Monday Evening Edition
Sunday’s
Lineup Killers
(Week
8)
The Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston
was having a solid 2017 campaign heading into week 8. Back in week 6 against
the Cardinals he suffered a shoulder injury which forced him from the game
early. After aggravating his shoulder injury last week against the Bills,
Winston started the Week 8 against the Panthers.
After struggling all day and
posting less than 4 fantasy points and throwing two interceptions, you have to
wonder how much the injury affected him. Nonetheless, his poor outing on Sunday
was your lineup’s demise (if you started him).
Here are a few others from Week 8 that
took down fantasy owners lineups;
QB-Dak
Prescott; the Cowboys did not need much from
Prescott relying heavily on their running game and fantasy owners didn’t get
much. Prescott only threw 22 passes passing for 143 yards with zero touchdowns.
Owners can relax, there will be better days ahead for Prescott, as the Cowboys
will need bigger games from him down the stretch.
RB-Devonta
Freeman; the Falcons stud running back was off on
Sunday, not able to break loose gaining just 41 yards rushing. This was a disappointing
effort against a defense ranked 28th versus the run.
WR-Dez
Bryant; with Prescott only throwing 22 passes,
there were only few opportunities for Bryant on Sunday. Dez finished with just
4 catches for 39 yards on 6 targets. With Elliott likely returning to
suspension, Bryant’s role could grow even more over the next several weeks.
WR-Stefon
Diggs; the Vikings stud receiver returned to the
lineup on Sunday, but it may take him another week to get back to his old self.
Diggs was targeted 6 times, but could only turn that into 4 catches for 27
yards.
WR-Hunter
Henry; the Chargers tight end continues his up
and down scoring cycle for the season, with another dud on Sunday. Henry caught
just 2 passes for 11 yards. He’s the No.10 fantasy tight end in PPR, but his
volatile production can make him awful risky at times.
That's My Take.
