We’ve got a brand new man in our league named Matt. He changed a long-standing member who misplaced his ardour for Fantasy Soccer. In a league as aggressive because the OFFL, now 40-years robust, there’s at all times a studying curve. We’re professionals, in spite of everything. Personally, I used to be glad this new meat was positioned in my division. Straightforward victories, you understand. However Matt and his group Turnover on Derms have made a mockery of the outdated guard. He’s the one undefeated group. He’s made no trades and only a few waiver pickups. And now he has the posh of beginning Cam Skattebo each week. Instantly I really feel like I’m Charlie Brown and Matt is Lucy, yanking the soccer away as I run as much as kick it. Aaugh!
GIDDY UP!
QB Dak Prescott vs. Commanders — Dak is enjoying lights out. He’s third in fantasy QB scoring. Lacking CeeDee Lamb hurts, nevertheless it shouldn’t matter this week. The Commanders have given up boatloads of factors to lesser QBs Geno Smith and Michael Penix Jr. It’s Dak’s flip subsequent.
QB Jalen Hurts at Vikings — Don’t be the group that benches Hurts. Sure, the Vikings boast the No. 3 move protection. Sure, the optics have been ghastly within the Eagles’ shocking loss to the Giants. However Hurts nonetheless averages over 21 factors per recreation. Giddy up!
RB Josh Jacobs at Cardinals — The Packers favor letting Jacobs cram the ball down opponent’s throats than having Jordan Love air it out, and Jacobs is more than pleased to oblige. He’ll get his first 100-yard speeding day of the season within the desert.
RB Jacory “Bill” Croskey-Merritt vs. Cowboys — Memo to Kliff Kingsbury at Commanders HQ: Roll the Panthers-Cowboys tape. Watch Rico Dowdle (183 speeding yards). Run Rico, run. Now see Invoice. Give Invoice the ball. Let Invoice run. Run Invoice, run.
WR D.Okay. Metcalf vs. Bengals — Aaron Rodgers has discovered his Pittsburgh Davante Adams in Metcalf. Boasting double-digit scores in each recreation, Metcalf will excel in opposition to the declawed Bengals. Let’s hope Joe Flacco can preserve the sport aggressive so the Steelers don’t take their foot of the gasoline.
WR Nico Collins at Seahawks — Contemporary off a bye, letting his sore knee heal, Collins shall be able to rock. Seattle is a tricky project for any WR, however Collins is taken into account the most effective in fantasy. He must step up on this spot.
TE Harold Fannin Jr. vs. Dolphins — Fellow TE David Njoku is most probably out subsequent week and will presumably be traded. Go after Fannin as he has probably the most favorable schedule of any TE from now into November.
WHOA DOWN!
QB Jaxson Dart at Broncos — That is Dart’s hardest check to this point: on the highway in opposition to the second-best move protection within the NFL. Denver simply held the Jets to minus 10 yards web passing. Denver leads the league with 30 sacks and solely Jalen Hurts has thrown a couple of TD in opposition to the Broncos in six video games. Dart might want to use his legs on this one and preserve his head on a swivel.
QB J.J. McCarthy or Carson Wentz vs. Eagles — Each QBs are coping with accidents which is purpose sufficient to keep away from the Vikings QBs. However the Eagles have confronted fantasy’s greatest QBs (Dak, Mahomes, Stafford, Baker) and stored all of them in examine. The Eagles will depart J.J. or Carson in a purple haze.
RB Tony Pollard vs. Patriots — Tony isn’t any tiger this week. He’s ice-cold and now splitting carries with Tyjae Spears. That’s a nasty combo heading right into a matchup in opposition to a Pats D permitting simply 3.13 YPC and three speeding TDs all yr.
RB Rachaad White at Lions — Loss of life, taxes and you may’t run on the Lions. Detroit has feasted on Derrick Henry (9 fantasy factors), Josh Jacobs (12), D’Andre Swift (10) and Isiah Pacheco (5). You’re braver than I’m if you happen to begin White.
WR Hollywood Brown vs. Raiders — The competitors for targets on the Chiefs will get stiffer as Rashee Rice makes his long-awaited return from suspension. Say goodbye to Hollywood.
WR Malik Washington at Browns — Though persistently concerned within the offense, Malik’s play-making potential has been sub-par with simply 35 yards in his final three video games. Tyreek Hill’s heir-apparent has been a speedy bust.
TE Evan Engram vs. Giants — Engram doesn’t strike me as a “revenge game” form of man. Taken by the Giants in 2017 with the twenty third total choose, he loved some very strong years in New York. However the Broncos are his third group since then, and he’s presently TE26.
Thursday Evening Particular: This had “Game of the Week” vibes when the NFL schedule got here out. Now, it seems prefer it might be the bottom rated TNF recreation this yr. Flacco shall be pressured to throw a ton, however Rodgers and firm win this recreation of the weak. Steelers 24, Bengals 17
