\"Fantasy<\/a>Alright, no foreplay today. \u00a0Let\u2019s get right to the action.<\/p>\n

Cole Beasley, WR Cowboys (13% owned in Yahoo! leagues)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Git-r-done!\"<\/a>

FREEBIRD!!!<\/p><\/div>\n

White slot receivers are en vogue this week, as the best one of all time was just signed by the Rams.\u00a0 But you\u2019re league probably doesn\u2019t get points for concussions, so you should stay very far away from Wes Welker.\u00a0 However, Cole Beasley is turning into a Welker clone, minus the brain injuries (for now).\u00a0 Cole exploded last week, hauling in 9 passes for 112 yards and 2 scores.<\/p>\n

Sure, he looks like a roadie for Lynyrd Skynyrd, but Cole can provide you with some value this week and down the stretch.\u00a0 With Dez back, he commands a constant double team, which opens up the slot.\u00a0 And, with Tony Romo coming back soon, his value will continue to increase.\u00a0 The Cowboys have a great matchup against Tampa Bay this week.<\/p>\n

Theo Riddick, RB Detroit (21%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PPR<\/a>

PPR stud.<\/p><\/div>\n

In a PPR league, Theo\u2019s a no brainer.\u00a0 He ranks #3 in receptions by a running back (and with Devonta Freeman and Danny Woodhead both on byes this week, he\u2019ll be #1 again after tomorrow).\u00a0 He\u2019s averaging over 5 catches per game.\u00a0 We like him to be above that tomorrow.\u00a0 Also, his rushing attempts are on the rise, meaning Theo is being used more on 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> downs.<\/p>\n

Kirk Cousins, QB Washington (26%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Operation:<\/a>

Operation: Start every QB that plays the Saints.<\/p><\/div>\n

Why do we like Kirk Cousins this week?\u00a0 It\u2019s simple.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the matchup.\u00a0 The Redskins play the Saints this week.\u00a0 Here are the stats of the last two QBs to play the Saints:<\/p>\n

Marcus Mariota \u2013 371 yards, 4 tds, 0 ints.<\/p>\n

Eli Manning \u2013 350 yards, 6 tds, 0 ints.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s really all you need to know.\u00a0 Given the matchup, we think Kirk is a Top 10 QB this week.\u00a0 That\u2019s right.\u00a0 Don\u2019t say we didn\u2019t tell you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
