QB
Matt Ryan, Falcons, $6700 DK
Ryan gets a bucs defence ranked 30th against opposing quarterbacks. I’m expecting this game to be high scoring so fire up Ryan confidently in stacks with Falcons wide receivers.
Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay, $6200 DK
The Falcons defense is playing much better, and Winston loves a pick but Winston will have more positive volume than last week in what should be a shootout.
Jeff Driskel, Lions, $5500 DK
The Redskins defence is pitiful and can’t cover any of Driskel’s talented pass-catchers downfield. Plus, Driskel can run adding more fantasy value with his legs.
RB
Christian McCaffery, Panthers, $10,500 DK
Yes I know the price! All you need to know is Christian McCaffery at this stage is matchup proof.
Jaylen Samuels, Steelers, $7200 DK
Samuels has a great matchup this week against the league’s second-worst defense versus opposing running backs. The Bengals have given up either 100 yards rushing or a rushing touchdown to an opposing RB in every game this season.
Kareem Hunt, Browns, $5600 DK
Hunt has a role in the Browns offense, I’m happy to admit I was wrong. Hunt should be able to make the most of his touches this week against the Dolphins porous defense and perhaps even find the end zone.
WR
Odell Beckham JR, Browns, $7000 DK
It’s blow up time! Over the last four weeks, Beckham has been a top-20 receiver in yards and catches. If he had found the end zone in any of those matchups, the fantasy view of him would be much different. Start him with confidence against a porous Dolphins DST
Calvin Ridley, Falcons, $6500 DK
Stack time! Ridley is coming off of an eight-catch, 143-yard, 1-touchdown game against the Panthers and should be in line for big numbers if the Falcons are forced to throw.
Trey Quinn, Washington, $3600 DK
You might think I’m mad but the Detroit Lions are ranked the worst against opposing slot receivers. Over the last 3 weeks I have called Hunter Renfrow, Taylor Gabriel and Randall Cobb against the Lions and they’ve all come up trumps with touchdowns and big days.
TE
Jacob Hollister, Seahawks, $4300 DK
Hollister will probably be low owned this week just because of the matchup, but he has 12 receptions and three touchdowns the last two games. I came across a stat the other day, Wilson has thrown 96 touchdowns in his career, 32 of them to tight ends! He loves the position.
Ryan Griffin, Jets, $4200 DK
Since Week 6, Griffin is TE4 in fantasy, thanks to four touchdowns and three games with 50-plus yards. He gets the Raiders this week making an early start on the east coast, and ranked 21st against opposing tight ends.
Vance McDonald, Steelers, $3500 DK
McDonald faces a Bengals defense that has allowed 19 receptions, 237 yards and three touchdowns to opposing tight ends in the past two games.
DST
Bears $3700 DK
Falcons $3500 DK
Lions $3100 DK
