OwnersBox Quarterbacks

One-Week Drafts:

Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) vs. DAL

In one of the most exciting early-season developments, the Seahawks are actually letting Russell Wilson throw the ball. The Seahawks have thrown 67 passes compared to calling 51 run plays after being much closer to an even split in 2019. This Seahawks/Cowboys game has shootout written all over it as neither team's defense has shown the ability to slow anyone down through the first two games of the season. Wilson is a top-two quarterback this weekend.

Also consider: Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) @ NO

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) @SEA, vs. CLE, vs. NYG, vs. ARI

As mentioned above, the Seattle/Dallas game is going to be a high-scoring affair. Vegas has the over/under set at a tasty 57.5 points. Prescott was dominant in Week 2 and he draws several plus matchups over the next four weeks. Cleveland in Week 4 is a fantastic matchup for passing attacks. The Browns pass defense ranks 30th in Football Outsiders' DVOA through two weeks. A showdown with the Giants in Week 5 also favors the Cowboys as New York is looking like one of the worst teams in the league. Week 6 vs. the Cardinals also has the making of a potential shootout with Kyler Murray taking a big step forward in his second year and showing instant chemistry with star wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

Also consider: Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) vs. KC, @WAS, vs. CIN, @PHI

OwnersBox Running Backs

One-Week Drafts:

Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) vs. GB 

Kamara stood out in a Week 2 loss to the Raiders. The star running back stands alone as the Saints' top threat in the passing game while Michael Thomas is sidelined by a high-ankle sprain. Kamara has found the end zone four times through two games. This should be a sneaky shootout with the Green Bay offense looking revitalized and the game being played in New Orleans, historically a haven for fantasy production.

Also consider: Jonathan Taylor (Indianapolis Colts) vs. NYJ

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) - @ SEA, vs. CLE, vs. NYG, vs. ARI

With the loss of Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey, Elliott is one of the few elite running backs out there. He draws an excellent slate of opponents over the next four weeks. He will face a solid Seattle run defense in a game that should be a shootout in Week 3. While Seattle has been good against the run thus far, I still like Elliott to find the end zone at least once. His opponent in Week 4, the Browns, showed flashes of being a competent run defense against the Bengals in Week 2 but the Dallas offensive line is significantly better than Cincy's. A Week 5 matchup against the Giants is a positive for Zeke as New York gave up 119 rushing yards to a backup running back in Benny Snell Jr. in Week 1 and 127 all-purpose yards and a score to another average talent in David Montgomery in Week 2. The Cowboys could easily build a big lead in this one and then use Elliott to take the air out of the ball in the second half. The Cowboys/Cardinals game in Week 5 should be high scoring and Arizona ranks just 19th in run defense DVOA through two games.

Also consider: Dalvin Cook (Minnesota Vikings) - vs. TEN, @HOU, @SEA, vs. ATL

OwnersBox Wide Receivers

One-Week Drafts:

Amari Cooper (Dallas Cowboys) @SEA

As you can see, we are really looking to load up on this Seattle/Dallas game in one-week contests. Cooper technically has more competition for targets with CeeDee Lamb in town but the loss of Blake Jarwin two weeks ago should ensure that Cooper sees a healthy target share. I am not expecting Dalton Schultz to remain a major part of the team's passing attack most weeks. Seattle's pass defense has been weak, ranking just 29th in DVOA and serving up big receiving games to Julian Edelman (eight catches/179 yards), Julio Jones (9/157/0), Calvin Ridley (9/130/2), and Russell Gage (9/114/0).

Also consider: D.K. Metcalf (Seattle Seahawks) vs. DAL

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

DeAndre Hopkins (Arizona Cardinals) vs. DET, @CAR, @NYJ, @DAL

So much for Hopkins not having a full offseason to establish a connection with Kyler Murray. The star wideout has hit the ground running in his first two games with the Cardinals, racking up 22 catches for 219 yards and a score. Hopkins goes against some weak pass defenses over the next three weeks. The Lions, Panthers, and Jets all rank 22nd or lower in pass defense DVOA according to Football Outsiders. Hopkins' Week 6 matchup against the Cowboys has the potential to be a shootout as Dallas has a high-scoring offense but hasn't shown the ability to stop anyone on defense.

Also consider: Diontae Johnson (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs.HOU, @TEN, vs. PHI, vs. CLE

OwnersBox Tight Ends

One-Week Drafts:

Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) vs. KC

Andrews disappointed in Week 2 but the Ravens had the game well in hand and didn't need to pass. An explosive KC offense this weekend should ensure that Baltimore has to pass more frequently in Week 3. Andrews remains the top target in the Baltimore passing attack and the Chiefs are not a very strong defense against tight ends.

Also consider: Zach Ertz (Philadelphia Eagles) vs. CIN

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) @BAL, vs. NE, vs. LV, @BUF

I prefer Andrews in long-term contests on OwnersBox but if you can't get him, Kelce is also worth grabbing. His slate of opponents has some tough matchups but the dominance of the Chiefs passing game is able to overcome that. Kelce has two touchdowns through two games and should easily pay off his cost in drafts.

Also consider: Tyler Higbee (Los Angeles Rams) @BUF, vs. NYG, @WAS, @SF
