If you’re reading this you’ve made it to the next round! Fantasy immortality is within our grasp. Let’s get it!
QB Must Start’s
Tom Brady at Atlanta: This is it boys. This is the game we have been waiting for. Brady and company are ready for that ultimate tune up game before the real world playoffs and they get the hapless Atlanta defense to take out their frustrations on. Brady and the Tampa offense haven’t been hitting on all cylinders really since Antonio Brown joined the team. That all changes this week as we project Brady to finish in the Top 5 of Quarterbacks this week.
Kyler Murray vs Philadelphia: Murray is another guy that has been a let down over the past few weeks due to injury. That being said we project Murray to have a monster game this week against a Philadelphia defense that is mediocre at best. A defense that just gave up almost 300 passing yards to the running QB Taysom Hill. Bro…Kyler Murray is going to tear this thing up. Start our guy Kyler with supreme confidence.
Other QB’s We Love
Ryan Tannehill vs Detroit
Russell Wilson at Washington
Jared Goff vs NYJ
Running Back Must Starts
D’Andre Swift at Tennessee: Swift produced in a limited role last week putting up a modest 51 total yards and a touchdown making him a solid flex play for last week. This week against a bottom third rushing defense; the training wheels are coming off as we expect Swift to be much more involved. Look for Swift to finish as a high end RB2/low end RB1 this week.
Can Akers vs NYJ: We made a big mistake not recommending Akers as much as we should last week. But to be fair, he hadn’t taken a stranglehold on the top RB spot yet. That all changed last week when he volumed his way to 171 yards rushing in 29 carries. It’s time for Akers to get some respect on his god damn name. Against a bad Jets rushing attack we think he could really go off. Expect high end RB1 numbers in this blowout.
Other RB’s We Love:
J.K. Dobbins vs Jacksonville
David Montgomery at Minnesota
James Robinson at Baltimore
Jonathan Taylor vs Houston
Wide Receiver Must Start’s
Brandon Aiyuk at Dallas: One of my top rookies to watch has turned into an absolute stud. After a serious battle with COVID just a few weeks ago Aiyuk has stormed back on the scene and taken the number one WR spot. Against Dallas this week we expect high end WR1 numbers.
Michael Thomas vs Kansas City: Due to injury, it’s safe to say Thomas has been a bust this year. Considering where he was drafted and how much pain he has caused fantasy owners, Thomas really needs to come up big down the stretch here. We think he is poised for the best game of his season so far this week against a Kansas City secondary that doesn’t scare anyone. Look for Thomas to find the end zone for the first time all year in this one and finish as a high end WR2.
Other WR’s We Love:
Chris Godwin at Atlanta
Antonio Brown at Atlanta
Robbie Anderson at Green Bay
Justin Jefferson vs Chicago
Tight End Must Starts:
Robert Tonyan vs Carolina: Honestly Tonyan deserves way more credit than we is getting this year. After his breakout three touchdown performance earlier in the year he seemed to fade off. That all changed the last four week where he has scored in each game. We expect another big game out of Aaron Rodgers new favorite security blanket.
Other TE’s We Love:
T.J. Hockenson at Tennessee
Rob Gronkowski at Atlanta
Dallas Goedert at Arizona
Evan Engram vs Cleveland

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati
