Sunday Morning Edition
Sunday Morning Gametime
This is one of the most exciting times of
the year, right up there with March Madness and Christmas; it’s the first
Sunday of the NFL, week 1 and a full slate of games. This is what fantasy
owners have been waiting for since camps opened back in July and the time has
arrived.
Now that kick-off is just about 75 minutes
away how about a couple of “Hot Takes” for week 1;
I’ve not heard anything definitive, but as
long as quarterback Cam Newton starts, I am big on wide receiver Kelvin
Benjamin. A huge red-zone target in the passing offense, look for two scoreS
today from Benjamin.
I may not be starting Niners quarterback
Brian Hoyer today, but I think he’ll draw some fantasy owner attention today
with a solid performance. He’s not goinig to be a sexy play any week, but he’s
going to be a quarterback you can stream throughout the season.
One reason for Hoyer’s success will be his
connection with wide receiver Pierre Garcon. He’s the number receiver in a
system he’s familiar with he could see double digit targets today and post WR1
numbers against the Panthers.
The Bills running back LeSean McCoy is
going to see plenty of carries today and could top the 150 total yards mark.
The Jets defense has been picked apart this offseason and they could really
struggle this season against opposing running backs, especially in the pass
game.
And finally for Week 1, look for the old
man (sorry Carson) in Arizona, quarterback Carson Palmer to find a little
fountain of youth in Detroit today. He and the legend wide receiver Larry
Fitzgerald could pull out some old tricks and post some big numbers today; 300
yards passing, 100 yards receiving, and at least one scoring connection.
That’s My Hot Takes for Today.
