Why Deebo Samuel should be locked into both cash and tournament lineups. Why you never play Hunter Renfrow in tournaments.
Auden Tate and Tyler Boyd are great week 11 values, but playing two Bengals is never a good idea. How Kyler Murray to Christian Kirk carried that day.
Christian Kirk has been adjusting to life in the NFL and officially came out with 10 receptions for 138 receiving yards and three touchdowns as he shredded the Tampa Bay “secondary.” He consistently got off the line a step ahead of coverage and straight up outran his man for his first two scores.
Darius Slayton saw 14 targets in the back and forth affair with the Jets, reeling in 10 for 121 and two scores, one of which where he did almost all the work himself on a mad dash through the entire Jets’ secondary. With Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram ailing, Slayton has a massive opportunity to capitalize on after the Giants Week 11 bye.
Marquise Brown has had an up and down fantasy season, but there’s no denying he’s the real deal. After an impressive win against New England’s top-ranked defensive unit, he and the Ravens head to Cincinnati to take on the No. 31 passing DVOA Bengals defense, per Footballoutsiders.
Tyreek Hill is one of the most efficient receivers in the game right now, which makes his matchup against Adoree’ Jackson even more appealing. His skill set as a separator on a per play basis is exactly the type to give Jackson trouble. He is a mismatch for nearly any defender in the NFL but in Week 10, he’s a mismatch standing in front of Jackson.
Considering the favorable matchup against Detroit, and the fact that Mitchell Trubisky hasn’t done much to keep the Bears on the field this season, fire up David Montgomery as he looks to keep the offense moving for the Bears in the second half of the 2019 season.
The Miami Dolphins currently allow +6.15 fantasy points above the mean to opposing running backs this season. If history is any indicator, Marlon Mack should be ready to feast. In a wheels up week, he should become the most recent player to run through, over and around the Dolphins.
In addition to strong volume and efficiency metrics, Chris Godwin draws a tantalizing matchup against a weak Arizona Cardinals secondary. He specifically projects to face off against Byron Murphy, who has allowed a 138.2 (No. 74 among qualified cornerbacks) Passer Rating Allowed in his coverage, setting up Godwin for a productive fantasy outing in Week 10.
With Brandin Cooks suffering his second concussion this year, Josh Reynolds stepped up to play a major role in the Rams’ offense last week. Reynolds played 88-percent of the Rams’ snaps, while receiving eight targets and generating 138 Air Yards. Priced at just $3,800, that volume deserves a long look on an already tight Week 10 slate.
Michael Thomas hasn’t scored fewer than 16 fantasy points in any contest. He leads all wideouts in Target Share, receptions and receiving yards. Thomas is top-five in Completed Air Yards, yards after the catch and red zone receptions. It’s no surprise that he is first in fantasy points per game among wide receivers.
Even with Mike Evans’ recent dominance, Chris Godwin is still sixth among qualified wide receivers in receptions and top-five in receiving yards and fantasy points per game. Considering the Cardinals pace of play, and that this game has the highest over/under of the week, Godwin’s Week 10 ceiling is massive.
Diontae Johnson has shown more consistency than any other Steelers receiver beside JuJu Smith-Schuster. He has an 86.7-percent (No. 27 among qualified wide receivers) True Catch Rate which, combined with his 2.58 (No. 1) Target Separation score, means he only needs consistent targets to flourish in the Steelers system.
Tarik Cohen used to be a dynamic fantasy player. He has seen his playing time decrease with the breakout of rookie running back David Montgomery. Cohen averages 30 yards per game with only one touchdown, and that simply won’t get it done. He hasn’t done much with the touches he has gotten, evidenced by his putrid 14 (No. 80) Yards Created.
Christian Kirk only saw five targets against a top-ranked 49ers defense, but he still saw a 20.8 percent target share in that game. Kirk has now seen at least 20 percent of Kyler Murray’s pass attempts in all but one game this season. Kirk has a high floor and should hit his ceiling in this game environment.
Calvin Ridley has already seen at least six targets in all but one game, and with the ceiling he possesses, Ridley is an obvious tournament lineup maker. With Matt Ryan due back under center, the Atlanta offense will be competent enough to keep pace with the electric Saints passing attack.
Kyler Murray is a lock button. Is Christian McCaffrey salary-proof?
D.J. Moore’s production has been pleasantly predictable. Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley have been impossible to predict.
Mike Gesicki is capable of dominating receiver-style routes from the tight end position based on his athleticism. He’s in the 96th-percentile or above in every athletic metric on PlayerProfiler. The Dolphins, as always, will be in a spot where they have to throw to stay in the game. They are 10-point underdogs to the Colts this week.
When efficient players are seeing volume and not producing, we buy and keep buying until they rebound. With Vegas backing the Saints as the best offense this Sunday, Alvin Kamara fits that bill more than any other player on the slate. They are 13-point favorites against the Falcons in a game with a 51-point total.
