Monday Evening Edition
Sunday’s
Heroes
(Week
8)
It was one of the most exciting games of
the season, watching Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson duel with Texans
quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fortunately for the Seahawks, they had Russell.
There’s little doubt, his Sunday performance single-handedly won matchups for
fantasy owners and may have scored some cash for DFS players.
Wilson played brilliantly on Sunday
completing 26 passes for 452 yards and throwing 4 touchdowns; he also added a
couple of scrambles and runs for another 30 yards. It was an epic performance
good enough for the win and enough to move Wilson into the No.4 fantasy QB
slot.
Not-the-Usual-Suspects
QB-Andy
Dalton; the Red Rifle returned to action on
Sunday and played very well in the Bengals week 8 win over the Colts. Dalton
completed 17 of 29 passes for 243 yards tossing two touchdowns.
RB-Jerick
McKinnon; the Vikings running was big on Sunday
with 20 touches leading to 50 rushing yards, 6 receptions for 72 yards
receiving and a rushing touchdown. McKinnon showed off his versatility and
likely earned himself more touches going forward.
RB-Lamar
Miller; in a game that was highlighted with the
pass (8 passing touchdowns total), Miller flew under the radar posting a solid
line; 54 rushing yards, 3 receptions for 19 yards receiving and a receiving
touchdown.
WR-Paul
Richardson; the Seahawks receiver was golden on
Sunday hauling in 6 passes for 105 yards and two scores. This probably came out
of nowhere, but Richardson now has 5 receiving touchdowns on the season and
should be on fantasy radars.
WR-Robbie Anderson; the Jets receiver was
targeted just six times and turned in a line of 6/104/1. It was his best stat
line across the board for the season. This was his third straight game scoring
in double-digit fantasy points; he should be on fantasy radars throughout the
bye weeks.
WR-Jamison
Crowder; thus far this season Crowder has been a
disappointment, but on Sunday he shined and showed fantasy owners what he can
do. The Redskins receiver tallied 9 catches for 123 receiving yards. It was his
first double-digit scoring performance (in PPR) and likely not his last.
WR-JuJu
Smith-Schuster; the Steelers young receiver was given
opportunity and he cashed it in a big way. JuJu caught 7 of 10 targets for 193
yards, including a blistering 97 yard touchdown. It was his first big game of
the season and will definitely lead to more opportunities going forward.
TE-Jack
Doyle; the Colts tight end worked his way into
the Top-10 for fantasy TEs with his Sunday performance; 12 grabs for 121
receiving yards and a touchdown. Doyle’s workload had been trending in this
direction, he’s a safe TE1 going forward.
That's My Take.
