Late Round Fliers: Favorite Sleepers and Such
[Diamonds in the Rough]
NY Jets, Running Back Ty Montgomery
Currently coming off the board (Full PPR) as the RB58 at ADP #157.2 (according to FFC), the Jets back-up running back is a steal. Even with running back Le’Veon Bell in the lead-dog position in New York, Montgomery is going to see action because of his versatility as a runner and pass catcher. At the very least I think he can be a reliable low value flex play with potential upside. If Bell should miss any time, Montgomery would see an increase work-share. Don’t get me wrong, Bell figures to dominate touches in the backfield, but Montgomery has enough talent and skill he could work his way onto the field every week. At the very least he figures to be a great hand-cuff you can snag late and may even offer some stand alone value.
NY Jets, Quarterback Sam Darnold
Let’s not get carried away here, I am not thinking the Jets will have a juggernaut offense in 2019, but I do believe they will be in the upper half. Their young quarterback (Darnold) is a budding star in this league and this offseason he’s been given a few new toys. At the close of 2018, Darnold showed flashes as a top 12 Fantasy QB over his last 3 starts; 5 touchdown passes, no interceptions, and 102.8 passer rating. Add an elite pass catcher out of the backfield like Bell (160 receptions his last two seasons played), wide receiver Jamison Crowder (already showing strong chemistry with his QB) in the slot, and tight end Chris Herndon (suspended for the first four games) when he returns and Darnold will have plenty of weapons in 2019. He’s an absolute heist going as #QB23, ADP 161.7 (FFC). He’s absolutely worth a stash on your bench in deeper leagues and could be a difference maker down the stretch for fantasy owners.
SF 49ers, Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin
In his last 5 games in 2017, with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo under center, Goodwin was number 13 fantasy receiver in full PPR (stat line; 29 catches, 384 yards receiving, 1 touchdown, 43 targets). He’s currently coming off the boards at ADP 164.1, #WR64 (FFC) and he’s projected to be a starter heading into the regular season. There have been plenty of whispers about some of the other receivers in San Francisco, but Goodwin has history with Garoppolo. If Jimmy G can get his legs under him, these two could once again find that chemistry for 2017. Going as deep as Goodwin is in drafts, he’s a must pick up late.
Buffalo Bills, Wide Receiver John Brown
Over the past several seasons, Brown has become kind of a training camp folk hero. Every year it seems, we hear the whispers of how good Brown looks in camp. There’s no question, Brown has big play talent and skill, health has always been his nemesis. Well he’s healthy again this offseason (as he was last season) and once again he’s looking great in camp. The difference this season is the big arm under center in Buffalo (Josh Allen) and the great rapport and connection the two are showing. There’s not another real established receiver in Buffalo ahead of Brown, so another difference this season is “Opportunity.” Brown who is coming off the boards at ADP 145.5, #WR57 (FFC), has a chance to lead this team in receiving. He’s another starter with breakout potential, that you can snag very late in drafts.
Minnesota Vikings, Quarterback Kirk Cousins??
For the money he’s getting paid, he may not be worth, but as a fantasy starting QB, I disagree. Cousins is coming off the boards late #QB18, ADP 138.7 (FFC). He has the weapons in wide receivers Stefon Diggs, Adam Thielen and tight end Kyle Rudolph, add the return of running back Dalvin Cook (who looked great in the team’s third preseason game) and Cousins will put up numbers. Last season was a down year for Cousins, but he still finished as the number 12 fantasy QB; this after finishing 6th in 2017 and 5th in 2016. I like his outlook and believe in his ability to produce. Call this a gut feeling, but I got a feeling.
That’s My Take

Sunday Morning Edition
Sunday
Morning Gametime
(Week
9)
Last
Minute Updates
No Jeremy Hill today for the Bengals,
which means we’ll see even more of Joe Mixon today against the Jaguars. Giovani
Bernard could see more field time, but he’s not
Leonard Fournette is inactive today and
Chris Ivory will start. Going up against the Bengals today, look for TJ Yeldon
to get plenty of play.
Wide receiver Pierre Garcon was added to
the Injured Reserve this week. With his absence, specifically this weekend,
with Jamison Crowder also OUT receivers Ryan Grant and Terrelle Pryor will see
a bundle of targets. Grant is the favorite today playing out of the slot.
Trending
this morning
In DFS, running back Lamar Miller is
trending upwards with my start selections. I like his matchup and with the loss
of Watson under center, I believe the offense may lean with the run today.
A sleeper play this week, that shouldn’t
really be a sleeper play if you’ve been awake over the past several weeks is
Saints receiver Ted Ginn Jr. Ginn has made some big plays this season and
recently has put up nice numbers; last 3 weeks, 13 catches, 275 yards
receiving, and a touchdown.
Final
Thoughts
I have the Colts offense flying under the
radar this week, but I like Brissett with Mack, Doyle, and Hilton in a stack
for DFS, or at least a couple of these guys sprinkled in your lineups. The
Texans defense is full of leaks and this is a matchup that could reap many
rewards.
That's My Take.

Sunday’s
Heroes
(Week
8)
It was one of the most exciting games of
the season, watching Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson duel with Texans
quarterback Deshaun Watson. Fortunately for the Seahawks, they had Russell.
There’s little doubt, his Sunday performance single-handedly won matchups for
fantasy owners and may have scored some cash for DFS players.
Wilson played brilliantly on Sunday
completing 26 passes for 452 yards and throwing 4 touchdowns; he also added a
couple of scrambles and runs for another 30 yards. It was an epic performance
good enough for the win and enough to move Wilson into the No.4 fantasy QB
slot.
Not-the-Usual-Suspects
QB-Andy
Dalton; the Red Rifle returned to action on
Sunday and played very well in the Bengals week 8 win over the Colts. Dalton
completed 17 of 29 passes for 243 yards tossing two touchdowns.
RB-Jerick
McKinnon; the Vikings running was big on Sunday
with 20 touches leading to 50 rushing yards, 6 receptions for 72 yards
receiving and a rushing touchdown. McKinnon showed off his versatility and
likely earned himself more touches going forward.
RB-Lamar
Miller; in a game that was highlighted with the
pass (8 passing touchdowns total), Miller flew under the radar posting a solid
line; 54 rushing yards, 3 receptions for 19 yards receiving and a receiving
touchdown.
WR-Paul
Richardson; the Seahawks receiver was golden on
Sunday hauling in 6 passes for 105 yards and two scores. This probably came out
of nowhere, but Richardson now has 5 receiving touchdowns on the season and
should be on fantasy radars.
WR-Robbie Anderson; the Jets receiver was
targeted just six times and turned in a line of 6/104/1. It was his best stat
line across the board for the season. This was his third straight game scoring
in double-digit fantasy points; he should be on fantasy radars throughout the
bye weeks.
WR-Jamison
Crowder; thus far this season Crowder has been a
disappointment, but on Sunday he shined and showed fantasy owners what he can
do. The Redskins receiver tallied 9 catches for 123 receiving yards. It was his
first double-digit scoring performance (in PPR) and likely not his last.
WR-JuJu
Smith-Schuster; the Steelers young receiver was given
opportunity and he cashed it in a big way. JuJu caught 7 of 10 targets for 193
yards, including a blistering 97 yard touchdown. It was his first big game of
the season and will definitely lead to more opportunities going forward.
TE-Jack
Doyle; the Colts tight end worked his way into
the Top-10 for fantasy TEs with his Sunday performance; 12 grabs for 121
receiving yards and a touchdown. Doyle’s workload had been trending in this
direction, he’s a safe TE1 going forward.
That's My Take.

Monday Afternoon Edition
Monday
Night Takes
After a wild weekend with some big
surprises, tonight’s matchup has all the makings of another Prime-Time
spectacle with the Redskins traveling to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. It
promises to be a raucous atmosphere tonight, as it typically is at Arrowhead
Stadium; and Monday night will surely amplify the excitement.
My
Takes
Quarterback Kirk Cousins;
the Redskins signal caller finally got things going in week 3 against the
Raiders. It was a strong showing and solid performance by Cousins that helped
lead the Redskins. Tonight he’ll be away from the comfy confines of home and
take his show on the road into hostile territory. The Chiefs defense has held
up pretty tough this season versus opposing quarterbacks, but they can be had;
in week 2 the Chiefs did allow the second most fantasy points (24.8) to
opposing quarterbacks. Cousins played great last week and will try to bring the
same momentum into tonight, but road games are always tough. I’d expect Cousins
to hang in there, but a big game is likely not on the slate; more like 16-18
fantasy points would be in line.
Running backs Chris Thompson & Samaje
Perine;
the main production tonight will likely come from the more versatile back of
the two, Chris Thompson. Samaje (if Rob Kelley is out) is going to see a lot of
the 1st and 2nd down work, but Thompson will be sprinkled in all facets and see
heavy use in the passing game. Samaje is likely to find little running room
against the Chiefs No.7 ranked run defense, owners may want to sit him tonight.
Thompson on the other hand has been on fire and while many may believe it’s
time for the flames to fan, I like him in the flex tonight. Thompson should see
about a half dozen carries or so and get work 7-9 targets in the pass game.
Wide receivers Josh Doctson, Terrelle
Pryor, & Jamison Crowder; I’ll run through these real quick; still
waiting on Terrelle Pryor to arrive in 2017 and not expecting to see much
tonight against Marcus Peters. Crowder is questionable for tonight, but even if
he plays while he is a safe play currently his ceiling seems limited; averaging
just 6.0 targets the first three weeks. Cousins does spread the ball around
pretty good, but the sleeper tonight to watch is wide receiver Josh Doctson.
Last week he only had 2 targets, but did connect on a long shot for 52 yards.
As time passes, we may see him get more involved.
Tight ends Jordan Reed & Vernon Davis;
Always the risk it seems, the play at tight end here is Reed (if he’s healthy).
Reed has been a non-factor the first three weeks playing in 2 games. His
numbers are not what we expect from a TE1, hyped as he was in the preseason.
He’ll be looking to get things going tonight against the Chiefs who struggle
with the TE spot. If Reed is out, insert Davis who fared well in week 3 with 5
grabs for 58 yards and a score.
Quarterback Alex Smith;
the Chiefs quarterback had a modest week 3 and with the Redskins coming to
town, that’s about what I’d normally expect for tonight. You’re probably not
starting Smith tonight in smaller redraft leagues, maybe two QB leagues only.
The Chiefs will lean on the run and short passing game, but will ask Smith to
take a few big shots downfield. Smith has been good this season going downfield
more often, so don’t be surprised if totals a bunch of yards, to compliment a
few scores.
Running back Kareem Hunt &
Charcandrick West; the key for the Chiefs is in the ground
game or at least with their ball carrier, Kareem Hunt. Whether they have
success running the ball or not, they will work to get the ball in the hands of
Hunt. So far through three weeks Hunt has been electric, he’s in line for
another 18-22 touches tonight. He’s my No.1 fantasy RB this week. West is
nothing more than a handcuff. As long as Hunt is healthy, West won’t see enough
work to be fantasy relevant.
Wide receiver Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley,
& Albert Wilson; Head Coach Andy Reid likes to mix things
up so much, it’s really hard to gauge where his receivers are. About the only
relevant receiver in the Chiefs passing game is Hill. Niether Wilson or Conley
can be trusted, only Hill with 22 targets through the first 3 weeks is
startable. Tonight’s going to be a tough matchup, but count on Reid to move
Hill around and get him the ball in space; despite the matchup, he’s my No. 14
fantasy WR.
Tight end Travis Kelce; Last
week Kelce was nearly shut out. Fantasy owners don’t panic, last week was just
an anomaly. Reid and his staff will make sure Kelce is involved tonight; i’d
expect a bounce back game against the Redskins defense that struggles against
tight ends. Kelce is my No.2 fantasy TE this week.
Tonight matchup with the undefeated Chiefs
(3-0) and the (2-1) Redskins has the appearance of a great matchup and could be
a barn-burner as likely as anything else. Either way, we are in for a good one
with plenty of scoring and lots of fantasy implications. Are you ready for some
Monday Night Football!
That’s My Take.

My
Week 4 Injury Takes
RB-Carlos Hyde;
the Niners running back is dealing with a hip injury and is a game-time call.
He’s practiced all week in limited fashion, so there’s a chance he plays, but
given the nature of the injury and the concern there seems to exist, Hyde could
be a real risky play. I would lean with other options, if available.
WR-JJ Nelson; the Cards receiver is
questionable, but expected to play on Sunday. After his donut last week with
only three targets, he’ll be a risky play and hard to trust. I would prefer to
see him back to 100 percent before inserting him back in my lineup.
WR-John Brown; the
Cards are saying Brown will play, but after sitting two games he’s a wait and
see option. I like him going forward and will watch him this week with a close
eye.
WR-Julio Jones; the
Falcons wide receiver was removed from the team’s injury report on Friday. It
will be all systems go for the playmaking receiver on Sunday. He’s my top
ranked wideout for week 4.
WR-Doug Baldwin; the
Seahawks receiver returned to practice on Friday, but there’s no questions he
still not back to 100 percent. He’s likely to play this week, but I’m not
looking for much from Baldwin. I’ll be sitting him and hoping he gets through
the week with no setbacks.
WR-Michael Crabtree;
the Raiders receiver has been downgraded to doubtful and should be removed from
your lineups this week. With Crabtree likely out, wide receiver Amari Cooper
gets a bump in value in a tough Week 4 matchup.
RB-CJ Prosise; the
Seahawks running back is doubtful for Sunday as expected. It will be Chris
Carson and likely JD McKissic according to head coach Pete Carroll. The
Seahawks backfield is a muddled situation and Carson is really the only back
this week that carries any value.
WR-Amari Cooper; the
Raiders receiver was removed from the team’s injury report. That’s good news
for Cooper, but for owners the bad news is his recent dings have had little to
do with his recent struggles. He’s going to be mid-WR2 this week with a tough
matchup against the Broncos.
RB-Jalen Richard; the
Raiders passing catching back was removed from the team’s injury report. With
the likely absence of Crabtree this week, Richard could see even more play in
the passing game. He’s a low-end flex this week.
RB-Melvin Gordon;
the Chargers starting running returned to a full practice on Friday. He’s still
dinged up, but will be a go on Sunday. He’s my No.11 fantasy RB this week.
WR-Mike Williams; the
Chargers rookie wide receiver has been ruled out for week 4. The rookie is
close as there was some thought he may play. Even when he does return to the
field this season, at least in the early going he’s going to be nothing more
than a stash until owners see what he can do.
TE-Delanie Walker; the
Titans tight end was removed from the team’s injury report. Walker should be
ready to roll on Sunday against the Texans, he’s my No.5 fantasy TE this week.
RB-Matt Forte;
the Jets veteran running back has been ruled out for Sunday. With Forte
shelved, running back Bilal Powell will start and likely see a larger share of
the workload this week. Even with Forte out, Powell is considered a low-end
flex at best.
RB-Rex Burkhead; the
Patriots running back entered the regular season with a lot of hype, but recent
injuries have really derailed his opportunities. He is listed as doubtful,
although he did return to practice Friday, so he’s close to returning. Right
now Burkhead is merely a stash in deeper leagues.
WR-Kenny Golladay;
the Lions rookie receiver is listed as questionable for Sunday after missing
the team’s last two practices. And while he has not been ruled out, owners
should go ahead and avoid. Golladay hasn’t done much since his fast two score
start in week one.
TE-Jack Doyle;
the Colts tight end has been removed from the team’s injury report. He’s the
No.17 fantasy tight end in PPR and my No.16 this week. He’s not your starter,
but worth rostering as a bye week fill (if the matchup is right).
RB-Duke Johnson; the
Browns running back is off the team’s injury report and is a viable flex option
this week. He’s my No.29 fantasy RB in PPR.
WR-Kelvin Benjamin;
the Panthers receiver has been removed from the team’s week 4 injury report
which is good news for owners. Benjamin has a great matchup this week against
the Patriots, but he also did last week against the Saints before exiting
early. He’s a borderline flex option this week, but as long as he remains in
the game he’s got potential to haul in some passes. He could be a boom or bust
this week.
WR-Jamison Crowder;
the Redskins receiver is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, but he
did practice on Saturday; a good indication he’ll be available Monday, Crowder
was quiet last week in a game where Cousins passed for over 300-yards; it’s
hard to trust him at the moment until we see something. He’s a WR3/WR4 for week
4.
TE-Jordan Reed;
the Redskins tight end is listed as questionable although the sense is he
plays. Just the same like last week, if you can plan it have back up tight
Vernon Davis loaded in your holster in case Reed is a scratch.
That’s My Take.

Sunday Lineup Killers
Here is my Week 2 rundown of those players
that may have sunk your week 2 matchup in your redraft league and didn’t score
you some mean green in the weekly DFS;
Quarterbacks Cam Newton (11.82 fpts) and
Kirk Cousins (11.86 fpts) were drafted as starters in most fantasy formats, but
on Sunday neither played to that potential, as far as fantasy owners are
concerned.
QB-Tyrod Taylor (BUF) 125 pass yds, 55 ru
yds
QB-Cam Newton (CAR) 228 pass yds, 27 ru
yds
QB-Kirk Cousins (WAS) 179 pass yds, 1 Td
Running back LeSean McCoy was anything but
Shady on Sunday, totaling just 43 yards for the day. If not for his six catches
his day would have been a major bust, but considering where he was taken in
most fantasy drafts (even PPR) it still was.
RB-Ezekiel Elliott (DAL) 8 ru yds, 14 rec
yds
RB-Rob Kelley (WAS) 78 ru yds
RB-Dalvin Cook (MIN) 64 ru yds
RB-LeSean McCoy (BUF) 9 ru yds, 34 rec yds
Wide receivers Jamison Crowder (WR2) &
TY Hilton (WR1) likely drafted as starting receivers in most formats are not
living up to their promise. Hilton has a built in excuse with the absence of
starter Andrew Luck, while it seems Crowders quarterback (Kirk Cousins) has
been playing possum himself in this early season. Neither look like great
prospects in the short future.
WR-Jamison Crowder (WAS) 47 rec yds
WR-TY Hilton (IND) 49 rec yds
WR-Tyreek Hill (KC) 43 rec yds
WR-Doug Baldwin (Sea) 44 rec yds
WR-Devin Funchess (CAR) 68 rec yds
WR-Antonio Brown (PIT) 62 rec yds
WR-Jordy Nelson (GB) left game w/injury.
Zero catches
Tight end Greg Olsen was injured in week 2
and his departure hurt fantasy owners as he had just one catch at the time.
Unlike Olsen, Clay was not hurt during week 2, but his fantasy performance on
Sunday was hurtful. Clay finished week 2 with just 23 receiving yards.
TE-Greg Olsen (CAR) 1 catch, 10 rec yds
TE-Charles Clay (BUF) 3 catches, 23 rec
yds
TE-Jimmy Graham (SEA) 1 catch, 1 rec yard
TE-Martellus Bennett (GB) 5 catches, 47
rec yds
These are the players that if you were
lucky enough to avoid, you might have survived week 2, otherwise my
condolences.
That’s My Take.

Saturday Evening Edition
My Week 2 Injury Takes
WR-Golden Tate; the Lions wide receiver
has been removed from the team’s injury report this week. Tate is all systems
go and should be started with confidence.
QB-Sam Bradford; the Vikings quarterback
is trending towards starting Sunday and is expected to play. With Bradford
under center, owners can start the Vikings receivers as expected. It’s a tough
matchup, so temper your expectations.
WR-Odell Beckham Jr;
recent reports suggest OBJ is expected to play. Don’t set your expectations
high, but if OBJ is playing owners can’t afford to have him on the bench. It’s
a tough call, but the Giants won’t roll him out unless he can be effective.
WR-Jarvis Landry; the Dolphins receiver is
also trending toward playing, but owners will have to wait until the afternoon
inactives to confirm. Landry is a middle of the road play this week, in my
opinion. If safer options are available, that may be the better road traveled.
If he’s healthy and a go, he’s likely a better play in PPR formats.
WR-John Brown; the Cardinals speedy
receiver has been ruled out for Week 2. Brown is still dealing with quad
issues, but his absence will only open more opportunities for Fitzgerald, wide
receiver JJ Nelson, and wide receiver Jauron Brown (0 targets in week 1).
Nelson (6 targets in week 1) is the play for me this week.
RB-Devontae Booker;
the Broncos running back is expected to miss his second week with the wrist
injury that’s kept him sidelined. Even healthy he’s likely buried on the depth
chart behind Anderson and Charles. The only impact here is, this may give
Charles more window to carve out a larger role in the Broncos running game.
WR-Andrew Luck; the Colts are still
without their signal caller and there’s no definitive timetable for a return.
As long as Luck is sidelined, you have to downgrade the receivers. Only Hilton
holds any fantasy relevance, and even his is risky at best (for now).
WR-Danny Amendola; the Patriots will be
without Amendola who suffered a concussion in week 1. Brady owners won’t have
to worry, he’s still got plenty of weapons. With Amendola sidelined Cooks and
Gronkowski will see their normal share, but wide receiver Chris Hogan could see
an uptick of involvement on Sunday.
WR-Eric Decker; the Titans wide receiver
is off the injury report which is good new for fantasy owners, but he’s
probably still a wait and see. Decker saw 8 targets in week one, but only
snagged 3; owners should probably wait until we see more production before rolling
him out. He’s a very low-end flex option at best this week.
WR-Jamison Crowder;
the Redskins receiver is practicing full and expected to play on Sunday.
Crowder had a poor showing in week one, but may have been slowed by injury.
He’s healthy and should be ready to go, but the offense looks out of sync. I
might look elsewhere if you have options, but he should be worth starting in
PPR formats.
RB-Thomas Rawls; the Seahawks will have
Rawls for Sunday who has been removed from the team’s injury report. With Rawls
available, the Seahawks backfield is a cluster-bunch and hard read. It will be
a tough call for fantasy owners to navigate and might be best avoided until
head coach Pete Carroll gets his backfield sorted out.
That’s My Take for Week 2.

My Week 2 Four Horsemen + a Flex
(Bold Predictions)
So
I took a beating in week one with injuries (Woodhead), poor performances
(Powell), and big disappointment (Crowder). Only my quarterback
(Roethlisberger) and tight end (Ertz) came through. Tomorrow’s another week and
another shot at My Week 2 Bold Predictions;
Quarterback
Tomorrow Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston
and the Buccaneers will make their first appearance in the 2017. This is
expected to be a big year for Winston and tomorrow it should get off to a quick
start. It’s a home matchup with the Bears who allowed more than 300 yards
passing in week one to Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Winston has a strong arm and
all the intangibles to make plays, with an elite receiver like Mike Evans and
the newly acquired speedy DeSean Jackson, he’s set up for a big year and (Week
2) Sunday. I’d expect a solid line from Winston; 18 of 26 passing, 246 yards,
and 3 touchdowns passing.
Running Back
The Chargers are at home tomorrow and
running back Melvin Gordon is ready to have a big home-coming. Last week
against a tough Bronco’s defense Gordon was still effective and produced. Last
season the Dolphins weren’t bad versus the run, but did allow the 6th most
receptions to opposing running backs. Gordon is a dual threat and will be
involved in the run and pass game. I’d expect to see him hit 20 touches or so
and put up RB1 numbers for week 2; 18 carries for 80 yards, 5 catches for 40
yards, and one touchdown.
Wide Receiver
I like Bucs receiver Mike Evans this week
as a DFS stack and as one of my bold predictions here. Yeah, this one is
not-so-bold. Evans is big time and with Winston ready to take the next step,
Evans is also about to elevate to the next level. In his three year career
Evans has averaged nearly 10 targets per game, so owners can count on him to be
a big part tomorrow. Evans should have a healthy line of 7 receptions for 100
yards and a score.
Tight End
The Patriots laid an egg in week one and
tight end Rob Gronkowski was a non-factor with just two catches for 33 yards.
Expect a bounce back performance here in a favorable matchup this week against
the Saints. The Patriots will be on the road, but Gronk is too valuable and
will be heavily involved this week. The Saints defense played well last week,
but did allow a touchdown. Fantasy owners can expect more than just a score
from Gronk this week; 6 receptions, 85 yards, and a touchdown.
Flex
The Colts secondary is in a lot of trouble
this week, after getting torched by quarterback Jared Goff and the Rams in week
1 for 13 catches, 194 yards and a touchdown all to the receivers. Enter Larry
Fitzgerald and the Arizona Cardinals this week. The Cardinals had their own
struggles in week one, but the Colts secondary may be just what the doctor
prescribed. With corner Vontae Davis expected to miss week 2, wide receiver
Larry Fitzgerald could be in for some extra work this week. He’s my flex of the
week; 8 receptions, 80 yards receiving, and a touchdown.
That’s My Take for Week 2.
