Daily Fantasy League Breakdown – Week 2

Daily Fantasy League Advice.

Quarterbacks

• Did you see Peyton Manning in Week 1 ($8,200/$7,500). And he’s playing at Arrowhead. No thank you.
• Ride Carson Palmer ($7,800/$6,700) while he’s healthy.
• Iceman Ryan ($8,700/$7,400) looked good in Kyle Shanahan’s offense and the Giants’ pass rush is missing a finger.
• I know Phillip Rivers torched the Lions but don’t expect a Teddy Bridgewater ($7,000/$6,400) bounce back. 1 TD to 5 INTs in two games versus the Lions last season and that offensive line is a M.A.S.H. unit.
• Tom Brady ($8,300/$7,500) owns the Bills historically but something tells me it’s going to be different this time. I’d stay away.
• Drew Brees ($8,900/$7,800) he’s playing the Buccaneers.
• I’m stubborn. I’m not running with Marcus Mariota ($7,400/$6,000). I think Cleveland will be prepared for  zone-read attack. They see it with Manziel in practice and there is NFL film on Mariota now.
• Sam Bradford ($7,500/$6,900) is still healthy and that second half on Monday night looked promising.
• Tony Romo ($8,500/$7,100), no Dez and on the road, versus a divisional rival. I’m going to steer clear.
• If Nick Foles can surely Aaron Rodgers ($9,300/$8,300) will at home and no Kam Chancellor.
• Russell Wilson ($8,500/$7,300) typically gets the best of the elite QBs head-to-head.

Running Backs

• The Broncos have a tough defense. Can we get a break on Jamaal Charles’ ($8,800/$7,600) price? I guess not…
• Ronnie Hillman ($5,100/$5,600) could be a moderate bargain if C.J. Anderson ($8,000/$6,700) misses this contest. Otherwise, I’m not touching the Broncos backfield.
• Sheer volume outweighs the matchup for Matt Forte ($8,900/$7,700).
• Not ready to invest in Tevin Coleman ($6,500/$4,500) yet but I like what I saw in Week 1.
• All 3 of the Eagles’ backs made an impact in the passing game. That’s right in Shane Vereen’s ($6,200/$4,200) wheel-house.
• Adrian Peterson ($9,000/$7,700) bounce back.
• I won’t judge you if you go with Ameer Abdullah ($6,400/$4,500). EXPLOSIVE!
• If Luke Kuechly doesn’t play….nope still not playing Alfred Blue ($5,700/$3,700).
• LeSean McCoy ($8,100/$6,600) gets on track in Week 2.
• Don’t get carried away with Dion Lewis ($5,200/$3,400) that was the Steelers’ awful defense mind you.
• Might be the last week Danny Woodhead ($6,200/$4,000) can be head at premium value.
• Carlos Hyde ($7,000/$5,100) may be my new Jeremy Hill.
• Alfred Morris ($7,300/$5,000) is like Chris Ivory but with make-up on.
• Mark Ingram ($8,000/$5,900) see Drew Brees.
• Can’t bring myself to trust Bishop Sankey ($6,500/$4,500) even against the Browns’ poor run defense.
• Cautious optimism with Justin Forsett ($7,800/$6,200). Nice matchup but expect an 8-man box.
• Get right game for Lamar Miller ($7,300/$5,500).
• Joseph Randle cannot be ignored ($6,700/$5,600) nor can Lance Dunbar ($4,800/$3,000) in this one.
• The Falcons were fired up and Demarco Murray ($8,300/$7,000) didn’t look comfortable at the “mesh point.” He’ll be motivated but I’d rather invest in a stud wideout and Darren Sproles ($5,600/$3,500).
• I’ll take Beast Mode ($8,500/$7,200) over Eddie Lacy ($8,100/$7,200) in this one. But I certainly won’t hold it against you if you disagree.
• I like my running backs O’Natural. Give me Chris Ivory ($6,900/$4,700).

Wide Receivers

• If there’s any player I’m starting on Thursday night it’s going to be Demariyus Thomas ($8,500/$8,400). Don’t look at me like that, I know what I said about Peyton.
• Alshon Jeffery ($8,100/$7,500) is getting healthier but he’s going to draw Patrick Peterson. I’d stay away.
• John Brown, Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd are all comparable in price but I’d steer clear never know who’s turn it’s going to be.
• Julio! ($8,800/$8,900)
• Bounce back for Odell Beckham Jr. ($8,700/$8,800) in Week 2.
• Can’t imagine Megatron ($8,100/$8,200) only gets 4 targets again.
• Nuk! ($8,100/$7,400). Especially with Ryan Mallet at the helm.
• Keenan Allen ($8,200/$7,100) is going to get a lot of attention from the Bengals defense I think Stevie Johnson ($5,700/$4,200) reaps the benefits.
• Antonio Brown is like Kobe Steak, if you have to ask what the price is you probably shouldn’t order it.
• Anquan Boldin ($6,400/$5,700). No pass rush, porous secondary in Pittsburgh.
• Brandin Cooks ($7,400/$7,100). See Mark Ingram.
• Steve Smith, if he can’t get it done this week against a Raiders team missing both starting safeties then you won’t see his name here again for the remainder of the season.
• Secret’s out. Get Jarvis Landry ($7,100/$5,900) in your lineup.
• Costly drop aside Jordan Matthews ($7,100/$7,000) put up numbers. He’ll do so in Week 2 as well.
• Terrance Williams ($6,300/$4,200) is no Dez or Julio but it doesn’t matter the Eagles secondary is still unimpressive.
• The injury to Dez Bryant either makes Cole Beasley ($5,700/$3,300) relevant or irrelevant. Risky proposition. There are better options of comparable value.
• All three of Aaron Rodgers’ TDs were thrown to the left side of the field in Week 1. Davante Adams ($6,400/$4,900) lines up on the right predominantly meaning he’s going to see Richard Sherman. James Jones ($5,400/$4,700) + left side of formation = multiple red zone targets in Week 2. (= 2 TDs in Week 1)

Tight Ends

• Travis Kelce ($6,600/$5,100) is undeniable.
• Owen Daniels ($5,000/$3,300) burned me last week, but I believe he will make an impact this season. But…it won’t be in Week 2 he’s going to have stay in and help block the Chiefs pass rushers.
• You could do worse than Martellus Bennett ($6,100/$4,500).
• I expect Greg Olsen’s ($6,000/$4,900) 3 targets in Week 1 to ‘triple’ at least. Did you see what Kelce did to the Texans? Shake that clunker off, run Olsen back.
• Gronk! ($8,300/$7,300). Steep but matchup proof.
• Was it the beginning of a Tyler Eifert ($5,900/$4,200) breakout season? Or a symptom of playing the Oakland Raiders? Don’t over think it, the position isn’t deep enough to ignore his Week 1 performance.
• I mentioned Stevie Johnson will benefit from the attention Keenan Allen demands. Same goes for Ladarius Green ($5,600/$3,500).
• Vernon Davis ($5,100/$3,000). See Anquan Boldin.
• Jordan Reed ($5,000/$3,700) looks good on paper but I think he’ll be asked to stay in and block against the Rams front 4.
• Jason Witten ($6,000/$4,300) is going to get his but don’t count on multiple TDs.
• Touchdowns drive fantasy football. Just ask Jimmy Graham ($7,100/$5,800).

Defenses

• The Chiefs ($4,400/$2,900) are at home and the Broncos ($4,200/$2,800) are loaded on defense.
• The Cardinals ($4,600/$2,800) are playing Jay Cutler…just sayin’.
• The Rams’ ($4,900/$3,100) pass rush is awesome and Jeff Fischer teams excel on special teams.
• Titans ($4,600/$3,000), I like almost any defense that plays the Browns.
• Even sans T Sizzle give me the Ravens defense ($5,000/$2,900).
• I expected BIG things from the Dolphins defense ($5,100/$3,300) in Week 1. I expect bigger things against the Jaguars.
