Monday Evening Edition
Sunday’s
Heroes
(Week
7)
Not
the Usual Suspects
Nothing makes fantasy owners happiest than
seeing their studs do what they do on Sunday, then there's the bench guys that
blow out; whole nother story. These guys can drive an owner crazy having the
biggest game on your bench when they count for nothing. These are the Fantasy
Studs from Sunday week 7 who are not your usual suspects;
QB-Josh
McCown;
the Jets quarterback should have been on most fantasy radars heading into week
7, coming off a big week 6 performance against New England. If you were
watching the waiver wire last week, you may have been able to take advantage of
his three touchdown game on Sunday against the Dolphins.
RB-Aaron
Jones;
the Packers running back has likely worked his way into not only a starting
gig, but perhaps a feature role. On Sunday Jones dominated the touches in the
backfield with 20 touches, totaling 138 yards and a touchdown; Going forward
expect Jones to hold serve in the backfield for now.
RB-TJ
Yeldon;
with starter Leonard Fournette sidelined, running back TJ Yeldon found some
opportunity on Sunday and took advantage. Yeldon rushed for 122 yards on 9
carries and added 2 catches for another 15 yards. The Jaguars are on bye next
week, when they return so should Fournette and Yeldon will return to his
regular backup role.
RB-Latavius
Murray;
the Vikings former pro bowl running back (when he was in Oakland) finally
showed off some of that skill he possessed when he wore Silver & Black. On
Sunday against the Ravens Murray broke loose for 113 yards and a touchdown.
He'll be on fantasy radars this week.
WR-Kenny
Stills;
with wide receiver Devante Parker inactive, next man up for the Dolphins is
Kenny Stills. Flying under most radars on Sunday, Stills just put up the
following stat line, 6/85/2. Stills was targeted 9 times, the most he's seen
since week 2. With a short week and quarterback Matt Moore likely to start, if
Parker is not available, Stills may again on the fantasy radar.
WR-Ted
Ginn Jr;
the Saints speedy receiver had a very good game against the Packers. Ginn Jr
hauled in 7 passes on 7 targets for 141 yards. It was a season high in targets
for Ginn and by far his most productive day. He's been too much hot and cold to
trust just yet, but get him on your radar, with Brees more days like this could
be coming.
TE-OJ
Howard;
the Buccaneers tight end broke out on Sunday catching 6 balls for 98 yards and
two scores. This was by far his best game fantasy-wise, but i was only the
second time he posted more than 3 fantasy points, so let's not jump on the band
wagon just yet. He's still a wait and see option especially with a healthy
Cameron Brate on the field.
TE-Evan
Engram;
the Giants rookie tight end continues to blossom with another nice Sunday;
6/60/1. As long as there is no OBJ and the receiving corp continues to be in
flux, Engram will see plenty of opportunity going forward and be a solid TE1.
That's My Take.
