Justin Herbert (LAC)
What a meteoric rise it’s been for Herbert, who’s now finished as the QB7, QB4, and QB1 over his last three games. He’s completing 67.4 percent of his passes, averaging 8.4 yards per attempt, and throwing a touchdown on 6.5 percent of his attempts. Oh, he’s also rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns in five games. By comparison, Patrick Mahomes has completed 65.7 percent of his passes, averaging 7.8 yards per attempt, and throwing a touchdown on 6.6 percent of his attempts. Crazy, right? Especially when you consider his surrounding cast, offensive line, and coaching staff. Can he continue the magic against the Broncos, a defense that’s allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks through seven weeks? It’s kind of crazy they’ve allowed as many points they have to quarterbacks, as they’ve allowed the seventh-fewest yards per attempt (6.82), the ninth-lowest touchdown percentage (3.70 percent), and are generating a sack on 7.63 percent of dropbacks (seventh-most). All in all, they’ve allowed just 0.407 fantasy points per actual pass attempt, which is the ninth-lowest mark. So, how do they allow so many fantasy points? They’ve faced 36.0 pass attempts per game (10th-most) and have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points on the ground to quarterbacks. Herbert has proven himself enough to the point where you start him, even if the matchup isn’t great on paper. He’s a stable QB1.
Baker Mayfield (CLE)
Mayfield put on a show last week and he now gets to go up against a defense that is allowing the 4th most fantasy points to opposing QBs. While OBJ’s absence certainly puts a damper on Mayfield’s fantasy outlook, he showed that he can produce even with him out of the lineup. If you’re looking for a streaming option this week, Mayfield’s a fine option to plug into your lineup.

Le’Veon Bell (KC)
Bell saw six carries in his first game with the Chiefs and showed some explosiveness that simply hasn’t been there for the past few years. However, with CEH still above him on the depth chart, Bell’s not worth looking at as anything more than a mid-range RB3.
Justin Jackson (LAC)
We assumed that we had clarity on what this backfield was going to look like last week, but both options fell flat in a great matchup. Jackson’s a safe bet every single week due to his involvement in the receiving game, but we cannot be confident in how the carry splits are going to break down between the two options in this backfield. Jackson can be viewed as a low-end RB2 this week.

D.K. Metcalf (SEA)
He’s totaled 296 yards on passes that have traveled over 20 yards in the air, which ranks as the most in the NFL. His efficiency on those passes is ridiculous, as he’s caught 7-of-12 for 296 yards and three touchdowns. Still, it’s going to lead to some disappointing performances, like the one he had on Sunday night. The 49ers haven’t been a team to actively target with wide receivers, but it’s worth noting they’ve allowed four passes that have gone for 40-plus yards, which is the seventh-most in the league. It’s pretty crazy what Jason Verrett has done since re-joining the 49ers defense, as he’s allowed just 46 yards on 154 snaps in coverage. That 0.30 yards per snap is the lowest in football. Between Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley, they’ve allowed just 60.0 PPR points on 40 targets in coverage, or just 1.50 points per target. That would rank second in the NFL to only the Bears defense. All season, the 49ers have allowed just three top-24 receivers, with DeAndre Hopkins being the only No. 1 receiver on that list (others are Preston Williams and Braxton Berrios). Metcalf has game breaking one-play upside, so he can turn into a WR1 at any point, so you’re starting him in a game the Seahawks are likely to throw more than normal with their running back health issues. Start him as a high-end WR2 in redraft leagues but reserve him for tournaments in DFS.
Mike Evans (TB)
Chris Godwin in the lineup, Evans has been an afterthought. In the three games without Godwin, it’s been a different story. He’s seen 10, 8, and 9 targets in those three games, totaling 19 receptions, 267 yards, and three touchdowns. In case you’ve missed it, Godwin has been ruled out for this game with a broken finger. The Giants are going to have James Bradberry shadow him, which hasn’t been a pleasant experience for Evans throughout the last two years. In case you forgot, Bradberry shadowed him the last two years while in Carolina. The only game that Evans did well was the one he was targeted 17 times in. To be fair, it is a different defense that Bradberry’s playing for, and Evans has upgraded from Jameis Winston to Brady, but it’s something. Bradberry has done a solid job with No. 1 receivers this year: Travis Fulgham 5/73/0, Terry McLaurin 7/74/0, Amari Cooper 2/23/0, Robert Woods 6/35/0, and Allen Robinson 3/33/0. That’s pretty good, right? Still, it’s hard to see a scenario where Evans sees less than eight targets this week, so you have to get him back into lineups as a high-end WR2.
Jarvis Landry (CLE)
He’s now up to 39 targets without a touchdown, which ranks as the second-most in the league without a touchdown. He’s quietly averaging 9.4 yards per target, which is actually the highest number of his career. If he starts scoring touchdowns at a reasonable rate, he’ll be viewed much differently in fantasy. With Beckham out for the year, we should expect him to get a solid bump in targets, too. He’s averaged just 5.6 targets per game to this point, which is typically reserved for those in the WR4/5 range. The Raiders have faced 18.7 targets per game to wide receivers, so given how top-heavy the Browns have been, we should expect Landry to see at least six targets in this game. The Raiders slot cornerback is Lamarcus Joyner, who’s been mediocre in coverage, allowing 25-for-34 passing for 256 yards and… no touchdowns. But still, it’s not like he won’t get out of Joyner’s coverage at times. We saw both Chris Godwin and Cole Beasley score against the Raiders, so it’s not out of the question. Landry is moving up the rankings moving forward and should be considered a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 who comes with a solid floor.

Richard Rodgers (PHI)
With both Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert out of the lineup, Rodgers played as the primary tight end against the Giants, and he delivered. All in all, he played 69-of-81 snaps, saw eight targets, and netted 6/85/0 on them. We know how important the tight ends are in the Doug Pederson offense, so we shouldn’t be all that surprised. The Cowboys have allowed 40 yards and/or a touchdown to six different tight ends this year, including a four-catch, 60-yard, one-touchdown performance to Logan Thomas last week. He did all of that on just four targets. The 2.06 PPR points per target the Cowboys have allowed to tight ends ranks as the ninth-highest mark in the league. They’ve allowed the 10th-most points per game to tight ends despite seeing just 6.4 targets per game to them. Meanwhile, the Eagles have targeted their tight ends 11.7 times per game. Rodgers is someone you should consider as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 streamer.
Robert Tonyan (GB)
Remember when Tonyan was the No. 1 tight end in fantasy coming off his three-touchdown game against the Falcons? Since that time, he’s seen six targets and caught five passes for 57 yards. He has been trying to play through a few injuries, so maybe he’s getting healthier as the weeks go on? The Vikings don’t look so bad on paper against the tight end position, as they’ve allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position, but when you look at their efficiency numbers, they’re likely a top-five matchup for tight ends. They’ve allowed an 80.0 percent catch-rate (3rd-highest), 15.13 yards per reception (highest in NFL), 12.1 yards per target (most in NFL), and 2.41 PPR points per target (4th-highest). That doesn’t seem like such a brutal matchup, does it? We should pay attention to the injury reports because if Tonyan practices in full, he should be a solid low-end TE1/high-end TE2 streamer.
