NFL Recap: Lessons learned
How could I not put Marquise Brown here aka Hollywood Brown, the cousin of the infamous Antonio Brown? What an unbelievable day he had against the junior varsity Miami Dolphins. The problem is whether or not we should think that to be just a mirage or if it will be more of a trend going forward. Personally, Iām not sure. Everyone wanted to take victory laps pretty quickly because his point total was super high. He had two touchdowns and nearly 150 yards after all. However, break it down and you can look at it with a different lens. He only had four catches and the Dolphins are TERRIBLE. I canāt emphasize that enough. Is Brown the next DeSean JacksonĀ (who absolutely killed it this week too) with huge play upside but a possibly low floor or can he be consistent week to week? Something to watch for.
Sammy Watkinsā¦I mean holy sh*t right?!? It only took the guy like 7 years to finally become what we all hoped and he had to be in the best possible situation to make it happen. Do I think he can continue his unbelievable pace of 9 catches with 200 yards and 3 touchdowns? Of course not. Should you sell on him right now? Absolutely. However, I donāt mind holding steady either with Tyreek Hill injured. This offense isnāt going to slow down anytime soon and Sammy will come back to Earth a bit but heāll still produce nicely going forward. DO NOT BUY HIGH here though.
This next guy hits near and dear to my heart as a Buckeye fan. Iād be lying if I thought heād have a good year but I have to give the Redskins credit, they looked solid against the Eagles (at least for a half). A big reason for that is my guy Terry McLaurin. He put up a nice stat line of 7 targets with 5 catches and 125 yards and a touchdown with opportunity for plenty more. Case Keenum looked amazing getting the ball out and spreading it around for 380 yards. McLaurin will continue to burn defensive backs over the top and is worth a look on your waiver wire or possibly in your tournament DFS team.
