The memes make us laugh, but this week Jay Cutler is going to put up fantasy points against a Tampa Bay pass defense that ranks 20th in Football Outsiders DVOA. Defending the 6-3 Alshon Jeffery will be a challenge as the top three Buccaneers cornerbacks are all 5-10.

Very quietly, Tyreek Hill has caught three touchdowns over his last five games. As the most explosive receiver on the roster, he’s also been used in the backfield on occasion, totaling 51 rushing yards over the last three games. Chris Conley (quad) will also be a factor with Maclin sidelined assuming he’s able to play.

J.J. Nelson, Tyreek Hill, and DuJuan Harris are two small players with exciting advanced stats and metrics profiles indicating immanent fantasy football breakouts.

Darren Sproles ranks No. 10 among NFL running backs in Yards Per Touch, Targets, and receiving yards and has been his usual slippery, jitterbug self, and could provide some value down the stretch with an increased workload.

The waiver wire hunt ends with J.J. Nelson. The RotoUnderworld Team provides ten players, including Nelson, to target across fantasy football formats.

The SPARQ-y DuJuan Harris is an athletic player, who catches passes and was recently productive after an increase in opportunity. It is great to be alive in a ZeroRB world.

We offer four Sunday morning fantasy football pick-ups based on advanced stats & metrics profiles. Add Jay Cutler, DuJuan Harris, Brian Quick and Lance Kendricks before they become next week’s waiver targets.

Brian Quick represents an ideal efficiency and schedule-driven pickup. A long-time favorite of the metrics community, whose efficiency metrics are at the top of the WR position, Quick has been steadily working his way into weekly flex consideration with four double digit games on the year.

Play Blake Bortles in week 9 against Kansas City’s good-not-great pass defense (-7.6-percent DVOA) in the first week that fantasy experts are allowing Blake Bortles’ unsightly aesthetic to actually influence his fantasy football ranking.

Amari Cooper headlined week 8’s winning Millionaire Maker lineup on DraftKings.com. This week, Cooper’s match-up is significantly more challenging, but his tournament-winning upside is still present.

Not only is Colin Kaepernick the top quarterback streamer this week at home against the woeful New Orleans Saints defense, he’s also a top-10 play at his position in the Player Profiler Weekly Player Rankings.

Aside from a big performance against the 49ers back in Week 3, Christine Michael has been lackluster in gaining yardage. This matchup against the Buffalo Bills is far from ideal, but the likelihood for double-digit touches makes Prosise more than serviceable in a streaming setting given the surprising availability.

Fade the nicknames, just add Charcandrick West. The RotoUnderworld Team provides ten players, including West, to target across fantasy football formats.

Now that Bruce Arians has placed J.J. Nelson on the the “starter” pedestal, show him your respect. The ultimate burner, Nelson ran a 4.28 40 Yard Dash (100th percentile), and over the last two games, Nelson has received a healthy 19 targets.

The fact that Philip Rivers is Melvin Gordon’s quarterback matters a lot. If you think that doesn’t matter, look at the season Lamar Miller is having with Brock Osweiler, or Todd Gurley with Case Keenum. In fact, the Houston Texas as a team are tied with Melvin Gordon in total offensive touchdowns.

The second running back the Chargers have selected in the first round over the past 5 years, San Diego is clearly pining for the next LaDainian Tomlinson, and while Gordon is not LaDainian Tomlinson, he did post above-average metrics across the board, and combined with elite college production and guaranteed NFL opportunity.

Fire up Osweiler as a low-end fantasy QB1 in week 8 throwing to high caliber weaponry: DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller, and C.J. Fiedorowicz.

If the Bills scheme to take away Gronk, Martellus Bennett will be the greatest beneficiary this week.

We offer four Sunday morning fantasy football pick-ups based on advanced stats & metrics profiles. Add Jared Goff, C.J. Prosise, Kenny Stills and Ladarius Green before they become next week’s waiver targets.

Aside from having college production and measurables worthy of making him the draft’s top selection, Jared Goff would benefit from having the sixth-friendliest upcoming fantasy schedule for the QB position, a recipe for a profitable late-season QB streamer.
