8. Nelson Agholor, New England Patriots

Nelson Agholor has had steady, albeit low production so far in New England, catching 16-of-27 targets for 197 yards and a touchdown. This week though, I’m expecting a spike for him as well as a few other New England receivers due to the high-powered matchup against Dallas.

Dallas has been scoring early and often while also putting the hammer down on opposing offenses. The Patriots will have to ramp up offensive efforts to keep up with Dallas, and Agholor will benefit from that, making him an interesting target in daily fantasy lineups.

7. Adam Humphries, Washington Football Team

Adam Humphries has been quiet so far for Washington, likely because of the lack of opportunities. However, he’s in a prime position this week against Kansas City to see his opportunities increase.

The Chiefs defense has been brutal so far, and Humphries should be able to find soft spots along the middle of the field due to their linebackers’ inability to cover. Not to mention Washington will be playing from behind for the majority of the game.
