Hates:
QB Andy Dalton CIN $7,900
Dalton did not look good on Monday night. He has yet to throw for 250 yards in a game in the last month either. Going on the road to Arizona and matching up against those corners is going to make things even worse. Avoid Andy this week.
QB Kirk Cousins WAS $6,900
Cousins had only had two great weeks all year. That was against Tampa and New Orleans. Go figure. He gets a brutal matchup against Carolina this week. I would avoid all Redskins except for Reed if possible.
RB LeSean McCoy BUF $7,500
The Patriots put up points so fast that it’s hard to justify starting a RB against them. McCoy has only caught more than three passes once this year. If you have to throw and you aren’t getting receptions you’re not going in my lineup.
RB Justin Forsett BAL $6,900
About a month ago it looked as if Forsett was about to turn the corner and save his season for where we thought he would be. Instead he has put up poor numbers his last two games against Jacksonville and San Diego. Two teams that are really bad against the run. I’m not buying into him changing it against the Rams.
RB Jeremy Hill CIN $6,500
I doubt that you would look to be playing him this week but I’ll still include him here. Hill only gets the rushes while Bernard gets the passes. Hill hasn’t had a rushing touchdown in six games and with Arizona I’ll go with seven.
WR DeAndre Hopkins HOU $8,900
With Hoyer out he should be nowhere close to your starting lineup for that amount of money especially with a matchup against the Jets.
WR Demaryius Thomas DEN $7,700
WR Emmanuel Sanders DEN $7,600
Brock Osweiler is in at QB this week. He was a second round pick back in 2012, but has only thrown 54 passes in his career. He is such a crapshoot on what he will do this week. I’m not one to play that game of risk.
WR Alshon Jeffery CHI $7,500
It pains me so much to put him on this list. Jeffery is one of my favorite players and he was my top WR in his draft class. However he did not put up many yards at all in a blowout last week and he gets the hardest fantasy matchup for WRs while still dealing with injury.
WR Donte Moncrief IND $6,100
Moncrief is not on the same page with Hasselbeck as Luck. The Falcons also allow the fourth fewest points to opposing WRs. Don’t like Moncrief even with his value for this week.
TE Jimmy Graham SEA $5,800
He is tempting because he gets a matchup against San Francisco who has struggled greatly in every way lately. However Graham is just so inconsistent and Seattle doesn’t throw the ball much. I expect a big day for Rawls and Lynch but not for Graham.
