Player Pos Team Opponent Start / Sit Comment
Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE NYJ CLE START ASJ served his two game suspension then came in with respectable weeks establishing himself as a key target for McCown. This week he gets one of the easiest matchups for tight ends. I expect 4+ catches and a good shot at a TD
Frank Gore RB IND SF START I guess you could call this a revenge game and a great matchup. Gore has a solid chance at putting in some numbers. There is some headwind with Marlon Mack returning and Turbin's goal line vulturing possiblity. But, I'll roll with Gore this week.
Wayne Gallman RB NYG DEN SIT Gallman was a pricey add on the FAAB sites this week. However, his debut as the new starter for the Giants gets a cold welcome with the Denver defense that has been shutting down running games this year.
Jaron Brown WR ARI PHI START Jaron Brown is starting to assert himself in the pecking order for the Cardinals. He's coming off a break-out game and Philadelphia's weak passing defense awaits.
TY Hilton WR IND SF START Hilton has struggled without Luck in the lineup. Brissett gets another start and he's beginning to find his way. Hilton has a good matchup and a good chance to put up his second startable number this year.
Deonte Thompson WR CHI MIN START The Bears start their rookie QB this weekend. It's an unusual move to debut the rookie on Monday Night Football, but it lined up with a long week to work him in coming off a Thursday matchup. The rookie will need to rely on a receiver, and I think it will be Thompson. It's a tough matchup, but I'll roll the dice on Thompson.
