It’s the return of the Fantasy section on DNA of Sports, every Saturday find our tips, our favorites, and the pitfalls to avoid.
Last week before the start of the bye weeks, last opportunity to benefit from its entire workforce to compose its titular line up.
Quarterbacks
The safe bet: Aaron Rodgers. Enthusiastic, unlike his coach, at the idea of being in London for the first time, the quadruple MVP could find an ideal playground to definitively launch his season.
The bet: Teddy Bridgewater. Facing the Jets, replacing Tagovailoa could be the good surprise of the week. The New Yorkers allow more than 20 points per game to the opposing pitcher. Speedsters Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be valuable allies in helping the former Vikings quarterback shine. Even more in a super flex League with two quarterbacks.
Avoid: Matthew Stafford. The weeks go by and the champion’s quarterback always seems like a risky bet. Faced with the very solid defense of Dallas which concedes few points on the ground and in fantasy, Stafford should also be under very great pressure behind his porous line.
Running back
The safe bet: James Robinson. Struggling last week against the Eagles, this week will be the recovery week for Robinson. After scoring 3 touchdowns in the first 3 games, the Jaguars runner could resume his march forward against the average defense of the Texans, the team that gives the most points to opposing running backs.
The bet: Damien Harris. Facing the worst run defense in the NFL, the Patriots runner could find a stomping ground for a big weekend. Only satisfaction in a laborious attack, he remains on 3 touchdowns in the last three matches.
Avoid: James Conner. Big opposition for the runner from Arizona. Too big. While the Eagles have thwarted every running back they’ve come across, it shouldn’t be any different for a Conner who’s underperforming last season so far.
Receivers
The safe bet: Chris Godwin. Returning in Week 4 after two weeks out, Godwin was targeted 10 times. Promising. Facing the Falcons, Brady should once again rely on him to make the difference. Often performing against the division rival, Godwin should definitely mark his return to form. For the happiness of its launcher.
The bet: Robert Woods. With the rookie Burks package, Robert Woods becomes the primary aerial solution for the Titans. Against the Commanders, there should be room to shine and rack up some valuable points as your fantasy receiver 2 or 3.
Avoid: DJ Moore. Dependent on a poor Baker Mayfield, the receiver has dragged on his sentence since the start of the season. Unfortunately for him, facing the solid 49ers should not change the situation.
Top 5 waivers of the week
1. Teddy Bridgewater – QB
2. Tyler Allgeier – RB
3. Mike Boone – RB
4. Michael Gallup – WR
5. Tyler Conklin – TE
The Griz’League
First defeat for Antoine, weighed down by Greg Dortch. He leaves Marco alone in the lead and last undefeated in the league. Severe defeat for Alain, won by nearly 40 points from TJ Hockenson in Xavier’s team. After two defeats, Romain is recovering well helped by the great performances of Justin Jefferson and Travis Kelce.
Driven by its playmakers, Tiffany remains in the playoff zone thanks to a big victory over Mathieu. Conversely, Victor was weighed down by his captains and let Elioth return to a balanced balance sheet. Cooper Kupp’s 14 receptions created an unexpected comeback for Alexandre to unlock his counter at the expense of Grégory, still without a win and dead last.
