FantasyFitz's Week 5 Minaj A Trois

Viagra Play of the Week - Tom Brady $7,500 (Patriots QB)

(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)

He is back. He is pissed. He is playing the Browns. They could have made the price $20,000, and I would have found a way to work him in. Your resident Jet fan is all-in on TB12. 

Viagra P.S. - Talented backs have been able to score fantasy points against the Broncos defense, so $5,000 for Devonta Freeman seems like something we should all be doing. With all due respect to Tev Coleman's sickle cell situation, I think that it lines Freeman up more work. Devonta is a legit RB1 in all formats. Coming off a bye, and playing at Lambeau, I love me some Jordy Nelson for less than $8K. 

BBW - Lamar Miller $6,300 (Texans RB)

(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)

While we still do not know exactly what SKOL means, I can confirm for you that we are still all about the SKOL at NYMWS. The Vikings defense is still currently the official bad ass defense of NYMWS, and I am not about to pay $6,300 for a back going against them. In this RB ugly world we are living in, you are still starting Lamar in a season long, but there is no need to pay his DraftKing price. I expect him to finish the week outside the top 15, and his price tag suggest otherwise. With that being said, I do not hate the idea of buying low on L-Mills after he struggles this week. 

  

Moped Ride of the Week - James White $3,900 (Patriots RB)

(This guy will be fun to ride for the week, but you're not going to want to brag to your friends about doing it)

Since TB12 is back, that means the role of productive pass catching Pats' running back is also back. With our guy Neon Dion Lewis still kicking it on the PUP list, that leaves James White to star in that role this week. Besides Brady's return, the other two things working for White are that the match up is favorable, and that Clay's fellow weed smoker LaGerrette Blount is a little nicked up. Blount carried the load sans Brady, so expect Billy Belichick to let the passing game rest an injured Blount with his veteran signal caller back under center. Sneaky slick QB/RB stack with Brady and White.  

Moped P.S. - Since Brady is a heel, expect the $4,100 Chris 'Hollywood' Hogan to finally come out rocking the 'NWO Black and White', and that should lead to fantasy relevance. They went out and got him for a reason. It seems like this Kyle 'The Red Nose' Rudolph thing is really happening, so for $3,600 it is worth rolling the dice to see if the Vikes tight end can score in his fourth straight game. This Giants' wideout Odell Beckham Jr. seems like a guy who is worth a dart throw. He has not scored yet this year, but, like, he might. I play the millionaire maker, so MNF does not qualify, but I ain't scared to roll Jizz Rodgers out with Sims and Dougie doubtful.
