QB
1) Andy Dalton
KC@CIN
$5900
Big red Andy Reid and his Chiefs’ league-worst secondary come to town, just as the other big red is throwing fire.
2) Tyrod Taylor
NYG@BUF
$5800
Giants have given up the league’s most pass yards through three games. This price tag is too hard to pass on given his 23 point weekly average.
3) Derek Carr
OAK@CHI
$5300
After getting hurt to start the season, Carr has been on fire. Now he gets the Bears who have already given up eight TD passes through three games.
RB
1) Melvin Gordon
CLE@SD
$4900
Melvin Gordon says he’s really hungry for his first TD. He’ll probably be stuffed after a matchup with the Browns, who let Dexter McCluster run for 98 yards in Week 2. DEXTER MCCLUSTER?
2) Frank Gore
JAX@IND
$4700
Now Andrew Luck is questionable with a bad throwing shoulder. Last week the Colts realized Frank Gore was on the team. They rode him and won, so will you.
3) Karlos Williams
NYG@BUF
$3400
LeSean McCoy will continue to use his hamstring as an excuse as to why Karlos Williams is outplaying him. McCoy will probably rest, so look for Karlos Williams to take the extra work and trample over the Giants.
WR
1) Amari Cooper
OAK@CHI
$6300
Cooper has averaged 25 points/game after Week 1, in which Derek Carr left injured. Next, the lowly Bears.
2) James Jones
GB@SF
$5300
Davante Adams being injured makes this pick pretty easy. $5300 for a favorite target of Aaron Rodgers seems like an easy choice.
3) Marvin Jones
KC@CIN
$3800
Marvin Jones had 10 TD’s in 2013 before spending all of 2014 injured. Coming off of back-to-back TD games, he now gets the league worst Chiefs secondary at home.
TE
1) Eric Ebron
DET@SEA
$3500
Been targeted 20 times by Stafford through three games. Going against Seattle’s shutdown secondary, he should get his checkdowns all day.
2) Charles Clay
NYG@BUF
$3300
No Sammy Watkins means more Charles Clay.
3) Coby Fleener
JAX@IND
$3200
Another forgotten player through the first two weeks, Fleener had six targets last week in what should be an upward trend.
D
1) Panthers
CAR@TB
$3300
Too good of a defense for the rookie Winston to handle.
2) Colts
JAX@IND
$2800
Colts should be able to build a big lead at home, which will lead to turnovers for Jax.
3) Raiders
Oak@Chi
$2600
They’re either playing Cutler or Clausen. Either way, they both stink
Mike’s team last week:
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.
