Wide Receiver: JuJu Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers

vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Sunday 1:00 p.m.

FanDuel Cost: $7,200

Antonio Brown dominated the targets with 16, but JuJu Smith-Schuster was able to get eight targets from Ben Roethlisberger. Smith-Schuster showed yet again that he is a big-play threat with a 67-yard reception.

Despite some hiccups, the Steelers offense looked good without Le’Veon Bell. This unit has a ton of weapons which makes it difficult for defenses to matchup.

Some feel that Smith-Schuster is big-play dependent which hurts his value. However, he has done nothing but produce. Smith-Schuster is a more rounded receiver than he’s given credit for which is why I’m more than comfortable throwing him into my fantasy lineup.

Wide Receiver: Emmanuel Sanders, Denver Broncos

vs. Oakland Raiders, Sunday 4:25 p.m.

FanDuel Cost: $6,800

Sanders looks re-energized with Case Keenum under center. It’s obvious that he grew frustrated with the shaky quarterback play in years past. Sanders is a sound route runner who needs a more accurate quarterback to be at his best.

Last week wasn’t a one-time performance as I expect Sanders to put up strong numbers for most of the year.

The matchup against the Oakland Raiders should provide Sanders with another opportunity to shine. Oakland won’t be able to matchup with all the weapons the Broncos can run out there in passing situations.

Wide Receiver: Chris Godwin, Tampa Buccaneers

vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday 1:00 p.m.

FanDuel Cost: $6,100

The Buccaneers aren’t going to put up 48 points each week, but their passing attack looks very potent. They have three big-time threats in Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson and Godwin at wide receiver.

It’s going to be interesting to see how they distribute the workload, but Godwin will be a part of the action. He is a physical receiver who does a lot of damage in the red zone.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is obviously comfortable throwing the ball up for grabs and letting Godwin fight for possession. Opposing defenses are going to focus on slowing down Evans which should give Godwin some good matchups.
