QUARTERBACKS
Stafford – Love this spot for him in a game that should go back and forth. He’s attempted 75 passes through the first 2 games, and dating back to last year Philly has allowed 297 yards through the air over their last 9 games.
Allen – With Singletary out, you can guarantee Allen will be using his legs this week. Gore won’t be able to carry the load, and Allen has scored both through the air and on the ground in each game this Year.
Jackson – This game could be sloppy as far as weather, so I may not be as high as I usually am on him. He’s been unstoppable so far this year and facing a defense that’s “supposed” to be improved this year. KC will be able to score, and Jackson will need both his arm and legs this week to match them score for score.
OTHERS WITH UPSIDE
Murray
Dak
RUNNING BACKS
McCaffrey – obvious play without Cam. In December last year without Cam, he totaled 30+ touches and also 200 all purpose yards.
Cook – Best back in the league so far this year. Minnesota will do all the can to keep the game off Cousins shoulders. He took a beating in the media this week, and most likely lean on Cook and Mattison to run through this Oakland D.
Ekeler – He should get a good amount of targets this week in a possible shootout. Ekeler has been so good this year, both on the ground and through the air averaging 21 touches a game so far
Barkley – obvious play again. Rookie QB that NY won’t put the win on his back.
Carson – With Penny more than likely out, Carson should now get 90% of the carries with Prosise mixed in. Carson has a fumbling issue, but with Penny hurting his hamstring in a freaking walkthrough it’s going to be all Carson.
OTHERS WITH UPSIDE
Howard
Freeman
RECEIVERS (I’ll have a tight core here this week. Lower priced guys are in great spots and love the $4800-$7000 range)
Sanders – Dominating all corners this year. Another 10+ targets and cheap
Golladay – Tall receivers destroy this secondary. Golladay is 6-4 and averaging around 10 targets a game.
Hollywood Brown – weather could play and issue here, but will stretch the field against a bad KC secondary.
Agholor – Chalk spot, very cheap. He’s played well when Alshon has been out. As long as he stays in the slot, he should get peppered with targets.
Fitz – Old man still has it, seeing 24 targets through 2 games. Murray leans on Fitz often, especially in crucial downs.
OTHERS WITH UPSIDE
Boyd/Ross
Diggs/Thielen
TIGHT END
Ertz – will be EXTREMELY popular this week, with everyone hurt for Philly. Possible 15+ targets again.
Howard – Cheap TE that everyone loves. I’m not as sign as some people but I get it. Giants vs TE
Hockenson – Detroit/Philly shootout.
McDonald – Revenge narrative with a rookie QB who threw 2 td’s to him last week.
