This is your warning. Do not get cute with your fantasy lineup this week. These guys have to be starting. And let’s start with the most frustrating player of the bunch, Devonte Smith. A match up with the Rams is exactly what the doctor ordered. He was the Eagles best receiver against zone coverage last season, and he’s going to see plenty of it. Not to mention, LA has allowed the second most receptions to the slot, where Smith has been running the majority of his routes. Next, there aren’t a lot of guys I’d play over Jordan Mason against the Bengals. He was already the Vikings go-to rusher, but with Aaron Jones on IR, he should double his routes in the pass game. And a match up with Cincinnati will position their offensive line to dominate. Finally, Zay Flowers will be a top 12 wide receiver against Detroit. The Lions play the league’s highest rate of man coverage. Through the first two weeks when Lamar Jackson has seen man, he’s targeted Flowers 40% of the time with the receiver averaging 20 yards per reception. [Applause]
