On the season, Ronald Jones has been elusive, with a 30.0-percent (No. 9 among qualified running backs) Juke Rate and 1.88 (No. 6) Yards Created Per Carry. If he sees 15 to 20 touches a game, he is capable of pounding out four yards per carry. Which makes him a playable option in season-long leagues.  

With Will Dissly’s unfortunate injury, Jacob Hollister has been summoned. Thus far, the Seahawks have only used him on about half of the team’s snaps. If they begin to put him on the field at the same rate that they were using Dissly, around 80-percent of snaps, he will do Dissly-like things. The hard part is drawing Russell Wilson’s eye, and Hollister clearly has his attention. 

It was an expected shootout with Tampa Bay with Russell Wilson unsurprisingly delivering in a massive way. Wilson had a season-high 43 attempts and was highly efficient, finishing 29 of 43 for 378 yards and five scores. Wilson fed D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett all day, the latter finally having a sky-high ceiling game after a consistent start to 2019.

In a true playoff preview-type game, Lamar Jackson came out on top over the Patriots. Jim Harbaugh is now 13-1 as a home underdog, and continues to tailor his gameplan around the elusive, constantly improving Jackson. He now has his team is in prime position to play a little January football.

If there’s one thing Derrick Henry has been this season, it’s consistent in his weekly touches. Now he has a chance to take his high-volume work load into Carolina. The Panthers allow +4.71 fantasy points above the mean to opposing running backs this season, despite boasting one of the best middle linebackers in Luke Kuechly.

Josh Jacobs has been another high-volume running back through the 2019 campaign, boasting a 65.1-percent (No. 18 among qualified running backs) Opportunity Share while averaging 15.3 (No. 15) Fantasy Points Per Game and 88.6 (No. 6) rush yards per game. He has dominated in red zone touches through Oakland’s first seven games, racking up 23 (No. 9) thus far.

Egregiously priced at $6,600 at DraftKings, Odell Beckham ranks 11th among qualified wide receivers in targets (61) and Air Yards (722) despite already having his bye. Beckham is playing as the focal point of Cleveland’s offense and owns a 2.11 (No. 6) Target Separation mark.

Priced well below the group of tight ends at the top, Zach Ertz remains Philadelphia’s target leader with 64. In fact, his 7.9 targets per game rank fourth among tight ends, while his 75.4 air yards per game rank third. While Ertz leads the position with six drops, his target volume remains secure enough to target him in DFS.

Has Melvin Gordon hit rock bottom? Aaron Jones is true bell cow.

Matt Moore is cash viable. Allen Lazard continues to impress.

Jaylen Samuels would be set up for a monster workload if James Conner can’t suit up. At 6-0, 225-pounds, Samuels has the size to handle bell-cow touches. He also has the pass-catching talent with his background as a tight end at N.C. State with a 20.2 (97th-percentile among qualified running backs) College Target Share.

Marvin Jones came back down to Earth against the Giants after flashing his upside against the Vikings in Week 7, but he has a shot at bouncing back this week. He has an incredible ceiling every week due to his eight (No. 3) red zone targets and his 13 (No. 8) Deep Targets. Plus, he has a matchup with Trayvon Mullen, who ranks No. 150 in PlayerProfiler’s cornerback rankings.

Is there a hotter running back in fantasy football right now than Aaron Jones? He has finished as the overall RB1 twice in the last four weeks, averaging 29.3 Fantasy Points Per Game over that span. Jones now leads the NFL in total touchdowns and is behind only Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook in Fantasy Points Per Game among running backs.

Last week was the Mike Evans show with Chris Godwin being to 43 yards on four receptions, but this will be the week Godwin gets back on track against a vulnerable Seattle secondary. The Seahawks have allowed the third most passing yards and were just picked apart for 460 yards by Matt Schaub in Week 8.

Christian Kirk offers stretch-run upside in the form of a stable floor combined with dependable volume in a pass-heavy offense, and he makes a perfect buy-low target for those with playoff aspirations. Given his stable floor, locked-in volume and impending positive TD regression, he’s an ideal target for teams seeking an edge for the playoffs.

Mecole Hardman’s snap percentage bottomed out to a season-low of 16.1 in Week 8, when he ran a mere four routes and saw two targets. Yet he still caught his fourth touchdown of the season and had 55 receiving yards. Capitalize on Hardman’s recent production now and sell high in redraft

This week, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and the Bucs travel to Seattle to play in a game with the highest total of the slate at 51.5. The more pass iterations this team runs, the more chances Godwin has to capitalize on his efficiency advantage over Evans. Let other people chase Evans’ terrific performance from last week and roster the better player in Godwin.

The takeaway from Denver’s quarterback change should be to buy Brandon Allen at $4,100 on DraftKings, as well as his receiving options. Noah Fant, who led the team last week with eight targets, is only $3,000. The duo is a great cheap stack on a slate with little value elsewhere.

Mark Walton has seen his carries increase for several weeks now, and the trade deadline was kind to him. The Dolphins shipped off Kenyan Drake to Arizona, making Walton the starter in Miami. He was able to consume a Snap Share above 90.0-percent in Week 8, putting him in feature back territory going forward. 

The prevailing theory was that Marquez Valdes-Scantling was expected to take over top receiving duties while Davante Adams has been hurt, but that has not come to pass. His 15.0-percent (No. 69 among qualified wide receivers) Target Share and 55.0-percent (No. 77) Catch Rate are abysmal.
