![]() ![]() ![]() The Texans are coming off a divisional win over the Jaguars followed by the bye and are surely looking to keep the positive momentum going in Las Vegas this weekend. I’m not sure Mills and Collins are the duo to accomplish that, but I do like them to fill in for my decimated rosters this week. Tinker Withĭavis Mills/Nico Collins: I like to give an idea or two to the SuperFlex or 2QB leaguers out there, and maybe convince those who aren’t enjoying this superior format to make the switch next season. Expect 10-plus targets for Hopkins and hope for a highlight reel touchdown catch or two. It’s worth noting that although New Orleans is still a good run defense, they allow the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Even if it weren’t a rough week for WR byes, this is a smash spot for Hopkins and I would want him in my fantasy lineups for Thursday’s showdown with the Saints. They need an injection of elite offense and they need it now. The Cardinals have struggled on both sides of the ball so far this season and sit at the bottom of the competitive NFC West with a 2-4 record. Things aren’t great on the RB front for Arizona either. Even though they acquired Robbie Anderson via trade, let’s be blunt: Anderson is not Hopkins, nor Brown. The Cardinals losing Marquise Brown to an extended injury makes a huge difference here. From his social media presence, we know Hopkins is mentally, and presumably physically, ready to play, but what about team culture? Will coaches ease him in? Some concern is understandable. I predict Lamb will have his best game of this season so far against the Lions.ĭeAndre Hopkins: Some of us like to take a wait and see approach with a newly traded player, a rookie, or in this case, a player coming off suspension. The differences aren’t huge, but they are there. ![]() Lamb has been better with Prescott (21 games) than without (17 games) in basically every statistic: targets, receptions, receiving yards, yards per catch and touchdowns. Great for Prescott, but really super-great for Lamb, who has proved to be one of his favorite and most reliable targets over the past two seasons. It sounds like Dak Prescott might return this weekend for a very nice matchup with the Detroit Lions, who allow the most overall fantasy points to opponents, second-most to QBs and eighth-most to wide receivers. I don’t expect a ceiling game from McCaffrey this weekend, but I do think he’ll be better than almost anyone on waivers or your bench.ĬeeDee Lamb: Lamb (and his fantasy managers) endured a rough Weeks 5-6, where he managed just 10-12 PPR fantasy points per game despite seeing 18 total targets from Cooper Rush. He has basically been the entire offense, and now the Panthers have sent Robbie Anderson off to Arizona. And the Buccaneers are the worst fantasy matchup for running backs, but as we know, McCaffrey is not the typical RB. Hopefully his continued productivity in Week 6 (69 rushing yards, seven catches on eight targets for 89 yards) has put any concerns to rest, but just in case you’re looking at a matchup with Tampa Bay and thinking about going with someone else, don’t! Carolina is clearly a disaster, ranking in the bottom five in points scored, but Top 10 in points allowed. ![]() Don’t OverthinkĬhristian McCaffrey: I heard about people considering benching McCaffrey last week amidst the trade rumors and the QB shift to P.J. On the other hand, there are fewer big names playing this week and some of them are in for a tough time, but it’s more important than ever to not overthink starting certain struggling stars. There are some widely available players in great matchups this weekend, and although they’re a far cry from the guys you’re missing, some of them will hit if you have players to drop for them. I find there are two general ways to react: give up, take the L, you can probably afford it if you’re that affected by the byes this week… OR… get scrappy, hit the waivers, take chances with your bench. ![]()
