Jared Goff- QB- Lions

After two below par weeks in a row, Jared Goff may be someone worth picking up for a dollar. Goff and Lions face the Dolphins, whose defense has given up the sixth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. He's played a lot better at home this season, recording 10 touchdowns in three games. The Lions might get back DeAndre Swift this week, who's not only helps open up the passing game, but he's also one of Goff's most important receivers. Pick up and start Goff this week if your QB is on a bye week.

 

Josh Reynolds- WR- Lions

Another Lions' player to consider picking up and starting this week is Josh Reynolds. Even though he didn't do much last week, Reynolds had three straight games with over eight targets, six receptions and 80 yards from weeks 3-5. Amon-Ra St. Brown could be inactive due to a concussion, which would mean more targets for Reynolds. The Lions face the Dolphins defense, that has allowed the sixth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Pick up Reynold for a dollar and he could have a big week.

 

 

 

Elijah Moore- WR- Jets

A week after asking for a trade, Jets' wide receiver Elijah Moore may be worth picking up this week for a buck. He could be in line to start with Corey Davis suffering from a MCL injury last week in Denver. Moore might not be worth playing this week, but if you are in a dynasty or keeper league, he should add to your team for a dollar. Last year as a rookie, he had five touchdowns and saw at least six targets in his last six games. He could be quality receiver, but he needs to see the targets. Look for that to change this week when the Jets face the Patriots.

 

 

 

Juwan Johnson- TE- Saints

If Adam Trautman doesn't play this week, fantasy owners may want to grab Juwan Johnson. Last game against the Cardinals, he recorded five receptions for 32 yards and two touchdowns. The Saints face the Raiders, whose defense has given up the 3rd most fantasy points to tight ends this year. If your tight end is on a bye week, pick up Johnson for a dollar and start him.

 

 

 

Tyler Allgeier- RB

Falcons' running back Tyler Allgeier is still available in almost half the leagues. Last week against the Bengals, he had 16 carries for 50 yards and one touchdown. The Falcons face the Panthers defense, that has given up the 9th most fantasy points to running backs this season. Allgeier is a potential keeper or dynasty league prospect and should be picked up immediately if he's still available. You can get him for a dollar in half the leagues this week.

 

 

 

Chuba Hubbard- RB- Panthers

With Christian McCaffrey being traded to the 49ers the week before, Panthers' running back Chuba Hubbard had a good fantasy outing against the Buccaneers. He recorded nine carries for 63 yards and a touchdown. He split time with D'Onta Foreman, who also recorded 15 carries for 118 yards, but they both should continue to spit touches moving forward. Hubbard did leave last week's game with an ankle injury, but he should be able to suit up this week when the Panthers face the Falcons. Pick him up this week if you need a running back.
