rallo 132 Posted October 9, 2017 Don't look now, but Ricardo Louis has averaged 8 targets per game since Coleman went down with a broken hand. In fact, he has been the Brown's best receiver in those weeks outperforming Britt and Higgins combined. Whether it's Britt's lack of effort, or HIggins lack of size, I think Louis is the WR to own moving forward (that's not saying much). This week he gets the Texans who will be playing without Watt and Mercilus which could mean Kizer could get a little more time in the backfield... tack on to that a suddenly explosive Texans offense, and you could see the Browns having to play from behind most of the day. This week he will either draw Joseph at CB (who is 4" shorter than Louis) or Johnson/Jackson (Johnson is dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of the KC game.) 1% owned... I think that climbs after this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rallo 132 Posted October 9, 2017 It might not change the Louis outlook, but will Kizer even start going forward? Very true... looking into the last two weeks the targets went like this vs NYJ 8 targets, 3 Kizer, 5 Hogan vs CIN 9 targets 4 Kizer, 5 Hogan so definitely hard to say, mostly even with a slight potential uptick when Hogan was in.

Maulers1973 117 Posted October 9, 2017 At RB, I think A. Jones might be available in most leagues. TE Ed Dickson obviously! TE Griffin of Texans could worth picking up or even George Kittle of the 49ers. Might think about TE Harris as Kelce has a concussion. At WR, maybe Will Fuller is available in some leagues or Marquis Goodwin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted October 9, 2017 Lost Clay and have no confidence in Engram @ Denver. ASJ is the first TE I'm targeting. If I can't get him I'm going to try to get Dickson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrmcguire 36 Posted October 9, 2017 I would think Engram should have a decent game against Denver, with all their other receiving options out.....I too lost Clay and have Jimmy Graham on a bye other options are Dickson, Hunter Henry, Kittle, Ryan Griffin(they are playing Cleveland***) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I shudder thinking of what Broncos pass D is gonna do to Eli and that O-line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted October 9, 2017 A word of caution with ASJ. Part of his success against Cleveland was scheme. They play the safety 20 yards off the line of scrimmage. ASJ might be good, but he might have been the most open player all day Sunday (minus the TD to Kearse). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 9, 2017 Lewis wr for the Gmen, Thought about him but the Giants have Denver, Seattle and then a bye. I honestly would not feel comfortable spending a high waiver/big budget on Lewis. I might let others grab him and pick up Travis Rudolph for free once waivers clear.

xxxdog 23 Posted October 10, 2017 McKinnon might have locked into as Vikings starter, completely outplayed Murray inside yards and as a receiver....Improved O-Line allowed McKinnon play up to his athletic physical talent & explosive speed....Could be a better waiver wire pickup over Marlon Mack , with higher useage as seen in the Vikes/Bears game.....

brotherbock 349 Posted October 10, 2017 Is McKinnon who we think he is though? It's sort of the known with him that makes you think it's just one game. McK's issue has always been mental. Has all the physical tools, but couldn't see holes, wasn't patient, etc. I didn't see the game last night--was able to listen to the radio enough for Boomer Esiason to declare Trubisky the second coming of the love child of Tom Brady and Steve Young after two drives. Did McK succeed by being able to see plays develop, see the field, etc? If so, then I think he might finally have come around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxdog 23 Posted October 10, 2017 I really believe McKinnon was aided in watching Cook, both are similar in size with McKinnon even a little faster and both being decent receivers...remember...Mckinnon college career at Georgia Southern he played mostly QB, again the O-Line improvement in 2017 plays heavy in possibly allowing McKinnon to showcase his true ability....

Oriole8159 86 Posted October 10, 2017 it might be like when Emmit went to the Cards over 1000 total yards and 9 TDs his last year in AZ; highly inefficient in actual play but that doesn't matter for fantasy purposes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Bum 1 Posted October 11, 2017 Peterson just traded to Arizona. Just great I picked up Ellington last week. Not sure AD is going to do much behind the sorry Ari O line I don't see Ellington being affected at all. He will still get his catches and occasional carries. I picked him up last week as well. Not worried. ADP is basically just swapping roles with Chris Johnson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 988 Posted October 11, 2017 I see Andre Ellington being affected because I was hoping he would become a 3 down back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brutal Brutus 182 Posted October 11, 2017 I see Andre Ellington being affected because I was hoping he would become a 3 down back.Ellington never had a chance at being a three down back. He's proven to be too brittle to take repeated hits between the tackles. His passing role will likely stay the same with Peterson. However, the wide receiving core being healthy will change the volume he sees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Viking14 5 Posted October 11, 2017 McK was always a third down back and with the offensive line being worthless he spent more time staying in than going out. I just picked up Mck and Peterson - probably not to play, but will watch. I am carrying an extra RB right now. I still do not understand McCaffrey I wanted him thinking Stewart would get hurt, tired or sleepy, but touches are still going elsewhere. Peterson does not know how to do anything else, and may be his last chance to have a job. Mckinnon may get some play the next couple of games. I hope they take him off of the kickoff return.

rallo 132 Posted October 11, 2017 Signs point to Kizer being benched, which could mean a slight uptick in targets for Ricardo Louis... I think his floor is 5-50 this week, which is not bad in a deep league if you are desperate (injuries/byes) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
