Last week was the week of the mid-tier wide receivers as we saw the likes of Stefon Diggs, Michael Thomas, Mike Wallace and Terrelle Pryor all producing a 2x+ return for us. This week however, is about the premium players at RB and WR as value is very hard to find at both of those positions.

The question of the week is whether to fade David Johnson and if so how much? The answer? Do not fade David Johnson. If you are a multiple lineup player (5+) in GPP’s then its ok to fade him in a few of your lineups. Be sure to pay attention to our Ownership Forecaster which comes out on Friday and is updated on Sunday morning. If David Johnson is over 60% owned in GPP’s then he can be faded. If he is in the 40% range though I don’t think that it is advisable to build a lineup without him. Just take the free space and live to fight another day.

As I mention, finding value at the RB and WR positions is next to impossible. Sure, players like Darren Sproles and Rob Kelley are due for an increase in touches this week but you have to really evaluate what they will do with those touches. Unless the Redskins get a bunch of endzone pass interference penalties I just can’t see Kelley racking up 4-5x against the Vikings.

At the WR spot you have players like Tavon Austin, Dontrelle Inman and Sammie Coates who are cheap and can post a big number this week. Unfortunately, each of them also could get shut out completely which would be devastating in cash games.

So, it is likely going to come down to using value at the QB, TE, DST & K (FanDuel) spots this week. This will require some deeper analysis for those positions in order to solve for which players indeed have the highest floors at those positions this week.
