|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 19 | 64% (+10) | 9 | Saint defense has improved, but Romo playing well and matchup is still very beatable at home, and he should have to throw a lot. | ||||
WR | 11 | 75% (+5) | 48 | Active as expected last week and a solid start as a lot of points should be scored in this one. | ||||
WR | 9 | 83% (+4) | 72 | Remains absolutely on fire, and it's a good matchup, plus it's not looking good for Nelson. | ||||
RB | 10 | 82% (-3) | 57 | Packers are actually giving up the 2nd-most FPG to RBs over the last five weeks, but the numbers are deceiving, so some downside on the road. | ||||
RB | 8 | 20% (–) | 80 | Tomlin wants to run the ball more and he put up 17/122 on them earlier this year but check on Mendenhall's potential role and Cincy giving up fewest PPG to RBs last 5 weeks. | ||||
TE | 9 | 84% (+2) | 60 | Another nice game last week and this one should be a shootout, plus Saints give up the 6th-most FPG to TEs over the last five weeks. | ||||
W/R/T | 10 | 78% (-2) | 41 | Tough matchup by the number but another 10 targets last week and put up 8 catches against them earlier this year. | ||||
BN | 0 | 25% (-1) | 2473 | Unlikely to play this week. | ||||
BN | 10 | 63% (+3) | 46 | He did get an amazing 34 touches last week and the Panthers give up the 9th-most FPG to RBs over the last five weeks. | ||||
BN | 0 | 2% (–) | 2503 | He seems like the safest option here, but downside still with 2-3 other guys possibly in the mix. | ||||
BN | 6 | 30% (+19) | 108 | Delivered with 11 targets last week and Bucs give up the 2nd-most FPG to WRs over the last five weeks, so solid play. | ||||
BN | 6 | 54% (-3) | 118 | Has been pretty darn solid all year but a tough matchup and only 3/19 against them earlier this year. | ||||
BN | 10 | 8% (–) | 70 | Didn't do well against them earlier this year and other than Johnson and Chandler, his receiving corps is really thin. | ||||
BN | 0 | 2% (–) | 2488 | Not expected to play this week. | ||||
