Major offensive teams have bye weeks this week, which means people will be looking deep on their bench for starters on their fantasy football team. Which players are going to provide a spark?

This is the first week where fantasy football players really need to dig deep in order to find the right lineup. Sure, bye weeks started last week, but the Atlanta Falcons and New York Jets taking a week off really isn’t going to hurt your team. However, the Dallas Cowboys taking the week off probably impacts 75% of fantasy owners in one way, shape, or form. Dak Prescott had another huge week against New England, and Ezekiel Elliott looks like a first-round pick again.

Some of the other top players in the league have the week off as well. Dalvin Cook, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, James Robinson, and Najee Harris are all off your roster this week. Those are some of the best players at every major position. Also, losing Dawson Knox from what has been a dreadful year for tight ends is incredibly hard to replace.

What are some bold predictions for this week in NFL fantasy football?

This week is where fantasy players earn their money. The matchups seem unfair, and the opponents always seem to have better bye luck than you, but play that waiver wire hard and find those interesting pieces that can save you. Here are a few moves to make in order to find a win in a hard week of fantasy football.
