Week 15
QB’s
Matt Ryan 8500 vs 49ers: 22 FDP’s per game for this potential MVP candidate is enough for me to start him. Throw in the fact that he is playing a 1-12 team that is coming across the country to play makes Ryan a no brainer.
Aaron Rodgers 8500 @ Bears: Rodgers and the Packers might be peaking at the right time and I want to be sure to be a part of that. I like him for 20+ FDP’s this week.
Derek Carr 7900 @ Chargers: With 10 days to sit and think about their prime time loss to KC, I think Carr is ready for a big week. The Raiders are playing for very important seeding in the AFC playoff picture, my bet is that they will come ready to pay.
RB’s
David Johnson 9800 vs Saints: Expensive but worth it. Johnson is a beast. The Cardinals and Saints are both basically playing out the string but I think Johnson could put up some big numbers: Keep in mind, Johnson has more receiving yards this year than Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant and DeAndre Hopkins
Le'Veon Bell 9400 @ Bengals: Again, expensive but worth it. Bell put up insane numbers last week. I do not think he will match the amazing 49.8 FDP’s from last week but I do think he could put up around 25 in this heated rivalry game.
DeMarco Murray 7400 @ Chiefs: The Titans have what might be the best running game in the NFL all things considered. Murray is the focal point and will continue to be this week. I look for 20+ FDP’s this week against a shaky run defense.
Isaiah Crowell 5500 @ Bills: The Bills have had a tough time stopping the run and Crowell has put up some decent numbers in recent weeks. I think this is a winnable game for the Browns and I think Crowell would be the key in the Browns potential 1st win of the season.
WR’s
Jordy Nelson 7700 @ Bears: Jordy has been a hot hand averaging 20+ FDP’s over the last 2 games. I think he can play to his average this week making him great value at 7700.
Amari Cooper 7400 vs Chargers: Cooper has had an up and down fantasy year. He was very hot early but has been hit or miss the rest of the season. I like him to put up a solid 15-20 FDP’s this week.
Stefon Diggs 6300 @ Colts: Diggs has been fighting some nagging injuries this year and has been over shadowed by Adam Thielen. I think he can get healthy against the Colts this week, I just wish it was someone other than Sam Bradford throwing him the ball.
Taylor Gabriel 5800 vs 49ers: I love the way the Falcons have used his speed both as a WR and on some running plays. I think he should see a pretty good amount of touches this week against the 49ers and he is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.
TE’s
Travis Kelce 6900 vs Titans: Kelce has basically been a WR1 this year and I think he will see the majority of the targets in the KC passing game. The Titans are ranked 31 against the pass.. I like those odds.
Martellus Bennett 5500 vs Broncos: This will be a very under the radar play going up against the “No fly zone” defense of the Broncos. I just feel Brady will find creative ways to get him the ball especially in the red zone.
Stack #1
Matt Ryan 8500 with Taylor Gabriel 5800 and Matt Bryant 5100 vs 49ers: This stack has some decent potential. Gabriel should see an increase in targets with Jones out. The 49ers traveling across the country at 1-12 could mean really big things for this trio.
Stack #2
Derek Carr 7900 with Latavius Murray 6800 and Amari Cooper 7400 @ Chargers: I like this to be a high scoring game and I think the Raiders come out on top.
