Friday Late Night Edition
Week
6: Four Horsemen + Flex
(Not-so-bold
Predictions)
Here were my picks a week ago; I had
Carson Palmer under center, his 15.64 fantasy points ranked 12th for week 5. At
running back I picked Le'Veon Bell, his 19.30 fantasy points ranked 5th among
running backs, at receiver I selected Pierre Garcon with 17.40 fantasy points
he ranked 13th at WR, and at tight end I had Hunter Henry with 13.20 fantasy
points (ranked 12th in Week 5). My flex selection was Duke Johnson who scored
17.30, good enough for 7th among RBs and finally my defense for week 5 was the
Bengals, 9 fantasy points (ranked 8th). Overall not too bad;
Overall grade B+
Here are my Bold Picks for Week 6
Quarterback
The Cardinals will play host to Tampa Bay
this week and for quarterback Carson Palmer, he gets the league’s 26th ranked
pass defense. The Bucs allow the 5th most fantasy points to opposing
quarterbacks and Palmer enters this week 6 matchup with a healthier receiving
corp. With a prime matchup this Sunday, Palmer currently the No.12 fantasy QB
will look to move up the ranks; 24 of 32 passing for 330 yards and three
touchdowns.
Running
Back
After a slow Week 5 against the Seahawks,
the Rams running back Todd Gurley II looks to rebound with a favorable matchup
against the Jaguars. Gurley has been solid this season running the ball and a
heavily inolved in the Rams short passing game with 22 receptions and 3
receiving touchdowns. Jacksonville allows the 7th most fantasy points to
opposing runners and they've surrendered the 3rd most rushing yards. Gurley is
in line for a big day; 95 rushing yards, 4 receptions for 35 yards and a
touchdown.
Wide
Receiver
The Redskins wide receiver Terrelle Pryor
is off to a slow start this season, but he could be on the mend. In week 4
Pryor looked much better getting targeted 5 times and grabbing three balls for
70 yards. He's got a nice matchup against a Niners defense that has allowed the
8th most fantasy points to opposing receivers, including the 4th most receiving
yards and 5 touchdowns. Pryor should be strong play and a great candidate to
find the endzone; 5 receptions, 80 yards receiving, and a touchdown.
Tight
End
The Jets roll into Foxboro on Sunday and
for tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, this could mean a big day. The Patriots
allow the 4th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends and have allowed 4
touchdowns this season. Seferian-Jenkins has remained steadily involved in the
Jets passing game with 15 receptions in 3 games and he's coming off his best
fantasy scoring game from a week ago; 5 receptions for 55 yards and a
touchdown.
Flex
If you are paying attention, then you may
be aware of the news that the Cardinals wide receiver John Brown was not listed
on the team's injury report. Brown put in a full session on Friday and appears
to be his healthiest of the season, just in time for a prime matchup with the
Buccaneers on Sunday. The Bucs defense allows the most fantasy points to
opposing wide receivers, so this could be the game where Brown breaks out; 5
receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Defense; I
am going with the rested Falcons at home. Atlanta typically plays better in the
dome and with the Dolphins coming to town, this sets up as a good matchup for
the Falcons defense.
That's My Take
