Sunday, Week 8
Sunday Morning Love
[early morning edition]
With the kickoff for the early morning London contest between the Chiefs and Lions only 20 minutes away, a couple of quick shouts;
I am loving me some Calvin Johnson this morning against a very weak and susceptible Chiefs secondary. Megatron has yet to fulfill his early draft expectations, but today owners may just reap some of those rewards. Facing a secondary that allows the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and the most touchdowns (12 in 8 games), Johnson is in line for a big day.
On the other side, the Lions secondary also struggle having allowed the second most pass plays of 20 or more yards this seasons with 32. Expect quarterback Alex Smith to look for his go-to weapon in wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Maclin is a solid start today in season long leagues and DFS. With 39 receptions for 561 yards this season, the Chiefs wideout is a reliable week 8 start. Get him in if you can.
That's my take for the early game.
