Even with zero sample size leading into
this one, I’ve already bought into “Hard Knocks”, the Buccaneers, and wide
receiver Mike Evans. The Bucs fourth year receiver is on the verge of being
elite and this could be the season he rises. I like the setup, opening at home,
he’s going to come out of the gate huge.
I have Brandin Cooks high on my list this
week at No.5. On the road, returning to New Orleans and the Superdome, Patriots
fans are going to see what this kid can really do when he gets going downfield.
This matchup has the making of a shootout and Cooks should be a huge part.
I’m not down on OBJ this week, just
concerned with the injury. I have him Top-10 and he could easily slide into the
Top-5 if he’s close to 100 percent. Odell Beckham Jr when healthy is always a
big play in the making, at less than 100 percent he can still be productive.
The Cardinals offense and quarterback
Carson Palmer struggled terribly week 1, with David Johnson out for 2-3 months
Larry Fitzgerald is going to be leaned on heavily. I think Fitz gets peppered
all over the field and especially in the red-zone, he’s my No.10 fantasy
receiver this week.
I’m not as high on Dez Bryant this week
with his pending matchup on the road against the Broncos. There’s no question
quarterback Dak Prescott is going to try to work the ball to Dez (9 targets in
week 1), but I don’t see a lot of YAC or big plays. Dez ceiling could be limited
in this one.
I’ve moved the Vikings Adam Thielen way up
considering where he was likely drafted and this is not all based on week 1.
Thielen showed a lot of this in the second half of the season last year and
it’s quite obvious quarterback Sam Bradford has lots of confidence in his sure
handed wide out. Thielen could also benefit from the Steelers having to focus
on trying to slow the Vikes other receiver Stefon Diggs.
I have both Jarvis Landry and Devante
Parker coming in at No.30 this week. I actually like Landry as the PPR
favorite, but I think Parker is going to produce more yards and possibly a
score. The pairing with quarterback Jay Cutler just makes too much sense with
Parker, but I won’t discount Landry’s involvement, especially as a frequently
used safety-valve.
That’s My Take.
