WIDE RECEIVER

Jarvis Landry ($6500) Dolphins @ Patriots – If you don’t play fantasy football there is almost no chance that you knew Jarvis Landry caught 110 passes last season and was 6th in the NFL in targets. In Week 1, Landry had to face one of the tough secondaries in football and still caught 7 balls for a quiet 59 yards. He comes into this week priced at only $6500, a true bargain price for a guy that is a near lock to catch 7 or 8 passes nearly every single week. The Patriots will likely beat up on Miami early and get out to a nice lead. Garbage time stats count no different in fantasy so I really like Landry to pile up easy yards and points Sunday.

Tajae Sharpe ($6000) Titans @ Lions – Sharpe made his NFL debut in Week 1 and immediately looked like a favorite receiver for Marcus Mariota. He hauled in 7 passes for 76 yards but more importantly was targeted 11 times. With a price of only $6000 in a game that likely could be high scoring, I think Sharpe is one of the best value plays on the board this weekend. There is some talk of Darius Slay shadowing Sharpe this week, but that is hard to predict and likely will change if the Lions jump out to a big early lead. For his price tag, you aren’t expecting a huge game as it is but Sharpe is likely to be heavily involved regardless.

Odell Beckham ($9400) Saints @ Giants – Much has already been discussed about the Saints/Giants game from last season. Beckham caught 3 of the 6 TD’s that Manning threw that day. Coming off a quiet week 1 where he only caught 4 balls for 73 yards, some owners are likely going to be hesitant to go back to him even in what is close to a perfect match up. On FanDuel, he is priced above both Antonio Brown and Julio Jones who both had better week 1’s. I feel like this leads to Beckham being just sightly under owned in a game that he likely should be over owned making him a great tournament selection. Any time there is doubt about a player in a perfect match up, fire them up, don’t be the one stuck overthinking it.

Others I Like – Doug Baldwin ($7000), Allen Robinson ($8200), Golden Tate ($6700)
