Preview of the week 7

Some weeks it is more difficult to withdraw from chalk than others. It's one of those weeks.

With the Carlos Hyde, Nick Chubb became an automatic game and his low price made it much easier to integrate number 1 without fail, Todd Gurley. This could lead to a situation where we get a 30% stake in the combination of Gurley and Chubb. It means two things:

1. It will be very difficult to stand out in a tournament if you play these two.
2. It will be almost impossible to make a profit if you erase them and do what we expect.

Whether you take this risk or not, you will need some contrarian in your range. Here you are.

As always, I use the property projections of @UFCollective. You can get their full property projected here.

Blake Bortles faces a Texans defense that gives 8.2 yards per attempt and nearly 280 yards per game in the air. At the same time, he limited the opponents to less than 4 meters per race.

The whole discussion about Jacksonville this week is about Carlos Hyde's trade, but that does not seem to have a big impact on Week 7. Historically, when Leonard Fournette missed the necessary time, this became a more exciting offense and the The gags face a defense that invites you to throw it.

With everyone playing Gurley and Chubb, you'll see a lot of underused mid-run half-timers. This includes T.J. Yeldon, Latavius ​​Murray and Adrian Peterson. Peterson plans to be the lowest owner even though he may have the most potential.

This match between Washington and Dallas is a slugfest inefficient. These types of games are usually bad for Fantasy, but maybe not for Peterson. It's not hard to imagine with over 20 touches and, with Chris Thompson, he could also see some work in the passing game.

Dede Westbrook is an excellent stacking game with Bortles, but it's not bad either. In fact, all receivers in Jacksonville are in play. Because of the difficulty in projecting their targets week after week, you can not trust any of these players in the money games, but these are the only things you can do. excellent tournament games booming.

I prefer Westbrook because he is the best receiver of the team. Its catch rate of 71% is ahead of Jacksonville and its 14.4 years / year are better than those with at least 12 targets.

Chester Rogers would have been chalk this week if he had not had the return of T.Y. Hilton. I'm just not sure it should change everything. The Colts will be without Ryan Grant, so there are enough targets to get around. Add to that that Hilton is in his first game and that he has to deal with Tre & Davious White, and Rogers may well be the Colts best receiver today. But you must not believe that to play it at this price and this property.
