The weekly daily fantasy article is here and ready! Continuously getting messages of my followers telling me how much they’ve won and it will only continue! Remember, notables are players that you could start at a cheaper budget usually instead of the normal big dogs.
Vikings vs Texans –
Notables – Jerrick McKinnon 6200
Kyle Rudolph 5500
Sam Bradford 7400
I don’t know how but Rudolph is still very cheap. He’s been a tight end 1 and I can’t see him dropping off especially since Diggs will most likely be out this week. No Texans this week because they are decimated on defense and Vikings defense is unstoppable at this moment.
Bears vs Colts
Notables – Zach Miller 5400
Bryan Hoyer 6000
Frank Gore 6500
Never thought I’d have Zach Miller and Hoyer on this list but here they are. Royal could be out and White is on the IR so Alshon and Miller should be the highest targeted receivers and Hoyer has looked fairly decent. I like him as my sleeper of the week. Gore has been absolutely destroying defenses lately so while he’s cheap I’d start him.
Jets vs Steelers
Notables – Markus Wheaton 5500
Bilal Powell 5100
Quincy Enunwa 6200
Pickspatrick is about to set an NFL record for most consecutive games with 3 or more interceptions so I Guarantee they will be looking at the run game and it’s looking more like a split lately and with Forte getting banged up last week Powell should see more work. Decker may not play again so Enunwa will remain the highest targeted receiver… him and the opposing defense.
Titans vs Dolphins
Notables – Marcus Mariota 7000
Kenny Stills 5700
Delanie Walker 6400
Here I go saying Walker will be the best tight end again and then he gets injured but hopefully not this week! Great matchup for him to have s big bounce back. Stills is so boom or bust you’ll either get 3 or 18 points, but fun fact, he is on the field for 99% of plays. Interesting that he isn’t utilized more.
Eagles vs Lions
Notables – Wendell Smallwood 5900
Golden Tate 6400
Theo Riddick 6200
Jim-bob Cooter(man do I love that name) has exclaimed that state is going to have a HUGE game this week and I want to believe it! Also some talks of my preseason hype machine Wendell getting 9 carries this week and with Dwayne Washington out Theo Riddick and Zach Zenner will be “tearing up” the backfield. Quotes heavy on tearing up.
Patriots vs Browns
Notables – Duke Johnson 5300
James White 5500
Martellus Bennett 6300
He’s back… and the poor Browns have to feel his wrath. Call me crazy but I feel like the Browns will do better than everyone thinks they will. Crow has been outstanding this year and Duke has been a shadow but I feel with them being down most of the game Duke will get his chance. James white IS my flex start of the week as he will finally be playing the Dion Lewis role he was meant to play all year. Gronk is still not himself so I expect Bennett to pick up his slack yet again.
Redskins vs Ravens
Notables – Steve Smith Sr 6300
Joe Flacco 7600
Kenneth Dixon (DNS)
So I put a DNS on Dixon because he is finally coming back but it’s way too early to start him especially with Harbaugh not even knowing what he’s doing with that backfield, but Flacco is a must start this week. I’m expecting a big game for him and his favorite target old man Smith! 300 and 2 touchdowns for Flacco this week.
Falcons vs Broncos
I’m taking out the notables for this game and just writing because this is a game to watch and I have a lot to say. An unstoppable force(Falcons offense) meets an immovable object(Broncos defense). I’m actually weary to even START Julio in this game because of the matchup to be honest. I think this game will be all(sigh…) Devonta Freeman and Jacob Tamme. Siemian should be playing through the pain and focusing on his favorite target of Emmanuel Sanders and letting Cj Anderson do his thing because, well, Falcons defense isn’t good at all. But their offense is the biggest force in the NFL currently and wait… hasn’t this happened before? Last year? This COULD be the back to reality game for Matt Ryan and their offense as I see the Broncos coming out with this one by 2 scores. Who’s my big dog to sit this week? Julio Jones…
Bengals vs CowboyS
Notables – Jeremy Hill 7300
Cole Beasley 5500
Terrance Williams 5500
Each week now Hill has been getting more and more carries and that should continue even though his YPC is not great right now. With Dez out, Beasley is still Daks favorite target and Williams is his favorite long ball target and that should continue even against a very tough Bengals defense. Beasley would be the safer option as Williams is more boom or bust.
Chargers vs Raiders
Notables – Deandre Washington 4700
Jalen Richard 4900
Other than those 2 you already know who you should be starting in this game. This shootout will be very fun to watch as both defenses are absolutely atrocious. Latavuis Murray will be out this week and this will be the battle of the hancuffs. My money is on Richard even though Washington was the favorite preseason.
Bills vs Rams
Notables – Tavon Austin 5800
Only one for this game because no one other than the running backs are even worth starting on either team. Tavon has such potential but has been solely boom or bust. I think the Rams prevail because for some reason their luck has been amazing. Maybe Jared Goff is the best clipboard QB there ever was?
