Chances are high Tyreek Hill (5.6 Fantasy factors), Derrick Henry (6.7), Deebo Samuel (4.9), and Cooper Kupp (0) ruined many a staff’s fortunes within the first spherical of the Fantasy playoffs. However congrats in the event you managed to advance. A couple of factors to think about as you put together for Spherical 2: 1. Block your opponent’s roster wants with well timed pickups. 2. Be sure that your Sunday or Monday night time gamers are in your flex spot. 3. You need to have a sub in your roster for these night time video games simply in case. In Week 14, Ladd McConkey was a late Sunday night scratch, leaving many squads with out a alternative. 4. Monitor the climate stories. Snow and 20 levels in Chicago, Buffalo and Inexperienced Bay this week results in gradual gameplay and slippery situations, particularly for kickers.
GIDDY UP!
QB Baker Mayfield (at Cowboys) — The Bucs must preserve successful, and Baker (35 whole TDs) will preserve his foot on the fuel in Dallas. A sturdy 48-point beneath/over guarantees a excessive scoring affair.
QB Joe Burrow (vs. Browns) — Do Bengal tigers eat brownies? Provided that they’re from Cleveland. Burrow is using a ridiculous 6-game streak of three TDs or extra. He’ll proceed to feast within the Cincy Jungle.
RB Bijan Robinson (vs. Giants) — The Giants restricted Derrick Henry final week, however they forgot to close down the Ravens’ Lamar Jackson (5 TD passes). Falcons’ rookie QB Michael Penix Jr., isn’t any Lamar Jackson. Bijan will go off.
RB James Conner (at Panthers) — Carolina has given up virtually 1,000 yards of their final six video games, permitting 100 or extra yards to 5 totally different RBs. Conner makes six.
WR Mike Evans (at Cowboys) — Evans holds the NFL report for many consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to start out a profession with 10. He wants 251 yards over the past three video games to increase the streak. Guess who will get essentially the most passes Sunday night time in opposition to the Cowpokes?
WR Cooper Kupp (at Jets) — Kupp performed like a munchkin, giving his house owners a donut final week. However the healthiest a part of a donut is the center, and that’s the place I count on Kupp to behave like a Bavarian in opposition to the Jets. Let’s get glazy!
TE Brenton Unusual (at Raiders) — The second spherical pick of Penn State had 11 receptions final week in Doug Peterson’s TE-friendly offense. Let it trip.
WHOA DOWN!
QB Justin Herbert (vs. Broncos) — Herbert (ankle, test standing) has been a legal responsibility the final 4 weeks, averaging 15 Fantasy factors a recreation in that span. Finest to not begin him Thursday night time even when he decides to intestine it out and play.
QB Tua Tagovailoa (vs. 49ers) — Tua threw 40 occasions in a dropping effort in opposition to the inferior secondary of the Texans final week. I can not suggest sitting him extra strongly in opposition to the 49ers, who simply shut down the prolific air assault of the Rams.
RB Joe Mixon (at Chiefs) — Mighty Joe has been mighty good this yr. However he’s but to high 65 speeding yards in opposition to Okay.C. in three profession video games. Begin him however count on about 16 Fantasy factors.
RB Breece Corridor (vs. Rams) — One thing smells rotten within the Meadowlands, and it’s not simply the Jets’ report. Logging 9 carries in Jacksonville matches Corridor’s lowest output all yr. Hey Woody! If he’s that injured (knee, test standing), shut him down on this misplaced season.
WR Rashod Bateman (vs. Steelers) — Bateman was superior final week (3/80/2 TDs), however the Steelers have had his quantity, limiting him to 5 receptions of their final 4 matchups.
WR Jerry Jeudy (vs. Bengals) — QB Jameis Winston resurrected Jerry’s profession since Week 8 (50 receptions, 786 yards). However now Winston’s on the bench, changed by the erratic Dorian Thompson-Robinson. DTR averages 3.7 yards per try. No pleasure for Jeudy.
TE Hunter Henry (at Payments) — Buffalo held George Kittle and Travis Kelce to a mixed three catches for 15 yards earlier than hemorrhaging 111 yards to Sam LaPorta final week. Buffalo will stampede Hunter.
Thursday Night time Particular: Denver is on a four-game successful streak and is the higher staff proper now. The Chargers are reeling, dropping three of their final 4. Nix & Co. get revenge from their 23-16 Week 6 loss. Broncos 20, Chargers 14
