There should be roughly 5 weeks left of your fantasy regular season. Are any of you truly out of the hunt? Maybe if you’re 1-7, but other than that it’s not panic time. Panic time can come next week. Next week we will talk about booting people from your league if they tank. This is the week to make big trades, take big chances and make a move.
Here are some potential targets to go after to make a big splash:
Todd Gurley
Carson Wentz
Russell Wilson
Doug Baldwin
Jerick McKinnon
Maybe take a chance on:
Alvin Kamara
Matthew Stafford
Joe Mixon
Marlon Mack
Devin Funchess
Marquise Goodwin
Think about trading away:
C.J. Anderson
DeAndre Hopkins (will never be as valuable as he is right now)
Amari Cooper
Christian McCaffrey
Derek Carr
Now is the time to make a move...any trade questions, hit me up on Twitter.
Each week I stream a DST. A team that’s owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues. I have picked a top 10 DST in every week except for one. This week I am going with 49ers. This is the team I have the least confidence in. Does anyone have confidence in Drew Stanton or possibly Blaine Gabbert? Does anyone think AP will go off again and have 100+ and 2 TD’s? This pick is more about Arizona’s offense being very bad. Look for San Francisco try to play ball control, run Hyde and Brieda and don’t let their QB make mistakes. This could be one of the 49ers chances to win.
Keep on keepin on...with the rankings

Wild Card: Brock Osweiler. I may be the only believer on the planet. When Brock played for the Broncos, he had arguably a worse team around him and went 5-2 including a huge win over New England. He helped Denver to the #1 seed and without him they wouldn’t have won the Super Bowl. Nevermind what he has done since then, I am a believer that Brock will come in and immediately be an upgrade over Trevor Siemian.

This week will be crazy for RB’s. Injuries and trades have made new opportunities for a lot of guys. Some players have new homes and we don’t know their workload yet and other players have been promoted to starter. Will they share carries? Crazy week to rank RB’s

As with RBs….. injuries, bye weeks and people on new teams make it really difficult to rank people this week. Doug Baldwin and Devin Funchess have won me over. Can we believe Demaryius Thomas has 0 TD's this season???? 13 game drought.
