Speaking of owned and started, how about Kamar Aiken’s 14 targets last week?
Cue the band Europe, because we’re in the final countdown of the fantasy season. As a result, we really have no idea how the situation is going to play out.
Antonio Brown put an exclamation point on the Steelers’ victory over the Browns by taking a Ben Roethlisberger pass 56 yards to the end zone.
It’s the last week of byes, and hopefully it’s the last week of major injuries. This week he goes up against the Colts. I think this game goes way under, even though the Raiders defense has been an abomination. That could very well change when the Titans take on the Jaguars on Thursday night. Bortles doesn’t have a scary defense on his schedule until Arizona in Week 15. The Cardinals defense ranks in the top ten for the least points given up to a quarterback this year in fantasy football. Dalton has the weapons to bounce back this week but it will hard.
As you can tell from our main article image, Cardinals QB Carson Palmer is the recommended start of the week, if you have him on your roster.
Sit Matt Hasselbeck, Colts: Hasselbeck is going to be starting for the Colts this week since Andrew Luck is hurt.
Charcandrick West – Chiefs: West has proven himself to the Chiefs with Jamaal Charles on the shelf with a torn right Achilles tendon. You’ll have to hope for a touchdown, but Bradshaw is more likely to score one this week than most other RBs on the wire. With that being fairly obvious, you would assume the Chiefs will be playing tight on Gates all game long. Broncos | $2,500 – Tough matchup, but he’s gaining snaps.
One of the most accomplished authors in fantasy game theory, Jonathan Bales, often discusses the “Anti-Fragile Approach” to lineup construction. Look for White to get active in the passing game. For Chicago, keep riding Jeremy Langford’s hot hand if Matt Forte (knee) is out. The most impressive part of that run is that he produced those fantasy points while facing just one positive matchup. Jones has become a more dependable back than Alfred Morris, who has been a fantasy disappointment this season. This seems like a good game on paper for the Falcons offense, including Devonta Freeman ($34). Handcuffing early in the season only limits your roster’s overall upside. As with the Broncos run defense and Panthers run defense, the Panthers tight end defense is only middle of the pack.
Dorial Green-Beckham was shut out last week, but a tough matchup was largely the reason. But this week is a different story. Flacco has traveled to face two other NFC West opponents and each time came away with a loss and achieved only a mediocre TD:INT ratio of 3:3 over those two contest. Start him this week on Monday Night Football he will have a big game. And the matchup is pretty good against a Dolphins team that gave up over 200 yards receiving to TEs last week. Austin is a threat every time he touches the ball to score a touchdown. The lifelong Patriot finishes the season with 61 catches, 692 yards, and seven touchdowns. Amendola’s numbers have been up-and-down on a weekly basis, but he has done a great job converting targets to receptions (40-for-48 on the season, or 83%). The Vikings’ special teams got a 93-yard kickoff return from Cordarrelle Patterson, too. Johnson is one of the big front-runners to win the Comeback Player of the Year award this season, and rightfully so. It gets worse this week for Thomas as his starting quarterback Peyton Manning will be out and Brock Osweiler will get the start. Trust Palmer to anchor a strong lineup in both GPPs and cash games. Kelce is a big and talented tight end that Alex Smith looks for.
Should you immediately put Romo back in your lineups? But is the hobby having a negative effect on how we view the bodies and the line of work of players whose injuries can lead us to discard them with a quick look at a smartphone app?

The good news is the position is deeper than ever and solutions can be found on the waiver wire. When faced with lots of options, do you want to swipe left and pass on potential opportunity or do you want to swipe right and open the door for exciting possibilities?
