QUARTERBACK
Cam – He will be pretty chalky considering quarterback is spread out week to week. I said on the pod I expect 4 td’s this week whether it’s through the air/ground or combination. He’s been extremely efficient through the air the last 3 weeks, and with his younger receivers now stepping up, the sky’s the limit today for Cam.
Goff – He gets Cooper Kupp back this week, which you could tell last week that he missed him. New Orleans are 28th against the pass, and LA should have their way with them considering Gurley will have the majority of their attention.
Brees – We Play him whenever he’s at home, no matter who they’re playing. He has 8 touchdowns and 0 interceptions this year at home.
Fitzpatrick – Fitzmagic is back in at the starter, and gets a decent matchup in what should be a high scoring game this week. Fitz has 3 games over 400 yards this year, and shouldn’t have a hard time hitting the 300 mark this week.
Wilson – I think Wilson will come be overlooked this week with some of the top guys garnering much of the ownership. He’s quietly had 3 straight games with 3 touchdowns.
RUNNING BACK
McCaffrey – This will be the week Carolina gets CMC involved heavily in the passing game. He’s priced down on both sites, but will have some ownership. Carolina has been most successful when he touches the ball 20+ times, which I think he does this week.
Murray – I love Murray this week. Detroit is 32nd in the league against the run, while Murray has scored 4 touchdowns in the last 3 weeks. Cook is expected to play 15-20 snaps, but I don’t think that will effect Murray much.
Ekeler – We have to keep an eye on Gordon’s health. He is expected to play, but if he tweaks his hamstring or isn’t 100% we’ll see a lot of Ekeler. I still think he’ll be involved in the passing game, especially with Seattle scoring.
Howard – He finally had over 20 Carries last week, and looked good. I don’t think Chicago will need to do much offensively, so game flow should definitely filter to Howard.
Peterson – He’s turning back the clocks over the past 3 weeks. With Thompson already ruled out and Bibbs dealing with an injury as well, AP should see all the carries he can handle this week.
Others I’m ok with
Duke
Carson
Crowell
WIDE RECEIVER
Thielen/Brown – Both guys in great spots, so it’s a toss up between the 2.
Cooks – Revenge game narrative, back in New Orleans. High scoring game, with a lot of targets to go around.
Evans – Fitz loves Evans earlier in the year, and will see double digit targets again this week. Best correlation for Fitz.
Kupp – Goff’s security blanket is back this week. This will be a high scoring game, and with Kupp being cheaper than the other WR you can save money while getting a piece of this game.
Lockett – His touchdown to catch ratio is ridiculous. He’s scored in every game this year except one. Should see a few more targets with San Diego’s ability to score points.
Moore – DJ should get a good amount of targets this week with Torrey Smith out again. Cam hits him on a 40 yard TD
Others I’m ok with
Sanders
T. Williams
TIGHT END
Howard – has scored double digit points in 4 of 7 games this year. This is a very weak position this week, but Howard has the most upside in a high scoring game.
Njoku – 4 straight games being heavily involved in the passing game. KC struggles in the secondary, so Njoku should get in the box this week.
Hooper – Atlanta tends to struggle in grass and on the road, so Ryan should lean on his security blanket this week.
DEFENSE
Bears
Dolphins
Vikings
Redskins
