Viagra Play of the Week - DeAndre Hopkins $7,100 (Texans WR)
(This guy is guaranteed to erect your point total)
Back in the preseason, I was lower on Nuk than the rest of the folks. I had him as my WR7, and I wrote the following about it...
"Brock will be an upgrade for Nuk, but not a Dalton, Rodgers, or even Bortles upgrade."
So thankfully, I am not dealing with a Nuk problem. I have tried to buy low on the guy though. I think he is poised to get going down the stretch, as the JJ-less Texans are somehow lined up to make a strong push for the playoffs. Brock will finally start to look like an upgrade for DeAndre against a sketchy Jacksonville defense. He will be a top 3 scorer at the position this week, and we do not have to pay a top 3 price to use him.
Viagra P.S. - Another guy who has been underperforming, but will get going this week, is my fellow fashionista Cam Newton. His price has fell accordingly, but I love the idea of buying low and getting my hands on him for a fantasy playoff push. The Chiefs' defense is going to bring their goods, but Cam's home cooking will help the real Cam Newton make an appearance in Week 10. If Cam's going to get going, it is worth $6,800 to stack his boy Kelvin Benjamin. When the Cheifs' offense takes the field, their best offensive weapon, Spencer Ware, will make his return from his concussion injury. Coach Reid said he is ready to rock, so roll S-Dubs into your lineups.
BBW - Greg Olsen $5,900 (Panthers TE)
(Blue Balls Warning - This guy will leave you painfully unsatisfied and wanting more)
While our Viagra P.S. Cam Newton will have a day, he will not be including Greg Olsen in the party. As I mentioned, the Chiefs' defense is going to bring their goods, and one of their goods is limiting the opposing tight end. There are much cheaper, more attractive options this week at the position. I am going with Jimmy Graham for $600 less, and you can also save even more, and dive down into the Miller/Ertz/Rudolph dumpster for more fantasy points.
Moped Ride of the Week - Darren Sproles $4,300 (Eagles 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)
Sproles is probably a little too sexy to be a Moped Ride, but he is one of the cheaper cats in my lineup, and heck, I make the rules! He is the top back for Eagles, and will be one of the top backs in the weird PPR format this week. I am all in on the "Frank Reich is using him like Danny Woodhead" reports (s/o to Mort, Berry, and anyone I am missing). I will even go as far to say he is an RB1 in standard scoring.
Moped P.S. - Dontrelle Inman gets the nod as the healthy Charger who is going to catch some passes from the Window Throwa this week. He will definitely be outscoring his $3,400 price tag against a fish-out-of-water Dolphin defense traveling west. I hope Clay's reading this.
