At the time of writing, I have just returned from our year-old twins to the doctor's office for their one-year check-ups and injections. And the process of giving vaccines to a 1-year-old is brutal.
My children have very expressive faces (all the parents have already said, but still), so when we were holding them after the shots, they told us very clearly: "How can you?", A look that would break even the strongest of us. Ah, we, the fantasy owners, can understand the players we love and who hurt us this year.
Like Julio Jones, who is the No. 6 PPR receiver of the year despite zero touchdown. As I said last week, Jones's numbers do not suit me. If you complain about number 6, you have other problems. But on the moment, seeing Marvin's freaking Hall score a long touch, is so painful to watch.
[[[[Week 8: Fantasy Players Ranking]
· Like Jordan Howard, who every week teases with his potential, prevents homeowners from pulling him out of their queue because it's unlikely they'll have the best option even it's underestimated. You would simply prefer to know that you can put it on the bench or cut it off and finish with that.
Like the Jaguars' defense, which is 25th in the fantastic but seven weeks later, after being the # 1 consensus and seeing a far too large number of fantasy players flush it out this season. Better days should come, but if it does not scare everyone to prepare a defense early, nothing will ever do.
These are just empty thoughts as my children sleep with their blows. Now, let's get to the week in fantasy tips, enlightened by the tools and information gathered by our team at Pro Football Focus. I'm looking at some of the best and worst fantasy games of the week, starting with my # 1 shift of week 8:
Mismatch of the week
Adrian Peterson, RB, Washington
This section was originally written on Chris Carson, Seattle battling a Detroit team that made for quick and ridiculous successes this year. Of course, that changed on Wednesday morning, when the Lions traded against defensive tackle Damon Harrison of the Giants. Snacks might not reform Detroit's racing defense in the first place … but he could also do it. He has a PFF rating of 89.9 so far this season (91.5 versus the race). If the race at the stop changes the game, Harrison could be.
So, logically, we move towards the half on the march going against the team that lost Harrison. Only one other giant (Kerry Wynn) has a PFF score greater than 78.8 against the race. The number of tackles for Harrison is 12.62, the third rank among defensive linemen. Even if Wynn can get closer to Harrison's production … well, then who's getting closer to Wynn? The Giants are ready for a terrible defensive defense. Meanwhile, Peterson is the only relatively healthy and productive member of the offensive in Washington for a month. Chris Thompson and half of the receiving body were injured and Jordan Reed was disappointing. Washington will rely on Peterson against a defensive against the race to bad bad guys.
Good situations
Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
I hear the clicks of people who have dropped Dalton, or at least hastily pulled them out of their starting lineup, after his almost disastrous exit against Kansas City in Week 7. Well, Wait. Some reasons for this:
· Dalton and the Bengals are notoriously bad in prime time games. The match against Kansas City was a night game; the match against Tampa Bay in the eighth week is not. I do not think it's a factor, logically, but it would be interesting to note that do not have talk about.
· The Bengals have played three home games this year, including four on the road. Dalton has a 7: 1 touchdown: interception ratio in home games, 8: 7 on the road. The Sunday match is at home.
· The Chiefs' defense has been rejuvenated since its atrocious start to the year. (More on that later.)
David Johnson, RB, Cardinals of Arizona
Hard Factors: 49ers' defense is hogwash. His real weakness lies in pass coverage, with a coverage level of 37.6 points, but his downhill defense has a score of 65.6 and a score of 38.6. There is nothing to love there. Meanwhile, the Cardinals have seen rookie Josh Rosen fight, and now he's hurt himself. Johnson is the only point of logical attack.
[NFL Trade Roundup: See who’s going where]
Intangible factors: Arizona has changed offensive coordinator since the debacle against Denver. In By By Leftwich, who was retained by the Bruce Arians regime, knows how the former staff member intended to use his star on the defensive. And if you are a new CO, what are you going to do? If it's me, I rely on my supposed stallions to stand out from what made the old guy fired and make a good impression. It's a conjecture, but it's a very logical conjecture.
Adam Humphries, WR, buccaneers of Tampa Bay
The Bengals have allocated the 10th largest number of PPR points to broad opposing receivers. They did this despite a relatively small total of 7 hitches at the position; the team allowed 1,266 yards for their receivers (fifth maximum) and 100 receptions (tied for fifth). This does not bode well for Mike Evans (averaging 2.5 yards after the capture this year, 2.3 for his career) as for Humphries (6.9 YAC on average). In addition, Humphries had 13 targets in 3.5 games with Ryan Fitzpatrick as quarterback; He had 18 in 2.5 games since the return of Jameis Winston.
Mark Andrews, TE, Baltimore Ravens
Okay, so "Andrews" is the informed part of this question, and it's the hardest part. For this entry, you have to guess which of myriads of Baltimore gets the biggest workload of week 8, which could be the blocking point of this entry. That said, Andrews leads the Ravens' horns in targets (20), yards (163) and touchdowns (he only has 2) and is tied for the lead in receptions (14). Meanwhile, the only teams that Carolina is very close to (Baltimore's opponent for the 8th week) are welcome this year are Dallas (which has virtually no tight end in place) and the Giants (who did not have Evan Engram). Austin Hooper, Tyler Eifert, Vernon Davis and Zach Ertz feasted.
Bad situations
Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos
Our impressions are so marked by what we see in the first weeks of the season that people keep saying that the Chiefs are a sieve for QB. But although Kansas City is not a Legion of Boom legend, it has turned the corner into a skill. The Chiefs have allowed 8 touchdown passes in the first three weeks (with Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Jimmy Garoppolo, of course), but only three out of four since (against Keenum and Blake Bortles, but also with Tom Brady and Andy Dalton ). They held Keenum aimlessly. It's a defense that can do its job against below average competition. We have already seen that Keenum is one of the lower categories. Do not broadcast it.
Latavius Murray, RB, Minnesota Vikings
The teams are not even averaging 50 yards in their offensive midfielder's run against the Saints this year. They had a little more trouble countering the halves. Well, it's something Murray does not do. He has 14 targets in 7 games and has more than 2 targets at a time. To sum up, Kirk Cousins does not look beyond Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs – these two have already dominated 55.3% of the Vikings' targets, the most for a duo around the league. If you have Murray in your league long of a season, someone will trade him before returning from Dalvin Cook. Do a business.
Josh Gordon, WR, Patriots of New England
I buy Gordon for the full season. I'm selling it for week 8. In addition to the obvious factor "The Patriots are likely to ride in Buffalo and will not need to light it in the air," Buffalo's best defense game is let Tre'Davious White do his job. White has twice monitored the receivers in the past four weeks. Even though it was not a shady spot in week 7 against T.Y. Hilton, the Colts star only had one reception for 8 yards in White's blanket. If it makes Gordon look in the eighth week, the Patriots will look elsewhere.
Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles
Team numbers against position can always be misleading if you do not look further. This is especially true in tight games, where a game can and often makes the difference in a successful week and a bitter failure. That said, the Jaguars seem to be the real tradeoff against tight goals this year. They faced Evan Engram, Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce this year, but they allowed only one touchdown to the position, and Gronkowski and Kelce are the only tight ends for the top 35 yards against them. Ertz is still clearly a TE1, but its ceiling is lower this week than it has been in a while.
