Every week Fantasy Factor (
www.fantasyfactor.com) provides some tasty morsels on each game to help you with your daily lineups.
Enjoy:
Buccaneers @ Saints
Winston looks like he will start for Tampa but he still has a bum shoulder which is bad for their receivers. Maybe theyll try and protect him with Doug Martin whos only $4300 at fantasyfactor.com. Drew Brees is only $5500 against a below average pass defense, and the Saints are a touchdown plus home favorite.
Ravens @ Titans
Avoid players on both sides of the ball, except for maybe Alex Collins who had a bit of a coming out party last week on national TV. Flacco looks like hes playing but his receiving corps is injured across the board.
Rams @ Giants
Jared Goff could have a big game against a Giant secondary that just suspended their best corner, Janoris Jenkins. The Giants offense will try to stay on the field running the ball with Orleans Darkwa and throwing to their healthy version of Jordan Reed: Evan Engram.
Broncos @ Eagles
So Brock Osweiler returns to start for the team that first kicked him to the curb. One thing is for sure he likes throwing to Demaryius Thomas. Its still hard to run or throw to wide receivers against Denvers defense, but they dont mind so much if you pepper your tight end. This could mean another week of heavy action for Zach Ertz, the leagues best tight end so far this year.
Falcons @ Panthers
Not sure if you can trust Altantas big three, Julio Jones, Devonta Freeman, Matt Ryan right now, especially on the road against a rival that knows them. Whos going to be Cams go to guy now that the Panthers have traded Kelvin Benjamin?
Bengals @ Shaguars
Bengals are a 4.5 point underdog to Jacksonville, which should tell you something of how far the Jaguars have come this season. If you look at Andy Daltons predicted point total for this week on season long sites like CBS or Yahoo, its scary low. That doesnt bode well for any other Cincinnati players either. Leonard Fournette is back after a two week hiatus, and hell be the Jags game plan.
Colts @Texans
Despite the fact that Houston has lost Deshaun Watson, who turned around their offense, and their two top defensive players, Indianapolis is still a 7 point underdog. So without Watsons running and passing to sustain drives, guys like TE Jack Doyle, WR T.Y. Hilton and RB Marlon Mack could see a few more possessions given over as a result. Colts defense is not good, but the loss of Watson makes all Texans skill players suspect.
Cardinals @ 49ers
As Tom Savage is a destructive force to Houstons offense, Drew Stanton will be to Arizonas. This reality, might be an opportunity to use San Frans defense as a sneaky pick. On the other hand Arizonas defense could be used as well. The only problem is that they are on the road. The combination of C.J. Beathard starting at QB and Pierre Garcons season ending neck injury, stifles all other 49er offensive players.
Redskins @ Seahawks
Washington is an 8 point underdog to Seattle which shows you just how banged up the Skins o-line is. Cousins just wont have the time to throw. Expect a continued stream of targets to Chris Thompson and Vernon Davis wholl be subbing for Jordan Reed. Russel Wilson has been consistently good and hell be spreading it around to anyone not blanketed by Josh Norman.
Chiefs @ Cowboys
With an over under of 51, the sportsbooks expect a lot of scoring. So feel free to stack Alex Smith with Kareem Hunt and/or Travis Kelce or Dak Prescot with Ezekiel Elliot and Dez Bryant.
Raiders @ Dolphins
Raiders are a pass first team, and the Dolphins are vulnerable through the air. This looks like a good day for Derek Carr, who can be had for the bargain price of just $6100 at the factor. Its tough to choose between Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, so why not take both. On the Dolphins side of things Jay Cutler returns to check down to Jarvis Landry.
Lions @ Packers
Lions have finally reemerged as the passing team theyve always been during the Stafford regime, as the signal caller has thrown for 300 yards in back to back games. He tends to play well against Green Bay. As for the Packers, the fact that they are 2.5 point dogs shows you what the betting experts think of Brett Hundley. They will run the offense through Aaron Jones whose talent and opportunity is compromised by the presence of Ty Montgomery.
