Here is a stat for you: Cordarelle Patterson is currently the RB3 and WR8 on fantasy sites with both a WR/RB designation. A wild start to fantasy football for 2021.
We are at the quarter mark; or what used to be the quarter mark of the fantasy football season. If you haven’t checked out GameDay Edge yet, you are missing crucial information; especially playing DFS or survivor-type tournaments. This week I will add to the article. Instead of just giving pertinent stats, I will give observations on each game based on the stats provided.
Throw all of Buffalo’s defensive stats out the window. They have not played another team remotely close to the Kansas City Chiefs. For Buffalo, stopping Patrick Mahomes comes to their defensive line performing against a solid offensive line, which is likely not to happen (evident by the WFT line doing a decent job against Buffalo).
Expect this game to be an offensive explosion, as both teams average 33.1 points a game. The Bills coverage concepts allow for success on intermediate routes, which plays into Kansas City’s strength.
Expect a big game from Travis Kelce similar to the Baltimore Ravens game. If Tyreek Hill is able to break tackles, Josh Allen will have to sling it.
It is evident that running comes easy against the Chiefs defense. Kansas City allows the thirds highest explosive run play percentage. Look for Devin Singletary and Zack Moss to be involved heavily. Moss has been a surprise in the last three weeks. I anticipate Moss or Singletary will have a really good day as a rusher and as a receiver.
It is clear that winning against Seattle requires two things. The offense must run through the running back position; and the defense needs to stop explosive plays, especially to the center of the field. The first was clearly evident in the second half of the Titans-Seahawks game. If Sean McVay utilizes Darrell Henderson similarly, Henderson is in a smash spot for fantasy football.
On defense, game plans and schemes can only go so far when Russell Wilson is cooking. Wilson makes the most difficult throws look easy.
The Rams have a better defense and can rely on Henderson to carry them. I could see the Rams run out to an early lead, while Russell works some of his magic to make the game close in the end with a chance to win it.
Dallas cornerbacks not named Trevon Diggs are struggling to cover any receiver. New York Giants line their receivers all over the formation. Trying to figure out which Giants WR will explode for fantasy football could be a headache. Keep a tab on Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton’s availability. If neither are playing, Kenny Golladay or Kadarius Toney (sleeper as he operates from the slot) could have a smash game.
Daniel Jones will have to be a gunslinger in this game to keep up with Dak and the Cowboy’s offense and is a sneaky play in DFS or Lineup Showdown.
For Dallas, look for Dalton Schultz to continue his early-season form and exploit the Giants linebackers. Obviously there is a slight risk with Blake Jarwin stealing the show.
