Fantasy Football – Fantasy Images of 32 NFL Teams Before Week 8

1 related

Jets RB Bilal Powell left Sunday's game with a neck injury. Isaiah Crowell was the back (32 shots, 12 touches), but Trenton Cannon (22 shots) made the most noise in place of Powell. The rookie was limited to four yards in two races, but captured four of the five targets for a record 69 yards. Cannon is interesting in leagues of more than 12 teams, but note that even if Powell is not qualified for a long time, Elijah McGuire is back in a week because of his foot injury during the off season. McGuire is a name to consider adding deeper leagues.

Texans WR Keke Coutee fell again, this time suffering from a thigh injury against Jacksonville. RB / WR Tyler Ervin and / or Vyncint Smith plan to replace him in Thursday's match against Miami, but none of them should be in line.

Opportunity alert

Throughout this article, I will refer to "OFP" and "OTD". OFP represents the fancy points adjusted according to the opportunities OFP is a statistic that weighs each pass / report / target and converts the data into a single number that indicates the possibility for a player to score fantastic points, or his total of fantastic points "planned". For example, if a player has an OFP of 14.5, it means that an average player in the league who saw the same workload in the same area of ​​the field would have scored 14.5 fantasy points. OTD works the same way, except that, instead of fancy points, it's about touchdowns.

That said, here is the ranking of week 7 of the PFP:

OFP ranking of week 7

Vikings WR Stefon Diggs has been limited to exactly 33 yards in back-to-back games, but this is not the time to panic. Diggs has totaled 19 targets in both cases and has reached a double-digit target in five of his last six games. He enjoys a target share of 25%, a career record in the OFP (116) and is the # 10 great recipient of fantasy despite his "slump". It is a good week to try to acquire Diggs via the trade.

Bear QB Mitchell Trubisky was only in 31.5% of the starting lineup in week 7, but it soon became clear that it needed to make further progress. The second-year setter finished among the top five ghosts in three consecutive appearances. His OFP player, 22.7 per game, is the eighth overall in the league and is followed only by Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes and Andrew Luck at quarterback. Trubisky scored 15 touchdowns and was 12 yards behind Cam Newton for the lead position in the rushing yards. He is a back-end QB1 coming soon.

The Steelers were on a bye in week 7 and yet RB James Conner He is still fifth in running back with a 125 OFP. Yes, Conner played well (+16 FORP) in relief from The Vein Bell, but the volume was the driving force behind his impressive production of scores. Conner has a score of 6.4 OTD (he has seven touchdowns) and 10 of his staves have entered his opponent's 5-yard line (second plus). Conner is a high-end RB1 as long as Bell is absent, but his sales volume will be very important if his teammate returns.

FOR P!

Now for our weekly update of FORP. FORP is the difference between the total fantasy points of a player and his OFP (or the expected total of fantasy points).

First, here are the players who have far exceeded their PPA and who are therefore candidates for an increase in fantasy production, assuming a similar workload:

Ravens WR John Brown has been on this list in recent weeks, or he is about to lose it, but he is back in time after reaching his seven targets for 134 yards and a score in 7th week. Brown jumped to the 13th goal of the wide receiver with a score of 103 OFP this season, which aligns well with 108 real fantasy points (15th more). Brown has been a little in full swing or losing momentum, but he sees enough work to allow the production of marginal WR2s until the end.

incredibly, Browns WR Jarvis Landry He is still fifth on this list despite 10 assists, 97 yards and 14 goals in day 14. The big day of Landry allowed him to score 26 fantastic points, which corresponds well to his 25 OFP. Landry is now third at the position in OFP this season, but ranks 19th in terms of fancy points. Expect other great days of Landry.

WR Titans Corey Davis He has enjoyed his share of volume this season, but he has also faced some very tough clashes against players like Xavien Howard, Casey Hayward, Tre & Davious White and the terrific Baltimore & Jacksonville half-corner bands . Davis struggled in most of these games, but delivered a big win against the Eagles (nine passes, 161 yards) and outshot 54 yards against Houston and Miami. The 95 OFP Davis (17th at the position) and 29% target share suggest that better days are coming after the 8th week of the team.

And these players have exceeded their OFP by the widest margin and are therefore candidates to see a dip in fantasy production:

Highest FORP 2018

Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders is a name to consider for creating commercial offers for this week. He sits third in the wide receiver in points of fantasy, but ranks 16th in the OFP rankings. Landing is one of the main reasons for this discrepancy. Sanders found the salary five times, but posted a 2.3 OTD. He was only targeted three times while he was inside the 6-yard line of the opponent and his three touchdown receptions required post-capture races. 8, 17 and 26 yards. He also has a 28-yard touchdown pass and a 35-yard run, which marks the only two touchdowns of his career that did not take place after a reception. Sanders also averages 10.1 yards per target and has captured 77% of his targets, two high-level career and probably unsustainable marks. Sanders is a good WR2, but he's a little on his head yet.

Instant Attack

RB Lions Kerryon Johnson rushed for 158 yards in 19 carries, while adding two catches for 21 yards on three targets against Miami on Sunday. Johnson, who accounted for only 38.1% of the starting lineups in the ESPN leagues in Week 7, has certainly benefited from Theo Riddick's absence, but the most important fact is that he beat Le Garrette Blount 19 to 10. 59% of offensives take their career turn with a seven-pass trajectory. He now averages 6.4 yards per race, followed only by Matt Breida (6.5) for the best of the league (minimum 40 races). Johnson finished Week 7 in the top 10 finalists, but he only scores his first weekly result, better than 25th. While Blount remains an important factor on the goal line and the return of pass specialist Riddick is looming, Johnson's fantastic range remains limited. Value it as a flex option.

Browns RB Nick Chubb did we think it would be: Carlos Hyde 2.0. Chubb was on the field for 41 of the team's 62 offensive playoffs and dealt 18 of the 19 scopes of the team by a halfback defenseman on Sunday. Chubb showed well, accumulating 80 yards and a score. As was the case with Hyde, however, Chubb did not make much noise in the passing game, failing to catch one of his two targets (although he had traveled 19 routes – two less than Duke Johnson Jr.). Chubb's confirmation as a Cleveland pilot means that it is now a weekly RB2 option, especially in non-PPR formats. It should therefore be well above the 38.5% doubling he had achieved this week when Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh in the eighth week.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup led the Cowboys with 81 yards and grabbed Dak Prescott's only touchdown pass in Sunday's loss to Washington. Gallup has been targeted only five times, but has now led Dallas receivers to stealth by snapshots and road trips every two weeks. Dallas may have found its new No. 1 receiver after trading for Amari Cooper, which hurts Gallup's prospects, but there is still a positive potential here. The Colorado State product is available in only 8.7% of the leagues and is a name to consider if you hide at the end of your bench after the end of week 8 of the team.

RB Chargers Melvin Gordon An inactive surprise in Week 7. In his place, Austin Ekeler played 42 of the team's 44 offensive shots, carried the ball 12 times and captured five of the seven targets. Justin Jackson helped with two staves and one target on five shots. The fantastic day of Ekeler has been disappointing as the Chargers have recorded their smallest number of offensive shots since 2007. Gordon is expected to return after the end of the 8th week, but if he misses more time, Ekeler will back in the mix RB1.

Titans WR Tajae Sharpe has locked its slot functions and continues to part with Taywan Taylor as the # 2 offensive target of the team. Sharpe led the team into targets (nine), receptions (seven) and rushing yards (101) on Sunday. He was on the field for 27 of the team's 34 assists and outperformed Taylor in four straight games. Tennessee are on a bye this week, but Sharpe should be added in the deep leagues and be considered for a spot in the 12-league teams after the 8th week.

Saints WR Tre Quan Smith played 50 of 69 possible shots and completed 21 of 31 passes in Sunday's Baltimore victory. Smith, as expected, replaces Ted Ginn Jr. in front of Michael Thomas. Smith's role as a deep threat (15.5 targets on average) will allow his targets to stay under control and make him a fantastic asset, but it is certainly part of the weekly flexible discussions. Upgrade to formats other than PPR.

49ers RB Raheem Mostert played a big role in the backfield of the 49ers and should have all your attention on waivers this week. While Matt Breida (five shots) fights again against injuries and Alfred Morris (20 shots) fights again against inefficiency, Mostert played Sunday a record 22 clicks record. He ran for 59 yards in seven races and caught the four targets for 19 yards. Mostert's 6.3 yards per run ranks fourth in the league among defensemen with more than 25 carries. He is the second best player in the background behind Breida and would be a viable flexible option if Breida faced up to the struggling Cardinals this week.

Jets TE Chris Herndon will set a career high with seven goals in week 7. On closer inspection, he played 23 clicks, his career low, and was limited to 10 passing routes. Herndon played a larger role earlier in the season, but made a run on 21% of the Jets' passes over the past two weeks. This is an intriguing prospect, but one that does not yet play a sufficiently important role to warrant consideration of TE1.

Rams WR Josh Reynolds led the offensive by fighting 51 snaps Sunday, but the Rams have built a mammoth lead in part. Reynolds only covered 15 of the 26 possible routes and was targeted once in the match. If Cooper Kupp remains absent, Reynolds will be just a desperate plague against Green Bay this week.

Hot questions

is Colts RB Marlon Mack now a viable weekly starter? Yes. Mack, who accounted for just 20.4 percent of ESPN league goals this week, went off for 159 yards and two goals in 21 hits. Finally healthy in back-to-back games, Mack was 252 yards in scrimmage and sixth in the fantasy point position for the duration. The Colts offense is the ninth in the league in touchdowns per game and Mack has become the best back defender. He should be in the lineup against Oakland this week and is an upcoming RB2 play.

Should I drop the eagles WR Nelson Agholor? In the leagues of 10 teams, yes. In leagues with more than 12 teams, he is no longer a bench player. After making his third-year debut last season, Agholor collapsed quite predictably in 2018. He was targeted seven times in good health, but was limited to six catches for 20 yards. He failed to eclipse 45 passing yards in five of seven games and scored a touchdown this season.

Do I have to bench Redskins TE Jordan Reed? It's a close call, but I can not blame you if you do it. Reed has failed to score 43 yards in three consecutive games and has not scored a touchdown since the first week. That's the bad. The good news is that Reed has scored more than seven goals in three games this season, earning him a 19% share. Think of it as a fringe of the top 10 fantasies.

Should I drop the Jaguars D / ST? Not necessarily. The unit finished 13th or worse in three consecutive outings, but was in the top 10 in three of its first four games. The Jaguars defense is still loaded with talent, including Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue, Malik Jackson, Marcell Dareus, Telvin Smith, Myles Jack, Jalen Ramsey, A.J. Bouye, Barry Church and Tashaun Gipson. It will be difficult for this unit to collapse very long, but with the Eagles and a bye on the bridge, it is advisable to find another short-term option.
