Robbie Anderson-WR- Cardinals

After a bizarre exchange between the Panthers' coaching staff and Robbie Anderson last Sunday against the Rams, the Arizona Cardinals decided to acquire Anderson from Carolina to fill in for injured wide out Marquise Brown. Besides the first week of the regular season when Anderson recorded five receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown, he hasn't done anything in the 2022 season. With Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray struggling this season, Anderson could help get Murray back on track and find some momentum for the remainder of the year. The Cardinals face the Saints this week, whose defense has allowed the 7th most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. Pick up Anderson for a buck today.

 

Tyquan Thornton- WR- Patriots

One rookie to keep your eye on in dynasty and keeper leagues is Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton. He started the year on the injured reserve list but joined the team in week five. Last game against the Browns, Thornton caught four balls for 37 yards and a touchdown. He also added three carries for 16 yards and a score. There is not a clear-cut number one receiver in New England, and Thornton has an opportunity to cement himself in the starting lineup with another game where he scores. The Patriots face the Bears this week and Mac Jones could get the start if he's feeling better. See if Thornton becomes the guy in New England for a dollar this week.

 

 

 

Kenyan Drake- RB- Ravens

If J.K. Dobbins can't play this Sunday against the Browns, fantasy owners should look at picking up Kenyan Drake. Last week against the Giants after Dobbins exited the game with a knee injury, Drake rushed 10 times for 119 yards and a touchdown. The Browns' defense has given up the third most fantasy points to running backs this season. If you need a running back to fill in for a player on a bye week, pick up and start Drake if Dobbins is out.

 

 

 

D'Onta Foreman- RB- Panthers

It might be worth stashing D'Onta Foreman on your bench just in case running back Christian McCaffrey gets traded. Even though McCaffrey will get the bulk of the carries, Foreman looks like the backup running back after recording five carries last week. You can get him for a dollar, and he might not end up playing that much for a while. But if McAffrey does get traded or hurt, Foreman could become a useful fantasy football player. Get him today for a buck and hold on to him for a few weeks.

 

 

 

Kenny Pickett/ Mitch Trubisky- QB- Steelers

Fantasy owners might want to consider one of the starting quarterbacks for the Steelers this week against the Dolphin. You can get either Kenny Pickett or Mitch Trubisky for a dollar, and they face a Miami's defense that has allowed the fifth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Starting quarterback Kenny Pickett might miss Sunday's game due to a concussion, so you may want to hold off to see who gets the start. If you are desperate for a QB, you can get either quarterback a buck.

 

 

 

Jake Ferguson- TE- Cowboys

While Dalton Schultz will be the starting tight end when healthy, Jake Ferguson is a good prospect to keep on your team in keeper and dynasty leagues. He showed off his athleticism Sunday night against the Eagles when he recorded four receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown. Even if Schulz returns healthy, Ferguson has a ton of upside. He could be worth keeping on your bench and seeing if he ends up getting more playing time this year. I would pick him up for a dollar this week.
