Fantasy Football Advice: Stats, Facts, and Tidbits

Julio Jones has three touchdowns in two games after catching only 8 during the entire 2018 season. He’s been targeted 21 times already this season and could be an elite option this week against a mediocre Colts defense.

Lamar Jackson (596 yards, 7 touchdowns, 126 rushing yards) will face Patrick Mahomes (821 yards, 7 touchdowns) in the premier matchup of the weekend. Both quarterbacks have been hyper-efficient, completing 71% of their throws and neither has thrown an interception yet. They are priced as the QB1 and QB2 on both FanDuel and Draftkings.

Dalvin Cook is your NFL leading rusher through two games, amassing 265 yards rushing on 41 carries. He’s also one of only two backs (with Marlon Mack being the other) who has 20+ rushing attempts in both games this season.

John Ross is your NFL receiving leader through two games with 270 yards on only 11 receptions for an amazing 24.5 yards per catch. He’s proven to be a deep threat for Andy Dalton with touchdown catches of 55 and 66 yards already.

In a league filled with skilled pass-catching tight ends like Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, and George Kittle, it’s been Mark Andrews that has stood out with two hundred yard performances and a touchdown in each of his first two games.
