High Priced Wide Receivers

Antonio Brown (9,300): Brown is crazy expensive, but its hard to argue with his back-to-back weeks of over 20 FanDuel points.  He posted an immense 32 last week against the 49ers, and will look to continue his dominance this week on the turf in St. Louis. With Le’Veon Bell returning, Brown could get fewer looks, but since he’s still the only real receiving threat and the Steelers throw the ball all day long, he’s always a good play if you can afford the money. Remember how high-scoring the Seahawks-Rams game was in week 1, so if you can fit him under your salary cap he could be an option that pays off again.

Randall Cobb (8,200): No team in the NFL has given up more fantasy points to opposing wide receivers than the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though Randall Cobb has been dealing with a shoulder injury, hopefully the extra day this week gives him a chance to get even healthier as he prepares for what should be a thrilling Monday Night Football game.  Cobb caught eight of 11 targets on Sunday even against the “Legion of Boom” for 116 yards, so he should be able to take advantage of the Chiefs secondary for a big week-closing game on Monday. While Aaron Rodgers spreads the wealth, Cobb is clearly his most potent and his most often-targeted option.

Julian Edelman (7,700): Edelman is consistently productive and has posted almost identical  lines in both of the Patriots wins this season.  He caught 11 passes for 97 yards in each of the first two weeks but he added in a pair of trips to the end zone in week 2 in Buffalo. He posted over 15 FanDuel points in both weeks, though, and will again be a good pick this week since he gets so much attention from Tom Brady in the Patriots passing game.

Brandon Marshall (7,400): Marshall has caught a touchdown in each of his first two games with the Jets and totaled 163 yards on his 13 catches.  He has over 15 FanDuel points in each of his first two games and is in a pretty good matchup this week against the Eagles.  Eric Decker is also dealing with an injury which could lead to more Marshall targets.
