STUDS

1.  Tank Dell

Tank finally got his opportunity to shine Against New England with Nico Collins on IR, and boy, did he shine with 18.7 PPR Fantasy points. He has vaulted himself into WR2  territory over the next few weeks as this offense will continue to find him and Stefon Diggs the ball early and often. If he’s on your way for wire, pick him up immediately, or if he’s just sitting on your bench, consider starting him against a very up-and-down Packers defense this week. 

2. Jordan Love

We were very excited about Jordan Love going into the season as we felt he was a great quarterback option to go for in drafts.  Unfortunately, his injury in week one against the Eagles in  Brazil slowed down that thought for at least a few weeks. Now fully healthy, he showcases why we were excited about him.  Love doesn’t truly have a WR1, so he has the freedom to throw the ball anywhere he can to get down the field, and he does it with perfection.  Keep starting him with confidence. 

3. Jared Goff

What he’s doing is simply unbelievable from a fantasy perspective. He has full command of this offense and finds his receivers in open spaces more times than not, even his offensive lineman, weirdly, as we saw on Sunday against the Cowboys. It’s hard to fully recommend him as a QB1, as we still need to see a couple more weeks of this before we can fully trust it. But a QB2 with upside and a perfect streaming option.  We, as fantasy managers, love hearing that. 

DUDS

1. Calvin Ridley

After Sunday’s game against the Colts, Calvin Ridley’s bizarre expletive rant got us thinking about the fantasy implications of this entire offense. Simply put, the Titans are one of the least interesting teams from a fantasy perspective we have seen in a while. No receiver can get open with any consistency, and Will Levis is playing the most uninspiring football a quarterback can play. This team is a recipe for fantasy disaster for the rest of the season, and they just aren’t fun to watch. Avoid the Titans offense at all costs, except the running back room. 

2. Mike Evans

The Buccaneers offense was on fire against the Saints on Sunday, except for Mike Evans, who finished with 5.4 PPR fantasy points. This is not really a cause for concern, as Mike Evans is still an incredibly important part of this offense, but there will be weeks where Chris Godwin overshines him, and this was just one of those weeks. The most common scenario for this offense is that Godwin and  Evans both perform at a very consistent fantasy level, which makes both of them startable week to week.
