Hi Guys,
Been a while...
Well with that said, who should you be going after this week?
With Isaiah Pacheco out, Carson Steele is the pickup I'd go - 98% available, so go swoop him up, whilst Derek Carr is a thing for those of you in need of a QB - 91% available and with the weapons he's got, it seems like an obvious pick!
But you guys don't subscribe for the obvious do you?!
Let's get weird then; Foreman looked like a powerful runner in short bursts for the Browns and took the workload against the Jaguars in a positive game script. Expect the same, with his potentially limited health being exploited against the Giants. >98% available, nobody else will be looking at him.
We spoke today about Braelon Allen having a little standalone value, especially against a NE team who will take away the passing game and Breece being protected. 74% available, he's a steal. Pierce remains an obvious pickup, with 86% availability, whilst the TE position, as dire as it is, has an obvious pickup in Henry at 88% availability, the receiving lead in a tough game againt the Jets.
Everyone's already found JK Dobbins (thank you!), but still expect Gus to be involved and at 30% availability, he's still viable in a pinch. 18 carries last week, expect the same, if not more against the Steelers who will be a tough nut to crack. For the same reason I like Braelon Allen, take a look at Antonio Gibson - just enough volume and definitely enough efficiency to be useful - 78% available.
TE is gross, but with Skylar Thompson likely under centre, expect him to look for a big target. Jonnu at 97% availability is you upside pick, whilst Brenton strange (99.9%) is a potential redzone threat against the Bills if Engram continues to be out.
WR is also bare, but fire up your LV receivers everyone! Elsewhere in the AFC west, does QJ become a thing (5/6, 2TDs and 51), at 93% availability he may be an option in a weak passing game focused on efficiency, which is all you're asking for going up against the Steelers. Don't expect Iosivas to repeat his heroics, but you might get the same from Nailor (99.5%) against Houston. Sam Darnold loves to fling it around and a decent set of grabs from Jalen, he may be an answer if you have an underwhelming skill group.
Best wishes on the week ahead. Remember to submit your requests for merch (order this week) and if you want any more, SEPTSZN for an extra 15% off (you already get 10% for a membership!).

Sam
