QB
1) Drew Brees
NO@IND
$7000
Four of five starts for Brees this season have gone for over 300 yards. Should be able to add the touchdowns in a shootout with the Colts.
2) Philip Rivers
OAK@SD
$6500
Second highest point per game Quaterback still coming in at only $6500. Threw 65 times last week. That’s fantasy friendly!
3) Ryan Fitzpatrick
NYJ@NE
$5200
Has the weapons to score points against a bad NE secondary. If you want to take a chance, you could do worse that Shitzpatrick.
RB
1) Latavius Murray
OAK@SD
$6300
Chargers are good against the pass and bad at stopping running backs. Just ask James Starks.
2) Todd Gurley
CLE@STL
$5000
I think this could be the perfect storm for a fantasy explosion.
3) Frank Gore
NO@IND
$4900
Pretty sure Gore has never been called handsome. Same can’t be said about his matchup this week, when the aint’s defense rolls into town
WR
1) John Brown
BAL@ARI
$5500
Saw 14 targets last week and while I normally wouldn’t use someone off a huge game, Baltimore’s secondary is abysmal.
2) Allen Hurns
BUF@JAX
$5300
Bortles, my sleeper of the year, continues to put up huge numbers. Number two receivers are the ones receiving those stats against the Bills. It’s Hurns’ turn.
3) Pierre Garcon
TB@WAS
$5000
It’ll probably feel nice for Garcon this week getting Tampa after being smothered by Revis and Cromartie. Like running on one of those walking things at the airport.
TE
1) Antonio Gates
OAK@SD
$5000
Every week.
2) Gary Barnidge
CLE@STL
$4900
Barnidge is a weekly steed. Cherish him.
3) Julius Thomas
BUF@JAX
$4500
13 targets last week in his first game after shaking off the rust. Bortles has weapons so the targets open eyes.
D
1) Panthers
PHI@CAR
$3100
I’ll admit when I’m wrong and I was wrong about Bradford. He eats it. Carolina should feast on his scared, heartless mistakes.
2) Dolphins
HOU@MIA
$2700
Dolphins were too talented to be held down by bad coaching. The hardo new coach shook some life into them.
3) Rams
CLE@STL
$2400
Playing much better lately, get the Browns off a bye.
Mike’s Week 6 team:
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
