Do not make the mistake of forgetting that kick and punt return touchdowns contribute to fantasy defenses’ point totals. Tyreek Hill is absolutely deadly while returning kicks and punts, thus making Kansas City’s defense particularly valuable.

The beauty is we don’t have to imagine what Javorius Allen’s ceiling looks like. We saw it in 2015 when he was a top-5 fantasy running back down the stretch, including a 35 point game, fueled by a mind-bending 12 receptions.

Javorius Allen’s profile is in stark contrast to Terrance West. Remember, Terrance West was cut by an 0-16 Browns team. Again, Terrance West was cut by an 0-16 Browns team.

Coming out of Alabama, Henry was derided as a stiff, upright runner who needed “runway” to be successful. Fast-forward to today, and Henry is posting 92 yards on just 14 carries meanwhile fellow SEC steamroller Leonard Fournette wheezed out 40 yards on the same number of carries in the same contest.

With a rare combination of linebacker dimensions, explosive athleticism, and high end college production, he has no comparable player in the real world. For this reason, Henry’s Best Comparable on PlayerProfiler is Zangief from Street Fighter.

Despite the limited sample size (six carries, 31 yards), Orleans Darkwa has a chance to earn more touches in the running game and the passing game. Darkwa has the ability to make plays out of the backfield, notching a career high 37 receptions for 308 yards during his sophomore year at Tulane.

What better time for David Njoku to breakout than in a game where the Browns could have the ball early and often, while facing a passing defense that is 29th in passing yards allowed per game (308.0)? The stars have aligned for Njoku to put up stud fantasy football tight end numbers this week.

After losing the perfect satellite back Danny Woodhead in week one, the Ravens lost their best offensive lineman, Marshall Yanda for the year in week two. While these are certainly negatives for the Ravens offense, they are a quiet blessing for Allen’s fantasy owners.

The monster under Chris Carson’s bed at the moment is Seattle’s horrendous offensive line. With this in mind it will be wise to keep Carson on the bench until he proves that he can produce consistently.

Tarik Cohen’s best comparable player on PlayerProfiler.com is Darren Sproles. In fact, Cohen is the only player in the database that RotoUnderworld’s algorithm compared to Sproles based on advanced stats, metrics, and analytics profiles.

Carson Wentz has never had a receiver quite like Jeffery, it will be extremely interesting to see the chemistry they’ll build throughout the course of the season, and Wentz leverages Jeffery’s exceptional athletic profile.

Brandon Marshall’s combination of size and speed is a nightmare for cornerbacks, and it will pay dividends in fantasy leagues. He is a big receiver that will see lots of targets in the coming weeks, especially in the red zone after Marshall posted a 33.3- percent red zone target share just last season.

Kenny Golladay’s combination of college production and athleticism puts him in rare company. Most crucially, Golladay out-targeted Marvin Jones 7 to 2 last week, and the Lions are a pass-first, ask questions later team. Golladay has quickly become a must-have in all fantasy formats.

Allen Hurns was be a popular waiver wire target after Allen Robinson’s season-ending knee injury, but he is not the Jaguars best receiver. Marqise Lee was a better college prospect and easily Jacksonville’s most efficient receiver last season.

Luke Kuechly & the Carolina front seven absolutely smothered the San Francisco ground attack. Carolina should stack the box without fear against LeSean McCoy and the uninspiring Buffalo receiver corps.
