The “Lamar Jackson Era” is upon us. Dating back to college, Jackson had the 8th-deepest average throw distance. John Brown is one of the NFL’s signature field stretching wide receivers, and his 18.1 average target depth ranks No. 3 among qualified wide receivers. With the erratic Flacco at the helm through 10 weeks, Brown’s 64.2% catchable target rate ranks No. 103. 

Josh Adams is the minimum price on FanDuel and his HC said he was going to get more work. He is the cheapest way to get exposure to the highest-scoring game on the DFS slate. Adams has been efficient on his touches with the best Juke Rate and the 6th-most yards created per carry.

Marcus Mariota advocates are not allowed to take the L, and Jimmy Garoppolo was the most overrated quarterback in dynasty.

James Conner is a true NFL bell cow, and Aaron Jones is a must-play this week.

Josh Adams outplayed Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement during that time while seeing three red zone carries and averaging 6.8 YPC. That’s right on par with Adams’ 6.9 College YPC, which ranks in the 96th-percentile. He demonstrates that the efficient running style he perfected at Notre Dame translates well to the NFL.

A key to winning consistently in fantasy football is identifying potential breakouts before they happen. Stashing players that would become hot adds with a big game before any of your competitors have a chance to acquire them is a winning strategy in any format.

Making waiver claims or spending FAAB money based on fear of missing out on a player with more potential than current-day production is a problem that affects even the best fantasy gamers. But now that Jonnu Smith is finally showing signs of life and no one seems to care, it makes infinitely more sense to stash him for free.

Corey Davis is an under-the-radar target hog. Is Maurice Harris a No. 1 wide receiver for an NFL team?

Joe Mixon is a bell cow when Giovani Bernard doesn’t play.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is the ideal value target on FanDuel for the Week 10 DFS Slate. His 97th-percentile speed score makes him a mismatch against Dolphins CB Bobby McCain.

Everyone knows Patrick Mahomes is a good play, but a sharp DFS player will see the benefits in rostering Marcus Mariota who is the 20th-priced QB for Week 10 and couples a rushing floor with a massive ceiling. The Titans will be in a shootout with the strong Patriots offense, placing Mariota in the perfect scoring environment to outperform his price tag.

From 2015-2017, Duke Johnson ranked first among running backs in targets (242), receptions (189) and receiving yards (1,742). After a breakout game in Week 9, Johnson needs to be owned in all fantasy football leagues.

At 5-11, 220-pounds, Penny’s 111.2 (92nd percentile) Speed Score reflects an ideal combination of size and speed for an NFL back. In his final season at San Diego State, Penny showed off his all-purpose skillset by rushing for over 2,000 yards, scoring an eye-popping 23 touchdowns, and another 19 receptions for 135 yards and two scores. It’s clear Penny is cut out to be a bell cow back in the NFL.

Latavius Murray is a cash play if Dalvin Cook doesn’t play.

A key to winning consistently in fantasy football is identifying potential breakouts before they happen. Stashing players that would become hot adds with a big game before any of your competitors have a chance to acquire them is a winning strategy in any format.

While Trenton Cannon has filled in admirably for Bilal Powell, Elijah McGuire was the one threatening Powell’s role before the season began. If Cannon could turn nine targets over the last two weeks into 16.5 fantasy points, imagine what McGuire (a more proven pass-catcher at the NFL) could do as the primary pass-catching back for the oft-trailing Jets.
