QB, Justin Herbert – Los Angeles Chargers vs. Cincinnati Bengals (28th)

Justin Herbert has been a QB1 since their Week 5 Bye Week. He has ranked 4th among Quarterbacks per PFF during that time. The Bengals rank 22nd in expected points and have allowed 51 explosive plays this season. The team is passing the ball more aggressively than we expected. Los Angeles is passing the ball 53% of the time when they have a lead. Herbert has been rushing the ball more since recovering from his high-ankle sprain. The Bengals’ run defense is allowing the 5th most EPA. Start Herbert.

QB, Russell Wilson – Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens (31st)

Baltimore’s defense has not been good against the pass this season. Their young defensive backs are still coming together with a brand-new coaching staff. Kyle Hamilton is a stud, but this group is allowing the 2nd most fantasy points to Quarterbacks, They are allowing the most fantasy points to the wide receiver position per game as well. Russell Wilson has been the QB7 since taking back over and he is winning. Arthur Smith has been doing a nice job with this offense and the offensive line looks much improved.

QB, Jameis Winston – Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints (9th)

Jameis Winston has been throwing the ball down the field and this offense has woken up. The Saints traded away Marshon Lattimore and fired their Head Coach and defensive play caller Dennis Allen. This team started 2-0 and they have been a disaster since. Both Chris Olave and Rashid iShaheed are on the Injured Reserve. New Orleans is a team to attack now and Jameis is a streaming option this week if you are in a pinch.

Deeper Options:  Tua Tagovailoa vs. Las Vegas

TE, Dawson Knox – Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs (31st)

Dawson Knox threw himself threw a table when the Buffalo Bills drafted him. He has been a solid contributor in the past, but other options have buried him on the depth chart. Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman are OUT this week, Amari Cooper is questionable. The Kansas City Chiefs have also allowed the most fantasy points to the tight end position. Look for a Dawson Knox anytime TD this week and put him in your lineup.

TE, Jonnu Smith – Miami Dolphins vs. Las Vegas Raiders (28th)

Jonnu Smith has emerged as a solid tight-end option in the last few weeks. Starting Week 4, Smith has had 31 targets in 5 games. He has caught 24 passes for 269 yards and 1 Touchdown. This was before Tua returned and after, the consistency has been important. Look to see if Jonnu Smith is available in your leagues if you need a tight-end option. He could be a solid depth piece beyond Week 11.

TE, Hunter Henry – New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Rams (24th)

Hunter Henry has been solid at times for fantasy football this year. But, he has also been extremely inconsistent. It can be frustrating chasing the points and trying to figure out when to play him. But, that can be said for a lot of the tight-end market. If you can’t get Jonnu or Knox in the lineup, Hunter Henry is a solid option with great upside. Henry has been the top-target on the Patriots offense all year and he is on the field 84% of the snaps.

Deeper Options:  Brock Wright vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

D/ST – Houston Texans @ Dallas Cowboys (25th)

The Houston Texans are coming off a big upset win on Monday Night Football. Dallas is coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Quarterbacks combined to rank dead last in EPA per play and success rate. Cooper Rush finished with negative fantasy points and CeeDee Lamb was a bust. The Cowboys have quickly become a team to target for fantasy defenses. Looking for Danielle Hunter and company to take advantage of a plus matchup in Dallas.

D/ST – Los Angeles Rams Vs. New England Patriots (28th)

The Los Angeles Rams defensive line has come together, they are currently 9th in pass-rate in the NFL. Jared Verse and Byron Young are both upcoming outside pass rushers. Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske are two of the top young interior pass rushers in the league. New England’s offense is much better under Drake Maye, but they still lack firepower. Their offensive line is still beatable and this is one of my favorite streams of the week.

D/ST – Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears (21st)

The Chicago Bears won the offseason, but they have not won much since. Caleb Williams told their Punter that he wasn’t going to have to punt much.  Tory Taylor has more Punting Yards (2,153) than Caleb Williams does passing (2,021). They just fired their offensive coordinator. Green Bay’s defense is solid, ranking 12th in catch rate allowed and 9th in EPA allowed per play. They have the third most interceptions and Caleb currently grades out the 5th worst passer in the league.

Deeper Option:  Cleveland Browns vs. New Orleans Saints
