Reasoning: The iffyness of this QB slate has led me to a play that will certainly test my standing with the fantasy football gods. The biggest barrier to playing Andy Dalton is well, Andy Dalton. We are talking about a QB who did just throw 2 pick sixes a week ago. There is also the baller blocker or all baller blockers in Taysom Hill looming as well. You may wonder why i’d want to subject my nerves to this but hey, I’m a Ravens fan so i’m used to it.
Joking aside, this is a great matchup. The Raiders are near the bottom of the league in most pass defense metrics and have a middling at best pass rush. Chris Olave is an obvious stacking partner and will be on my short list of plays. Correlating my TE play with my QB is always something I’m looking to do. Davante Adams I like as a run back and maybe his price causes his rostership to fall under the radar. Marshon Lattimore being out gives this a nice extra boost.
At RB I’m riding the wave with Tony Pollard…he’s just too good a play in too good of a matchup. The hope here is that Miles Sanders can match him at much lower rostership.
The Wan’Dale – Lockett skinny stack is one I love. They both have great matchups and should easily sport high end target shares.
The Lions defense play is just an attempt to get different and try to side swipe the folks playing Tua, Tyreek and Mostert. If you don’t feel as froggy, the Panthers defense fits but Mariota is perpetually low on pass attempts so the sacks and picks will be harder to come by.
