Not too many injuries effecting fantasy lineups that were announced later this week. Most of the questionable players are expected to play and those who were listed doubtful are planning to be out. This is a different lineup than the Wednesday version with a different emphasis.
Next: Best NFL player from each state
This lineup was built around saving money at three positions, second running back, tight end and defense. Aaron Jones is clearly the best running back on the Packers and without their top three receivers should be the centerpiece of the offense. David Njoku is getting more targets weekly and coming into his own as the athletic playmaker that Cleveland envisioned when they drafted him. Philip Rivers is set for a big game against an Oakland team that can not rush the passer.
The four wide receivers are all higher priced options with Brown being a value play and a comfortable start. Corey Davis is in the midst of a breakout season that should continue. Smith-Schuster and Diggs are two receivers that may not be the top options for their teams but have roles that enable them to produce. Finally David Johnson is going to have to get going eventually, he’s just too talented.
Good luck this week!
