Ryan Tannehill- QB- Titans

Even though Rayn Tannehill has struggled without Derrick Henry opening up the passing attack, he may be worth picking up and starting this week, especially if you end up having a player land on the covid lIst. He gets one of his best targets back this week in A.J. Brown, and he faces a 49ers defense that has a poor secondary. The 49ers have given up the 13th most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year. Pick up and start Tannehill if you need a quarterback.

 

Rondale Moore- WR- Cardinals

With DeAndre Hopkins out for the year, Rondale Moore may be someone worth picking up. He's struggled to get consistent receptions with the signing of Zach Ertz, but Moore has big-play ability that makes him worth stashing on your bench or inserting in your lineup if you need a wide receiver. The Cardinals face the Colts on Saturday, whose defense has given up the 10th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Pick him up for a buck today.

 

 

 

Donovan Peoples-Jones- WR- Browns

Now that he's starting to be consistently healthy, it may be worth looking at Donovan Peoples-Jones this week against the Packers. In the last two games, he has at least seven targets, and he faces a Packers defense that's allowed the 16th most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. He's the only deep-threat option in Cleveland. He's worth picking up and playing for a dollar.

 

 

 

Jordan Howard- RB- Eagles

Even with Miles Sanders playing fanatic, Jordan Howard is worth rostering. The Eagles run-game has been awesome over the last seven games, and Howard has benefited from a much improved offense. Last week against the Washington football team, he had 15 carries for 59 yards. The Eagles don't want to use Sanders too much, which means Howard will see plenty of carries moving forward. Pick up Howard this week and start him against the Giants defense that has allowed the 9nth most fantasy points to running backs this season.

 

 

 

Justin Jackson- RB- Chargers

If Austin Ekeler can't play this week due to Covid, fantasy owners should pick up Justin Jackson. Last week against the Chiefs, Jackson saw 13 carries for 86 yards. The Chargers face the Texans this week, whose defense has allowed the 5th most fantasy points to running backs this year. Get Jackson now for a buck if you have Ekeler.

 

 

 

Evan Engram- TE- Giants

Even though the Giants offense is in shambles, fantasy owners may want to look at Evan Engram, who has a decent matchup. The Giants face the Eagles this week, whose defense has allowed the most points to tight ends this season. If you are desperate for a tight end, Engram may be worth picking up and starting.
