Well, that was… something.  Not a really exciting day, right? We waited months and months for three players to go over 100 yards receiving today and only two rushers to go over 100 yards as well.  We had a game in Green Bay where there should have been 800 points scored but neither team could get to 20.

Welcome to my weekly recap of the action we saw on Sunday.  So, I physically can’t watch every play of all 12 or 13 games that go on during the afternoon, but I do watch about 6.5 hours of Redzone every Sunday, so you could say that me and Andrew Siciliano are kind of a thing.  I’ll let you know how I interpret things that I see watching live and what I see in the box score.  I’m not going to bore you with paragraphs upon paragraphs on each game but, I assure you that you will know the trends that you need to know to make decisions for your lineup the next coming week.  Let’s start with the most exciting game from a fantasy stand point…

Arizona Cardinals @ Detroit Lions

My tallest and most talented son, Kenny Golladay had quite the coming out party in week one, leading me to run up and down my hallway yelling twice.  I’m sure my wife loved it and found it very attractive.  Golladay was 2nd on the team in targets with 7, so it’s obvious Stafford is looking in his direction.  Golden Tate continues to be a PPR-monster and went for over 100 yards.  Just as our own Rudy Gamble predicted with his amazing tools, Matthew Stafford had a huge day and paid dividends for those with the cojones to start him. Stafford is a top 10 quarterback this year, he has the weapons on the offense to do it, trust us.

Let’s not freak out about David Johnson’s performance. Detroit has an underrated front seven, including swarm tacklers such as Tahir Whitehead and Jarrad Davis. In an uncharacteristically slow game, Johnson still managed over 90 all-purpose yards. Whether you subscribe to the 370 rule or not, even if Johnson doesn’t have the season that he had in 2016, it’s going to be damn close. Carson Palmer is a different story, he looked awful.  He looked slower than slow and threw really bad and confusing interceptions. John Brown did jack shit on 9 targets and JJ Nelson, (who I think is the 2nd best receiver after the way he closed out last year) turned his 6 targets into 5 catches for 43 yards.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins

Rob Kelley isn’t very good, there’s a shocker for you.  The running back to own here is Chris Thompson, not Samaje Perrine.  Thompson made a nice YAC play on a short pass from Cousins and turned it into a touchdown. By the way, that was Cousin’s only touchdown of the day, ugh. Pryor had a horrible drop on a wide-open end zone play. It would have been called back because of a penalty anyways, but people don’t forget, Terrelle! Other than that, Pryor had a productive day turning his 11 targets into 6 catches for 66 yards.

Carson Wentz had a nice day, he made some really good throws. I’d feel pretty comfortable starting him going forward in deep leagues or if your QB1 has a bad matchup. I want to see more than one big game from Nelson Agholor before I actually care. I’d pick him up off of the waiver wire, but I’m not in any rush to start him until I see these games more often. Today was a quiet day for Alshon Jeffery, but he saw 7 targets, so don’t worry.  Legarrette Blount is clearly the lead back in Philly, and oops, he accidentally found the end zone again.

Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears

Matt Ryan looked good, which is reassuring now that he no longer has his magical offensive coordinator. Freeman found the end zone which saved an otherwise bland day in the Falcon’s running game. Mohammed Sanu saw a lot of targets, but I still don’t want anything to do with him. I wanted to see how Hooper was used and he’s a sell high for me after Sunday.  He only saw two targets and he made the most of them. He found himself wide open and capitalized twice.

I don’t think Tarik Cohen isn’t going to take Jordan Howard’s job, so relax. He did have a good coming out party, including a nice 46-yard run. Chicago obviously doesn’t want to run Jordan Howard into the ground so they have to be more than thrilled to have an effective back that he can split some carries with. Kevin White might be done for the year, so I want nothing to do with that passing game.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills

Worst. Game. Ever. I hope these tickets were free. Lesean McCoy looked good, though! Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones combined for seven targets, leaving Charles Clay as the only worthwhile receiver of the day. Good call, Zach! Powell and Forte both stunk but Powell will eventually pull away and get the lion’s share of carries.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals

BUY LOW ON JOE MIXON! Mixon lead the team in carries and don’t let the yardage total fool you, he’s still going to be good. Baltimore has a great defense. A.J. Green still had a pretty nice day, but Dalton looked lost in the sauce. We saw on the first possession what the Raven’s offense wanted to be. They were creative in lining up Woodhead in different ways to have him heavily involved. ……AAAAND it’s gone. Woodhead will be back, but they may pump the brakes on his usage to keep him healthy. Terrance West and Buck Allen combined for 40 carries and were both effective. Terrance West should remain the lead back but both are useful while Woodhead is absent.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns

Antonio Brown remains not human. Water remains wet. Martavis Bryant saw 6 targets and while it was a slow game for him, I’m still starting him and buying low where I can. I’m very surprised that the running game wasn’t more effective for both teams. Isaiah Crowell saw 17 carries and going forward he is going to bust big runs on a regular basis. Keep him in your starting line-up. I’m surprised Kenny Britt didn’t see more action today. While he’s not a drop candidate for me, if Corey Coleman keeps Deshone Kizer’s favor that’s not a great thing for Britt.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans

Unfortunately, Allen Robinson is done for the year with a torn ACL. Marquis Lee and Allen Hurns are both sure to see an uptick in targets. I haven’t been a big Fournette guy all preseason and today didn’t change my mind at all. He struggled to punch the ball in from the 1-yard line at one point, and he averaged under 4 yards per carry on 26 carries. But with Robinson hurt, what else does this offense have?

DeAndre Hopkins had a good day and that was great to see considering who he was lining up against all day. I was pleasantly surprised. Bouye also had a couple of PI calls against Hopkins which just goes to show that he was really struggling with him. The entrance of DeShaun Watson into this offense makes me like it a lot more going forward despite the ugly result on Sunday.

Carolina Panthers @ San Francisco 49ers

Ron Rivera wasn’t lying, he is building this offense around Christian McCaffery. McCaffery had 18 touches and led the team in receiving targets and had a decent PPR day, despite not finding the end zone. Jonathan Stewart is still a part of the offense as expected. Cam Newton looked bad and that’s not a good thing going forward for Greg Olsen and Kelvin Benjamin. Pierre Garcon saw 10 targets and looked like he’s going to live up to the hype. Although the counting stats weren’t exactly there, Carlos Hyde looked good running the ball and he looked fine in the passing offense as well.

Indianapolis Colts @ Los Angeles Rams

Todd Gurley found the end zone, but 40 yards on 19 carries is quite concerning considering the defense that he lined up against. I’m happy to have zero shares of him. Sammy Watkins caught all five of his targets which is good, but Cooper Kupp stole the show with the touchdown. They are both decent options going forward if Jared Goff is even 75% of what he was today, going forward. Marlon Mack is becoming a big part of the Colt’s offense a little sooner than we thought. Although the production wasn’t great considering he wrongly not given a receiving touchdown on a first quarter play, I’m excited going forward. T.Y. Hilton on the other hand, yikes, I can’t wait to see Andrew Luck back.

Seattle Seahawks @ Green Bay Packers

Welcome back, Randall Cobb! Rodgers decided it was his real life buddy’s time to shine against a tough Seahawks defense. Jordy Nelson still has the best fantasy day though because he found the endzone. I’m not worried about Davante Adams going forward, he was matched up against Richard Sherman and still found a way to keep himself in the game. Ty Montgomery can’t possibly keep this starting job for the season? CAN HE?! Please no.

Chris Carson is the best back on the Seahawks. When Thomas Rawls is healthy, Eddie Lacy won’t be useful and I suspect that he’ll be cut before October gets here. Despite not moving the ball in Lambeau, both Doug Baldwin and Paul Richardson looked productive.

Not freaking out about Johnson’s performance but am freaking out about his injury. In other news my opponent had the freaking rams d in our home league so I kinda need a miracle. Chances Cook can put up 20 in a ppr tonight? This crap is why I argue so hard for idp.

@Unbreakable_MB: MY RB’s are Gordon, Mixon, West, Thompson, Vereen. Not a strong group, but this PPR league allows me to start 6 WR’s (Green, D. Thomas, Hilton, Tate, Garcon, Coleman), so I load up there and skimp on RB.
I still think I’ll hold onto Tate. He’s a PPR beast. Cutler seems to prefer Parker to Landry, so I worry about that Landry’s targets will be down from past years.

I am debating how to prioritize my waiver claims this week:
The 2 players on the chopping block are – Jamaal Williams and George Kittle – both are insurance policies because I own Ty Montgomery and Antonio Gates

Do I try to drop both of these guys for Tarik Cohen and Buck Allen and how would you order them?

Here is the team (.5 PPR 1 point per 20 ret yards)
QB – Philip Rivers
RB – Ty Montgomery, Devonta Freeman
WR – Martavis Bryant, DeVante Parker, Amari Cooper
TE – Antonio Gates
FLEX – Jamison Crowder
K – Koo
DEF – LA Rams

QB – Carson Palmer
RB – Danny Woodhead (!!!), Jamaal Williams, Jacquizz Rodgers
TE – George Kittle

Big decision for tonight. Up 73.5 – 66.1. Other team has Brees, Hunter Henry, an Emmanuel sanders to play, I have Vikings D, Younghoe Koo (sickest fantasy name ever), and either Keenan Allen or Ted Ginn in a PPR.

I know, not looking good but I ain’t dead yet. A few variables at play here and I don’t know which way to lean between Allen and Ginn.
-Ginn would obviously limit the damage done by Brees IF he has a good game.
-Denver D is obviously big but they havent seen much of Allen given his injuries
-It’s PPR and Ginn is a classic boom or bust where Allen is a reception whore
-Flipside of limiting Brees’ damage, if he has a bad game that probably means Ginn doesnt do ish.

PS – Thanks a lot, Andy Dalton.

No Q/A from me. Just sittin’ on the front porch shootin’ the spittin’ seeds with ya. Nice write up.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Golladay starts getting more looks. 40 pass attempts won’t be an outlier for the Lions. It’s what they do.

Jesse James is big (6’7″ 260+). Ben’s good about feeding the right match up at the right time. He’s playing with a chip on his shoulder (Tomlin said the TE’s “weren’t varsity enough” when the Steelers traded to get another TE Vance McDonald). Just think James will be one of those under radar types in the first half of the season, until opposing D’s figure out a way to cover all the weapons… Cover 2 may prevent the deep pass, but that just plays into the strength of James’ game in the red zone.

I like the Eagles offense this year. Wentz seems like a top half type QB, and he has some solid weapons at every level this year.

Terrance Williams. Dallas and Williams check all the boxes except the offense may not open up enough the feed them all… Great WR 3/4 imo.

RB1: DJ
RB2: Gordon

WR1: martavis Bryant
WR2: Marshall
WR3: hogan

My 3 starting WRs got 5 combined friggin points

TE: Henry

Flex: disappointment day from mcaffery

D: Bills

Kicker open

Defensive player open

I’m currently down 77-57, I’m not filling in my idp or kicker due to the 20 points will be a blow out by the 10:20 late game chargers vs Broncos. He still has Brees, Ingram, Rudolph & theilen.

— if & biiiig If I’m still close & close I mean 20-30 pts I’ll consider adding a kicker & idp for that late late game

As of now I’ll be #1 in the waiver order who should be my top priority? Tarik Cohen or kerwynn Williams? I was leaning lil to kerwynn just because I own DJ.

— next priority? Golladay? Agholor? Buck Allen? Kupp? JJ Nelson?

— to get Cohen or kerwynn im dropping Carson Palmer since I have Winston

Then next priority I’m dropping Jamaal Williams

My RBs are DJ, Gordon, mcaffery, hunt, Smallwood, Abdullah & Jamaal Williams

My WRs are Alshon, martavis Bryant, Marshall, maclin, hogan & snead

Trade Q:

– a league mate of mine has Russell Wilson who did bad week 1, he lost a rob & his Hilton struggled.

– send him my Winston + d Parker for : Dalvin cook + Travis kelce ?

— here’s his team:

QB Wilson

RB1 Crowell
RB2: cook

WR1: Antonio brown
WR2: Hilton
WR3: a rob

TE: kelce

Flex: CJ Anderson

Bench: eifert, Graham, John brown , Tevin Coleman, Derrick Henry, cj prosise, perine, lockett.

I don’t need the trade, maybe I can buy low on a player if he’s panicking after some players struggling & losing a rob.

Still think dropping Breida for Golladay is the move? or should I drop him for a RB? K. Williams, Kamara, Tolbert, Buck Allen, Ellington, Chris Thompson are all available.

Or do you really think Golladay is the pick because he can return big value at Flex and I can get by with Cook and Gore/Mack until DJ gets back or a better RB talent pops up?

Thanks, sorry for all the questions, this DJ injury has messed up my plan obviously..

thanks

@The Fantasy Dick: all good man, I would personally still do Golladay and see if you can grab Kamara too. I think Woodhead will be back sooner than later so Buck would have to phase T. West out. I don’t think Kerwynn is good enough to surpass RBBC

Had first pick in two of my three leagues. Took DJ and Le’veon for this very reason.

sentences like this don’t make anybody relax though, whether cohen or howard owners,

“I don’t think Tarik Cohen isn’t going to take Jordan Howard’s job, so relax.”
