- π‘ DeAndre Hopkins is identified as a prime buy-low candidate due to his talent and underperformance, despite a potential lower target share.
- π Odell Beckham Jr. is also considered a buy-low target, with the belief that he should be performing better than his current draft position.
- π― Tyler Boyd is recommended as a buy-low target due to his involvement in the passing game, despite a lack of recent touchdowns, especially with John Ross out.
- π Josh Gordon is discussed as a potential buy-low, with favorable upcoming matchups against teams ranked low in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers.
Sell High Candidates
- π Wayne Gallman is a sell-high candidate due to concerns about upcoming difficult matchups and the potential return of Saquon Barkley.
- π¨ Chris Godwin is a sell-high candidate if top-end value can be obtained, as he is currently overperforming and coming off a game with favorable conditions for compiling stats.
- π Austin Hooper is a sell-high candidate, especially if owning two tight ends, due to the offense's target distribution and the belief that he is not an elite tight end.
Player News and Analysis
- π Sony Michel is highlighted for his struggles, with a reported zero percent broken tackle rate, leading to questions about his long-term viability as a lead back.
- π Joe Flacco is noted for having a surprisingly strong statistical start to the season, with career-high completion percentage and on pace for significant yardage, though future performance in colder weather is a question.
- π Courtland Sutton is seen as a breakout candidate with a good profile and efficiency, meshing well with Joe Flacco, while Emmanuel Sanders is noted for his quick return from injury.
- β Kyler Murray's air yards have significantly decreased in recent weeks, shifting the offense to shorter passes, impacting players like Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk, but benefiting David Johnson.
Thursday Night Football Preview: Rams vs. Seahawks
- π Russell Wilson is favored over Jared Goff, with his performance dependent on the Rams' ability to score and force Seattle to pass.
- π― Jared Goff is a concern, especially on the road, and is ranked lower than several other waiver wire options like Andy Dalton and Gardner Minshew.
- π Chris Carson is a start, but with some risk due to the potential return of Rashaad Penny, while Austin Ekeler is projected for a significant role even with Melvin Gordon's return.
- π― Tyler Lockett is a recommended start, especially if Russell Wilson throws less than 30 passes, while DK Metcalf is not trusted.
Fantasy Feud and Worryometer

- π€ DJ Moore received a 6.5 on the worryometer due to a decreased target share with Kyle Allen at quarterback.
- π JuJu Smith-Schuster received a 9 on the worryometer due to concerns about his performance and the Steelers' passing game.
- β οΈ Devonta Freeman received a 10 on the worryometer due to concerns about his role and potential competition from Ito Smith.
