JetNation Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Welcome to the Week 2 of the 2016 NFL season! Every week, I will pick some players who I think will overachieve and underachieve based on ESPN’s weekly rankings. Please feel free to ask any lineup questions here or on Twitter. Last week I went 7-5 for Over Achievers and 9-3 for Under Achievers Let’s get to it. Overachievers QBs Oakland Raiders QB David Carr-QB 11: He is off to a great start and gets the Falcons who were ripped up through the pass last week. Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco-QB 14: He looked a little rusty but had a nice deep connection with Mike Wallace, the Browns defense is a go against every week. Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan QB 17: Ryan is historically a great September QB plus the Raiders pass defense leaves alot to be desired. RBs New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings RB 18: There is no threat behind him and the Saints are still awful. New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount RB 23: The Patriots are going more conservative and I can see him continuing to get 20 touches a game for the next few weeks. Seattle Seahwks RB Thomas Rawls RB 26: Pete Carroll came out and said he is the RB1 and gets the shaky Rams defense. WRs New York Jets WR Eric Decker WR 18: I can see the Jets getting the ball back to their big dawgs. Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd WR 28: He may be the most underrated WR in the NFL, all he does is produce week in and week out. Oakland Raiders WR Michael Crabtree WR 33: In what should be a high scoring game, I expect at least 10 targets which is all you can ask from a WR3 TEs Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller TE 13: He is a favorite fo Jay Cutler and based on their slow start, I expect a ton of targets. K Pittsburgh Steelers K Chris Boswell K 13: Last year he was the second best kicker and is a bargain down this low Defense Philadelphia Eagles D-11: They had a solid week one perfromance and I expect the same in week two Underachievers QBs Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers QB 3: Jordy Nelson had heavy legs last week and they now go on the road where they usually struggle in Minnesota. New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees QB 4: While he usually rips it up at home, onthe road is a different story and the Giants look vastly improved on that side of the ball. Indianpolis Colts QB Andrew Luck QB 11: I would not want to go against tge Broncos defense in Denver. RBs Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley RB 11: The conbination of the opponent and the horrific Rams offense makes playing him a huge gamble every week. Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Stewart RB 15: He looked a tad slow last week and is banged up as well, I can see a blowout and him getting a rest this week. San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde RB 21: He now goes on the road against a real top 5 defense, no thank you. WRs New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks WR 10: He did have one huge play last week but now faces a better defense on the road. Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins WR 17: He is not 100% healthy nor is this offense. Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Mathews WR 23: I expect the road to be an issue for the rookie QB. TE New Orleans Saints TE Coby Fleener TE 9: He looked lost last week, that will continue this week on the road. K Green Bay Packers K Mason Crosby K 4: I do not expect them to score many points on the road versus the Minnesota Vikings. D Arizona Defense D 6: Last week was a pretty shaky performance and now they see a better overall offense in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Thank you for reading and hit me up on Twitter.
