Fantasy Football Friday

You’re looking at 5-6 targets tops for every single guy you listed and they all have a super low floor.

It’s a judgment call on your part. Kittle’s backup is a decent option this week as well with Kittle/Sanders likely out facing the defense worst in the league vs TE’s.

is Kittle's backup and that's a decent play.

I also like Fant. He has some rapport with Brandon Allen and Fant is starting to be a deep threat as well.

Guy I really like is Jared Cook though. I like the matchup against the Bucs, and Cook is coming off a 10 target game, 6 catches, 74 yards.

He might not be available but in a couple of my leagues he's been overlooked.

I started that guy (Ross Dwelley) last week and he did diddley (albeit against Seattle). And who knows how many snaps Celek will be getting now that he's been back for a full week. Like I said, I felt good about Everett on Tuesday, but reading that he's been limited in practice and Higbee's return makes him more of a question mark.

My opponent this week is starting Cook (so, thanks for nothing!).

He's the last legit healthy SEA TE, seems to have hands, good receiving instincts, maybe even good at the scramble drill, and seems to have good rapport with Russ. 16 tgts in the last 2 games...

Still a lottery ticket but that's better than some of the others imo

My plan is to make him my #1 waiver wire priority next week. I'm tempted to add him this week but the hit I'm taking with the bye week precludes it because I'm not dropping Kittle and I still have to start someone at TE this week. I don't have room for three TEs.

Dwelley had 7 targets in a much tougher matchup. Fantasy is more about opportunity than anything else.

If Dwelley gets 7+ targets this week I’d easily take him over everyone else you listed.

with Everett. He'll be good to go and he's better than any of the guys you named. I also have Kittle and E. Engram on a bye week. I've had all three for several weeks now. Everett has been a better-than-average last resort TE. He seems to do better the shittier the Rams offense plays, which has been pretty shitty this year.

With Will Fuller V a true questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Ravens, I had to play my last remaining active player, Kareem Hunt. I didn't hold onto him all year for 12 points, but on a bad week it'll do.

This was also the week that I finally cut Brandin Cooks. He may come back, but when active he was mostly disappointing anyway. I needed a better D for this weekend (NO vs. TB, didn't want to play BAL vs. HOU, didn't want to drop them either) so I made the move. I still have Julio, Metcalf, Curtis Samuel, Mike Williams and Fuller. I'm good with it.

This was the week I cut AJ Green. Maybe I'll try to pick him up again in a couple weeks, but the roster spot became too valuable and who knows what to expect from him and a rookie QB when he does finally suit up.

The only reason I haven't is A) I used the IR spot for Freeman even if only for a short-lived extra spot (I do this every time it's an option) and B) Week 11 is my big bye week, so after this I'm dropping at least a QB & TE, so maybe I can / should just hold on to him

I'd grab Slayton (esp if EE is out longer) if not one of many WRs in the mix - 1-2 of the PIT WRs if JuJu is out (Dionte has similar #s to JuJu and Washington is coming up. Might note that the other guy - Hilton? - got several deep targets yesterday), Deebo (tho he got grabbed), among others

For now w/ Freeman out, Saquon uncertain / banged up, I grabbed McKissick & Duke. Maybe it should have been Hill, but I wasn't sure I'd get him and think BH & JDM are WAY closer than the hype. Atl's OL blows and wk12 they play TB's D that's #2 vs the run. Also JDM has a great game script chance vs Dal even if Ty Johnson is back, and Det has thrown a lot more since KJ went down. But yeah it's close
