Colossus hit on some excellent value plays for Yahoo this week, and once again the Colin Kaepernick love is real. Paying down at QB is the way to go, and Kap does have upside. We have seen it, it is just always a constant guessing game with his play. At home against a battered Ravens defense, I will take my chances here. He looked good against the Giants, but now can he put two good weeks up in a row.
$10 Charcandrick West, he is a bare-minimum play, and will be a popular one. He is expected to out touch Knile Davis, and the Vikings rush defense ranks in the bottom half. Should easily return value. Justin Forsett has the ankle injury, but Harbaugh played it down. It is not a high ankle sprain, which is great news. The Ravens have game him a high volume of touches the last two weeks, leading to a 5.7 YPC. You have to love that.
Colossus has a crush on DeAndre Hopkins this week, and it all makes sense. He is leading the league in targets, and just putting up monster games on a bad team. I really like the wide receivers from this game, and Allen Robinson is another one. The Jags have a pretty nice passing attack going for them, and Robinson has put up a lot of nice lines already this season. It should be him and Hurns again this week. Larry Fitzgerald continues to be consistent, even though the Cards are up by 20+ points in the fourth quarter of games. He is Palmer's favorite weapon, and after a disappearance, Fitz is back. Jordan Matthews catches a lot of flack, but it isn't his fault that the Eagles use every single skill player on their team. His price continues to drop, and the Eagles are finally scoring points. A big line is coming.
Martellus Bennett received his targets last week, but didn't accumulate for much. With the injuries in the receiving core, his targets will be safe until they all return. While Alshon Jeffrey and Eddie Royal are up in the air for Sunday's game, Bennett is a safe play for now.
Jets defense at home against the Washington Redskins. Lock them in for me! If I am not paying up for Denver, New York is a great mid-priced play.
The GPP projections have a few changes. The Bortles-Hurns duo has been clicking lately, and that should continue in week 6. Much like the Bucs-Jags last week, Texans-Jags could be a high scoring affair. Plenty of plays on both sides here.
The Marquess Wilson play will all determine on the health of the other wideouts, but as of now stands out as one of the best value plays on the board. He has been linking up with Cutler, and his usage really grew last week. We are also paying up for Gronk in this lineup. I am very afraid of the damage he could do to the Colts this week. He is one Pats player that will be in most of my lineups, if not all.
Paying up for some big names, a value defense is needed. The Dolphins offense has not been great, which threw many of us off guard. Projections have Tennessee ranked fairly high, and if you are asking why, he is the answer. Titans rank third in pass defense, per Football Outsiders. They do rank 28th in rush defense. Miami has only rushed the ball 65 times this season, dead last in the league. Curious to see their game plan this week.
