Must Start
Matt Ryan QB vs Tampa Bay: Matty Ice and the dirty birds are heating up just in time for the fantasy playoffs. If you are on the outside looking in or you need a win to clinch the division title; Matt Ryan is your guy this week. Tampa Bay is the worst defense in the league and Ryan as well as every other Falcon will feast on their secondary this week.
Derek Carr QB vs NYJ: Carr and the Raiders are riding a hot streak that should continue against this Jet defense on the road. The Jets have been better on D behind the All Pro efforts of Jamal Adams, but the president is only one man. Look for Carr to go deep early and often. Especially because the Jets run defense is sneaky good, and will for sure limit Jacobs production.
D.K. Metcalf WR vs Philadelphia:
The rookie of the year candidate went into the bye week hot and will look to stay hot against bad Philadelphia secondary. Even though they have improved, the Eagles defense can’t handle an offense like the Seahawks. I’m expecting top 12 wide receiver numbers from D.K. this week.
Terry Mclaurin WR vs Detroit: I’m feeling this pick the most this week. Scary Terry has shown major promise in D.C. The rookie receiver, his QB, and Guice are seemingly the only bright spots for that joke of a franchise. Terry draws the Lions at home in Washington. Detroit has not been as good on defense as advertised. I think Terry gets high end WR2 numbers this week.
Tyrell Williams WR vs NYJ: Williams has let down owners recently, but he is guaranteed to find the endzone this week against New York.
Todd Gurley RB vs Baltimore: The Rams went back to Gurley in a big way last week. Getting a season high 25 carries may be a sign that Gurley is finally 100% healthy. The Ravens D is no slouch, but neither is Chicago’s and Gurley got his yards against them. Plug Gurley in with confidence.
Derrick Henry RB vs Jax: We have been trying to beat the fact that Henry is a must start in your head all year, and we still get questions on Sunday about starting him. He will continue to be a beast for you and he is officially retired from our must start list this week! Always start D Henry!
Darius Guice RB vs Detroit: Can we really trust the Guice man? The young RB is always injured, but seemingly fully healthy now Guice broke out for a big run againt the Jets last week and showed what he can do. Guice gets a great matchup at home against Detroit and is a flex play with RB2 upside.
Ryan Griffin TE vs Oakland: Griffin has been Sam Darnold’s security blanket since he returned from mono. Griffin has been a matchup nightmare for teams and a major redzone target. Griffin is an easy must start.
Jared Cook TE vs Carolina: We were on Cook last week when we told you he would find the endzone, and we are telling you he will find it again this week against Carolina, who is terrible against tight ends.
Cleveland Browns Defense vs Miami: The Browns are down arguably the best defensive player in the league with Myles Garrett being out for the rest of the year, but Denzel Ward and the crew should put up solid numbers against a turnover happy Miami team.
Atlanta Falcons Defense vs Tampa Bay: In thr shocker of week 11; Atlanta was the #1 defense in Fantasy. Give them another run this week against Jameis who wakes up with 2 interceptions.
