Sunday Morning Edition
Sunday
Morning Gametime
Week 8 has begun with two games in the
books. I am just running down, my thoughts for Sunday morning, sprinkling a
little bit of this and that for fantasy consideration. I don't have a crystal
ball or hot-line to Matt Berry for info, so tread with caution;
Stud
of the Week
I am all-in with Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen. The great thing here is the matchup against the Patriots and the
fact the quarterback Philip Rivers has plenty of other options that should keep
the defense honest. Allen has been a target monster at times this season, today
could be another double-digit look and big production.
Dud
of the Week
I am staying away for Niners running back
Carlos Hyde. This is an ugly matchup for the Niners, over-matched on the
defensive side facing the Eagles offense and likely to be overwhelmed this week
on the offense side matching up against the league's number one rushing
defense.
DFS
favorites today
Joe Mixon; I like the rookie running
back's matchup today. Mixon has been getting the bulk of the workload in the
backfield and with today's matchup against the Colts, owners should see
significant production in what I predict to be a breakout performance.
Kelvin Benjamin; the Panthers and
quarterback Cam Newton look to rebound from the ambush at Soldier Field a week
ago. Benjamin is going to be a primary target and should get a couple of
scoring opportunities today. I like him a lot against the Bucs today.
Diamonds
in the Rough
Mack Hollins; the explosive Eagles rookie
receiver had one catch last week, but it was a big one; a 64 yard touchdown
strike. A risky play in redraft leagues yes (maybe a flier in big DFS
tournaments), but I like his chances today to get behind the Niners secondary
for another big score.
Marlon Mack; the Colts rookie running back
has been trending in the right direction with his snap count. He's a preferred
option in the pass game and could potentially see significant play today in a
game where the Colts could be playing catch-up most of the way.
That's My Take.
