QB

I’m rolling with Ryan Fitzpatrick this week vs Cincinnati. Yes Fitzmagic is back and it could not have come at a better time. The Bengals defense has been towards the bottom in almost every defensive category so far this season. Great matchup for Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins offense on Sunday. Believe it or not but the Dolphins have been moving the ball and actually scoring a lot of touchdowns lately thanks to the newly found connection of Fitzpatrick and Devante Parker.

Drew Lock is also an interesting streaming option vs Detroit. The Lions defense is flat out terrible; Winston almost threw for 500 yards against them last week and that was with 3rd and 4th string receivers. Besides the snowy game last week Drew Lock has been red hot lately.

RB

With the Vikings resting Dalvin Cook this week and with the possibility of losing backup Alexander Mattison due to injury the Vikings will be really thin at RB. Mike Boone is the guy to know for Monday. Boone got majority of the carries last Sunday vs the Chargers and will be the workhorse for Minnesota on Monday night.

DeAndre Washington could be another guy on the waiver wire this week to add. With Josh Jacobs out Gruden and Derek Carr will have to rely heavily on Washington to be the guy on Sunday. Look for DeAndre Washington to have a big workload and should be a great flex option this weekend.

Is Alvin Kamara the biggest bust in fantasy so far this season? I think Odell Beckham Jr. and David Johnson might have something to say about that but Kamara is right up in that conversation. Kamara has only scored 2 touchdowns this season…. 2!! As a #1 RB that’s unacceptable, Latavius Murray has scored more than Kamara, Taysom Hill has scored more than Kamara. Let that sink in for a minute. Alvin Kamara has not scored since Week 3 but you have to keep him in your lineup right? Unless you have a deep RB core most fantasy owners cannot afford to take Kamara out of their lineup and risk the chance of him going off for a career day. I think us Kamara owners have to ride it out even in the playoffs; we live or die with our first round pick.

WR

The Eagles receiving core took another huge hit when Alshon Jeffrey was ruled out for the rest of the season. Lately the Eagles have been using Zach Ertz A LOT but they need a threat on the outside again. And if you think Nelson Agholor is the answer, you’re wrong. Greg Ward is the guy I would be streaming this week. He will be on the field a lot and Carson Wentz continues to look his way as Ward continues to develop.

Depending on the injury to DJ Chark I would target Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley. Right now it doesn’t look like Chark will be able to go and with Westbrook lately being a boom or bust guy I like Conley this week as a streaming option. The Falcons have struggled mightily in the secondary with neither team playing for anything besides draft position. I believe both offenses will try a few things and we could see a lot of points being scored in this one.

TE

I love Jacob Hollister this week vs Arizona. The Cardinals are the worst team in the league when it comes to defending the TE position. Arizona is ranked 32nd allowing an average of 19 fantasy points per week to the TE position!! The NFL average is right around 10. Stream Jacob Hollister this week.
