Values of the Week
Jay Cutler – $10,600 (vs. DET)
Cutler did a lot with very little in week 5. Moving forward Cutler is getting back Alshon Jeffrey and Eddie Royal should be suiting up this week. If Cutler can put up over 18 points in week 5, by FantasyDraft scoring, I will be excited to see what he can do with more weapons.
Charcandrick West – $9,500 (vs. MIN)
Minnesota is in the bottom half of the league against running backs and is also allowing almost 10 yards per reception to running backs this season. If West really is taking over this job he could have a field day against the Vikings front seven.
Theo Riddick – $6,400 (vs. CHI)
Abdullah looks to be fumbling away the job in Detroit and Theo Riddick is the guy this team should looking to. Consider Riddick the Lance Dunbar of Detroit.
Tyler Lockett – $6,400 (vs. CAR)
Seattle is not known to be a factory for wide receivers, but Lockett may turn into the exception. Already receiving as many targets as Jimmy Graham in the offense, Lockett is the only wide receiver getting regular separation and the ability to do something special every week at a bargain basement price.
Eric Decker – $9,600 (vs. WAS)
Just a couple of years ago Decker was putting up WR1 numbers in an offense with Demaryius Thomas in it. Now the offense had Peyton Manning in his prime running it, but Decker knows how to get open when another wide receiver is drawing away coverage. Look for Decker to only get more comfortably working with Fitzpatrick.
Larry Donnell – $6,700 (vs. PHI)
VOLUME. There is no one else left in this offense to soak up targets. While PHI has not been giving up much to tight ends this year I can see this trend changing this week on volume alone.
Chicago Bears – $4,700 (vs. DET)
Stafford is not right and the offense is either telegraphing their plays or not in sync. This is a recipe for Stafford to throw another two or three interceptions and for the Chicago defense to get things done.
Players To Avoid
Eli Manning – $13,900 (vs. PHI)
Similar to what I mentioned above, Eli will have few targets to throw to this weekend. As the 5th most expensive QB this week I cannot see the value.
Eddie Lacy – $12,000 (vs. SD)
Lacy is running through mud and Aaron Rodgers is the only one keeping this offense on track. Equaling 7.4 points in FantasyDraft scoring over the last two weeks, Lacy should not be an option here.
Antonio Brown – $16,000 (vs. ARI)
Few things are as hard to write as sit Antonio Brown. The Cardinals are on cruise control and a Michael Vick lead offense is not going to be what helps put the breaks on. The only silver lining is Brown can plan a ton of garbage time!
Jimmy Graham – $12,400 (vs. CIN)
I will not stop putting Graham in this section until he is outside of the top-10 most expensive tight ends on FantasyDraft. Graham is the 4th most expensive tight end on FantasyDraft with only two double-digit fantasy games this season.
Stacks of the Week
Aaron Rodgers ($15,100) + James Jones ($11,800) = $$26,900 (vs. SD)
Picking any line-up with Aaron Rodgers is going to be a great start and tricky to find the pieces to stick with him. Luckily James Jones is still a great value and a big-play threat to at least double his value. This is a great play for cash games.
Blake Bortles ($10,600) + Allen Hurns ($10,300) + Allen Robinson ($12,000) = $32,900 (vs. HOU)
Jacksonville has put up underrated production and Blake Bortles had scored 20+ points 2 of the last 3 weeks, according to FantasyDraft scoring. This trio has won a lot of DFS games over the past few weeks and this trend won’t slow down against the Texans.
Andy Dalton ($11,100) + Tyler Eifert ($10,100) = $21,200 (vs. BUF)
Gronk who? Just kidding. Tyler Eifert and Andy Dalton are putting on a clinic this year together. Twice this season Eifert has put up over 25 points and Andy Dalton is taking advantage of the weapons around him. If you can find a way to fit A.J. Green in your line-up too you won’t be sorry.
Riddick, in this lineup, gives me the ability to spend more on every position and still get production from my crew.
