QB
1. BLAKE BORTLES SD@JAX $5900 This one has the looks of a potential shootout.
2. BRIAN HOYER NO@Hou $5000 Sticking with my season long commitment to giving anyone a chance against NO. Hopefully they didn’t get better without Rob Ryan.
3. JOSH MCCOWN Bal@Cle $5000 Averaging 19.6 points a game, this is a nice price for MCown. But considering he threw for 400+ yards against them earlier in the season, it’s now a great price.
RB
1. Chris Ivory Mia@NYJ $5800 Playing a bad division rival at home, this one has the looks of a really boring, pound it at them game. Ivory benefits.
2. Chris Johnson Ari@SF $4600 This will end up being the steal of the week. Coming off two bad games against great run defenses, Johnson gets a cream puff. This price can’t be beat.
3. Javorious Allen Bal@Cle $4600 After Forsett went down, Allen got 27 touches. Now without Flacco, he could easily see that and more with a great matchup.
WR
1. DeAndre Hopkins NO@Hou $9100 Value pick considering what he’ll score.
2. DeSean Jackson Was@NYG $5100 Jay Gruden said he wants more touches, for Desean, which means more big plays against a bad NYG defense. I love this pick this week.
3. JJ Nelson (Ari) Ari@SF $3000 Regardless if Floyd plays or not, he’ll get garbage time after last week’s performance.
TE
1. Jordan Reed Was@NYG $5100 Good Tight End in a great matchup. Looks too easy.
2.. Ben Watson NO@Hou $4000 You could honestly play everyone in this game and feel good about it.
3. Heath Miller PIT@Sea $3100 Whenever Big Ben plays, Heath produces. Seattle bad against the TE, so he’s gonna produce.
D/St
1. Bengals Stl @Cin $3000 Foles is playing, so you know, play Cincy D.
2. Chiefs Buf@Kc $2800 KC defense is on fire lately, and a home game against EJ Manuel looks too nice too pass on
3. Jaguars SD@Jax $2600 Rivers has been a turnover machine all season. He’s basically lost all his top targets, and history says he stinks on the east coast. Use Jax!
