Add Him, Screw Him

Week 7, time to get serious. 

ADD HIM


#1 Andre Holmes


It looks like Carr has a new favorite target.  With no legit other offensive weapons, grab the best of the worst.  He has 20 targets, 9 receptions, and 200 yds in the past 2 games.  Holmes goes  against one of the worst Passing D's in the NFL this weekend, Arizona gives up 309 yards per game and 8.1 Yards per reception.  Carr looks a little better each week, and is borderline legit.  If you need a WR3 or week flex option, pick him up


Demon Projection:  7 receptions, 86 yds, TD


#2 Brandon LaFell


He was good last year with Cam, not GREAT, but did have some solid games.  He seems to be a deep threat boom or bust player.  Past 2 games he is averaging over 20 yards per reception, and could get you 3 points one week, or 23 points the next.  If you are willing to take the gamble with a Belichick player, he could pan out.  He's done it before, and I like the matchup against the Jets.  WR's have been torching NY all season, and with the running game in shambles and question marks, Brady will throw the ball 35 PLUS times Thursday night.  Hes gonna KILL you some weeks, but will pay off in others.


Demon Projection:  5 Receptions,  62 yds, TD


#3 Tre Mason


This is more of a speculative/ dynasty/ Keeper league ADD.  Get him.  He's good.  He looked really good last night, he made 5 above average plays and was only out on the field for 10 snaps.  Zac Stacy is NOT good.  If you grabbed him in the 2nd or 3rd round this year, you should be ashamed of yourself.  Benny Cunningham is a nice change of pace back, but will never carry the rock 20 times per game.  Mason will, it wont be immediate, but its coming.   By late November he will be the lead back, and a talented one at that.


Demon Projection:  7 carries for 40 yards, 2 receptions 15 yards


SCREW HIM


#1  Jerick McKinnon


He had one great game against Atlanta where he went off.  Congrats, so does every other RB that faces The Falcons.  Asiata, has not looked great, but he is the better of the 2.  McKinnon is the flavor of the week, but averaged 3.6 yards/carry against Detroit last week and only 3.4 against a terrible run defense in GB.  If you have a spot pick him up, but don't drop anyone significant for him INCLUDING ASIATA.


Demon Projection:    Pick him up this week, back on the waiver wire by week 10


#2  Eli Manning


He is awful.  He hasn't been good in years.  He randomly will throw in a great game every 4 or 5 starts.  But will have stat lines of this in the middle :  21/45 for 187 yards, 1 TD, 4 Int.  He is not a good fantasy QB nor is he a good real life QB.  Its not worth the headache to even own him.  Drop him, pick up Blake Bortles or Locker.


Demon Projection:  He will walk to the sideline with a sulk on his face after Dallas picks him off for the 3rd time


#3  Bernard Pierce


Half of the public will look at the scoring only and see that he scored a TD this weekend.  He carried the ball 15 TIMES FOR 32 YARDS, that's 2.1 yards per attempt.  Don't get cute, Forsett is the guy, Pierce is3rd best RB on this team.  Don't waste a claim or your time on him


Demon Projection:  Forsett, Forsett, Forsett
