The Fantasy section is back on Touchdown News, every Saturday you will find our advice, our favorites and the pitfalls to avoid.
The absent ones
The 2021 striker has been on the wing for several weeks, and the managers who have put insults on him this week, as well as wiping away his tears, will have to find a satisfactory alternative. In Ohio, Ja’Marr Chase will again be absent.
Miami Arrows rested, point purveyors will have to be elsewhere. New runners’ darling Kenneth Walker also arrived this week.
Quarterbacks
The safe bet: Kirk Cousins. Her duet with Justin Jefferson needs no introduction. Facing an underdog Dallas defense, the Cousins can continue their streak at home by averaging 22 points since the start of the season.
Player: Russell Wilson. Are there still reasons to believe it? Probably not ? But what’s worse than the Denver attack? The defense of the Raiders. What to think that Wilson could finally find his way.
Avoid: Matthew Stafford. Only one being is missing and everything is depopulated. Cooper Kupp’s injury doesn’t bode well for the Rams or their quarterback’s stats.
Run back
The safe bet: David Montgomery. Herbert on the wing, Montgomery should find more space. In an offense that is doing better and against a defense that has allowed at least 18 points in four games in a row, the Wind City standard bearer could have one of his best weekends of the season.
Peers: Antonio Gibson. His ability to contribute from the backfield remains a strength against the team that allows the most points for the running back. In flex or even 2nd runner, Gibson could be a winning bet.
Avoid: D’André Swift. Reduced to a statement role due to her physical flaws, Swift is in the shadow of Jamaal Williams. This week should confirm this trend.
Receivers
The safe bet: Amon Ra St. Brown. Back in sight (point 22.10) after a complicated month of October, St. Brown will still be the main support for Jared Goff, still without Chark.
The peers : Kadarius Toney. He showed more in 2 games with the Chiefs than in a year and a half with New York. At ease in Andy Reid’s attack, Toney could continue his rise, perhaps taking advantage of Smith-Schuster’s agency.
Avoid: DJ Moore. With Baker Mayfield again leading the attack, David Moore could slip back into anonymity and drag out his sentence on the field again.
Narrow end
The safe bet: Tyler Higbee. Cooper Kupp absent, Matt Stafford will need dens and his tight end should be a value on the number of balls caught.
Peers: Hayden Hurst. Still without Chase, Burrow must look elsewhere for targets. With Minkah Fitzpatrick very uncertain, the player could gain freedom and become a good plan in a season where few tight ends offer guaranteed points.
Avoid: Kyle Pitts. Still far from his 2021 standards, Pitts remains too uncertain a value to continue taking any chances.
Top 5 waivers of the week
1. Christian Watson – WR
2. Van Jefferson-WR
3. DeAndre Carter-RB
4. Foster Moreau – TE
5. Jerick McKinnon – RB
The Griz’League
A magic square comes off and flies at full speed towards the playoffs. Thanks to the victory over Alex, Elioth resumes the march forward, he takes Antoine with him who wins against Brice on the sly.
In the duel at the top, it is Alain who emerges victorious against Tiffany. Simple stop for the leader or start of doubts?
Victor and Xavier are in the playoff zone thanks to their respective victory over Marc and Greg. While the improvement is confirmed for the Roman champion who returns to the race.
