QB

With the possibility of Deshaun Watson missing this weekend’s game vs Tennessee you might have to scramble last minute to find your backup QB. Jared Goff is a guy who could be available and has a great match-up vs Arizona on Sunday. Goff torched Arizona’s secondary the last time those two teams faced each other. (Robert Woods had 17 targets)

Baker Mayfield is also a player with a nice match-up vs the 1-14 Bengals. Drew Lock vs the Raiders good be a great play but would definitely be a gamble for sure with the limited of games Lock has under his belt.

RB

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.

Pittsburgh’s defense has been elite so far this season especially against the run. With the Ravens resting a few of their starters on offense backup RB Gus Edwards steps into the starting role again this weekend. I believe there will be plenty of opportunity for the young RB even against a very tough defense. I like Gus Edwards this week as another flex play.

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.

Breshad Perriman and Justin Watson both had about 10 plus targets each last week vs Houston. Both receivers head into the last weekend as QB Winston’s #1 & #2 receivers expect a large volume share between them both. TON OF UPSIDE HERE!

With it being Week 17, some teams are resting their starters while others battle injuries it’s hard to find the perfect lineup in the Championship week. Check out Steven Sims Jr. the WR for the Redskins. With QB Dwayne Haskins and fellow rookie WR Terry McLaurin both out this weekend expect a large volume of targets heading towards Sims Jr. Steven Sims Jr. has had over 21 targets in his last 2 games including 3 touchdowns in that same span to go along with it. I love Steven Sims Jr. this week vs Dallas.

TE

I love Tyler Higbee 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. Start Tyler Higbee!

I also like Kaden Smith this week vs the Eagles. Rookie QB Daniel Jones has been slinging the ball all over the field lately and there should be plenty of opportunity for the rookie TE this weekend at home.
