RUNNING BACK ADDS
(7%) Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears
Monangai had about double his usual amount of carries this past week, rushing 13 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and catching 2 of his 3 targets for 13 yards. He looked very good in this one and is worth adding in case he continues to be used more in this offense, and especially in the event D’Andre Swift has to miss any time due to injury.
(6%) Brashard Smith, Kansas City Chiefs
Smith saw a huge uptick in both carries and targets in Week 7, though unfortunately, it was due to the Chiefs resting their starters. He carried the ball 14 times for 39 yards and caught all 5 of his targets for 42 yards. It looks like Isaiah Pacheco is the guy to own in this backfield, but you could do worse than stashing Smith.
TIGHT END ADDS
(20%) Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans
Schultz had his biggest game of the season, catching 9 of his 10 targets for nearly 100 yards. This had to do with Nico Collins sustaining a concussion, but with the offense struggling as much as it has been, Schultz could be utilized more to help get things going even when Collins is back to full health.
(18%) Theo Johnson, New York Giants
Johnson caught 3 of his 7 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. This whole offense is looking up with Jaxon Dart now throwing the football, and Johnson is one of the biggest beneficiaries.
(5%) Oronde Gadsden, Los Angeles Chargers
This was a big breakout performance for the rookie tight end, as he caught 7 of 9 passes for an insane 164 yards and a touchdown. He has established himself clearly as the team’s TE1 and needs to be picked up everywhere.
