WTF?
This week’s strategy seems like it’ll come down to whose hamstring holds up, whose doesn’t, and which players get a boost in volume because their teammates didn’t do enough TheraBand stretches.
It’s starting to feel like an epidemic. The best advice I can give is right here in this free tweet.
These are contrarian moves I will be mixing into my rosters to differentiate from the masses. Many will miss, but if they hit, we’ll lap the field.
Secondary Core-Relations
We’re always hunting for those high-ceiling combinations to add to our existing game stacks. It’s better to aim at getting four things right instead of trying to hit a nine-way parlay. I’ll lean on a handful of core secondary stacks that will be finessed into lineups whenever feasible.
Rashid Shaheed/Kyle Pitts
Rashid isn’t as boom-or-bust as he used to be, but he’s also pricier now. His zero last week appears to be suppressing ownership. This is an obvious pounce spot.
This is the week! The stars are aligning, and Kyle Pitts is gonna crush at 1.3% ownership. The Saints spent 60 minutes last week trying to locate Dallas Goedert and were woefully unsuccessful. If this isn’t Pitts’ week… I swear, I’ll quit him. I’ll even join Pitts Anonymous if I have to.
Both players offer great leverage against their more popular teammates. If the touchdown variance swings their way, we’ll be printing.
Saquon Barkley/Mike Evans
The Buccaneers are giving up the 3rd most points to the running back position and rank 2nd worst in tackling per PFF. The Eagles have the 5th ranked offensive line. #math
Evans is due for a ceiling game and Baker Mayfield may need to hit on some chunk plays if the Bucs aim to keep pace.
This one’s a little pricey, but the ceiling is monstrous. At 8% and 2% projected ownership, I’ll be jamming these two into my stacks that feature the sub-6K quarterbacks.
Other Secondary Stacks I Like:
Jayden Reed (7.3% pOWN) and Justin Jefferson (3.4% pOWN)
Brian Thomas Jr (2.8% pOWN) and Dalton Schultz (3.7% pOWN)
Offset RB Chalk with Contrarian Correlation
Hard to avoid rostering mispriced running backs in a salary cap contest. Let’s play these guys in a different way than the field, but one that still tells a plausible story.
Kyren Williams has one of the best roles in the NFL, but 20% of the field will be clicking him. The good news? You can offset that chalk with literally any member of the Chicago Bears. Rome Odunze (1.6% pOWN) got the spotlight here last week and made me look borderline intelligent. DJ Moore (3.6% pOWN) should see his 10 targets with plenty of chances for big YAC against a Rams defense that ranks 28th in pass coverage, according to PFF.
