Bye weeks : none.
1. Isiah Likely, BAL, TE, (5%)- This might be a knee jerk reaction to Mark Andrews going down, but I watched alot of Likely at Coastal Carolina. He is a worthy start at the tight end position if you had Mark Andrews, or need a stream tight end start. Odell Beckham is also dealing with a nagging injury, and is currently questionable. Likely might dip into his target share as well. The chargers give up a lot of points to the tight end too.
2. Josh Downs, IND, WR, (50%)- It was reported that Josh has had a knee injury since camp. Despite the injury he has been very good and a servicable player. His next 3 weeks are favorable to the WR position, and Gardner Minshew, his QB, has shown the ability to prop up multiple fantasy WRs. The Colts are also still in playoff contention and will be playing meaningful football.
3. Cincinnati Defense / Special Teams, (29%)- Point blank period, the Pittsburgh offense sucks, and Cincinnati plays them this week. The Steelers fired their OC, so this might be a revenge game for the Pittsburgh offense, but I think I could call plays for that team and Pickett might still miss half his passes.
4. Gardner Minshew, IND, QB, (13%)- Writing this article weekly and confining myself to under 50%, we are going to have some picks that are bottom of the barrel. The mustache warrior himself, Garder has had some mediocre games as of late, albeit he's won them both, but those 2 defenses were top 25 in the NFL. His current matchup, Tampa Bay, is 3rd worse against the QB position. They also just received some pretty bad injuries to pretty core members to their defense. Their have been quite a few QB injuries in the NFL this week, so you might need one.
5. Jayden Reed, GB, WR, (36%)- To be honest this would probably be Romeo Doubs, but he's at 55% right now. Jayden had a bit of a coming out party this past Sunday, and picked up a chest injury. It's rumored to be mild, but the Packers play the lions on a quick turnaround game Thanksgiving day. In the event Reed plays, and your WR/Flex depth is limited, Reed might be worth a play. The Lions are going to put a lot of points on the board, and if Green Bay wants to stay in the game they will need to throw. Jones is also injured, and The Packers used alot of exotic looks and end arounds get Reed involved. You want fantasy players where offensive coordinators are continually drawing up plays just to get the ball in their hands.
