STRATEGIST
Beginning of the week: Ben Roethlisberger vs. Chiefs: Big Ben is coming out badly last week in Cleveland. He turned the ball more than five times in the tie, throwing three choices and losing two fumbles, but he did not deserve the blame on a number of them. The Steelers are now returning home to face a Chiefs defense that was completely attacked by Philip Rivers in the first week of arriving at General QB3 after scoring 424 yards and three touchdowns. The day should have been even greater for the Chargers' offense, but Tyrell Williams missed a 34-yard touchdown, Rivers missed on a 31-yard score earlier, and Travis Benjamin managed a spend more than 50 yards. his hands, as well as a potential touchdown 20 yards later in the fourth quarter. Kansas City has revised his high school during the off-season and still needs to see Eric Berry back from the Achilles / Heel problems. (Berry disengaged from the training session on Wednesday.) Without Berry, the Chiefs were totally flamed. The new CBs Kendall Fuller and Orlando Scandrick have had atrocious afternoons at LA and are now dealing with Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster. Chiefs-Steelers has the highest total on the board with 52.5 points. The Steelers' default total of 28.25 points is the third highest in Week 2.
departures
Jimmy Garoppolo against the Lions: Garoppolo lost his first career game last week in Minnesota, throwing three interceptions. He dropped some shots on the field, but suffered a quick blow with Marquise Goodwin's loss on a thigh injured in the second quarter. Garoppolo subsequently had a good relationship with George Kittle, targeting his tight end nine times and catching five of those for 90 yards. The two could easily have a longer afternoon. Kittle dropped what could have been an 80-yard touchdown with no one within five yards of him, and Garoppolo immediately made a six-goal decision in the next game. Garoppolo also missed Kittle over the defense with a long touchdown. He then passed his tight goal in the end zone, which should have been a four-yard score. The Niners are now coming home for a much easier game against a Lions defense that has taken over the Jets in Week 1. Detroit is now on a short week and needs to go to the West Coast. This match has the third highest total at 48 points, and the default total of 27.25 in San Francisco is the fourth highest in the second week. We are already saying that the Lions are fed up with new coach Matt Patricia. him last Monday night. The Niners are in an excellent rebound zone.
DeShaun Watson at Titans: It was a very disappointing first match for Watson, who finished QB21 last week after completing only 50% of his passes for 176 yards with a score and a choice. He added 40 yards on the ground but also lost a fumble. Watson held the ball too long at times but he was shorthanded without Will Fuller (hamstring), who should be back this week. The good news is that Watson played aggressively after his rift at the ACL, took field shots and did not have any real worries about his game. In the Titans, Watson gets a defense that allowed Ryan Tannehill to complete more than 71% of his passes against them in Week 1, while hitting Kenny Stills for two touchdowns. Tennessee fired Tannehill once and showed very little sign of life in the rush department. Watson threw four touchdowns against the Titans last week 4.
Alex Smith vs. Colts: Smith played about as well week 1 as the Redskins could have hoped against the Cardinals. he did not return the ball and took what the defense gave him, methodically working the ball on the ground. Washington had 30 first tries last week, the second in the league behind the Chargers. They finished sixth in third place. Smith completed 70% of his passes at a clip of 8.5 YPA, surgically getting the ball to his best playmakers in Jordan Reed and Chris Thompson, who looked quite healthy after the injuries of last season. The two combined for 10 catches for 111 yards and a pair of scores. It was easy to see that they would be Smith's favorite targets. The Skins get a hard-to-try Colts defense that will have to rely on hard work this season. Indy is undermined at all three levels and really has no answer for A.J. Green and Joe Mixon last week. Andy Dalton shot 75% of his shots and was QB16. Smith brings an additional element of precipitation capacity to help lift his floor. The Redskins also have arguably the best offensive line in the sport, while the Colts have one of the weakest rush groups. A week after the arrival of QB11, Smith is up to the task, with the Redskins team's all-time low of 26.5 points, fifth in the standings.

A week after the arrival of QB11, Smith is up to the task, with the Redskins team's all-time low of 26.5 points, fifth in the standings.
Ryan Fitzpatrick vs Eagles: Fitzpatrick had a magical week 1 with top scorers and quarterbacks, nearly 11 points ahead of Drew Brees, his counterpart last week. He was surely a leading player among fantasy owners in pursuit of 417 yards and four touchdowns, adding a fifth touchdown as a runner. Bucs' attack shines with some of the league's best offensive liners, but it's hard to catch up with the Fitzpatrick at home against the Super Bowl champions after such a thrilling division. . road victory last Sunday. The Eagles blocked Matt Ryan in their first game and will have 10 days off Sunday. Ryan averaged 5.84 YPA and threw zero touchdowns last Thursday night. Philly is sinking with the passers, so much so that they had to let go of DE Vinny Curry, and he is now one of Tampa Bay's upscale. Fitzpatrick may also be without serious threat DeSean Jackson after suffering a concussion in the first game. Jackson caught five balls for 146 yards and two points before being injured. Fitzpatrick is a bland week 2 for me.
Kirk Cousins at Packers: Cousins did well last week against the Niners, finishing in QB9 for the week after scoring for 244 yards and a pair of points. With the Vikings up by three points at the end of the second half, they did not have to throw the ball much, limiting the backs of the Cousins. He will now take his first road test in the North Division of the NFC. Green Bay held Mitchell Trubisky at 4.9 YPA last week and did not touch the passes. The high school is much better this year after additions of veteran Tramon Williams and rookies Jair Alexander and Josh Jackson in the first round to accompany the second and second, Kevin King, and veteran FS Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. The passing race is still a bit worrisome, but Nick Perry is back in good health and Muhammad Wilkerson has been added to the front. Cousins are by no means a bad option. I just think there are better games in quarterback leagues than cousins on the road in a match with an average total of 46.5 points.
Russell Wilson at Bears: Wilson was not bad last week in Denver, finishing tied with Kirk Cousins as QB9 overall, but he was sacked six times, twice intercepted and lost to Doug Baldwin after a second knee injury. couple games. Wilson was already working with a rather sterile closet and had to rely on rookie TE Will Dissly and veteran WR Brandon Marshall after Baldwin's injury. The Seattle offensive line remains a total disaster and LT Duane Brown had to leave the match for whatever reason. (Seattle will have no injury until Thursday afternoon.) Khalil Mack, Akiem Hicks and Leonard Floyd are going to have trouble in Chicago. All that teamed with Brian Schottenheimer, who played the role of Wilson's player, made me lose the MVP candidate this year. Schottenheimer's favorite style only stunts Wilson's potential. The passing of 43.5 points for Seattle-Chicago is the third lowest of the week. "Data-reactid =" 27 ">Is sitting

COME BACK
Beginning of the week: James White at Jaguars: White's teammate Rex Burkhead was initially in this box, but he jumped on the injury report on Wednesday afternoon with a concussion. This could leave whites and newcomer Kenjon Barner behind the Patriots, and Barner just signed on Tuesday. White led the Patriots with nine targets in the first game, catching four goals for 38 yards and a score where he was left open for 12 yards. White was also the only patriot to get a carry in the red zone, even if it was surpassed 18-5 by Burkhead. Jeremy Hill tore his ACL in the win and is obviously made for the season. Jacksonville is a serious test, but White and Rob Gronkowski should be the way to success for New England in attack if Burkhead is forced to sit. Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye should lock everything on the perimeter. The Jaguars bottled Saquon Barkley for most of his NFL debut last week, but Barkley managed to win one for 68 yards and finish 18-106-1 with two catches for 22 yards on six targets . Last year at Jacksonville, RB Dion Lewis, who was leading, scored eight goals, which is good for second place. Look for whites to be potentially more present in this region on Sunday.
departures
Alfred Morris vs Lions: Morris took the start against the Vikings last week and looked good in his first handful of litters, collecting gains in pieces with relative ease. The Niners then crossed the 10-yard line in the first half and gave the rock to Morris four times in the six-yard line. Morris was unable to convert all four for the touchdowns, losing a fumble on his last. Adrian Peterson and he have received three high staves in the last five weeks. It's a good sign for Morris's touch potential, but he obviously needs to score on them. Even after the breakaway, coach Kyle Shanahan was not afraid to return to Morris. The game just out of the handles of the Niners in the second period, trailing by 18 points at a given moment, so it is mainly Matt Breida in the situations of pass-game and catch-up mode. The 49ers are coming home and are 6.5 point favorites with the fourth highest team total of Week 2 with 27.25 points. This puts perfectly on paper for Morris to get volume. Last week, the Lions were mistreated against the Jets, awarding 10.2 YPC and two touchdowns to Isaiah Crowell. Detroit has awarded a total of 6.32 YPCs to the Jets. Even if we drop Crowell's 62-yard score at the end of the fourth quarter, that figure remains a good 4.2 YPC. MLB 2017's first round, Jarrad Davis, was not very good at the professional level and 32-year-old Ricky Jean-Francois led all Lions TDs on Monday night. Stopping the race is going to be a problem all year long for Detroit.
Phillip Lindsay vs Raiders: The Broncos used a real three-point rotation in the first game against the Seahawks. Royce Freeman played 29 times against Lindsay (26) and Devontae Booker (19). Freeman and Lindsay (15-71-0) were identical, but Lindsay caught 2 of 3 targets for 31 yards and a touchdown while Freeman was not targeted in the pass. Play. Looking at both, Lindsay just seems more explosive and agile. Freeman did not seem to have much maneuvering in his game, choosing to try to cross the defenders rather than avoid them. Lindsay's weight is his size, but he has all the speed to burn and he's not that fast. Booker is clearly the worst of the three, but still manages to find a way to stay. He should be eliminated by Lindsay and Freeman shortly. The Raiders did not offer Todd Gurley any games in the first game and used big slow linebackers in Derrick Johnson and 35-year-old Tahir Whitehead. Oakland also lost two of his top three DTs, Justin Ellis and P.J. Hall, injured, Week 1. Lindsay is out of step with speed and is well suited to Case Keenum, who likes to get rid of the ball in short areas. Lindsay did not feel like a stroke of luck, especially after working a lot with those in the pre-season.
Chris Thompson vs Colts: This may seem obvious after Thompson's big game as a general RB5 last week against the Cardinals, but there are people who are in-house discussing Thompson's queues. Thompson shot his 11 touchdowns in 128 yards and a touchdown last Sunday in the desert, coming back from the broken leg in 2017. His two targets in the red zone allowed Jordan Reed to take the lead in the team, and he is Clear that Alex Smith will like Thompson as pass passer, as he did previously with Kareem Hunt and Jamaal Charles in Kansas City. The Colts were mistreated by double threat Joe Mixon in the first week, allowing 149 yards and one touchdown on 22 hits. Mixon kills them as a receiver, making big gains on screens. Thompson has the winning lead in the league as a midfielder mid-summer this summer. He has a legitimate advantage over RB1 in PPR leagues and should be treated as an RB2 in all formats. His teammate Adrian Peterson is also in the RB2 home mix this week with the Redskins as a six-point favorites.
Is sitting
Peyton Barber vs. Eagles: Barber looked good in the first period against the Saints, carrying the rock eight times for 50 yards. Things did not go as well in the second half as the Bucs tried to save time, with Barber finishing 19-69-0 without a pass. The good news is that Barber has distanced himself from the rest of his backfield comrades. Rookie Ronald Jones was inactive the first week and Jacquizz Rodgers hit the ball just three times. The volume should not be a problem for Barber, but this week's game against the Eagles does not seem optimistic. Last year, Philly granted the lowest number of rushing yards in the league and the second-largest fantasy shows halfbacks, finishing second in DVOA. They went back to where they found themselves in front of Atlanta in the first game, dropping the third lowest rushing yards in the first week. Barber was the RB31 last week. A similar perspective is reasonable, making it a RB3 on the rise.
Jamaal Williams vs Vikings: Williams started last week against the Bears, playing 37 shots on Ty Montgomery's 23, but Williams really struggled to get things moving on the field. He rushed 15 times for 47 yards scoreless and managed to catch none of his two targets. Williams has at least another week as lead dog before Aaron Jones' suspension is over, but he has another tough game inside the division. Minnesota was the No. 1 fantasy point allowed to roll back last season and maintained its pace by eliminating the Week 1 49ers game. Alfred Morris and Matt Breida combined the 3.65 YPC average. DVOA defense after a match. If for some reason, Aaron Rodgers (knee) does not play, this could increase Williams' potential volume. However, the Vikings would be quite able to get away from the race since DeShone Kizer was pitiful in his brief appearance Sunday night, throwing an interception and losing a fumble on just nine shots. Williams is in the Peyton Barber RB3 range.
The Sean McCoy vs. Chargers: In theory, McCoy should see heavy workloads week after week with inexperienced beginner shifts Nathan Peterman (Week 1) and Josh Allen (Week 2 and Beyond), but the total inability of these two passers-by to defenses opponents selling to stop McCoy and beat the quarterback. Until that happens, I can not, in good faith, launch McCoy into fantasy. He carried the ball seven times for a total of 22 yards (3.1 YPC) in the first game and saw only three targets, earning a shot for a loss of one meter. The Chargers were burned by Patrick Mahomes during the first week, but no one sees Allen this week doing what Mahomes did. And the Chargers' defense against the race was not the problem. They bottled Kareem Hunt, giving only 49 yards on 16 carries (3.06 YPC) to last year's pressing leader. Hunt also did not catch a pass. I am completely out of McCoy until this offense shows signs of life. Even at home, the Bills are outsiders with the second lowest total (17.75 points) of Week 2.
LARGE RECEIVER
Beginning of the week: Marvin Jones at 49ers: Jones was a WR2 pick up in the summer, after surprisingly setting the WR1 numbers in 2017 with 80 yards and / or one touchdown in all but three games after week 5. His week 1 against the Jets has left much to be desired box score, but Jones has always seen a healthy target eight-a-dozen, with some coming on deep balls that ended up with barely missed connections. One of them slammed his hands into the end zone, even though it was a very difficult grip. I'd like all this offense to bounce back Sunday in San Francisco. The Niners had no real answers for Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen in the first match. Richard Sherman has twisted several times against Diggs. Jones is the one who is most likely to see Sherman, 30, who does not look like his previous Achilles shot last year. Diggs also beat CB Ahkello Witherspoon for a 22-yard run on the left side last Sunday. The 48-point total for the Lions-49ers is currently the third highest total for the second week. There is a potential for shots on goal. It will be Jones and Kenny Golladay mainly outside, Golden Tate occupying the place.
departures
Cooper Kupp vs Cardinals: We return to the well with Kupp here after being registered in this space even last week. He responded to the Raiders with a 5-52-1 night and finished first in PPR WR16 for Week 1. Kupp and Robert Woods each had nine targets to lead the Rams, and Brandin Cooks was not far behind with eight targets. Cooks rely heavily on Patrick Peterson on Sunday, while Woods works against new players off CB Jamar Taylor. Kupp made 87.1% of his off-road tours in Week 1, the third highest clip in the league, and Budda Baker is in Arizona. Kupp (6'2 / 208) has a considerable advantage over Baker (5'10 / 195) and is Jared Goff's favorite target in the red zone. Un an après avoir mené les Rams dans les cibles à l’intérieur de la ligne des 20 mètres, Kupp en a obtenu trois lors de la soirée d’ouverture, ex-æquo au troisième rang de la ligue et converti de huit verges à un. Les Rams sont les plus grands favoris de la semaine 2, donnant à l'Arizona 13 points. L’équipe implicite de 29 de Los Angeles est à égalité avec les Saints pour le plus haut. Kupp est à nouveau un WR2 à la hausse.
Nelson Agholor chez Bucs: Agholor et Zach Ertz ont chacun vu 10 cibles de Nick Foles lors du match d'ouverture de jeudi soir contre les Falcons. Agholor est devenu difficile à attraper pour seulement 33 verges, Foles étant totalement incapable d'attaquer le terrain. Foles prend un autre départ ce dimanche et Alshon Jeffery (épaule) reste à l'écart. Cela laisse à nouveau Agholor et Ertz comme les deux veines principales du jeu de passes. Et le match contre les Bucs devrait être un peu plus facile. Le CB Brent Grimes, n ° 1 de Tampa, est toujours blessé à l’aine. CB Vernon Hargreaves a été victime d’une blessure au genou lors du premier match de la saison. Les Bucs se retrouvent avec un trio de coin de Ryan Smith en quatrième ronde 2016 et une paire de recrues de deuxième tour en Carlton Davis et M.J. Stewart. Les trois se sont combinés pour jouer 119 fois la semaine dernière contre les Saints et ont alloué une ligne de 11-143-2 sur 15 cibles, une bonne (mauvaise) note de 142.5. Stewart était le remplaçant de Hargreaves dans le créneau, et Agholor a parcouru plus de 52% de ses itinéraires là-bas au cours de la semaine 1. Aucun de ces virages ne devrait être craint. La semaine dernière, Tampa a cédé la troisième place au plus grand nombre de fantaisies. Les foles ont juste besoin de jouer un peu mieux. Agholor est très présent sur le radar WR2 / 3.
Allen Robinson vs Seahawks: Robinson a eu un été calme alors qu'il continuait son retour de la chirurgie ACL. Mais il a fini par mener les Bears dans les objectifs de la semaine 1, remportant 4-en-7 pour 61 verges. Robinson ne se sépare pas très bien, mais il est l’un des meilleurs à jouer le ballon dans les airs et à se battre pour le rocher. La semaine dernière, Seattle a été battu par les Broncos, qui ont abandonné le quatrième plus grand nombre de points fantastiques après la première semaine, et ont accordé de grandes lignes à Emmanuel Sanders (10-135-1, WR7) et Demaryius Thomas (6-63-1). , WR18). La recrue Courtland Sutton s’est même retrouvée avec des passes de 25 et 20 verges. La Légion de Boom n'est plus, et les Seahawks se sont retirés depuis pour lancer Shaquill Griffin, la recrue Tre Flowers et la défaite de Patriots Justin Coleman comme leur trio de cornerback. Griffin et Flowers sont à l’extérieur où Robinson va parcourir ses routes. Griffin a été le numéro un de la série de qualifications de la Pro Football Focus sur 120 matches de qualification lors de la première semaine, et Flowers a été le dernier sur 120. Les deux se sont combinés pour donner 167 verges et deux points à Case Keenum et ses amis. C'est l'un des meilleurs matchs que Robinson verra cette saison.
Est assis
Robby Anderson contre les dauphins: Anderson a bien profité de sa seule cible lors de la défaite des Lions dans la nuit de lundi, pour un touché de 41 verges tout en fumant S Tavon Wilson. Malheureusement, comme nous l’avons mentionné, c’est la seule balle qui est venue de la recrue Sam Darnold. Darnold a lancé 21 passes ce soir-là, dont 10 à Quincy Enunwa, qui est de retour d’une blessure au cou qui lui a coûté toute l’année 2017. Gang Green a un des groupes de receveurs les plus profonds de la ligue et n’y ajoutera que Kearse (abdomen) revient, ce qui pourrait arriver dès cette semaine. La bonne nouvelle pour Anderson, c’est qu’il a joué le deuxième plus gros tirage (35 sur 60) derrière Enunwa (40), mais je ne peux pas me permettre de jouer un gars qui a vu moins de 5% des cibles. Bien sûr, Anderson a un énorme potentiel, mais s’il n’avait pas attrapé ce touché, nous chercherions un œuf de poule de la semaine 1. Des chiffres pour Anderson pour voir beaucoup de Dolphins CB Xavien Howard dimanche. Howard est considéré comme un talent grandissant et a absolument bloqué les Jets en deux rencontres l’an dernier, ne permettant qu’une seule prise pour 14 verges sur cinq cibles dans sa couverture. Darnold devrait lancer plus de 21 fois la plupart des jours, mais il est assez évident de savoir qui est sa cible préférée et la plus fiable, à savoir Enunwa. Le retour de Kearse ne fera que compliquer les choses.
Chris Hogan chez Jaguars: Hogan a été l’une des plus grosses déceptions de la semaine 1, ne ramenant que 1 cible sur 5 pour 11 verges sans but contre les Texans. Ses cinq regards étaient au quatrième rang de l’équipe derrière Rob Gronkowski, Phillip Dorsett et James White. De plus, Hogan doit maintenant se battre avec All-Pro Jalen Ramsey. Odell Beckham a eu «sa» la semaine dernière contre Ramsey, mais les Patriots n’ont pas à gaver un seul joueur contrairement aux Giants. The Jaguars were No. 1 in almost every pass defense metric last season. In the AFC Championship game, Hogan caught just two balls for 20 yards. Hogan owners need to be prepared for another ugly box score Sunday. Hogan will be a serious buy-low candidate next week when the schedule softens. After Jacksonville, the Patriots’ following four games are @ DET, vs. MIA, vs. IND, and vs. KC. Hogan will be ready for liftoff.
Jordy Nelson at Broncos: Nelson was one of our favorite 9th/10th-round fliers as a WR4 in drafts this summer. Week 1 was a disappointment all around for the Raiders as they got their doors blown off in a 20-point loss to the Rams. Nelson, though, led all Raiders wide receivers with four targets, catching three for 23 yards. Meanwhile, Amari Cooper snared 1-of-3 for nine yards. A lot of the blame goes to Derek Carr, who legitimately looked frightened in the pocket. He was extremely skittish and refused to challenge down the field. Jared Cook made Carr’s line look respectable. The Rams are obviously a tough test, however, and things don’t get much easier this week in Denver. Aqib Talib is gone, but Chris Harris, Bradley Roby, and Adam Jones make for a fine cover trio. Oakland’s implied team total of 20 points is tied for fifth-lowest of Week 2. Cook again looks like the best bet among Raiders pass-catchers, and Cooper might be force-fed the ball to get him going. Martavis Bryant is also back in the picture and further muddles this situation.
TIGHT END
Start of the Week: Jordan Reed vs. Colts: Toe and hamstring injuries ruined Reed’s 2017 season to the point he needed offseason surgery. The Redskins understandably took it slow with him at practice, but he looked every bit back to his non-injured self last week against the Cardinals. Reed played 52% of the snaps in the easy win but likely could have played more if not for the blowout. His five targets were third on the team, and Reed made an impressive touchdown grab at the pylon while almost lying on the ground. It was evident new QB Alex Smith loved throwing to the inside and shorts portions of the field to Reed, Chris Thompson, and slot wideout Jamison Crowder. They’re going to be the butter to Smith’s bread all year. Reed and Thompson each saw two red-zone targets. Reed’s 4-48-1 helped him to the overall TE5 finish in Week 1. Owners remain weary of Reed, and it showed when Reed was able to be had in the double-digit rounds of summer drafts. But when he’s healthy and in the lineup, Reed is an upper-echelon TE1. The Colts present a mouthwatering matchup at home with the Redskins’ implied team total of 26.5 points the fifth-highest of Week 2.
Starts
Jared Cook at Broncos: I whiffed bad on Cook last week, listing him as a “sit” against the Rams. We’ve just been fooled by Cook too many times, and it’s bound to happen again. Cook posted the top TE1 finish in Week 1 after running roughshod through the middle of the Rams defense for an 8-190 line on a team-high 12 targets. It made sense with Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib locking down the outside, but DC Wade Phillips had no answer for Cook, unless the plan was to let Cook get his and shut down the rest of the offense. The Raiders find themselves in a similar situation this week. Denver’s corner trio of Chris Harris, Bradley Roby, and Adam Jones should handle their business against the wideouts, potentially leaving Cook and RB Jalen Richard to again expose the middle of the field. Seahawks rookie TE Will Dissly hung a 3-105-1 line on the Broncos last week, finishing as the TE2 right behind Cook. We fell for the Cook trap last Week 12 against the Broncos when he went for just one catch for two yards. Cook has a wide range of outcomes every Sunday, but this looks like another good spot to take the plunge, especially for those who just lost Delanie Walker.
George Kittle vs. Lions: Kittle was one of the best tight ends I saw last week after watching all 32 teams over the course of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. An exceptional athlete with great size, Kittle was running free against the Vikings all afternoon. His 5-90 line on nine targets is impressive just in the box score alone, but Kittle easily could/should have had a much bigger day. He dropped what might have gone for an 80-yard touchdown and later beat the safety over the top only to have Jimmy Garoppolo just overshoot him in the end zone. Kittle again was open in the end zone later, but Garoppolo sailed a pass way over his head on what should have have an easy four-yard score. The Lions allowed the seventh-most touchdowns to tight ends last year. The Jets barely use tight ends, but even their rag-tag group caught all four of their targets for 34 yards against the Lions last Monday night. Quincy Enunwa, the Jets’ slot man, who is basically their tight end in some sets, was targeted a team-high 10 times and posted a 6-63-1 line. Kittle is a locked-in TE1 moving forward.
David Njoku at Saints: No tight end presents with more raw upside and ability than Njoku. But drops have been a constant problem and were again a factor for Njoku in Week 1. He dropped back-to-back passes at one point and ended up catching just 3-of-7 targets for 13 yards against the Steelers. There were positives, though, as Njoku was in on 88% of the snaps and saw the second-most targets on the team. Fellow sophomore TE O.J. Howard caught a pair of passes for 54 yards last week against the Saints, busting wide open down the right side for his long gain. Opportunities will be there for Njoku to make plays Sunday; he just has to catch the ball. This game has the second-highest total on the board at 49.5 points and will be played in the fantasy-friendly Superdome.
Sits
Kyle Rudolph at Packers: I was a big believer in Rudolph over the summer because of Kirk Cousins’ previous affinity for the position in his Redskins days, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned after the preseason and one game of the regular season. Rudolph was in on 59-of-71 snaps in Week 1 and ran a healthy 33 routes. But he was targeted just two times. Luckily, one of those resulted in an 11-yard touchdown, but Rudolph wasn’t targeted until deep into the third quarter and was targeted just twice on 63 preseason snaps. The Packers swallowed up Try Burton last week and were No. 7 against the position in 2017. Rudolph has very real touchdown potential, but he’s really shaping up as a TD-or-bust play in fantasy with a scary-low floor.
Trey Burton vs. Seahawks: Burton was another miss at tight end last week for me. I bought too much into the preseason hype and ignored the Packers’ success at defending the position. Burton caught just one of his six targets for 16 yards, though the six targets were eighth-most among all tight ends in Week 1. It’s possible Burton easily bounces back this week with better play from Mitchell Trubisky, but Seattle presents another difficult matchup on paper. They allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends last year and surrendered just three scoreless catches to Broncos TEs in Week 1. Earl Thomas is back patrolling the middle of the field, and Bobby Wagner remains an assassin at middle linebacker. S Bradley McDougald also picked off two passes against Denver. I understand Burton owners may not have many other options, but I’m not excited this week.
Charles Clay vs. Chargers: Like the rest of the Bills against the Ravens, Clay did nothing in the box score, catching neither of his two targets. Coach Sean McDermott called Clay and fellow veteran Kelvin Benjamin out on Wednesday, saying the two need to play better. Clay is a 29-year-old with 49-year-old knees and can barely move anymore. The Chargers present a hellish matchup for him. The Bolts allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to the position last season and completely stamped out Travis Kelce in Week 1, holding him to one catch for six yards on six targets.
