QB Jameis Winston– what an exciting and intriguing year for TB QBs. Between suspensions and benching several opportunities rose for both Jameis and Fitz. If you are in need of another QB for the playoff stretch look no further. In the last 5 games of the season, 3 of them are against teams who rank in the top 6 of most fantasy points giving up to QB a game. The potential is there for Winston with his solid receiving core and big arm. He will most certainly come with turnovers but his yards and TDs should make up for it.
QB Dak Prescott– first 5 games of the season Dak averaged roughly 12 points a game, not worth a roster spot. Since then he has averaged over 20 points a game. Like Winston, Dak benefits from an extremely weak schedule against pass defenses to finish out the year. This week he faces the Saints on Thursday night football. He’s worth a stash as a 2nd qb for the playoff stash.
RB Gus Edwards– I caught some heat last week for telling people to add him. Edwards followed up his first performance with another 100+ yard game. Very rare to find backs with this kind of talent at this Point of the season so if he is available you need to wrap him up. Next 2 games are against 2 of the top 3 worse run defenses in fantasy.
RB Theo Riddick– I know i keep harping on this guy but I’m so fascinated by his workload. In the past 4 weeks he is tied in first with CMC in targets. The targets are very consistent and not heavily lopsided for any game. In my mind with the Lions influx of receiving options, One of these targets has to turn to a TD eventually. Stash Riddick if you are in desperate need of depth.
RB Rex Burkhead– we have not heard much from this man considering he’s been out all year. Reports earlier this week were that Burkhead has been activated to the 53 man roster. Owned in almost every league, this back should be added in all formats due to his offense that he plays in and he’s versatile role.
WR Adam Humphries– in the past 7 weeks he has more yards, redzone targets and TDs then teammates Jackson and Godwin. He has also ranked in the top 20 at WR in that time. Winston has developed some strong chemistry with him and he could provide some serious depth heading into this week and that playoffs.
WR Keke Coutee– Despite last nights game I add Coutee to my list. We can’t forget the connection him and Watson had earlier in the season. The waiver wire is most definitely thinning out, but this is a guy I still take a close look at.
WR Josh Reynolds– if he’s out there, snatch him up. With Kupp out for the year, Reynolds provides better potential turn probably any other WR on the wire. He plays in one of the best offenses in the NFL and will see plenty of targets moving forward.
TE CJ Uzomah– despite a rather low scoring day, CJ had the QB throw his way 13 times, more then any other tight end this past week. Bengals face a Broncos defense that has struggled against the position. Worth an add this week during your final playoff push
