Here are five players you should pick up this week and five players you should drop. As always, we are just advising you to do the smart thing.
ADD EM!
1. Jamaal Williams, RB, Packers: With both Aaron Jones and Ty Montgomery out this week against the Ravens, adding the BYU rookie makes sense. Expect Williams to get a heavy workload as the Packers continue to use a balanced approach offensively.
2. Marquise Lee, WR, Jaguars: Lee has been targeted 39 times in his last four games. He has become the Jaguars number one receiver thanks to injuries to Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns and he is making the most of it. Lee is only owned in roughly 42% of espn leagues and 50% of Yahoo and CBS Sportsline leagues. If he is there, grab him.
3. Corey Davis, WR, Titans: The rookie wide out was targeted ten times last week which means the Titans are making an effort to get him the ball. It is only a matter of time before he develops a chemistry with Marcus Mariota so grab him while you can.
4. Austin Hooper, TE, Falcons: Hooper has been targeted at least six times in five of the last six games. He is carving out a bigger role in the Falcons offense which could come in handy down the stretch.
5. Austin Ekeler, RB, Chargers: I am all in on Ekeler. He has played more snaps than Melvin Gordon the past two weeks and has become a reliable third down target. The Chargers like to rotate their backs so Ekeler has flex value.
DROP EM!
1. Tyrod Taylor, QB, Bills: The Bills have officially tanked the rest of the season by benching Taylor. Nate Peterman will be the quarterback the rest of the season barring injury. Drop Taylor.
2. Will Fuller, WR, Texans: Fuller’s value went to hell when Deshaun Watson got hurt two weeks ago. The days of WFV making big plays are over.
3. Mike Gillislee, RB, Patriots: Gillislee is officially in Bill Belichick’s doghouse. That means he has no fantasy value for at least two weeks if not more. Given his lack of production the past six weeks, it is time to cut ties with Gillislee.
4. Bills Defense: I streamed the Bills defense against the Jets two weeks ago. They got me zero points. Since then, they have fallen off a cliff surrendering 47 points last week to the Saints. Buffalo’s young secondary has been exposed and the lack of a pass rush doesn’t help.
5. Chris Ivory, RB Jaguars: Ivory was a valuable handcuff two weeks ago but he has since disappeared in the Jags offense. Open up a spot by cutting and filling another need.
