9) Jonathan Taylor vs. Seahawks
Well, things went from great to awful pretty quickly in Indianapolis, didn’t they? Just a few weeks ago, JT owners were doing victory laps as their second-round pick was leading the league in yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points. Now, just three weeks later, he is coming off of his third straight game with less than 15 fantasy points, and now the Colts might be forced to start a quarterback who’s been retired for five years. Add to that the fact that this week they play a Seattle team that is ranked #4 in the league against the run, and they have to do it on the road in one of the toughest places in the league to play. If you have JT, you have to roll him out there, but it’s going to be a tough day. The entire offense is going to have to run through him, so the volume will be there. I just doubt that he will be able to put up anywhere close to the 20+ points we have come to count on from him in any given week.
10) Chase Brown vs. Ravens
With Higgins out, Brown becomes the Bengals’ #2 receiver. That’s how it played out two weeks ago when these two teams met, and I expect much of the same this weekend. Brown is also coming off a two-touchdown game against Buffalo, so let’s hope he can combine the yards and catches from two weeks ago with the scoring of last week to give us a real bonanza of a day. He has been a steady force for both the Bengals and his fantasy managers over the last seven games, ranking inside the top 20 in every week since week 7. If you are in a shallower league, I would play him over other options like Ashton Jeanty, Omarian Hampton, and even Josh Jacobs.
