Week 8: Perfect Lineup
Here's my weekly Perfect line-ups for the NFL Perfect Challenge and DraftDay's Perfect Lineup contest.
Perfect Challenge
QB-Matt Ryan
RB-Devontae Booker
RB-Jacquizz Rodgers
WR-Brandon Marshall
WR-Julio Jones
TE-Greg Olsen
PK-Cairo Santos
D/ST-Vikings
DraftDay Perfect Lineup
QB-Matt Ryan
RB-Devontae Booker
RB-Jacquizz Rodgers
WR-Brandon Marshall
WR-Julio Jones
WR-Larry Fitzgerald
TE-Greg Olsen
PK-Cairo Santos
D/ST-Broncos
Going to start with the top. No quarterback has been as hot as the Falcons Matt Ryan, who leads all fantasy scorers (standard scoring) this season. With the Falcons playing host to the leagues number one run defense (Packers), expect Ryan and company to take to the air. And of course Ryan's favorite target is the leagues leading receiver Julio Jones (830 receiving yards). Ryan and Jones should put up some hefty numbers on Sunday making all fantasy owners proud.
The Broncos are home this week playing host to the visiting Chargers. With running back CJ Anderson out, rookie running back Devontae Booker will take the reins. Last week Booker totaled 83 yards on 17 carries and could see as many or more touches this week against a Chargers defense that allows the 6th most fantasy points to opposing running back.
The Browns have been awful this season allowing the 4th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers and with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick back under center, wide receiver Brandon Marshall will see plenty of balls in his direction. In the six previous games Fitz started, Marshall has averaged 10 targets per game. He's likely to see at least that many on Sunday.
Tight end Greg Olsen (60 targets this season) has a tough matchup with the Cardinals on Sunday, but being one of quarterback Cam Newton's favorite targets he's going to see plenty of chances on Sunday.
The Broncos lost on the road to the Chargers back in week 6, so no question revenge will be on their minds when they play host this Sunday. You can expect Broncos Defensive Coordinator Wad Phillips to turn up the heat on quarterback Philip Rivers and the Chargers offense.
That's my take.
