Who To Pick Up For This Week
Picking players up is all about targetting weaknesses in matchups. Here, we are going to look at easier matchups. That is always a good place to start. I’m going to list out matchups to target, and the ESPN roster % of those players. I’m not going to list players that are wholly unrealistic to be available- this has to be useful after all!
QB Options
- Tua Tagovailoa MIA v ATL 27.2% rostered
- Carson Wentz IND @SF 24.7% rostered
- Teddy Bridgewater DEN @CLE 20.6% rostered
RB Options
I’m hoping you have depth pieces on your roster. But if you don’t:
- Rhamondre Stevenson NE v NYJ 16.8% rostered
- D’Ernest Johnson CLE v DEN 2.2% rostered
WR Options
- Randall Cobb GB v WAS 22.1% rostered
