QB’s
Marcus Mariota 7400 vs Packers: Mariota has become a fantasy force as he is averaging 23+ FDP over last 4 weeks including 27.9 last week. I like him this week to put up points with his arm and his legs. Looking for 15+ FDP’s
Jameis Winston 7800 vs Bears: Bears allow an Average of 20 FDP per game to QB’s and I think this game could be a shoot out. I look for Winston to put up 15-20 FDP’s this week and I love him in a stack with Mike Evans.
Cam Newton 7800 vs Chiefs: Chiefs have allowed a ton of points to QB’s all year. Newton may lose some points down at the goaline but I still like him in the 15 point area.
Philip Rivers 8100 vs Dolphins: Averaging 17.6 FDP per week I think Rivers is under valued at this price. I look for him to be in the 20-25 point range this week.
Sleeper: Jay Cutler 7000 @ Buccs
RB’s
David Johnson 9400 vs 49ers: Johnson put up 32 pts vs 49ers the last time these two matched up. I am not sure he gets all the way to 32 this time but I can see him in the 25 area.
Melvin Gordon 8300 vs Dolphins: Dolphins are ranked 30th vs run and Melvin has been a beast this year with 11 TD’s to date. I like him to rush for 100-125 yards and score at least once this week on the ground.
Spencer Ware 7300 @ Panthers: Healthy and ready to roll I think Ware can pound the rock this week against the Panthers. The key to him putting up big points is th Chiefs being able to hook up on some deep throws to soften the Panthers front 7.
Jay Ajayi 7800 vs Chargers: The Dolphins keep getting healthy on the O-line and Ajayi has had a hot hand. Thinking he could rush for 100 and get in the endzone.
Devontae Booker 7800 @ Saints: The Saints D brings out the best in most offensive players and I think the Broncos will look to get the ground game with Booker established.
Sleeper: Darren Sproles 5100 vs Falcons
WR’s
Larry Fitzgerald 7200 vs 49ers: With 23.1 FDP’s last time these teams played and the fact that Fitz has absolutely owned the 49ers over his career make him a great value at 7200.
Tyrell Williams 5900 vs Dolphins: Rivers needs to stretch the field and Williams has been his best weapon. I look at him in this offense similar to what Marcus Colston was in the Saints offense. I like 15 points from Williams this week.
Mike Evans 8500 vs Bears: Evans has been a top 2 or 3 WR this year. I don’t think he will match his 32.5 FDP’s last week but I do think he could be around 25. He will make for a great stack with Winston.
Emmanuel Sanders 6900 @ Saints: Sanders has put up poor numbers so far this year fantasy wise. However, the Saints are a great matchup for him this week. The broncos will most likely look to establish the run but I like Sanders to see his share of targets.
Michael Thomas 6400 vs Broncos: Not the best match up for a WR but I will take this ROY candidate to stay hot. Brees seems to really like Thomas and I do also. Look for him to get double digit targets and targets = points.
Sleeper: J.J. Nelson 5600 vs 49ers:
TE’s
Rob Gronkowski 8000 vs Seahawks: Throw the match up out.. This is Gronk.. 20+ FDP’s over last 3 games and I see that continuing this week. Any time Gronk steps on the field he has the potential to put up 20-25 FDP’s
Jimmy Graham 6600 @ Patriots: Big week last week.. I want to be careful not to point chase so I will only play Graham in a handful of line ups. He should get a lot of targets in the red zone.
Antonio Gates 5700 vs Dolphins: Gates has seen a steady increase in FDP’s over the last few weeks. Part of the reason is because Henry is banged up. None the less I like 15 points for Gates this week.
C.J. Fiedorowicz 5300 vs Jags: C.J. has been the favorite target of Brock so far this year and he has started to emerge as a second tier TE fantasy wide. I don’t see an abundance of points here but 10+ is a strong possibility.
Sleeper: Lance Kendricks: 4500 @ Jets.
K’s
Chandler Catanzaro 4500 vs 49ers: I know he has had a tough season points wise.. But really?? 4500 for one of the leagues best K’s vs 49ers.. Yes please.
Josh Lambo 4700 vs Dolphins, Matt Bryant 5100 @ Eagles
D’s
Cardinals 5200 vs 49ers, Jets 4800 vs Rams, Redskins 4500 vs Vikings
Stack 1:
David Johnson 8400 with Chandler Catanzaro 4500 and Cardinals D 5200 vs 49ers: A little unconventional not using a QB or a WR in a stack. I certainly could add Fitz, Nelson or Palmer and feel comfortable about it. However, I feel I could finish this line up with a different QB/WR stack and do a little better point wise..
Stack 2:
Jameis Winston 7800 with Mike Evans 8500 vs Bears: I love this tandem in general but playing the Bears is an added bonus. I am not saying the Bears are an awful Defense, I just think they will give up points to these two.
Stack 3:
Phillip Rivers 8100 with Melvin Gordon 8300, Antonio Gates 5700 and Josh Lambo 4700 vs Dolphins: Dolphins have played well of late but I think they are running into a hot offense. Give me this stack and I will run to the bank.
