OwnersBox Quarterbacks

One-Week Drafts:

Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) vs. MIN

Wilson's fantastic early-season schedule continues with a Week 5 home matchup against a very beatable Minnesota pass defense. The Vikings rank ninth in pass defense DVOA but have allowed the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. That number is strengthened by the fact that they have done a decent job limiting touchdown passes from the opposition but have allowed three of their four opponents to rack up at least 300 passing yards. Wilson is a top-notch play this week.

Also consider: Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens) vs. CIN

 

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) vs. NYG, vs. ARI, @WAS, @PHI

A poor Dallas defense coupled with an elite group of pass-catchers has Prescott in the early running to finish as the overall QB1 in 2020. His upcoming schedule is soft and there is plenty of potential for shootouts along the way. The Giants rank just 24th in pass defense DVOA according to Football Outsiders. The only concern is Dallas building a big lead but their weak defense may allow the Giants to keep up on the scoreboard, which is what we want.

A Week 6 matchup against Arizona is a likely shootout spot while Washington is allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to QBs. Dak finishes up this stretch with a road game against the Eagles. Philly represents another quality matchup in what should be another high-scoring affair. The Eagles pass defense is only allowing the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game but that has been aided by poor fantasy outputs in a Week 1 matchup against the since-benched Dwayne Haskins Jr. and the Nick Mullens/C.J. Beathard combo last week. Their Weeks 2 and 3 opponents, Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, combined to throw for 579 yards and five touchdowns.

Also consider: Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs. PHI, vs. CLE, @TEN, @BAL

 

OwnersBox Running Backs

One-Week Drafts:

Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) vs. LAC 

Kamara had a quiet day (by his standards) in Week 4 but still managed to finish with 83 rushing yards and a score. Calling that output a "quiet day" just goes to show how dominant he is. The Saints expect to get Michael Thomas back from a high-ankle sprain this week but there's a good chance he could be limited or deployed in a decoy role. I want to wait and see him play for a week before getting concerned that he is fully back and ready to cut into Kamara's share in the passing game. The Chargers have an average defense against the run, ranking 13th in DVOA.

Also consider: Chris Carson (Seattle Seahawks) vs. MIN

 

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. LV, @BUF, @DEN, vs. NYJ

Edwards-Helaire hasn't really had a big breakout performance, mostly thanks to him scoring just one touchdown despite seeing 85 total touches through four games. Look for him to find the end zone again in a plus matchup against a Raiders run defense that is just 30th in DVOA through four games. CEH will take on the Bills on the road in Week 6 in what should be a high-scoring game. Buffalo's defense has not been very good against the run the past few seasons and ranks just 20th in run defense DVOA through four games.

Week 7 brings a home game against the division-rival Broncos. Denver has been solid against the run this year but that doesn't cause much concern against an explosive Kansas City offense. The Jets in Week 8 is a smash spot for CEH. Expect the Chiefs to build a big lead over New York and run heavily in the second half of the contest.

Also consider: Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) vs. NYG, vs. ARI, @WAS, @PHI

 

OwnersBox Wide Receivers

One-Week Drafts:

Adam Thielen (Minnesota Vikings) @SEA

Thielen draws a dream matchup against a Seattle secondary that hasn't been able to stop anybody this season. The Seahawks are allowing the most fantasy points per game to WRs and, even better, have an explosive offense that will force the Vikings to pass frequently in what will be a shootout.

Look for some more slick moves like these from Thielen this weekend.

Adam Thielen

Also consider: DeAndre Hopkins (Arizona Cardinals) @NYJ

 

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Keenan Allen (Los Angeles Chargers) @NO, vs. NYJ, @MIA, vs. JAX

Allen has enjoyed playing with rookie signal-caller Justin Herbert. While I may back off on Allen if Tyrod Taylor is reinstalled as the starter, we will proceed as though Herbert is the team's starting quarterback over the next four games. Allen will take on a Saints secondary in Week 5 that has allowed a WR touchdown in each of the past four games. The Jets are tough against the run and weak vs. the pass, which will funnel extra work Allen's way in Week 6. Allen should have little trouble getting open against the Dolphins in the following week as Miami is allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. Jacksonville's pass defense ranks dead last in DVOA.

Also consider: Tyreek Hill (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. LV, @BUF, @DEN, vs. NYJ

 

OwnersBox Tight Ends

One-Week Drafts:

George Kittle (San Francisco 49ers) vs. MIA

Kittle announced he was back from an early-season knee injury in style in Week 4, ripping the Eagles for 15 catches, 183 yards, and a touchdown. He draws a cake matchup against the Dolphins in Week 5. Miami isn't giving up very many points to tight ends this season but they haven't exactly faced many big names at the position. Kittle should continue to stand out as the 49ers' preferred option in the passing attack this week.

Also consider: Darren Waller (Las Vegas Raiders) @KC

 

Two-to-Four-Week Drafts:

Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. LV, @BUF, @DEN, vs. NYJ

The Raiders have been tough on tight ends this season but Kelce has traditionally fared well against them, catching four touchdowns in their previous six meetings. Buffalo has been generous to the position, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game, including Mike Gesicki's huge eight-catch, 130-yard, one-touchdown outing in Week 2. The Broncos in Week 7 are allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to TEs while the Jets have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends over their past three games.

Also consider: Jonnu Smith (Tennessee Titans) vs. BUF, vs. HOU, vs. PIT, @CIN
