As nosotros go into the mid-point of the NFL season, winning games inwards fantasy football game becomes that much to a greater extent than of import to secure a identify inwards the playoffs to larn that coveted entitle ring. Bye-Weeks proceed to hamper rosters leaving it extremely meaning to start as well as sit down the right players. This week’s edition does line of piece of job solid some high profile names as well as some lesser trusted talent to build a difference. Never surrender inwards fantasy football game every bit your outlook could drastically alter with a twosome victories. Let’s larn to it…

START - GET THEM IN YOUR LINEUP
Quarterbacks:
Kirk Cousins (MIN)
While the Vikings have got been able to win their final iii contests, Kirk Cousins hasn’t necessarily been the argue for those victories. His play has been steady but non spectacular hitting less than twenty points inwards the final iii contests. This calendar week having a primetime showdown with the Saints on Dominicus Night Football should convey out the best inwards Kirk. New Orleans gives upwards the 2nd most to fantasy quarterbacks which should bode good for Cousins this week. This competition should erupt into a shootout leaving both Cousins as well as Brees matching shot-for-shot. It’s non out of the query to witness Kirk amass statistics over 300 passing yards as well as at to the lowest degree 2 touchdowns.
Mitchell Trubisky (CHI)
What tin nosotros state nigh the Bears immature star inwards the making? Mitchell Trubisky has been on some other grade these final few weeks which has made us have got notice buying what he’s selling. In his final iii contests, Trubisky has been able to generate a whopping 120 fantasy points spell throwing for simply over thou yards as well as hitting eleven touchdown passes, incredible. While this measurement is genuinely unsustainable, the Bears have got a juicy matchup against the Jets who allow opposing quarterbacks to garner middle of the pack numbers. Coach Nagy has this criminal offense humming as well as executing fantastically to the betoken Mitchell is becoming a weekly starter. If the idea procedure is to play Trubisky over the likes of Cam Newton or Ben Roethlisberger, nosotros can’t combat as well as would really endorse the move.
Jameis Winston (TB)
We at ADF preached the play of Jameis Winston a twosome weeks agone to which he rewarded us with a rattling audio performance. That recommendation has 1 time once again come upwards for the Tampa Bay pin to start this calendar week with a rattling audio matchup on the horizon. Even though the Buccaneers move to Cincinnati to play on the road, the Bengals defence has been rather anemic at stopping large plays from happening. Giving upwards the 5th most to fantasy quarterbacks, the Bengals should survive inwards tough to guard the many receiving talents the Bucs employ leaving Jameis to throw darts all over the field. It’s definitely non out of the query to run across Winston drib dead over 300 yards as well as 2-3 touchdowns on Dominicus afternoon.
Running Backs:
Phillip Lindsay (DEN)
While the Broncos appear to survive on life back upwards inwards the AFC West, undrafted rookie Phillip Lindsay has been a breath of fresh air to a run game that has been much improved. With his teammate Royce Freeman nursing an injured ankle, fifty-fifty if he suits upwards for this competition his usage may survive express leaving Lindsay the featured dorsum to start. Phillip has been uber-productive solely seeing 1 competition drib dead below the 10 fantasy betoken grade with a ceiling of 17 points. Going upwards against the Chiefs this calendar week who surrender the 2nd most to running backs, Denver should employ a heavy run approach inwards attempts to hold Mahomes off the field. An endzone trip should almost survive a formality this calendar week for Lindsay.
Adrian Peterson (WAS)
As the Redskins quietly proceed to win games leading the means inwards the division, Adrian Peterson has seemingly establish rejuvenation inwards his aging legs to Pb the squad inwards rushing spell helping to assist inwards setting upwards the play activeness pass. While the yardage has been in that place for AP these final twosome weeks, he hasn’t establish the endzone since calendar week iii to elevator his numbers to levels we’d expect. Going upwards against the Giants who volition literally survive packing it inwards every bit 1 of the worst teams inwards the league, all signs betoken to a solid outing for Peterson as well as the Skins. Adding to that, with recent intelligence that the Gaints volition survive without their stud line backer Alec Ogletree for this match, lanes should survive broad for Adrian to run through. Fire upwards AP as well as don’t recollect twice.
James White (NE)
Our infatuation for James White this flavor has been existent every bit we’ve promoted the talented running dorsum on to a greater extent than than 1 occasion. This calendar week it appears to survive an absolute no brainer with New England going upwards against the Bills who can’t seem to practise much of anything on both sides of the ball. With rookie Sony Michel on the incorrect side of wellness as well as looking doubtful to wearing clothing for this contest, James White volition have got an expanded purpose that would advise he could uncovering the endzone multiple times. White should uncovering his means to existence a top 5 fantasy producer this week.
Raheem Mostert (SF)
It almost appears there’s a novel human being inwards town that has caught the oculus of coach Shanahan as well as his cite is Raheem Mostert. While he hasn’t exploded on the stat canvas every bit of yet, Mostert has definitely carved out a purpose for himself on this 49ers criminal offense that should proceed to demeanour fruit heading into this competition against the Cardinals. His appeal could survive a lilliputian to a greater extent than than his teammate Matt Breida moving forwards with Raheem possessing improve hands making him a improve alternative inwards the go past times game. Going upwards against the Cardinals this calendar week who surrender the most to fantasy backs, nosotros genuinely run across a rattling expert solar daytime for Mostert.
Wide Receivers:
Robert Woods (LAR)
In 1 of the improve contests to don the calendar week 8 slate, the Rams as well as Robert Woods faceoff against the Green Bay Packers. Woods has been rattling solid as well as hence far this flavor generating a salubrious 108.13 PPR fantasy points leading the means every bit the top receiver on the club. With Cooper Kupp poised to immature lady yet some other game with his injured knee, nosotros fully await Robert to 1 time again survive the number 1 target for Jared Goff. Even though the Packers surrender middle of the pack numbers to opposing broad receivers as well as expression to larn stud rookie Jaire Alexander dorsum from injury this week, Woods volition yet 1 time again survive a PPR darling for your team. Robert hasn’t establish the endzone since calendar week iv but should uncovering pay dirt inwards this one.
Emmanuel Sanders (DEN)
Since the offseason, nosotros at ADF have got been singing the praises of the Broncos Emmanuel Sanders to which he has rewarded us with existence 1 of the best wide-outs inwards all of fantasy as well as hence far this season. Going upwards against the Chiefs inwards a monster divisional showdown, Sanders should 1 time again survive featured seeing lesser coverage on his side with Thomas drawing the top embrace corners. Over the final 2 weeks, Sanders has lifted his game to run across an average of 24.2 fantasy points scored giving Case Keenum a vow of confidence to hold looking inwards his direction. It’s clear that Patrick Mahomes volition proceed his torrid measurement throwing touchdowns inwards bunches leaving the Bronco criminal offense attempting to match. Sanders volition have got some other large showing this week.
John Brown (BAL)
The Ravens John Brown has been absolutely fantastic this flavor leading all receivers on the lodge spell getting dorsum to line of piece of job organisation final calendar week with a swell game. Even though the Ravens move to Carolina to human face upwards the Panthers defence that has seen improvement these final few weeks, their secondary however has abundant weaknesses that should allow Brown to larn gratis on to a greater extent than than on occasion. It’s quite slowly for us to build a illustration for all the Ravens receivers inwards this contest, but Brown has proven to survive the most consistent at finding the endzone. Crabtree as well as Snead should also have got a purpose which could boundary the overall productivity for Brown, but his appeal is with large plays, as well as in that place should survive to a greater extent than than 1 this week.
Taylor Gabriel (CHI)
Our heightened appreciation for what coach Nagy has been able to attain as well as hence far this flavor with this immature criminal offense volition proceed every bit the Bears host the Jets. Nagy comes from the Andy Reid coaching tree that loves to highlight speedy talent creating mismatches on the field. Gabriel as well as Cohen fit that mantra of game breakers that tin strike at whatsoever moment. For players such every bit these, game conception specific situations usually dictate their output which the Jets give favor to Taylor having a handsome performance. Cooling off final calendar week inwards damage of production, Taylor should have got a rattling solid bounce dorsum against New York who gives upwards the 5th most to fantasy receivers. It’s non out of the query to run across Gabriel uncovering the endzone 1 time again here.
Tight-Ends:
Kyle Rudolph (MIN)
Some may scoff at the notion of the Vikings Kyle Rudolph finding ways to improve his surgery against the Saints who are swell at roofing opposing tight-ends. It’s no subway that Kyle has fallen off a cliff these final iv weeks leaving some fantasy owners looking for other options. Normally the tendency with slumping players of this talent grade should right itself as well as this volition survive the calendar week Rudolph gets dorsum on track. His targets over the final iii weeks has been the concern, every bit Cousins has looked to his management a mere xiv times inwards that span. His teammate Stefon Diggs has been the culprit stealing the target percentage to a whopping thirty over the final iii games, with express production. It’s impossible for us to believe that coach Zimmer volition proceed to strength feed Diggs to that grade opening upwards a dainty chance for Kyle to larn dorsum on track.
OJ Howard (TB)
It couldn’t survive clearer to us at ADF that the Bucs coaching staff have got the appetite to hold their athletic tight-end OJ Howard a large purpose of this offense. Beating out Cameron Brate for targets as well as playing fourth dimension week-to-week should supply confidence that OJ volition 1 time again run across his fair percentage of the workload. The Bengals surrender the 4th most to tight-ends as well as volition survive without cardinal contributors this calendar week on defense. Howard has been rattling reliable when he’s been on the plain as well as possesses a ceiling of fifteen fantasy points with a flooring of 10. You could practise a lot worse than OJ this week; larn him inwards your lineup.
SIT - LEAVE THEM ON THE BENCH
Quarterbacks:
Ben Roethlisberger (PIT)
This is perchance an unpopular sentiment this week, but nosotros have got no alternative but to advise placing Big-Ben on the bench against the Browns. While nosotros empathise that Pittsburgh is fresh coming off the bye, the Steelers have got 1 time again shown that they play to the grade of their competition as well as struggle inwards the go past times game when facing a solid defensive club. The final fourth dimension these teams met dorsum inwards calendar week one, it ended inwards a necktie as well as express Ben to an abysmal 9.77 points. While nosotros tin run across an improvement on those numbers, it’s tough to run across them non feeding the run game which has been the achilles heel of the Browns defense.
Cam Newton (CAR)
While Cam Newton has been quite consistent this flavor racking upwards solid numbers inwards the process, this calendar week is the calendar week to sit down that talented quarterback every bit they human face upwards 1 of the best defensive units inwards the NFL. The Ravens surrender the 2nd fewest points to quarterbacks as well as should have got a tough game conception gear upwards to rattle the Panthers star. Adding to that, it’s been documented that Cam is dealing with soreness inwards his throwing arm which is never a positive given the amount of penalty he ordinarily endures. He volition have got improve days as well as nosotros have got no qualms to advise benching him this week.
Alex Smith (WAS)
As the Redskins motion downward the path to becoming a rattling expert lodge overall, this calendar week shouldn’t survive form to Alex Smith existence anything to a greater extent than than an average to below average quarterback against the Giants. Washington volition lean on the run game to batter the New York defence seeing Smith proceed his obvious output of checking downward his passes to Chris Thompson as well as company. The receiving amount has been decimated past times injury as well as Alex has been unable to create whatsoever chemical scientific discipline with tight-end Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Reed leaving his options limited. If y'all require a bye-week passer to fill upwards the void, y'all could practise a lot improve than Alex Smith this week.
Running Backs:
Corey Clement (PHI)
Even every bit nosotros are witness to the Jaguars imploding upon themselves right inwards front end of our eyes, nosotros fully believe that the Eagles volition have got a hard fourth dimension running the ball this calendar week inwards London. Jacksonville however gives upwards the 9th to the lowest degree to fantasy backs making it quite the problem for the Eagles to generate much on the ground. Clement would possess some PPR upside with the potential to uncovering the endzone on a enshroud go past times or dump-off, but the likelihood of that coming to fruition is small.
Isaiah Crowell (NYJ)
The New York Jets are a squad that instantly have got lost their top 2 broad receivers for this competition as well as volition expression to lean on Crowell to ship the load. Unfortunately for Isaiah, his challenge facing the Bears front end 7 that has been rattling solid this flavor volition 1 time again experience similar he is trying to run through a brick wall. Chicago gives upwards the 5th to the lowest degree to fantasy runners as well as with an criminal offense depleted of go past times catchers, nosotros fully await this play to survive an upright bust inwards calendar week eight. Look elsewhere to fill upwards your running dorsum needs.
Aaron Jones (GB)
With a swell gibe coming our means betwixt the Packers as well as the Rams; it’s hard to believe that the run game for Green Bay volition survive anything to a greater extent than than a letdown. Overall the Packers however can’t seem to larn their run laid on moving to the betoken that it could survive taken seriously from week-to-week. Also, Los Angeles employs a run defence that rivals the best inwards the line of piece of job organisation as well as volition 1 time again survive on high warning to near downward the run game. We should me a multitude of points grace the scoreboard inwards this one, but none of it volition come upwards from Aaron Jones.
Wide Receivers:
Marvin Jones (DET)
The Detroit Lions seem to survive turning a corner instantly that Matt Patricia has pushed his agenda to larn his run laid on moving inwards the right direction. The 1 instrumentalist inwards this criminal offense that has taken a backseat to everything productive has been final twelvemonth revelation inwards Marvin Jones. With the impressive play of 2d twelvemonth receiver Kenny Golladay, Jones has larn something of a decoy on this criminal offense as well as should stay that means this calendar week against the Seahawks. Seattle has played improve on defence than nosotros predicted early on this offseason limiting receivers to the 19th fewest points inwards the league. Can’t trust Jones at this point.
Josh Gordon (NE)
Some catch this competition every bit a must start for Josh Gordon going upwards against the Bills, but nosotros must caution that idea procedure every bit Buffalo does inwards fact employ a rattling audio defensive dorsum group. Tre White should depict the assignment to Gordon’s side by as well as large leaving his safeties to aid build clean upwards where he lets down. While Josh has seen a salubrious amount of targets these final twosome weeks gaining the trust of Tom Brady, nosotros experience the Patriots volition select to exploit the Bills with whoever is opened upwards on the field. Josh could uncovering his means to have got a decent game but nosotros really don’t similar the matchup.
Nelson Agholor (PHI)
The disappearing human being who’s fallen from grace inwards the fantasy community, the Eagles Nelson Agholor volition supply lilliputian relief to advise he volition larn dorsum on rail against the Jaguars. Even every bit the Jags have got seemingly began their decent of effort feeling the pinch of carrying the criminal offense getting burnt all over the plain inwards the process. Agholor has larn goose egg to a greater extent than than a cheque downward alternative for Carson Wentz. Mediocre PPR stats volition survive the number if y'all recollect to start him on Sunday.
Tight-Ends:
Greg Olsen (CAR)
It appears to us that the Panthers are using kid-gloves to larn Olsen dorsum inwards this criminal offense to the dominating strength he 1 time was. Fearing over usage could 1 time once again aggravate his existing human foot injury that has toll him many games over the final 2 seasons; they also have got a hard problem of playing a top-flight defensive club. While nosotros practise run across encouragement for Olsen’s outlook moving forwards this season, this is a competition that nosotros desire no purpose of for the Panthers offense.
POTENTIAL BIG DAY – ALL ABOUT THE RISK/REWARD
Quarterbacks:
Andrew Luck (IND)
Admittedly, nosotros failed our prediction final calendar week on Andrew Luck thinking he wouldn’t survive able to perform to high levels, which he did making us expression foolish. This calendar week nosotros volition bound dorsum on the Luck prepare given the fantastic matchup inwards front end of him going upwards against the Raiders who have got packed it inwards already for the season. Players are rattling clear that they volition non surrender their trunk for a organisation inwards total tank-mode, to which Oakland is clearly in. With that state of affairs looking quite grim, Andrew Luck should have got a plain day.
Andy Dalton (CIN)
The Bengals took 1 on the mentum final calendar week showing they don’t belong with the cream of the crop inwards the NFL simply yet, but Andy Dalton as well as companionship should survive able to rebound quite nicely this calendar week with a domicile appointment against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay gives upwards the most fantasy points to quarterbacks making this a swell chance for Dalton to rebound providing a rattling audio stat-line. Andy has seen a ceiling of to a greater extent than than thirty points this flavor which could survive replicated inwards this prime number matchup. If y'all require a filler for farewell calendar week troubles, Andy should supply relief.
Running Backs:
Doug Martin (OAK)
The slowly evaluation suggesting that Doug Martin volition have got a expert solar daytime because he is instantly the Pb dorsum for the Raiders is quite lazy to survive honest. Realistically, Martin is coming inwards fresh with express game play as well as hence far this flavor as well as should survive leaned upon to attempt as well as bound start this run laid on against the Colts who have got struggled to halt the run. The Raiders volition employ a RBBC approach which could boundary Martin’s overall output, but nosotros could easily run across the muscle-hamster uncovering the endzone inwards this one.
Trenton Cannon (NYJ) (PPR)
Some reading this volition state “who is Trenton Cannon” as well as why is he listed every bit a potential large solar daytime candidate? Well since y'all ask, Cannon is a rookie running dorsum that was selected inwards the 6th circular of the 2018 NFL draft as well as has been thrust into the supporting purpose instantly that Bilal Powell has been sent to injured reserve. Cannon has a expert skillset that volition exhibit inwards the go past times game when Sam Darnold checks downward to relive pressure. Going upwards against the Bears this calendar week is a rattling hard test, but garbage fourth dimension points should survive the cite of the game for Trenton. If you’re stuck this week, Cannon could survive the aid y'all need.
Carlos Hyde (JAX)
After sitting out final week’s competition due inwards purpose to the tardily calendar week merchandise to the Jaguars, Carlos Hyde volition 1 time once again larn a fresh start with a novel team. Jacksonville has been underwhelming inwards the run game which has been the preferred system for this criminal offense as well as non achievable without Leonard Fournette. We absolutely honey the prospects of Hyde on this criminal offense with his build of hard olfactory organ running comparable to the organisation they ran with Fournette inwards the lineup. Learning the playbook on the wing volition survive a heavy inquire of Hyde, but nosotros have got quite a chip of faith that he’ll overcome. Volume should survive high inwards his origin activeness inwards a Jags uniform.
Wide Receivers:
Kenny Golladay (DET)
As the Lions come upwards off their bye-week as well as host the Seattle Seahawks, nosotros attempted to uncovering whatsoever information that would advise Golladay could survive near downward inwards this contest. Alas, nosotros couldn’t uncovering anything tangible to back upwards the illustration every bit Kenny volition survive a featured production this calendar week on the field. The Hawks sit down simply about one-half means inwards regards to points giving upwards to fantasy receivers as well as volition have got a rattling hard fourth dimension stopping the talented playmaker. Kenny should Pb all the broad receivers this calendar week for Detroit.
Willie Snead (BAL)
Last calendar week nosotros gave a solid endorsement to Willie Snead inwards a revenge game against his old lodge (the Saints) as well as he allow us downward with extreme failure. This calendar week nosotros volition 1 time once again drinkable the Kool-Aid recommending Willie every bit a potential to have got a interruption out performance. While the Panthers strength is inwards defending the run, the backend has holes that tin survive exploited peculiarly with all the attending Crabtree as well as Brown volition occupy. Snead saw a salubrious amount targets (7) final calendar week but wasn’t able to plow them into anything special. One to a greater extent than calendar week of believing earlier nosotros bound off the boat for Snead.
Donte Moncrief (JAX)
With Carlos Hyde anchoring the run game this calendar week for Jacksonville, the play activeness go past times should run across a jar of improvement leaving Donte Moncrief a swell benefactor. Donte has been hit-or-miss as well as hence far this flavor as well as the cardinal has been to attempt as well as predict when he’ll survive used to a greater extent than prevalently. Facing the Eagles who’ve struggled to halt the go past times game, Bortles volition effort to a greater extent than than a few shots to his management inwards hopes to garner large gains. While the bust portion remains on high for Moncrief, nosotros could run across a rattling expert solar daytime inwards London.
Martavis Bryant (OAK)
With the Raiders transportation their star Amari Cooper to the Cowboys inwards a merchandise this week, the troubled talents of Martavis Bryant could survive on display every bit Derek Carr needs to focus his targets elsewhere. Most weeks nosotros wouldn’t fifty-fifty expression inwards the management of Bryant, but this could survive something productive. Obviously in that place is a high risk at this play existence a bust, but if y'all have got the kahunas to identify him inwards a flex spot, y'all mightiness larn rewarded.
Tight-Ends:
Jimmy Graham (GB)
While the Rams are a grouping that have got played rattling good on the defensive side this season, they practise struggle inwards defending the tight-end spot to run across their ranking sit down at the 10th worst. Jimmy Graham hasn’t been the revelation nosotros would’ve idea coming into the flavor but has seen his target percentage increase nicely these final iii games. The Rams volition spot their best human foot forwards inwards attempts to near downward Davante Adams, leaving Jimmy every bit a potential huge solar daytime performer.
