Fantasy football players who miss the elite quarterback quartet can still take a pair of strokes to position themselves boldly for a championship.
Choosing Texas receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the first round is not shocking. After all, Hopkins is coming out of a 2017 season that saw him catch 96 passes for 1,378 yards and 13 touchdowns. In the past three seasons, Hopkins has been targeted 518 times despite offensive struggles from the Houston offensive.
He then takes a quarter of Texans Deshaun Watson where the pencils and jaws will fall.
The halfbacks have taken over the top of most drafts and logical logic suggests waiting for the fourth or fifth round to consider a quarterback in the standard leagues. In this case, discard the logic aside and exit the safety zone to roll the dice on what will be the best duo available. Even with questions about his knee surgically repaired, Watson is so good and has the potential to spot any unnamed running back Todd Gurley II, The Vein Bell, David Johnson or Ezekiel Elliott.
Moving at high risk? Why, yes, Watson still averages 43.2 fancy points in his last five starts before tearing an ACL. Watson conceded all of his 19 touchdown passes, except one, with six of those passes to Hopkins, who averaged 95.6 yards and 9.4 goals per game. With Watson at the helm, Hopkins accumulated an average of 16.2 fantasy points per game, which allowed them to accumulate 59.4 fantasy points between the duo.
Bringing the market to a QB-WR combo is worth the risk, especially when the fantastic players consider that the Texans open the regular season with five consecutive games against the opponents (at the Patriots, at the Titans, against the Giants, at the Colts, against the Cowboys) who were in the 21st or worse in the fantastic points allocated to the receiving receivers. In a potential playoff scenario in weeks 15 and 16, Houston gets the Jets (19th) and Eagles (24th), which gives even more appeal to the game.
Missing the top two ranks at Back running means following the Hopkins-Watson combo with a catcher such as Larry Fitzgerald of the Cardinals (or a tight end as Zach Ertz of the Eagles or Chiefs Travis Kelce), strengthening the team in a PPR format. The fourth round will find a solid back or two like Jordan Howard of the Bears.
If Watson is in good health and the Texans attack is as good, a fantasy title might be in sight.
TAKEN IN A LINK
Yankees catcher, Gary Sanchez (groin), will be out until the end of August, leaving his fantastic baseball owners in a difficult situation. There is some relief on the wire of the derogation, while Elias Diaz, the goalkeeper of the Pirates, appeared as a solid hitter (.286 batting average, seven homers, 25 RBIs) and Omar Narvaez of the White Sox strikes quietly .285 with modest power figures. 19659002] There is no complete replacement for Sanchez, but Diaz and Narvaez offer reasonable options to keep sound production behind the board.
KEEPING WITH JONES
Young Erik Jones ($ 9,600 / FanDuel, $ 8,400 / DraftKings) He finished 16th in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in New Hampshire last week, but has a good opportunity to start again on Sunday at Gander 400 in Pocono. Jones arrives this weekend after scoring at least 21 points in seven of his last nine races
Jones, who won at Daytona earlier this month, is a good choice as he looks to end a month impressive July. 19659002] ___
