Wide Recievers
Start em'
1. Odell Beckham Jr.
With a solid rookie debut against the Atlanta Falcons Odell Beckham will have his break out game against a rather weak Eagles secondary. Last week against the Eagles Rams wide receiver Brian Quick had 20 points. Eli Manning will be looking to Beckham especially with red zone opportunities. I predict Odell Beckham Jr. to have 8 catches for 83 yards and a Touchdown. In other words play Beckham Jr.

2.Golden Tate
Not to say that the age of Megatron is over but Golden Tate has been racking up the fantasy points for a late round wideout. This week Tate is going up against the Minnesota Vikings who gave up touchdowns to both Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson. I expect Golden Tate to get 10 catches for 102 yards and at least one touchdown if not more.
Emanuel Sanders in PPR leagues has averaged around 15 fantasy points a game with zero touchdowns on the year. This week Sanders is going to have a huge game against the jets and by the end of the first half will have over ten fantasy points. I doubt I need to convince people to play him but trust me he will have a huge week. My projection is 25 yards rushing 8 catches 95 yards receiving with a Touchdown.
Atlanta defense can not contain Alshon Jeffery. He will have a huge play in this game for a touchdown. Possibly in a shootout type game in Atlanta. That is why Jeffery will put up a staggering 135 yards on 9 catches with a touchdown. You would be crazy not playing this freak of an athlete. The days of Brandon Marshall being the best fantasy receiver in Chicago are over. Watch out Alshon Jeffery is my favorite start OF THE WEEK.
I agree on all counts. That said, Sanders and Jeffrey are top 10 WRs and anyone who isn't already starting him deserves the miserable fantasy season that they get. I'd like to see you take some more risks with your future predictions, if you are willing!
ReplyDeleteI am one of the mighty fantasy GMs with the foresight to pick up ODB (yes, I call him that, with all due respect to the Wu's Osiris, rest his soul) before his mini-explosion last week.
(injures rotator cuff whilst patting self on back ..............)
my only rebuttal is that in 8 team leagues you could possibly have a choice between lets say maclin or sanders. fair point but there. And yes join the ODB TRAIN!
