Week 15 Takeaways

Studs: Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, James Cook, Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffery, Deebo Samuel, Jahmyr Gibbs

Duds: Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson, Dak Prescott, Stefon Diggs, Najee Harris, Breece Hall, Saquan Barkley

Chargers vs. Raiders

• What a way to start the week! 84 points scored in a battle of back up QB’s, raise your hand if you saw that coming. Now put your hand down because we all know you’re lying.
• Is Austin Ekeler near the end or does he just need a change of scenery?
• Zamir White filled in admirably for the injured Josh Jacobs.

Vikings vs. Bengals

• And down goes Chase. Will the clock strike midnight on Jake Browning’s Cinderella story without his dynamic WR?
• Chase Brown is the future at RB in Cinci, I’m avoiding Mixon next year unless he’s moved.
• Ty Chandler had a strong game filling in for the injured Alexander Mattison.

Steelers vs. Colts

• The Mitchell Trubisky experience is over in Pittsburgh, how will Mason Rudolph fare? Not much better if you ask me, but at least his name is more festive.
• What will George Pickens’ value be next season? He burned me this year so I’m staying away.
• Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson stepped up big time for the injured Zack Moss.

Lions vs. Broncos

• Jahmyr Gibbs is electric. He reminds me of prime Kamara. Detroit’s offense is young and dangerous.
• Goff rebounded in a big way from last week with 5 touchdown passes.
• Jerry Jeudy and Javonte Williams have been major disappointments this year.

Bears vs. Browns

• Chicago’s backfield is a mess, avoid at all costs
• Njoku is one of the hottest players in the league right now.
• The Browns defense played great again and face a Texans team that may be without Stroud this week.

Buccaneers vs. Packers

• This will be a great trivia question, who is the only visiting QB to have a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field? Baker Mayfield!
• Mike Evans rebounded nicely and Godwin dominated.
• Jordan Love has what it takes to be a starter in the NFL.

Texans vs. Titans

• Derrick Henry laid an absolute egg in the fantasy playoffs. Will a change of scenery breath some life into him or is there just too much tread on the tires?
• Devin Singletary had 26 carries to Dameon Pierce’s 1. WYD DeMeco!?
• In the midst of a playoff push, the Texans offense has lost Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and C.J. Stroud. Ouch.

Dolphins vs. Jets

• Jaylen Waddle finally got to shine with Tyreek missing his first game this year.
• Zach Wilson got benched, again. Stay home Rodgers, it’s a mess.
• I still like Breece Hall’s talent. I’m thinking I can draft him at a discount next year.

Chiefs vs. Patriots

• Rashee Rice is officially a WR1.
• Patrick Mahomes threw for over 300 yards, it’s about time.
• Zappe was unable to build off his prime time win over the Steelers last week.

Giants vs. Saints

• Saquan Barkley might have very well lost you your playoff matchup.
• The Giants sure could use a dynamic receiver.
• No Chris Olave and Taysom Hill does nothing.

Falcons vs. Panthers

• Arthur Smith is the bane of my existence. #FREEBIJAN
• The Panthers really need to get Bryce some weapons.
• 16 total points. Who took the under?

Commanders vs. Rams

• Gunslinger Sam Howell got benched.
• Scary Terry lived up to his name with 141 and a TD.
• Kyren and Cooper got theirs again. Is Kyren a top 3 pick next year?

49ers vs. Cardinals

• Deebo Samuel is red hot.
• 3 more TD’s from CMC, talk about a league-winner.
• I’m targeting Trey McBride next year, he’s been so consistent.

Cowboys vs. Bills

• Well, looks like Dak’s MVP campaign is over. What an embarrassment for Dallas.
• James Cook’s huge day would not have been possible if the Bills didn’t fire Ken Dorsey.
• I think there’s beef between Josh and Diggs. I see a trade on the horizon.

Jaguars vs. Ravens

• It’s between Lamar and Purdy for MVP at this point. Lamar continued his impressive and consistent fantasy streak.
• Travis Etienne has really fallen off in the second half of the season.
• Isaiah Likely has filled in admirably for the injured Mark Andrews.

Eagles vs Seahawks

• Definitely not the flu game Philly was hoping for. 3 straight losses for the birds.
• Last second substitution Drew Lock led the Seahawks on a game-winning drive.
• Metcalf, Lockett, and JSN are the leagues best trio if you ask me.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Recap

Week 10 is in the books and playoffs are right around the corner. Hopefully by now your team has cemented its place atop your league, if not, don’t worry we’ve got you covered.

Rams Wide Receiver Robert Woods caught two more touchdowns and Adam Thielen had a monster game for the Vikings. The Saints rushing attack dominated the Bills and both Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara should be considered strong RB1’s going forward.

Pick-Up of the Week

• Jamaal Williams RB Green Bay Packers: Available in 53% of ESPN leagues. Williams ran for 67 yards on 20 carries after filling in for the injured Aaron Jones who looks to be out between 3 and 6 weeks. Ty Montgomery’s murky injury status coupled with the loss of Jones foreshadows volume carries for Williams

• Robert Woods WR Los Angeles Rams: Available in 25% of ESPN Leagues. If Woods is available in your league snatch him up quickly.  His 60 combined fantasy points over the last two weeks ranks tops in the league for receivers during that time. He has clearly become QB Jared Goff’s favorite target over Sammy Watkins and he should remain a focal point of the high-powered Rams offense for the rest of the season

Buy Low Target: LeSean McCoy RB Buffalo Bills

• The demotion of QB Tyrod Taylor will likely mean an emphasis on the run game to help alleviate some of the pressure on young backup Nate Peterman. McCoy is one of only five backs in the league to average at least 22 touches per game. Maybe some owners will be more likely to move him right now after hes only scored a combined 11 points over the past two weeks. McCoy also has a favorable schedule going forward. 7 of his remaining 10 games will be against top 10 favorable run defenses (LAC 3rd, KC 27th, NE 6th, IND 7th, MIA 10th, NE 6th)

Sell High Target: T.Y. Hilton WR Indianapolis Colts

• Hilton is only two weeks removed from his monster 175 yards 2 touchdown performance against the Houston Texans. However, the speedy wide receiver has scored under 10 points in 7 of 10 games so far this season. The loss of QB Andrew Luck for the season really hurts Hilton owners
