Quarterback


Geno Smith: If you have been alternating QBs this year and Smith is one of your guys then this is a great week to start him. The Seahawks are playing a Raiders team at home that is giving up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing QBs this season. My only concern is the Seahawks go up big and start relying on the running game. Here is hoping for a shootout at Lumen Field.


Derek Carr: Again I am calling for a shootout in Seattle this Sunday, so Carr is a starter. Hopefully he finds All-World Wide Receiver Davante Adams all day long.


Taylor Heinicke: The Commanders are staying with Taylor and so should you! Heinicke was up against some of the best defenses in the league the last two weeks, but this week he gets a great matchup in the Falcons. Opposing QBs have had some stellar stats against the Falcons this season.


Running Back


Dameon Pierce: This is the only offensive player you want this week on the Texans. Miami is strong against the run, but Pierce has had some good games against formidable run defenses.


Jamaal Williams: Detroit will get behind early to Buffalo and be forced to throw a lot in order to keep up. What is something Williams does well? Catch the ball out of the backfield.


Tony Pollard: The Giants defense is strong against passing attacks and weak against the run. In an attempt to control the clock the Cowboys will feed Pollard the rock.


Wide Receiver


Amon-Ra St. Brown: Detroit falls behind early. Garbage time yards and TDs for St. Brown.


Terry McLaurin: Mac is back this week against a soft Falcons secondary. WR1 numbers. I guarantee.


Allen Robinson II: With the possibility that QB Bryce Perkins makes his first NFL start then surely he will target the most talented wide out on the team. Especially when they quickly fall behind the Chiefs.


Tight End

Tyler Higbee: See Allen Robinson ll.


Greg Dulcich: The Panthers defense has been tough against TE production this year. This should be a competitive game and hopefully QB Russell Wilson finds Dulcich in the endzone this week.


Cole Kmet: He gets back into the endzone against a tough Jets defense.


Defense


Denver: A tasty match up against a Panthers team that is turning to a 3rd starting QB in Sam Darnold. Should be lots of fun for the Denver defense.


Washington: Depending on which QB Mariota shows up, this could be a great game for the Commanders. Falcons are usually friendly to opposing defenses.


San Francisco: 49ers go up big early and the Saints turn to QB Jameis Winston as an offensive spark. He likes to throw picks.
