Hunt’s release
by the Chiefs after video surfaced of him in a scuffle with a woman at a
Cleveland hotel prompted many fantasy players to flock toward Spencer Ware. And
on Monday night
Drue Tranquill Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , an injury to Conner led to Pittsburgh turning to Jaylen Samuels, who caught a late touchdown pass against
the Chargers.Fantasy players who hedged on Conner got immediate relief if they
rostered Samuels ahead of time as a handcuff. If not, let the anxiety begin
about whether you’ll have enough free agent acquisition dollars or waiver
positioning to grab him from free agency.Samuels is owned in only 3.4 percent of
leagues, so not enough owners have been adequately prepared. The stampede for
his services will come with a twist — on some fantasy platforms, Samuels
actually qualifies as a tight end, a position he played at North Carolina State.
That makes him even more sought after since he can be plugged into an incredibly
thin TE position, a rare sight in fantasy.It also harkens back to the
unforgettable days when Saints wideout Marques Colston had TE eligibility on
some sites early in his career, giving owners another unique advantage.Mike
Tomlin has said that he will employ a committee at RB in Week 14
Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys 2019 , but Samuels will surely lead the crew and should at least be viewed as a RB2 for fantasy purposes. Meanwhile, Ezekiel
Elliott owners need to grab Rod Smith and the Saquon Barkley owners must add
Wayne Gallman. Injuries and other unforeseen events could push guys like Smith
and Gallman into more prominent roles, as we have already seen with Ware and
Samuels. The backups to Elliott and Barkley are much less talented, but could
have an opportunity to produce at least decent totals if needed in plug-in
roles.In the Fantasy playoffs, you also want to play a little defense on the
waiver wire, blocking your opponents from gaining the players they need. If you
see that the team you are facing this week has Conner and not Samuels, you need
to either outbid him for Samuels or make him your top waiver priority to prevent
the other team from gaining his services.MORE ADDS FOR WEEK 14Jeff Wilson Jr.
(0.4 percent owned) will likely start at RB for the 49ers this week as Matt
Breida has already been ruled out with an ankle injury. Wilson caught eight
passes for 73 yards at Seattle last week and rushed for 61 yards. He could be in
line for more quality volume against Denver. He’ll be worth flex
consideration.There is a good chance that Melvin Gordon returns from a knee
injury this week, but just in case
Drue Tranquill Jersey Color Rush , Justin Jackson (12.2) looked better than Austin Ekeler in Week 13, rushing for 63 yards on only eight carries.
Jackson may usurp Ekeler as the best handcuff to Gordon.Bills QB Josh Allen
(3.7) has rushed for 234 yards and a TD in his past two games. Savvy fantasy
players well know that any QB with that sort of rushing upside deserves
immediate starting consideration. As crazy as it would have sounded in the
preseason, Allen now needs to be in starting conversations possibly over
disappointments such as Tom Brady.Dante Pettis (2.2) has 206 yards and three TDs
in his past two games, and has emerged as the top playmaker in the 49ers
depleted passing game. He has big-play ability and also demonstrated he can
score.In point-per-reception leagues, Curtis Samuel has three consecutive double
figure outings, yet he remains only 12.5 percent owned. He has two TDs in his
last three games. He’ll challenge defenses with his speed and has shown red zone
promise. Running back Melvin Gordon is heading into the fifth year of his rookie
deal with the Chargers, so he won’t be hitting the free agent market this
offseason.He will be paying close attention to developments on that front.
Gordon has talked about his desire to stay with the Chargers beyond the end of
his current contract, but he said on Wednesday that he’s watching to see what
kind of deal Le'Veon Bell signs this offseason before moving forward with any
deal of his own.“I’m waiting. I’m sitting back waiting
Mens Drue Tranquill Jersey , waiting on Bell,” Gordon told NFL Media, via the . “I’m glad it’s changing because we [running backs] were getting devalued for a
little bit. But me, David Johnson, Todd Gurley, I can go down a whole list,
Bell, you name it
Cheap Drue Tranquill Jersey , ‘Zeke,’ just game-changers, Alvin Kamara, all those guys.”Johnson and Gurley didn’t wait for Bell to sign a long-term deal
before signing extensions with their teams. If Bell doesn’t get significantly
more than those two players, the tides may not rise for the other backs as much
as Gordon seems to hope they will.
