We are halfway through the fantasy football season. Many teams are dealing with injuries and bye weeks. I know I have some desperate teams, and here is my list of players who could do well this week.
QB Tyrod Taylor, Jets
I think there is a strong chance Taylor starts this week, and I think he can put up solid numbers vs. the worst defense in football.
RB Devin Neal, Saints
I don’t think Neal has a good matchup this week, but I am picking him up to stash for later. He should get his chances with RB Kendre Miller out for the season.
TE Colston Loveland, Bears
Loveland had three catches on 4 targets last week. He is talented, and it’s time to unleash him. He could be more involved in what could be a high-scoring game in Baltimore.
QB Cam Ward, Titans
Ward threw for 255 yards and a touchdown last week and should at least match that this week. The Colts allow a ton of yards to the QB, and Ward is worth a shot if desperate, which I am in a few leagues.
TE Cade Otton, Buccaneers
Tampa is hurting at receiver, and Mike Evans is now out for the season. Look for a bump in production and maybe be a serviceable flyer at tight end.
D Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Tampa didn’t play well against Detroit, but the Saints do not have that type of firepower. Watch for the Buccaneers to put a ton of pressure on quarterback Spencer Rattler and create several turnovers.
