Le’veon bell’s Backup looking better then expected.
September 12, 2018
So many unexpected things in week starting off with a huge Back up QB Ryan Fitzpatrick having a huge game with 417 yards with 4 TD’s, a shut out on the bills by the ravens, Tyreek Hill snagging 2 TD’s and a punt return for a 91 yard touchdown, and Le’Veon Bell sitting out due too no contract signing going his way.
Quarterback
Philip Rivers: The L.A. Chargers face the leads worst offensive from week and the Bills were shut out last week with the starting QB having 74 yards and the starting running back having 22 yards, it would be crazy not to pick him.
Drew Brees: Drew had over 400 yards last week and 3 TD’s, now the browns defense looks pretty good last week holding down a playoff team but the Steelers didn’t have there starting running back which was the #2 running back last year and the saints have there guys so there luck should be better than the Steelers.
Patrick Mahomes: I’m hoping this game becomes a shootout and that Roethlisberger and Mahomes go back and forth in putting up plenty of points. Mahomes had a solid first game in Week 1 at the Chargers with 256 passing yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, as well as 21 rushing yards, and he did that with Kareem Hunt, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins all having mediocre performances. When those guys start playing at a high level along with Tyreek Hill, this offense should be fun to watch, with Mahomes leading the way. Given the potential of this high-scoring affair, consider Mahomes a low-end starting option this week.
Running Backs
Adrian Peterson: they are playing a very bad defense, the Redskins are still working things out for the QB spot so we can assume rushing with finish the game when they need too. Adrian caught 2 balls for 70 yards and receiving is something that wasn’t so good in the past for Peterson.
James Conner: I’m taking the free space here by saying to start him because who knows how much longer this will last. We should see Le’Veon Bell back before the end of the month, according to various reports, but until then it will be the Conner show. And he was awesome in Week 1 at Cleveland with 31 carries for 135 yards (4.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns and five catches for 57 yards. He gets to face a Chiefs defense that just allowed 104 rushing yards and 14 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown to the Chargers running backs. Conner is a top three running back in Week 2.
Jay Ajayi: Ajayi was impressive in Week 1 against Atlanta with 15 carries for 62 yards and two touchdowns, and he should build off that performance this week. It would be nice if he was more involved in the passing game, but coach Doug Pederson already said Ajayi would handle more touches in future outings. He’ll continue to rotate with Corey Clement and Darren Sproles, with the latter the primary option on passing downs
Wide Receivers-
Odell Beckham JR: This man is facing a average secondary odell is not a average player. Odell tries to make a statement every time they play the cowboys.
Antonio Brown: The chiefs defense but the secondary is not bad but if anybody is getting the ball against that secondary Antonio would be the way to go.
Josh Gordon: Gordon made his one catch count in Week 1 against Pittsburgh when he scored on a 17-yard reception, which sent the game into overtime. He only had three targets in the game, but he played 69 of 89 offensive snaps. He’s ready for more work, and look for the Browns to give him a hefty amount of targets in what should be a high-scoring affair. Jarvis Landry remains the No. 1 Browns receiver for now, but Gordon could have a huge game against a New Orleans secondary that just allowed four touchdowns to Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Chris Godwin. I’m going all in with Gordon as a must-start Fantasy receiver this week.
Tightends
Jimmy Graham: he didn’t do too much last week but QB Arron Rodgers was out for half of the game so we came expect more from him.
Travis Kelce: did good last week but didn’t do too much because of teammates Tyreek big game, this game could depend on Travis more this time.
Rob Gronk: faces a very good secondary actually the best secondary in football but Rob is the best tightend in football with the best QB in history (Tom Brady) so you can never count him out.
Defense-
The La Chargers: Yes this team was ranked #15 on defense last year but this buffalo offensive was ranked #29 that 3 away from the worst in the whole league. This year for week 2 they are ranked last (32) on defense. Quarterbacks leads team but right now they have a serious quarterback situation and a bad QB means a good day for the defensive.
The Patriots: there defense performed well in Week 1 (three sacks, two takeaways), and a Blake Bortles-led offense is always unpredictable. If Leonard Fournette (hamstring) misses this game, Bortles will have more pressure to make plays. That will play to the Patriots’ strengths, and it could be a long day for the Jags.
Jaguars: this would be my 3rd option. It’s hard to bet against a goat but this is the best secondary in the league and with so many new roster changes of big names we can’t say the patriots will play good.
Sleeper: Tom Brady, this guy is the goat he should not be a sleeper but the jaguars have the best secondary in the league right now, so if there is not idea at quarterback I would never bet against “The Goat”
Tyreek hill: has a amazing week 1 game with 2 TD’s and over 160 yards plus a 91 yard punt return, you got to test him if u have nobody.
