, both Julian Edelman ($6,300) and Josh Gordon ($5,400) are in play. The Patriots D/ST ($3,800) is definitely back in play if it fits into your lineup.

The Jets only option here is Le’Veon Bell ($7,000) in GPPs. Luke Falk absolutely peppered Bell with targets last week and the Patriots will be more than happy to let Bell catch three balls and then let them punt.

RAIDERS AT VIKINGS

Dalvin Cook ($7,800) is an absolute lock in cash games. His usage in both the passing game and running game make him game script proof. Focus on Cook and the Vikings D/ST ($3,300) as cash options. On the Raiders, Tyrell Williams’ ($5,600) price has gone up and the ownership should go down. Williams is going to get the Xavier Rhodes treatment, making him a fade.

The only Raiders option is rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow ($3,700) for GPPs. He’s a pivot off Agholor for sure and he saw as many targets as Williams in Week 2. He saw more snaps in the slot than Ryan Grant and the Vikings can be had there. Minnesota’s primary slot corner, Mackensie Alexander, has a dislocated his elbow. That forced him to miss Week 2, and he is likely going to miss more time. For the time being, Jayron Kearse is the team’s solution to fill in for the banged-up defensive back. He has been targeted 13 times already this season.

RAVENS AT CHIEFS 

This is the game everybody will be on with the highest total for Week 3 DFS at 52 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. There are a lot of ways to approach this game. For me, it is the Chiefs running backs, not receivers that are the best play here. Everybody is going to flock to the receivers that include Mecole Hardman ($5,000), Demarcus Robinson ($5,200) and Sammy Watkins ($6,800). It’s difficult to project which one will end up catching a long-ball from Patrick Mahomes ($7,600), because if it does not turn into a touchdown they may not worth the roster spot.

If Mahomes continues to struggle in the red zone it could be the Chiefs running backs that steal the touchdown equity in this game. Darwin Thompson ($3,000) needs to be looked at as he may be in for a significant workload.

https://twitter.com/SharpFootball/status/1173697258572922881

On the Ravens side, Lamar Jackson ($7,000) is another lock for lineups across the board in cash and GPPs. Mark Andrews ($4,600) isn’t priced correctly so he is another value. Willie Snead ($4,200) and Miles Boykin ($3,000) could be the GPP plays. Snead led the Ravens in targets the last time these two teams played each other. Boykin’s routes run tripled in Week 2 from Week 1. They could increase even more in Week 3 DFS.

FALCONS AT COLTS 

Do not play Matt Ryan ($5,700) on the road, especially behind his porous offensive line. Running backs Devonta Freeman ($4,900) and Ito Smith ($3,700) are splitting snaps to a 55% to 45% rate in slight favor of Freeman. The matchup is great against a Colts defense that is allowing over 124 rushing yards per game and 5.5 yards per attempt. The defense has allowed the third-most fantasy points to the running back position so far throughout 2019.

Looking at the two players statistically behind the same offensive line, Freeman is averaging 2.2 yards/carry while Ito Smith is averaging 6.3 yards/carry. At that price and matchup, while considering their production through two weeks, Smith might be the sneakier play here.

https://twitter.com/RB1podcast/status/1175070209448845313

For the Colts, it looks like a smash spot for Marlon Mack ($5,800) if he is healthy. If not, Jordan Wilkins would become a very viable option at $3,500. We always target running backs versus the Falcons as they funnel targets to that position. Though Mack has not been targeted heavily he was out on the field running routes, so the potential is there.

https://twitter.com/notJDaigle/status/1173698817411158016

BRONCOS AT PACKERS 

Fire up the Packers D/ST at $3,400. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers ($6,100) should also be considered because he is at home. The Broncos have also not faced a legitimate quarterback yet this season. On the road last year the Broncos allowed 1.8 passing touchdowns per game. Marquez Valdes-Scantling ($4,300) has a nice matchup on the right side against Isaac Yiadom. Valdez-Scantling is always a guy who can make a big play, so he is a GPP target.

On the Broncos side, Emmanuel Sanders continues to be #toocheap at just $4,800. Courtland Sutton ($4,500) should also be considered a nice pivot off the cheaper wide receivers this week. If Jaire Alexander ends up shadowing Sanders, Sutton becomes the best play. Sutton has run essentially the same amount of routes as Sanders and has 14 to Sanders’ 19 targets. The touchdown equity has just been going to Sanders. That could easily change.

DOLPHINS AT COWBOYS 

Play Ezekiel Elliott $8,900 in all formats. I know many people out are scared off of Elliott because they fear the Cowboys will be ahead by so much that they will just rest him in the latter half of the game. Even if that happens it would be after Elliott smashes at the start of the game. The Dolphins have allowed a whopping 26 red zone touches to running backs in just the last two weeks. Historically as well, in games where the Cowboys have won by more than 21 or more points, Elliott has put up the following game logs in terms of rushing.

  • 18 attempts for 92 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
  • 12 attempts for 80 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
  • 26 attempts for 147 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
  • 24 attempts for 106 yards and one rushing touchdown.
  • Average of 20 rushing attempts for 106 yards and 1.75 rushing touchdowns.

In those same games, Dak Prescott ($6,500) has averaged 216.5 passing yards and 2.75 passing touchdowns. From a receiver standpoint Jason Witten ($3,700) has produced well in blowouts along with whoever is the primary slot receiver and Randall Cobb ($4,600) would be the primary target. Elliott and Prescott are extremely viable cash options with those latter options more of GPP targets.

As for Miami, the only player I would even consider rostering would be Preston Williams ($3,700). He had a nice connection with Josh Rosen ($4,500) during the preseason. The Cowboys D/ST ($4,300) could be a trap.

Everybody who did not play the Patriots D/ST last week missed out on the 37-point performance. However, the Patriots D/ST is actually a good defense, whereas the Cowboys D/ST has been bad even in two-plus matchups against the Giants and Redskins. They scored just seven total fantasy points.

Upgrade now!

Late Games

GIANTS AT BUCCANEERS 

The Giants are running the ball at an extremely efficient rate. They are averaging 7.6 yards per attempt, which ranks number one in the NFL. Then, when you consider that the Buccaneers will most likely be without starting rookie linebacker Devin White, Saquon Barkley ($9,100) is going to be chomping at the bit to produce in this matchup. Then factor in that Evan Engram ($5,200) is also facing a Buccaneers defense that has been ripped by tight ends the last two weeks. Greg Olsen had six receptions for 110 yards and George Kittle had eight receptions for 54 yards with two touchdowns called back due to penalties.

Daniel Jones ($5,000) does offer upside as a runner in his first NFL start and impressed during the preseason. If you are looking to save at QB, creating a stack of Jones, Engram and Barkley could be solid in GPPs. Expect to see Sterling Shepard ($4,900) back on the field playing the majority of his snaps in the slot. But don’t overlook the preseason and backup connection between Jones and Bennie Fowler ($3,700). Fowler is, however, dealing with a hamstring injury and Cody Latimer ($3,800) is out.

This should also be a bounce-back game for Jameis Winston ($5,400). Winston is at home and the New York Giants have given up the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Specifically, it has been the receiver position that has dominated the Giants through the first two weeks. If Winston can just distribute the ball to his elite playmakers like Mike Evans ($6,600) and Chris Godwin ($6,900) he should have a Top 10 fantasy finish in Week 3 DFS.

In Winston’s five starts at home last season he threw at least two touchdowns in four of them and averaged 297 passing yards. Evans is in a huge bounce-back spot as well, especially versus the Giants who he has owned in the past. In his last three games versus Big Blue, he has averaged 12.3 targets, 6.3 receptions, and 112.3 receiving yards.

PANTHERS AT CARDINALS 

If the first two weeks of the season have told us anything, there are going to be a lot of plays run in this game. It’s insane how often the Cardinals are running four-receiver sets. Arizona is running 10+ personnel on 64% of their plays through the first two weeks of the season. The next closest team is the Rams at 11%. Larry Fitzgerald ($5,100), Damiere Byrd ($3,000), Curtis Samuel ($4,800), Christian Kirk ($5,000), and D.J. Moore ($5,900) are the top five leaders in routes run so far in 2019.

Exposure to all of these receivers in some fashion will be beneficial. I like Kirk and Fitzgerald in cash specifically with Byrd and Samuel more as GPP plays. Also, Greg Olsen is in a smash spot in Week 3 DFS at $3,700 against the team that is league-worst versus the tight end position.

STEELERS AT 49ERS 

Buy into the James Washington ($3,500) to Mason Rudolph ($4,800) narrative. Washington is a throwing machine and has shown good chemistry in the preseason with Rudolph. He is worth a shot in GPPs at the receiver position. For the 49ers, George Kittle ($5,600) is vastly underpriced and Deebo Samuel ($4,500) is emerging as a primary option in the passing game.

SAINTS AT SEAHAWKS 

Alvin Kamara ($8,000) is the ultimate GPP buy-back this week. He burned a lot of owners last week, which is it’s time to buy back in for Week 3 DFS. On the Seahawks side consider DK Metcalf ($4,700) and Tyler Lockett ($6,200) against a suspect Saints secondary. They have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to the position so far in 2019.

TEXANS AT CHARGERS 

Austin Ekeler ($7,200) is a stone-cold lock again at the RB slot. He is the cheapest of the upper-tier backs that get all the touches. He is still underpriced despite being the number one running back in fantasy through the first two weeks. Mike Williams ($4,900) is also interesting because of his touchdown upside that is being overlooked. The Texans do not have a good secondary. Will Fuller ($4,900) is still seeing a very high ADOT: 24.3. This game could be a sneaky shootout featuring two gunslingers in Deshaun Watson ($6,400) and Philip Rivers ($5,800) for Week 3 DFS.

Welcome to NFL Week Three’s Edition of Season Long Start ‘Em and Sit ‘Em.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

NFL Week Three – Quarterbacks to Start

Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions – This game should have some points and Matthew Stafford and the Lions have looked good so far. There will be some opportunities for some big plays facing an exploitable Eagles secondary.

Baker Mayfield – Cleveland Browns Sure, the Rams have a strong defense. However, Baker Mayfield has become a weekly play and it’s not like the Rams haven’t been in involved in high scoring games.

Jacoby Brissett – Indianapolis Colts – The Colts would not have paid him if they didn’t think that he is competent. This is an upside spot for Jacoby Brissett at home despite the Falcons strong pass defense early on.

NFL Week Three – Quarterback to Sit

Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals – Outside of random deep passes to John Ross I want no part of this offense right now. Particularly not on the road in Buffalo.

NFL Week Three – Running Backs to Start

Raheem Mostert – San Francisco 49ers – With the Steelers in the shape they are in, the game script should favor Raheem Mostert. I would expect him to receive his biggest workload yet.

Jordan Wilkins – Indianapolis Colts – If you’re a vigilant Marlon Mack owner make it a priority to pick up Wilkins now if still available. Mack could miss this week’s game with a calf injury.

NFL Week Three – Running Backs to Sit

Joe Mixon – Cincinnati Bengals – Between still being shaken up and the abysmal state of the Bengals offense this is a hard pass. It’s time to accept this was not a good draft day pick unless he dropped substantially in your draft.

Todd Gurley – Los Angeles Rams – The Browns have a much improved defense and if you have options don’t feel forced to keep stuffing Gurley into your lineup.

Le’Veon Bell – New York Jets- He is a weekly start more often than not. However, this game might be over by the first quarter as the Jets get “Falk-ed Up”. The game script suggests outside of some pass catching duties there will be little role for him and he might come out of the game if it gets out of hand.

NFL Week Three – Wide Receivers to Start

Terry McLaurin – Washington Redskins- It is unlikely that the Redskins score a ton of points here. However, there should be plenty of throws.

Larry Fitzgerald – Arizona Cardinals – Kyler Murray has helped bring Larry Fitzgerald back to life. Start him with confidence moving forward.

Marvin Jones Jr – Detroit Lions – The Eagles have allowed the second most points to wide receivers so far, which bodes well for Jones.

NFL Week Three – Wide Receivers to Sit

John Ross – Cincinnati Bengals – Odds are there is no bailout bomb this week in Buffalo.

Josh Gordon – New England Patriots – Now the forgotten man in New England, Gordon will have limited opportunities to score points before the Patriots start running out the clock.

Stefon Diggs – Minnesota Vikings – It might be best to take the wait and see approach at this point. You do not want to risk another week of falling behind at this position.

Upgrade now!

NFL Week Three – Tight End to Start

O.J. Howard – Tampa Bay Buccaneers- In a couple of my leagues I have already seen Howard land on the waiver wire. The Giants have allowed massive fantasy production over the last two years to tight ends. Seems like a huge spot for Howard to bounce back.

NFL Week Three – Tight End to Sit

Jason Witten – Dallas Cowboys – I guess make it two weeks in a row that Witten has found the end zone. However, unless you expect him to score a touchdown every week, he will struggle to hit value. I’d expect a heavy dose of the run in this joke of a game.

NFL Week Three – Defenses to Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Definitely not an every week defense, but I am not sold on Daniel Jones being the solution to all of the Giants’ problems. This should be a tough debut on the road.

Green Bay Packers – Slowly gaining respect and attention, the Packers defense is in a great spot facing the ghost of Joe Flacco.

NFL Week Three – Defenses to Sit

Philadelphia Eagles – This game could easily turn into a shootout so I don’t have much interest in either defense.

Denver Broncos – The better half of the Broncos, the defense still has not looked the same this year. If they struggled in Oakland, it’s hard to suggest playing them versus Aaron Rodgers and company.

Welcome to Week Two’s NFL Season Long Start ‘Em and Sit ‘Em. After an interesting Week One, we find ourselves looking at a few players a bit differently.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

Week Two – Quarterbacks to Start

Josh Allen – Buffalo Bills – A fringe starter from week to week, I would expect the Bills to make it two straight wins vs. the G-Men. His legs provide Josh Allen with an ample floor.

Derek Carr – Oakland Raiders – After coming in for Nick Foles, Gardner Minshew looked like a young Tom Brady. This can be attributed at least in part to the glaring holes still remaining in the Kansas City defense.

Kirk Cousins – Minnesota Vikings – Cousins looks like he’s in for a rebound season and it starts here.

Week Two – Quarterbacks to Sit

Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers – Aaron Rodgers is normally a weekly start but I would pass on him facing the Vikings. If your backup has a better matchup this might be a good week not to force Rodgers in.

Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers were an absolute disaster Week One and there is limited reason for any optimism here.

Joe Flacco – Denver Broncos – If you play in a two quarterback league, Joe Flacco would normally be a fringe starter, but not this week.

Week Two – Running Backs to Start

Sony Michel – New England Patriots – This sets up for the ultimate Sony Michel game script. It doesn’t matter who sits or starts for New England otherwise as their reserves could win this game. Michel makes for one of my favorite Week Two NFL picks.

Matt Breida – San Francisco 49ers – With Tevin Coleman hurt, Matt Breida should get the lion’s share of the workload.

Week Two – Running Backs to Sit

David Johnson – Arizona Cardinals – What to do here is entirely dependent on who you could swap in for David Johnson. However, the west to east matchup in Baltimore might make for a down week.

Adrian Peterson – Washington Redskins – He will likely draw the start in a lot of lineups but this feels like a trap.

Phillip Lindsay – Denver Broncos – After the Broncos struggled Week One versus the Raiders, this does not seem like the rebound spot facing the Bears.

Week Two – Wide Receivers to Start

Tyrell Williams – Oakland Raiders – Just as I like Derek Carr this week, I think it can be another productive week for “Tyrell the Gazelle”.

Tyler Boyd – Cincinnati Bengals – The early part of the season is prime time for Boyd owners for however long A.J. Green remains out. He makes for one of the more predictable Week Two NFL receivers in terms of volume.

Week Two – Wide Receivers to Sit

Allen Robinson – Chicago Bears – While I expect the Bears to win versus Denver, it won’t be because the offense carries them.

Marquise Brown – Baltimore Ravens – Starting Marquise Brown simply feels like chasing given his limited snaps and involvement outside of a few big plays last week.

Kenny Golladay – Detroit Lions – Tough sailing lies ahead for Golladay Week Two facing one of the leagues better secondaries.

Week Two – Tight End to Start

Darren Waller – Oakland Raiders – Sticking with the whole Oakland offense theme, Waller seems like quite a draft-day steal.

Week Two – Tight End to Sit

Jason Witten – Dallas Cowboys – Old man time may have found his way into the end zone last week but do not expect the Witten of old.

Week Two – Defenses to Start

Buffalo Bills – Maybe not an every week start but a solid defense nonetheless. They have will an opportunity to add another bad chapter to the “Book of Eli”.

Cleveland Browns – This is a must win game facing the quarterback less Jets.

Week Two – Defense to Sit

Los Angeles Rams – The Rams might have been one of the top five defenses off the board in your draft. However, I think that the Saints get some revenge and this turns out a bit more high scoring than last year’s NFC Championship game.

Green Bay Packers – The Vikings might be out to send a message that they are ready to meet expectations

It is time to move on to Week 2 DFS. Now we finally have some data to build off of! We will go through each matchup game by game, and I will give my best buys and fades.

WEEK TWO VIDEO PREVIEW with Matt Striker, The King and Jason Mezrahi

MINNESOTA AT GREEN BAY

Talk about a potential snoozefest for Week 2 DFS. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, this game is slated for a total of 44 points with the Packers -3. Neither quarterback is in a desirable spot for cash games, but Aaron Rodgers ($6,500) is in an interesting spot as a GPP play because he will garner low-ownership percentage. In Rodgers’ last two starts at home against the Vikings, he’s thrown five touchdowns and averaged 314 passing yards. In those two games, both Davante Adams ($7,700) and Geronimo Allison ($4,400) had 60+ yards receiving or caught a touchdown. Lock Dalvin Cook ($7,200) in as well. The Packers allowed 15 receptions on 18 targets to running backs in the passing game last week. And the Vikings are high on team #EstablishTheRun.

The one thing to note is that there is a chance that this game is a sneaky shootout. It’s easy to stack receivers with Kirk Cousins at $5,300 because of the consolidated target share. The Vikings are so run so heavy in two-receiver sets (52% of plays last week). Adam Thielen ($7,100) and Stefon Diggs ($6,300) should dominate against the Packers, who ranked last in defensive efficiency against two-receiver sets. Thielen has gone over 96 yards in four of his last five against Green Bay. Diggs has gone over 60 yards in four of his last five games against Green Bay.

ARIZONA AT BALTIMORE

You should probably play Lamar Jackson ($6,700) across all formats in Week 2 DFS. Even at his expensive price the matchup against the Cardinals is too juicy. They allowed Matthew Stafford to absolutely explode in Week 1 for 31.6 fantasy points. Marquise Brown ($5,000) and Mark Andrews ($3,800) will be the two chalky receivers for Jackson. Brown is the easier fade, but Andrews is tough not to buy into considering what rookie T.J. Hockenson did to this Cardinals defense in Week 1. If you are looking to pivot off the chalkier Brown consider Seth Roberts, who led the team in snaps at the receiver position (52) and routes run (18). Mark Ingram might be heavily owned, especially this week in cash, but with no involvement in the passing game, that could make him more of a fade even against the porous Cardinals run defense if he does not score.

Arizona,ran 10-personnel on over 65% of their snaps. There is going to be opportunities for these receivers, especially if the Cardinals fall behind. You have Michael Crabtree ($3,300) with his #revengegame narrative, along with Christian Kirk ($4,500) and KeeSean Johnson ($3,100) as other options. Larry Fitzgerald ($4,600) traditionally plays better at home, making Kirk the better option this week.

JACKSONVILLE AT HOUSTON

It’s Gardner Minshew season in GPPs! Seriously though, at his price point at $4,800 as the starting quarterback of the Jaguars he can return on the investment. He scored 18.6 fantasy points last week against the Chiefs and in Week 2 DFS is playing an equally bad defense, The key for Minshew to be successful is that he will need to have time to throw the ball. Luckily for him, the Texans ranked sixth-worst in pass-rush grade in Week 1. Stack him with Dede Westbrook ($5,400) and Leonard Fournette ($6,300). Those guys could see a ton of short-area targets based on Minshew’s preseason yards/attempt at 4.9. Lower ownership as well. Also, the Texans just released Aaron Colvin, who was their primary slot cornerback.

As for the Texans, we saw the Chiefs made big plays against this secondary. This makes Will Fuller at ($5,300) an absolute screaming value play. In three career games against Jacksonville, Fuller has seen at least eight targets or totaled five receptions.

DALLAS AT WASHINGTON

Ezekiel Elliott ($8,700) in cash games. In GPPs, Adrian Peterson ($3,400) is getting the start and is running against the defense that allowed 10 yards/attempt last week to the Giants’ Saquon Barkley. Peterson is fresh and coming off a healthy inactive scratch. He’ll be ready to roll. Dak Prescott ($6,300) is another consideration in cash and can be stacked with any number of his receivers. Vernon Davis ($3,200) / Jordan Reed ($3,400) are two more punt plays at tight end. Reed will have very low ownership even if he does play.

INDIANAPOLIS AT TENNESSE

The Colts allowed the second-most fantasy points to the running back position in Week 2 DFS. Sets the stage nicely for Derrick Henry ($6,000). However, the contrarian play is Marlon Mack ($5,900). The Colts have historically dominated the Titans. Mack rushed for 180 yards in two games last year with two touchdowns against the Titans.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS AT DETROIT

Austin Ekeler ($6,100) in cash games. He was the true workhorse in the Chargers’ backfield. It was 75-25% split between him and Justin Jackson in snaps, 12-6 in rushing attempts, and seven-three in targets. His price went up just $600 from Week 1. Also, there are a ton of injuries with Hunter Henry out and Mike Williams ($5,500) just funneling more targets to Ekeler and Keenan Allen ($7,600). Should Williams completely miss the game, wide receiver Travis Benjamin ($3,200) gets a significant bump.

SAN FRANCISCO AT CINCINNATI

Tyler Boyd ($6,500) is still the option to target heavily at the receiver position. His ownership will probably be suppressed because of the hype on John Ross. Boyd received 11 targets and still definitely emerged as Andy Dalton’s safety net. If Joe Mixon ($6,500) is out, prepare to eat chalk and get a lot of exposure on Giovani Bernard ($5,300).

NEW ENGLAND AT MIAMI

Buy into Sony Michel ($6,200) in GPPs. Michel flopped big time in Week 1, but the game script narrative absolutely screams Michel as the dominant runner. But if the Patriots decide to make Damien Harris ($3,500) active I would pivot off Michel immediately. Harris profiles as a more in-between the tackles grinder so he could end up eating into touches if the game gets out of hand. Tom Brady ($6,400) is a safe cash play at the quarterback position. Too many weapons and he averaged 316 yards passing and three touchdowns in his last two games versus Miami.

SEATTLE AT PITTSBURGH

The Seahawks allowed 418 passing yards last week, which was a career-high for Andy Dalton. Ben Roethlisberger is definitely set to have a bounce-back effort against Seattle in Week 2 DFS. He is back home where his TD-INT ratio was 19-7 versus 15-9 on the road. A GPP receiver that could see some potential boom potential for Pittsburgh is James Washington. He led all players in air yards last Sunday (169) and Donte Moncrief has feet for hands. Chris Carson ($6,400) is a fade for me in an offense that does not necessarily project to see a lot of plays run. The Steelers run defense also played pretty well last week. They limited the Patriots to 3.4 yards per carry. The Seahawks averaged just 2.9 yards per carry last week against a sub-par Bengals defensive unit.

BUFFALO AT NEW YORK GIANTS

Josh Allen ($5,300) is one of the quarterbacks to target in GPPs. Despite four awful turnovers, Allen still managed to score 17+ fantasy points. With the Giants next up on the schedule (allowed 100+ receiving yards to both Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper and over 180 air yards last week) there’s upside with Allen. Three of Allen’s receivers surpassed over 70 air yards last week. Most will stack John Brown, but for a sneaky play look for Cole Beasley ($3,800) and Zay Jones ($3,500). As always the Giants have a two-man show in Evan Engram ($5,200) and Saqoun Barkley ($9,200). Engram is just $400 more than last week. They both see so much work and are viable options in both cash and GPPs. Especially with the chance that Sterling Shepard misses the game with a concussion.

KANSAS CITY AT OAKLAND

The highest over/under in Week 2 DFS this game should be heavily targeted by DFS players. Tyrell Williams ($4,400) is the stone-cold lock as a value wide receiver who has a great chance of leading the team in targets. Darren Waller ($3,300) is also the perfect punt play at tight end to get great value paying down for tight end. Running back Josh Jacobs at ($4,700) is also absolutely absurdly priced as a running back that could easily see 20+ touches. Tons of value on the Raiders side of things with the Chiefs creating an offensive atmosphere.

For the Chiefs, there’s a lot of value behind Mecole Hardman ($4,800) to be the Tyreek Hill replacement. If we learned anything from Week 1 is that speed kills. Hardman can fly and if he sees his role expanded he can deliver big-time.

NEW ORLEANS AT LOS ANGELES RAMS

Fade Drew Brees ($6,200). Brees’ 2018 home-road splits are absolutely astonishing. 21-1 TD – INT ratio at home, versus 11-4 ratio on the road. Yards per pass attempt fall from 9.54 all the way down to 6.88. Averaged 321 passing yards/game at home versus 217 passing yards/game on the road. But the quarterback on the other side of the field, Jared Goff ($5,900), is a BUY. His home TD-INT ratio last season was 22-3 with a yards/attempt at 9. You also need to make sure that Alvin Kamara ($8,200) is literally in every single one of your lineups. Then you need to bring it back with Brandin Cooks ($6,300) who like Goff, smashes at home. His numbers increase at home, going to 6.6 receptions and 95 receiving yards from 3.4 receptions and 55 receiving yards. Also…#revengegame.

With Brees projected to struggle, that is also why Michael Thomas is not someone you should be targeting at $8,000. The Rams secondary is much better with Aqib Talib on the field. In the NFC Championship Game, Thomas was held to just four receptions for 36 receiving yards. The better pass-catching option to utilize is Jared Cook at $4,700. Cook has played against the Wade Phillips led Rams’ defense just once and he absolutely smashed. Nine receptions for 180 yards.

CHICAGO AT DENVER

You need to play a Week 2 DFS DST from some game correct? The Broncos DST ($2,700) was absolutely terrible last week against Oakland, but their track record in September at home is great. According to BradOTC on Twitter, the Broncos are 53-8-1 at Home in Weeks 1-2 since the AFL-NFL merger. 21-1 at home Weeks 1-2 since 2001. Also Mitchell Trubisky had three interceptions and five fumbles on the road last season. This game has the lowest total on FanDuel Sportsbooks at 40.5 with the Bears road favorites at -2.5.

Week One of the NFL is upon us and before you turn around Sunday will be here. That means it’s time to make some important decisions regarding who to start and who to sit this week in seasonal Fantasy Football.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

Week One NFL Start ‘Em One: Mark Ingram – Baltimore Ravens

We have a case of a run-heavy team coming in as a big favorite versus a weak Miami Dolphins defense. Ingram is in for a big year and it starts Week One. The Ravens brought him in to be the man and he should get the ball early and often.

Week One NFL Start ‘Em Two : Mike Williams – Los Angeles Chargers

Austin Ekeler is the immediate replacement for Melvin Gordon, but only he fills part of his pass catching void with snap count. When you also account for the loss of Tyrell Williams, you have to assume Mike Williams will be a big beneficiary. This could be a breakout game for the young receiver who seems too low on most weekly rankings for someone so talented.

Week One NFL Start ‘Em Three: Jimmy Garoppolo- San Francisco 49ers

I think the Tampa Bay/San Francisco game sets up to be a shootout. While considered a fringe Top 20 quarterback as opposed to Bucs starter Jameis Winston, Jimmy Garoppolo should be in for a similar day. People forget his hot start last season prior to getting injured as they only care about what players have done lately.

Week One NFL Sit Em One: Kenyan Drake – Miami Dolphins

This one is an easy sit as it is just not the week for Drake. The Ravens possess one of the leagues stingiest run defenses. When coupled with Drake’s role in a timeshare, I would sit him unless in the most dire of situations.

Week One NFL Sit Em Two: Miles Sanders – Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles traditionally have done their best to mix up backs and limit running back use in general. I could see people plugging him in the flex spot just based on matchup and potential gamescript. However, I think if there is a more reliable alternative it might be best to take a wait and see approach. It would not be surprising if his snaps were somewhat limited and Jordan Howard vultures all of the goal line carries.

Week One NFL Sit Em Three: Jacksonville Jaguars Defense

More likely than not, if you have the Jaguars defense you had planned on starting them virtually every week. However, here we are Week One and already a dilemma. I will take a hard pass on them this week versus the explosive Kansas City offense. I just don’t see any reason to potentially start the season off on a bad foot when there is probably a much better option available on waivers.
