Saturday Evening Edition
Week
13 Diamonds in the Rough
This is the last week before the start of
fantasy playoffs for most redraft leagues and it could be the last chance for
some of us to play our way into the dance. If you are on the bubble and needing
help, well, desperate times call for desperate measures...
QB-Trevor
Siemian;
the Broncos signal caller has been just awful since week 3, one of the worst
fantasy quarterbacks this season (ranked 25th), but last week in relief of the
injured Paxton Lynch, Siemian did play well. It was not an eyebrow raiser and
sudden break-through, but for the Broncos and Siemian it’s a start. This week
he’s on the road, typically not a great matchup, but it’s the Dolphins. The
Phins don’t bring a lot of pressure (just 18 sacks this season) and they have
allowed the most fantasy points to week opposing quarterbacks over the past 4
weeks. Don’t look for big numbers, but he could offer a safe floor.
RB-Jaquizz
Rodgers;
the Buccaneers will be without starter Doug Martin, so Rodgers could see more
work on the early downs. He’s also an effective pass catcher, something the
Packers defense has struggled with the past month allowing the 2nd most
receptions (31) to opposing running backs over the last 4 weeks. Rodgers will
see some work for sure, but he’ll likely split the load with Charles Simms and
Peyton Barber, so his upside could be limited.
WR-Johnny
Holton;
the Raiders speedster is a boom or bust candidate for Week 13, but for those
living on a prayer, Houlton might hear those calls. No doubt a risky play here,
Holton has just 4 receptions on the year, but for 161 yards with 2 scores. The
Giants defense has allowed the 8th most fantasy points to opposing receivers
including 6 touchdowns over the past 4 weeks. If you’re in a bind, make a wish
here.
TE-CJ
Fiedorowicz;
playing in only his 4th game this season, the Texans tight end saw a season
high 8 targets last week. It’s a sign that his quarterback is developing some
chemistry and comfort with him and heading into a week 13 matchup with the
Titans (11th most fantasy points allowed to opposing TEs last 2 weeks) this
could not come at a better time. Fiedorowicz is not in line for a huge day by
any means, but if you’re struggling with production at the TE spot and need
help CJ might provide a small spark.
That's My Take.
