JetNation Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hello All, Welcome to the 1st week of the NFL, here every week I will pick some players who I think will over and under achieve based on their ESPN weekly rankings. Please feel free to ask any lineup questions here or on Twitter. Let’s get to it; Over Achievers Tyrod Taylor QB Buffalo Bills 12: The Baltimore Ravens pass defense does not looked improved and when healthy, Tyrod was a top 10 fantasy QB last year. Jameis Winston QB Tampa Bay Buccaneers 15: This is another easy defense and he is in the best shape of his life with all healthy weapons. Robert Griffin QB Cleveland Bears 22: They should be playing behind all season with their horrific defense and minimal running game. Matt Forte RB New York Jets 20: He is slated to get the lions share of the touches in week one when he will be the freshest. Rashad Jennings RB New York Giants 20: He is another who will dominate the carries plus gets the awful Dallas Cowboys defense. Christine Michael RB Seattle Seahawks 22: Pete Carroll came out and said that Thomas Rawls will not get many carries, this looks too easy. Randall Cobb WR Green Bay Packers 18: He is back to his comfortable place in the slot and should excel all season. Donte Moncrief WR Indianpolis Colts 22: I see him have a bigger year than TY Hilton and should need to throw as their defense leaves alot to be desired. Marvin Jones WR Detroit Lions 26: He is my breakout star at WR this year and it starts this week. Dwayne Allen TE Indianapolis Colts 14: Ride him while he can play in what looks to be a shootout. Under Achievers Ben Roethlisberger QB Pittsburgh Steelers 5: I want to see how he plays with no Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant, his stats without them last year were not top 5. Cam Newton QB Carolina Panthers 10: On the road versus the NFL’s best defense off a Super Bowl loss, no thank you. Carson Palmer QB Arizona Cardinals 11: He still looked shell shocked from last years playoffs in the preseason and the New England Patriots had a whole off season to game plan. Ryan Mathews RB Philadelphia Eagles 15: This offense could be a dumpster fire even against a very bad Cleveland Browns defense. Frank Gore RB Indianapolis Colts 16: The Detroit Lions were pretty stout versus the run last year. Jonathon Stewart RB Carolina Panthers 23: I want no part the Denver Broncos defense at home. Jordy Nelson WR Green Bay Packers 8: He did not play one game in preseason, and they will monitor his snaps, may be more of a decoy in week one. Demaryius Thomas WR Denver Packers 17: This is going to be a low scoring slug fest and I am skeptical about the 2nd year 7th round QB. Julian Edelman WR New England Patriots 23: He is another WR who barely played at all in preseason and with the new QB, I need to see one game before I plug and play him. Coby Fleener TE New Orleans Saints 6: He came out about not knowing the playbook, that is a red flag in my world. Thank you for reading and hit me up @dvond on twitter.

Joe W. Namath Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Start em: qb - Blake Bortles - at home in what will be a shoot out vs Green Bay. I see lots of points in the game with Bortles tossing at least 3 tds. Sleeper qb - Brock Osweiller RB - Lamar miller - a great matchup at home against a weak bears team. He will start his Texan career in style with over 100 yards rushing and 40 yards recieving and 2 tds. Sleeper rb - Duke Johnson Wr - Amari Cooper - this guy is going to break out this year and become one of the top 5 recievers in this league. Alot of points will be scored in the Superdome and Cooper will go for over 100 yards and 2 tds. Sleeper Wr - Terrel Pryor Te - Jared Cook - very talented player who has played on some bad teams. With Aaron Rodgers throwing him the ball, i see over 75 yards and a td on sunday in Jacksonville. Sleeper Te - Vance McDonald DST - NYJ - Bengals are weak at reciever and the TE is out. The bengals will struggle to move the ball and Dalton will have multiple turnovers. Sleeper DST - Tenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
