Heat Check of the Week
Jessie Bates III, Atlanta Falcons
Jessie Bates is currently 20 percent owned and has been one of the more solid defensive backs over the past few years. Coming off a 10-tackle game, Bates should be able to replicate that against the Dolphins, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a turnover as well. That means you should head to the waiver wire and pick up Bates now so that you can bring the pain to your competition.
Pick up of the week
Shemar James, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys’ defense is starting to get healthy again, which means Shemar James would be a great pick-up for your fantasy teams this week. Coming off a nine-tackle and one-sack game, James has been an anchor for the Cowboys, and this isn’t stopping anytime soon. At 10 percent owned, you should be able to get James without using any of your FAAB, giving you a free player that will perform for your team.
