The Fantasy Stock Exchange By Gary Davenport
FANTASY STOCK EXCHANGE: Week 13
Well folks, this is it. We’ve already hit the first week of December. Thanksgiving is in the rearview mirror, and
with it most of the regular season in fantasy football.
In fact, while Week 13 is the final week of the regular season in many fantasy leagues, for more than a few
fantasy teams the playoffs have effectively begun. The next game they lose will be the last game they lose –
the season will be over.
Every lineup decision – every fantasy point – is critical. This is the time of year when a decision on which kicker
to start can mean the difference between moving on and having of plenty of extra time to start Christmas
shopping.
Before you ask, no I will not be offering kicker recommendations. I still have my dignity. OK, part of my dignity.
A few tattered shreds. But they are my shreds, and I like them.
I will, however, offer this piece of advice. By this point in the season, you know your team. You know your
opponent. And I’d wager you have a pretty good idea whether you enter a must-win Week 13 matchup the
favorite or the underdog.
If you’re in the latter boat, then don’t be shy. If you’re in a go for broke situation, then go for broke is exactly
what you should do. I’m not saying you should start Taylor Gabriel over Allen Robinson at wide receiver…
But if you think you need every point you can get to have any chance at victory, I also wouldn’t call you crazy if
you did. The only people who will have to live with your lineup decisions is you.
Now let’s get down to locking up some playoff spots.
QUARTERBACKS
STOCK UP: Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers: Say whatever you want about the sorry state of the 49ers
after a franchise record 10th straight loss, but the team’s woes don’t change this fact – over the past four
weeks Kaepernick is the highest-scoring player at his position in all of fantasy football. And this week he faces
the similarly reeling Chicago Bears.
STOCK DOWN: Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions: You aren’t going to hear any complaints from the first-place
Lions about Stafford’s play. But since Week 7 Stafford has barely ranked inside the top 25 fantasy
quarterbacks. Detroit’s dink-and-dunk offense is winning them football games, but it isn’t going to get you into
the fantasy playoffs.
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 3 www.FantasySharks.com
STOCK UP: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys: Rolling out Prescott in a Thursday night game against a desperate
Vikings defense is not a play for the faint of heart. But the rookie has answered the bell every single time this
season, and unlike most Thursday night affairs both Dallas and Minnesota will have had a full week to get
ready for this one.
STOCK DOWN: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: Just when it appeared Wilson was back on track along came
a no-TD, two-interception clunker against the Buccaneers that likely killed the playoff dreams of some fantasy
squads. It wasn’t an isolated fluke either – the Seahawks have now failed to find the end zone three times in
2016.
RUNNING BACKS
STOCK UP: Tim Hightower, New Orleans Saints: When the season began, I’d wager not many fantasy owners
figured to be rolling out Hightower for a crucial game. Those lucky enough to have plucked him off the waiver
wire should just be grateful and stop overthinking – last week’s win over the Rams was the third time in four
games Hightower has topped 100 total yards this season.
STOCK DOWN: Todd Gurley, Los Angeles Rams: I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking – starting Gurley
in Week 13 is begging for disaster. Not only has the second-year pro been one of fantasy’s biggest
disappointments in 2016, but this week the Rams face a New England Patriots team that specializes in taking
away their opponents’ best weapon.
STOCK UP: Doug Martin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Martin hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire since returning to
Tampa’s lineup. However, in each of the last two weeks Martin has carried the ball 20+ times, and this week
the Bucs face a San Diego Chargers squad allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs in
2016.
STOCK DOWN: Carlos Hyde, San Francisco 49ers: Hyde’s been solid for the 49ers when healthy this season,
and the Chicago Bears aren’t exactly a team that strikes fears into the hearts of opponents in 2016. They also
aren’t a team that’s given up many big games to tailbacks this season – only two teams have allowed fewer
fantasy points to the position.
WIDE RECEIVERS
STOCK UP: Anquan Boldin, Detroit Lions: There was plenty of discussion before the season as to whether
Marvin Jones or Golden Tate would be the wideout to own in Motown this year. Of late it’s been neither – but
Boldin has emerged as the main beneficiary of the Lions’ quick passing game. He’s a viable WR3 or flex option
in PPR scoring systems.
STOCK DOWN: Brandin Cooks, New Orleans Saints: To say that Cooks let fantasy owners down in Week 12 is
both an understatement and not entirely accurate. The goose-egg from the speedster in a game where the
Saints scored 49 was a killer, but it’s hard to blame Cooks given that he wasn’t so much as targeted in the
game. Not once.
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 4 www.FantasySharks.com
STOCK UP: Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs: With Jeremy Maclin on the shelf Hill has had a coming out party the
past few weeks, to the tune of 23 catches for 194 yards and a pair of touchdowns (including one on the
ground). He very much fits the bill as one of those aggressive upside plays I mentioned in the intro. Nothing
ventured, nothing gained.
STOCK DOWN: Allen Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars: Speaking of season-long funks and depressing letdowns,
that’s the working title of the Jaguars’ 2016 season lowlights video. Add in a matchup with an angry Denver
Broncos secondary this week, and Robinson’s a guy whose name will get you bounced this week. Names don’t
get you fantasy points – unless your scoring is weird.
TIGHT ENDS
STOCK UP: Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals are in free-fall, largely due to injuries that have torn
through the team’s offense. It appeared that Eifert was set to join the void last week with a zero in the first
half against the Ravens, but his 5/68/1 stat line in the second half shows just how much upside he has as the
last man standing in the Cincy passing game.
STOCK DOWN: Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots: After much hullabaloo about his injured chest last
week, Gronk played just long enough to injure his back against the New York Jets. Given that this isn’t the first
time this season something like this happened, if you fall for the fake in a must-win game you’ll have no one to
blame but yourself.
STOCK UP: Lance Kendricks, Los Angeles Rams: Now I’m not going to sit here and say I’d feel good about
starting Kendricks in a Week 13 game I have to win. But if you’re desperate it’s worth keeping in mind that
Week 12 marked the second time in four games Kendricks has posted at least 15 fantasy points in PPR scoring
systems.
STOCK DOWN: Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Ravens: Pitta’s the poster child for the sort of low-upside fantasy play
that can come back to bite you if you’ve gotta get a W to make the postseason in Week 13. The veteran hasn’t
posted double-digit fantasy points since all the way back in Week 5 – which was also the last time he had more
than 50 receiving yards in a game.

The Red Zone: Week 13
Thomas Casale
Passing
Russell Wilson, Seahawks – Wilson is a top fantasy quarterback despite only having nine red zone
touchdowns this year in 43 attempts. Think about it. Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers have more than
double the red zone touchdowns. Wilson is in the same neighborhood as Carson Wentz and Brock
Osweiler. He would be an even better fantast quarterback if his red zone production improves.
Carson Wentz, Eagles – Speaking of Wentz, he’s the least productive red zone quarterback in the
NFL. He’s attempted 58 red zone passes this year. That ranks tied for sixth in the NFL but Wentz has
only thrown nine touchdown passes. We’ve discussed Wentz’s struggles in the past. Part if is play
calling and part if it is the lack of weapons in the Eagles offense. Wilson and Wentz share a common
reason for why they’re red zone numbers are down: Neither utilizes their main weapon enough in the
red zone. We discuss that further below.
Rushing
Lamar Miller, Texans – Remember back in August when DeAndre Hopkins was getting drafted in
Round 1 and Miller was going in the second? The Texans offense is struggling just to get into the red
zone right now. Miller has 21 red zone carries but has scored just three times. The bad news is those
aren’t the kind of numbers Miller owners were looking for when they drafted him high. The good news
is compared to Hopkins’ red zone numbers, Miller looks like a fantasy stud.
Latavius Murray, Raiders – It’s a shame Murray hasn’t gotten a few more goal line carries this year
or he could be leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns. As it is, Murray’s eight red zone touchdowns
ranks tied for third in the NFL. That’s impressive when you consider his 23 attempts ranks far below
LeGarrette Blount, Melvin Gordon, David Johnson and Ezekiel Elliott. Murray is receiving 70 percent
of the Raiders red zone carries. The problem is Oakland throws near the goal more than most teams.
Murray is one of the best short yardage runners playing behind an elite offensive line. The Raiders just
opt to throw in the red zone a lot because they have David Carr. He’s not a bad option either.
Spencer Ware, Chiefs – We’re going to hammer Ware every week. It’s now four games in a row
without a touchdown. He’s averaging 17 touches a game and he’s only scored two touchdowns all
season. Both have come in the red zone on 20 carries. Ware and Charcandrick West basically split
snaps last week. Does anyone else really miss Jamaal Charles?
Receiving – WR
Chris Conley, Chiefs – Last Monday during the Broncos/Chiefs game the announcers said Kansas
City struggles in the red zone. One of the reasons for those struggles is that Conley has been targeted
12 times. He’s caught three passes with no touchdowns. His catch percentage of 25 is one of the lowest
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 6 www.FantasySharks.com
in the NFL. Last week we said it’s time for the Eagles to stop throwing the ball to Nelson Agholor and
he was inactive. It’s time for the Chiefs to stop throwing the ball to Conley. You’re welcome.
Terrelle Pryor, Browns – Pryor has been targeted in the red zone seven times and has scored four
touchdowns. Last week against the Giants the Browns had a first and goal and ran the ball up the
middle twice. On third down they threw a fade to Pryor that the entire world knew was coming.
Everyone is making excuses for Hue Jackson. If he doesn’t want to go 0-16, maybe he should be more
imaginative with his play calling and throw on first down.
DeAndre Hopkins, Texans – It’s hard to comprehend Hopkins’ overall numbers but his red zone
numbers are even more mind-boggling. Hopkins has been targeted just five times in the red zone with
one touchdown. He’s only seen 12.8 percent of the Texans red zone targets this year. Congratulations
Brock Osweiler, you’ve made one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL irrelevant.
Receiving – TE
Jimmy Graham, Seahawks – Above we stated that Wilson had just nine red zone touchdowns.
Graham continues to be under-utilized in the red zone. He’s only been targeted nine times in the red
zone but converted three of those into scores. Graham is one of the biggest red zone mismatches in the
league. He should lead the NFL in red zone targets every year. Instead he has fewer targets than Hunter
Henry, Jacob Tamme, Coby Fleener and Cameron Brate.
Zach Ertz, Eagles – Ertz missed a couple of games but his red zone numbers are still staggering given
the Eagles lack of receivers. He’s been targeted just three times with one touchdown. As mentioned
above, Wentz is the least effective quarterback in the NFL. He would benefit by using Ertz and the rest
of the Eagles more down near the goal line.

THE DAILY PLANET BY TODD COLBURN
The Daily Planet – Week 13
By Todd Colburn
Well I can’t say that Week 12 was a prolific cashing week for The Daily Planet, although there were a
few lineups that brought home a little bit of bacon. Hopefully you used Drew Brees early and often
and stayed away from Russell Wilson (I’m so over this offense!). Please tell me you went with
Jonathan Stewart and passed on Thomas Rawls (have I mentioned how OVER this offense I am?)!
I’m praying that you got some use out of Terrelle Pryor, but ignored my love for Larry Fitzgerald
(speaking of another dead offense). But be careful not to draw too many conclusions. What we
glimpsed in Week 12 is the reality that things are about to change on us. What we think we know
about the NFL in 2016 is getting ready to be frozen out. As December rolls in, it’s time to consider
how weather will affect offenses, and make sure we’re taking venue into account. Let’s have a look at
the matchups this week and see where we can earn a buck…
BYES in Week 13: Cleveland, Tennessee
VEGAS-SOURCING
Vegas-sourcing is the term I use for the strategy of using the knowledge of the wise guys to inform
your daily fantasy decisions. Each week you’ll want to build a base of information around the
matchups. Vegas bookmakers have an uncanny ability to project what teams are going to put up on the
scoreboard. The over/unders and the spread give you a free look at what the experts think each team is
going to produce. So instead of “crowdsourcing,” we present: “Vegas-sourcing.” You just extrapolate
the projected points scored by a team by looking at the Over/Unders and cross-referencing the spreads.
Keep in mind that the numbers all change throughout the week, so don’t get too worked up if the line
has moved based on what you see below. The takeaway is the same whether Vegas is projecting 28 or
29 points scored by a team at different points throughout the week.
High Scorers: New Orleans 29.75
Low Scorers: Houston 19.5
New England 28.75
Carolina 19
Pittsburgh 27.5
Miami 18.5
Atlanta 26.25
Jacksonville 18.25
Oakland 26.25
Los Angeles 15.75
Notable: Arizona 26.25
Kansas City 22.75
Tampa Bay 21.75
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 8 www.FantasySharks.com
I’m not sure Vegas has figured Miami out yet, as they drop out of the Top 5 and into the Bottom 5 this
week, though they do have a tough matchup against Baltimore. I think there is still another big game
lurking for Jay Ajayi, though he’s had a rough couple of weeks. There are really no surprises in the
Top 5 – each one of those teams seems capable of uncorking a 40-point outing at any time. Note
Carolina is now in the Bottom 5, despite putting up 32 points on Oakland last week. I’m not sure how
much fight they’ll have in them though, at 4-7 and more or less out of contention for the division.
Make note of Arizona and their 26.25 point projection. They have averaged just over 18 points a
game over the last 5 weeks, and though they are playing at home against a weary Washington team,
I’m not feeling an outburst of points here. They are another team that seems dead in the eyes. Lastly,
be wary of Tampa Bay this week against San Diego. Granted, Tampa has to travel a great distance to
get to San Diego; Vegas believes that Tampa will be among the lowest point totals this week. That
may not keep you from using Mike Evans, but like last week, it might make you second guess using
Jameis Winston.
WEEK 13 VALUE PLAYS
DEFENSE: Defense is where I usually like to steal some value. You can usually find some nice
inefficiencies in pricing on defense. I will often start my roster construction with defense, looking for
the best relative value, with an emphasis on low price. Some weeks, the matchup compels you to take
the high-priced options, but I like to spend my money elsewhere.
DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary
Baltimore $3000 New England $4600
San Diego $2900 Baltimore $4600
Miami $2600 San Diego $4500
Carolina $2600 Miami $4400
Washington $2400 San Francisco $4300
Keeping Vegas’ take on Miami’s point total (18.5) in mind, I really like Baltimore at home for a
decent value. In that same vein, San Diego is interesting at a lower price point, with a cross-country
visit from Tampa Bay on tap. Tampa has scored 14 and 19 in the past two weeks. I love New
England on FanDuel; a cross-country trip from LA seems like shooting fish in a barrel. If you’re
feeling especially bold, look at Washington on the road against Arizona. I’m not a true believer in
the Cardinals at this point, and Washington is a nice punt option on DraftKings.
QUARTERBACK: Normally I like to pay up for the best QB options, as they are such a big source
of points. This week is no exception, as some of the highest-priced players project to score big this
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 9 www.FantasySharks.com
weekend (I’m looking at you, Drew Brees). But if you want to go big at another position, here are
some values for you to consider:
DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary
Matt Ryan $6800 Matthew Stafford $8300
Aaron Rodgers $6700 Philip Rivers $8200
Derek Carr $6500 Andrew Luck $8100
Philip Rivers $6500 Derek Carr $8100
Tyrod Taylor $5700 Tyrod Taylor $7400
Matt Ryan is a great value this week on DraftKings, and Kansas City has allowed the 4th
most
fantasy points to QBs over the last five weeks. Don’t be frightened off by Derek Carr’s matchup;
Buffalo has a good(ish) defense, but they have allowed the 6th
most fantasy points to QBs over the last
five weeks, which is a trend not reflected in the season’s stats. Aaron Rodgers also has a nice salary
on DK. Over on FanDuel, there is an odd cluster of good QBs outside of the Top 5 salaries this week.
My favorite of that batch is Carr, as both Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford have tough road
matchups (yep, New Orleans is a tough matchup these days). I’m probably apt to stick with Carr,
though I might dip a toe in the Tyrod Taylor waters here and there, now that he has Sammy Watkins
back.
RUNNING BACK: Normally, I’m looking for value at RB and paying up for top WRs. These last
few weeks though, I have found it harder and harder to find value at RB. I’m starting to pay up for the
top RBs and then looking for value at WR. With so many roles in question, it’s hard to justify going
too deep into the bargain bin, but here are some guys outside of the top tier to consider:
DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary
Theo Riddick $5800 Matt Forte $6900
Lamar Miller $5600 Latavius Murray $6700
Carlos Hyde $5300 Carlos Hyde $6700
Devontae Booker $5100 Doug Martin $6500
Tevin Coleman $4300 Devontae Booker $6400
Once again, I’m more compelled by the backs that carry Top 10 salaries this week, but there is a
diamond or two in the rough here. I like Tevin Coleman an awful lot; in his return last week, he
found the endzone. I suspect that Kansas City will be effective against Devonta Freeman, and
Coleman should get some run as the change-of-pace guy. Lamar Miller draws the best matchup,
facing a Green Bay team that has allowed 8 TDs to RBs over the last five weeks. Devontae Booker
is both compelling from a usage, valuation AND matchup standpoint. Jacksonville is Top 10 defense
for your RBs to face. I also see Doug Martin continuing to garner 20+ carries per week from here on
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 10 www.FantasySharks.com
out. He’s the #19 RB in salary on FD this week.
WIDE RECEIVER: Most weeks, my plan will be to max out the wide receiver position. I’ll try to get
top guys for their reliability. With RB being so tight right now, I really want to find some good value
at one, maybe two WR positions. Here are some options for Week 13:
DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary
Stefon Diggs $6700 Michael Thomas $6900
Davante Adams $6300 Donte Moncrief $6700
Tyrell Williams $6100 Stefon Diggs $6500
Willie Snead $5100 Michael Crabtree $6400
Tyreek Hill $4600 Tyreek Hill $5800
First of all, I’m done with Brandin Cooks, the decoy. You’re better off chasing Willie Snead (DK) or
Michael Thomas (FD) for those wanting a piece of the Saints’ offense. If Stefon Diggs is healthy
enough to go on Thursday night, you have to like his usage. There’s no question he gets double-digit
catches IF he is good to go. My man Tyrell Williams continues to climb the salary ranks, but he still
represents value. He has scored a TD in each of his last three games. If you want a piece of
Oakland’s passing game this week, I’d look at Crabtree rather than Amari Cooper. Cooper’s targets
have been going to Crabtree as of late. If you’ve been reading, you know I’ve been on the Tyreek Hill
bandwagon (though I sadly didn’t beat that drum loudly enough last week). This guy is the real deal,
and you should not expect a letdown. He has 28 targets over the last three weeks!
TIGHT END: I’m going extreme on TE most of the time. Either it’s Gronk or Delanie Walker if the
numbers work out right (I find multiple bargains at other positions), or I might be punting TE. That
said, punting TE doesn’t mean you put a can of corn out there. You can get a quality contributor for
cheap. Here are some options:
DraftKings Salary FanDuel Salary
Kyle Rudolph $4100 Kyle Rudolph $5400
CJ Fiedorowicz $3800 Zach Ertz $5300
Cameron Brate $3600 CJ Fiedorowicz $5000
Coby Fleener $3500 Vance McDonald $4900
Vance McDonald $2900 Ladarius Green $4500
I feel like the whole TE class is pretty bland. Rob Gronkowski isn’t himself, Jordan Reed is hit-and-
miss, and Greg Olsen may not be in the league anymore. We’re left with a lot of blah. This week,
I’m looking deep for a punt option with upside. Vance McDonald is averaging over 6 targets per
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 11 www.FantasySharks.com
game over the last five weeks, with a season-high 8 targets last week. McDonald is a threat every time
the ball is in his hands, and his production is no worse than any other bland TE, such as Kyle
Rudolph. I like McDonald or perhaps Ladarius Green, who caught two 30+ yard passes last week
for Pittsburgh.
Here are a couple of sample lineups for cash game entries this week:

ASSUME THE POSITION BY BILL AQUAVIVA
ASSUME THE POSITION: Week 13
Kirk Cousins continues to light up opposing defenses and his future bank account is growing
significantly with each game. Trevor Siemian, Josh McCown and Matt Barkley were unlikely fantasy
QB studs this week, Kaepernick was the third leading rusher, Blake Bortles was 9th and Russell
Wilson was 10th; not bad for a bunch of QBs, Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill will be a huge waiver wire
pickup this week, and Atlanta’s Taylor Gabriel will be too (if he’s still available). LeSean McCoy
should have hand surgery every week, Rams rookie QB Jared Goff looked more like a #1 pick this
week (although it was only the Saints he faced), and why is Brock Osweiler still playing QB in
Houston? Andrew Luck should be back this week, the Jets are starting Ryan Fitzpatrick again this
week and Derek Carr don’t need no stinkin’ pinky.
This week is the last bye scenario you have to worry about for the year and it only affects Cleveland
and Tennessee.
The weekly Assume The Position article takes a look at some of the great matchups (“Money in the
Bank”), good matchups (“Safe Bets”) and bad matchups (“Rolling the Dice”), and we give you one
player at each position (QB, RB, WR and TE) that we’ve identified for that respective performance
(great, good or bad), taking into account the player’s offensive capabilities as well as the defensive
matchup they’re facing. And remember, a bad matchup is not a suggestion to bench a player; that
decision depends on your roster and who you have available to replace that player, it’s just a caution
for you to review and consider and check for a better alternative. If you don’t have a better alternative
you should stick with that player.
MONEY IN THE BANK (Great Matchup)
Alex Smith – QB, Kansas City Chiefs (@ ATL)
Smith is normally a backup QB but he had a decent showing against one of the top pass and overall
defenses in the league last week (220 yards and 1 TD) in the Denver Broncos, and he’s facing the
league’s worst ranked pass defense and the defense that gives up the most fantasy points to QBs.
Atlanta gives up an average of 282 YPG passing and against fantasy QBs the Falcons give up the 2nd
most yards and the 3rd most TDs. Alex “Game Manager” Smith could have a huge day in Atlanta.
Jordan Howard – RB, Chicago Bears (vs. SF)
Howard is currently 10th in the league in rushing YPG with 77 but his problem has been scoring TDs;
he only has 3 scores this year (2 rushing, 1 receiving). He didn’t score last week either but had a nice
game against Tennessee with 84 yards rushing. This week he gets to face the league’s worst run
defense in the San Francisco 49ers. The ‘Niners give up a whopping 172 YPG on the ground, and they
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 13 www.FantasySharks.com
give up the most yards, TDs and fantasy points to RBs. Howard could feast on the 49ers all day so
make sure he’s in there.
Julio Jones – WR, Atlanta Falcons (vs. KC)
Julio Jones (4-35) was outshined by several Falcons receivers last week, notably Taylor Gabriel (4-75-
2) and Mohamed Sanu (8-65), but even Justin Hardy (3-47) matched Julio’s output. That’s called an
anomaly and this week Julio Jones should return to triple digit yardage and the end zone against the
Chief’s 20th ranked pass defense that allows the 2nd most fantasy points, the 4th most receptions, the
2nd most yardage and the 6th most TDs to WRs. You never need to worry about one bad game from
Julio and this time is no different. Expect a huge week from this superstar.
Jimmy Graham – TE, Seattle Seahawks (vs. CAR)
The resurgent Graham is averaging 64 YPG receiving, 3rd best in the league for TEs and overall has
the 2nd most receiving yards for TEs. He’s also 6th in the league for receptions by a TE and tied for
7th in the league in TDs by a TE. And this week he faces the Carolina Panthers who give up the 3rd
most fantasy points to TEs including the 12th most yards and the 3rd most TDs. With the overall poor
pass defense of Carolina and the particularly bad defense against TEs, this is shaping up to be a big
week for Graham.
SAFE BETS (Good Matchup)
Russell Wilson – QB, Seattle Seahawks (vs. CAR)
Wilson is straddling the line of being a starting fantasy QB this year, and last week’s performance
certainly didn’t help anyone want to play him again this year (17-33-151-0-2), but this week Seattle is
at home and facing a Carolina Panthers team struggling in pass defense. The Panthers are the 28th
ranked pass defense in the NFL, allowing 275 YPG. They’ve given up 22 total TDs to QBs, the 6th
most in the league and they give up the 7th most fantasy points to QBs. Wilson only has 11 passing
TDs this year and obviously needs to increase that number. This week against Carolina may be just
what the doctor ordered.
Theo Riddick – RB, Detroit Lions (at NO)
Riddick only averages 39 YPG rushing and has just 1 rushing TD this year, but he’s always been more
of a threat as a receiver and averages another 39 YPG receiving but with 4 TDs receiving, and this
week he takes his nearly 80 YPG production and 5 total TDs to the New Orleans Saints who are giving
up the 3rd most fantasy points to RBs, including the 4th most rushing TDs, as well as the 4th most
receiving yards and 5th most receiving TDs to RBs. This has all the makings for a big day from
Riddick.
Sammy Watkins – WR, Buffalo Bills (@ OAK)
Watkins returned last week and hauled in 3 balls for 80 yards, which has to be a pleasant stat for his
owners who have seen him play in just 3 games so far this year. But as Rex Ryan pointed out in his
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 14 www.FantasySharks.com
discussion with Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News, just Watkins’ presence is encouraging: "I know it
was a limited role, but he's such a difference-maker. We hope he can play a little more and more,
because we certainly need him and we're a different team with him." Well, the news gets even better
for owners as the Bills face the Oakland Raiders this week. Oakland is 25th in the NFL in pass
defense and against WRs they allow the 7th most fantasy points, give up the 16th most receptions, the
5th most receiving yards and the 9th most TDs to WRs. Watkins has a great opportunity to build off
last week and produce some big numbers this week.
Travis Kelce – TE, Kansas City Chiefs (@ ATL)
Kelce is 6th in YPG and 3rd in receptions for TEs, and his 3 TDs is still good for 13th among TEs and
this week he has a great matchup against the Falcons and their league worst pass defense that is also
the 7th worst defense in fantasy points allowed to TEs. Atlanta gives up the 4th most TDs, the 7th
most receptions and the 15th most receiving yards to TEs. As cbssports.com points out, “Kelce has
gone over the century mark three times in all and has at least five catches in eight of 11 games this
season, making him a top option against the generous Falcons defense next week.” I agree; Kansas
City should be able to exploit the Falcons defense and Kelce should rack up some nice points.
ROLLING THE DICE (Bad Matchup)
Blake Bortles – QB, Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. DEN)
Bortles has had a lot of problems this year and his 250 YPG passing is just 18th in the league but he
does have 20 TDs, good for 9th in the NFL, including 2 TDs against Buffalo last week. While he may
still have a hold on some people waiting for last year’s Blake to show up, this week is not one to roll
the dice and hope he goes off. Denver has the #1 ranked pass defense and gives up the fewest fantasy
points to QBs, the 2nd fewest TDs and has the 8th most INTs. Bortles has had some recent running
success; according to Hays Carlyon of jacksonville.com, “Bortles has run for over 50 yards in two of
the four games [Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel] Hackett has called”, including a career-high 81
yards last week. But even his recent ground game won’t help him against the Denver defense and
Bortles should have a very long day.
Jay Ajayi – RB, Miami Dolphins (@ BAL)
After just an 18 rush, 45 yard and 1 TD performance last week, you’re likely hoping for and maybe
even expecting a better showing from Ajayi this week, but the matchup isn’t a favorable one as he
travels to Baltimore to face the Ravens’ #1 ranked rush defense in the NFL. The recent Ajayi decline
has more to do with offensive lineman injuries than Ajayi suddenly sucking. Cbssports.com points out
“the Dolphins badly missed their three offensive linemen, even against a defense [San Francisco] as
bad as this one.” Giving up just 75 YPG rushing, the Ravens are giving up the fewest fantasy points,
yards and TDs to RBs. That makes for a very risky start for Ajayi and his depleted offensive line.
Davante Adams – WR, Green Bay Packers (vs. HOU)
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 15 www.FantasySharks.com
Adams is playing very well this year, and many consider this to be a breakout season for him. Last
week he destroyed the Eagles with 5 catches for 113 yards and 2 scores, but two weeks ago against
Washington he was a bust so there’s still some inconsistency to deal with. Unfortunately for Adams’
owners this week, against the very tough Houston Texans pass defense (ranked 4th in the NFL) it looks
like it could be another tough outing, maybe not as bad as his performance against the Redskins, but
still concerning. Houston gives up the 3rd fewest fantasy points to WRs and allows the second fewest
TDs, the 4th fewest receptions and the third fewest receiving yards to WRs.
Jordan Reed – TE, Washington Redskins (@ ARZ)
So, after an incredible 10 catch, 95 yard, 2 TD performance last week against the Cowboys, you’d
think there was nothing that could show up as a bad matchup for Reed, well, maybe there’s nothing but
this matchup that could appear to be a bad matchup for him. The Cardinals .not only have the #2
ranked pass defense in the league, they also have the best defense against TEs and allow the fewest
fantasy points to TEs at under 3 points per game. They allow the fewest yards, the fewest receptions
and the fewest TDs to TEs. And by the fewest TDs I mean none. The only team in the NFL not to
allow a TD by a TE this year. I would never say bench Jordan Reed but you need to know this is a
very, very tough matchup.

FLEX APPEAL BY MICHAEL NEASE
Flex Appeal —Week 13 By: Mike Nease, Senior Writer
My goal each and every week is to help you fill that wild card slot in your lineup, the flex position,
with some viable, practical solutions.
In a typical fantasy football lineup we have one position dedicated to a flex player, that being an extra
RB, WR, or TE. Many people just take a lower tier RB or WR and slap them into the lineup. Following
that haphazard strategy can cost you games on a regular ongoing basis.
You can turn the challenging flex position in your lineup into one of strength, rather than an
afterthought. Typically the selection pool here in a 12-team league includes those players ranked
beyond RB24, WR36 and TE12. I will use several rankings sources to obtain a healthy consensus.
Marriage Material
This could be either an available free agent pickup, or a player you already have on your roster that
you would take home to meet your folks. This is a likely keeper that you can use more often than not
throughout the rest of the season. He has a flair for consistency and the ability to light up the
scoreboard with big numbers some weeks.
RB James Starks, GB
The Green Bay Packers have added James Starks beck to the lineup so they now actually have a RB
playing RB, instead of rotating WRs. Averaging 14.4 FPPG over the last three games he has compiled
a stat line with 33-99-0///13-84-2 numbers. When we are looking for steady scoring in the last few key
weeks, Starks is a great choice.
We expect him to score 9-10 FP in Week 13 vs the Texans in Green Bay.
WR Willie Snead, NO
Buried publicity wise behind Drew Brees, Brandin Cooks, Michael Thomas, Mark Ingram and Tim
Hightower, you might think there are not enough passes to support a 6th
offensive star in New Orleans.
Wrong! Willie Snead is a strong WR3 in New Orleans. Over the last three games he has averaged
almost 15 FPPG and had stats totaling 14-88-2. In addition, he threw a 50 yard TD pass in Week 12.
Against the Lions this week in a key game, Look for about 9-10 FP from Snead.
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 17 www.FantasySharks.com
WR Dontrelle Inman, SD
There seems to be a reluctance to play Dontrelle Inman of the Chargers, but he is a solid Flex choice,
Averaging 16.6 FPPG, he has compiled a 15-109-1 set of numbers over the last three games. You can
trust Inman, he has the Philip rivers stamp of approval.
Watch for him to give you a solid 9-10 FPPG, with an upside, vs the Bucs this week.
WR Tyler Boyd, Cin
In the last two games with A.J. Green out and that absence expected to continue, Tyler Boyd has
stepped up and has averaged 14.3 FPPG, acquiring a nice 11-116-1 stat line. Expect his increase in
targets to continue.
We expect Boyd to score about 9-9 FP this week vs the Eagles at home.
Love ‘em and Leave ‘em
A player here has some flex appeal, but you really only want him because of a favorable matchup this
week. You will likely see some red warning flags as you approach. A background check may alert you
to injury risks, his coach may favor someone else that is not even suiting up this week, etc., etc. But
hey, you don’t want to consider marriage. A one week stand is all you need him for now. But over the
long-haul, maybe, just maybe he could fit the bill for something long-term.
RB Terrance West, Bal
Having a quiet, but consistent season in Baltimore, Terrance West has compiled a 42-155-1///5-39-0
stat line over his last three games. While a 10.1 FPPG like he has over that span is not sensational, with
RBs in short supply he gives you a solid Flex player if you need one. The last time he played Miami he
scored five FP.
Expect West to get about 8-9 FP for you this week when the Ravens play the Dolphins at home.
RB Bilal Powell, NYJ
In his last two games, Bilal Powell has averaged 13.6 FPPG with a 12-73-0///8-59-1 stat line. He has a
much stronger yards/carry stat and is generally outplaying Matt Forte. Amazingly, this seems to
happen every year and the Jets keep giving the RB1 job to someone else.
Count on Powell to have about 7-8 FRP against the Colts this week at home.
WR Quincy Enunwa, NYJ
With a revolving wheel at QB and injuries to WRs, somebody still has to catch passes on this team.
Quincy Enunwa is playing well again after a bit of a slump. In Week 12 he used five targets to carve a
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 18 www.FantasySharks.com
nice 5-109-1 stat line. He matches up well against the Indianapolis Colts and will be a good Flex
choice this week.
We expect Enunwa to be good for about 8-9 FP against the Colts in Week 13.
TE Cameron Brate, TB
After an initial stir about Cameron Brate this season, he has kind of been put on that fantasy shelf in
the corner and has been gathering dust. Teams like Tampa Bay can operate in almost complete
anonymity unless your name is Mike Evans. With a 13-156-1 stat line in his last three games resulting
in an 11.3 FPPG average over that time, Brate has been effective and would be a good solution for
filling that Flex spot in your lineup.
You should be able to get about 7-8 FP from Brate this week against the Chargers in San Diego.
Last Call
The bar is closing and you are so, so desperate. We have all been there at one time or another. A
wasted draft choice is a scratch once again. Who can I add to my roster? Here we will give you a guy
to start. He won’t be great and very seldom will he be even good. But this week this mutt of a player
will give you at least something from the flex position.
WR Sammy Watkins, Buf
Play him while he’s healthy! Sammy Watkins returned in Week 12 and scored 11 FP. While his three
targets yielding a 3-80-0 stat line was not too impressive, it certainly makes him an unexpected and
welcome flex option this week vs the Raiders in Oakland.
We expect him to score about 9-10 FP for you against the Raiders in Week 13.
Adrian Balboa
To Rocky, she was the greatest, prettiest woman in the world. To the rest of us with discerning tastes
perhaps not so much. In fantasy football there are players like that available all the time. While others
are running away from a player and completely overlooking them is the time for you to swoop in and
snap them up.
TE Vernon Davis, Was
I know, he disappeared from the fantasy horizon a long time ago. But with a QB who loves to throw to
TEs and with Jordan reed at least impaired by a Grade 3 shoulder separation, if not out entirely,
Vernon Davis is a good Flex play this week. With a 9.1 FPPG average (8-134-1 stats) over the last
three games, he should do well with Reed being injured.
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 19 www.FantasySharks.com
Expect Davis to garner you about 8-9 FP vs the Cardinals on a trip to the desert.
And there you have it—the Week 13 Flex player recommendations. When you look at your lineup,
view it as a combination of players designed to give you enough points not only to win this week, but
enough to win each and every week and ultimately to win the league championship.
So, one more time—work hard each week to have the strongest lineup possible. Use your judgment to
maximize your points based on the players you have. Work the waiver wire and seek out trades to give
you the strongest roster you can have. Outwork your opponents and keep building your team from
week to week, even as the end of the regular season draws closer.
Good luck! Have fun!

DALLAS COWBOYS INJURIES TO MONITOR: None
A Minnesota Vikings defense that has rediscovered its mojo usually plays its best at home, but that’s
not going to stop you from starting the fantasy stars on a Dallas Cowboys offense that has scored at
least 27 points in seven straight outings. Well…there is one concern: Vikings top cornerback Xavier
Rhodes is expected to shadow Dez Bryant, which will depress his numbers and Dak Prescott’s
passing stats. With Bryant drawing Minnesota’s best cover guy, Cole Beasley, who has amassed 50-
something receiving yards in six of his last seven games, is the most likely Cowboys wideout to score.
The Vikings have been mediocre versus tight ends, aside from their Thanksgiving Day goose egg
treatment of Eric Ebron (Lions), but Jason Witten hasn’t scored or eclipsed the 60-yard mark in three
straight outings. Ezekiel Elliott is a must-start as usual.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS
INJURIES TO MONITOR: Stefon Diggs (knee), Sam Bradford (ankle), Adam
Thielen (shoulder)
The sputtering Minnesota Vikings offense hasn’t scored more than 20 points in a game since Week 5.
Since the Dallas Cowboys defense ranks third in fantasy points allowed to running backs, there’s little
reason to get excited about Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata as usual. At last check, Stefon Diggs,
who sat out his team’s Thanksgiving Day loss to the Detroit Lions, was expected to return and looks
like a great start versus a banged up Cowboys secondary. Diggs and Sam Bradford playing pitch and
catch is really all this offense has going for it. The return of Diggs puts a dent in Adam Thielen’s
value, but he’s the Vikings’ second-most targeted wideout. Even though Dallas has yielded the sixth-
most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, the inconsistent Kyle Rudolph is a dicey play. His week-
to-week numbers have been up and down lately. The Minnesota team defense is a low-end starting
option. The Dallas offense has surrendered the third-fewest sacks and has committed just nine
turnovers all season.

The Kansas City Chiefs offense looks primed for a productive game versus an Atlanta Falcons
defense that ranks in the bottom five in fantasy points allowed to the quarterback, running back and
tight end positions, but the Chiefs could have a letdown after their hard-fought Sunday night overtime
victory over the Denver Broncos. The Falcons have lost top cornerback Desmond Trufant, which
clearly hurts their secondary. Even if Jeremy Maclin returns (he hasn’t played since Week 9 and
would be a dicey play), Travis Kelce and rising fantasy star Tyreek Hill are both must-starts. Game-
manager Alex Smith deserves streaming consideration. Atlanta actually has been stingy against the
run at home, allowing just one rushing score to opposing tailbacks. Spencer Ware hasn’t found the

Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 28 www.FantasySharks.com
offense will attack. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, who will bounce back from his Patrick Peterson
treatment last week, are must-start options as always. Taylor Gabriel has racked up 322 total yards
and five total touchdowns on just 16 touches in his last four games played. While Gabriel is a boom-
or-bust option, it’s hard not to start him. Mohamed Sanu has been more consistent lately and
deserves flex consideration in PPR leagues. The Kansas City defense ranks fourth in fantasy points
allowed to tight ends, so don’t expect much from Austin Hooper for the third game in a row. Since
the Chiefs have been solid overall versus the run, dial down your expectations for Devonta Freeman
and Tevin Coleman. Tailbacks have had success against the Chiefs in the passing game.

DETROIT LIONS
INJURIES TO MONITOR: None
Since the New Orleans Saints defense has quietly shown some modest improvement, this probably
won’t be the big Detroit Lions scoring festival that you may have expected. Even though New Orleans
has allowed only one quarterback to throw for more than two scores at the Superdome (oddly, it was
Jared Goff last week), Matthew Stafford will still have a nice outing and has a nice change to rack up
three himself. Golden Tate is Detroit’s most productive wideout. The struggling Marvin Jones’ four
catches for 54 yards versus the Minnesota Vikings last week was his best outing in a month. Even
though we haven’t projected a touchdown for Anquan Boldin, it wouldn’t be a surprise for him to hit
pay dirt in this matchup. The New Orleans Saints rank just 21st in fantasy points allowed to the tight
end position, so Eric Erbon, who usually has his best fantasy outings on the road, will bounce back
from his Thanksgiving Day goose egg. Since the Saints defense remains weak against running backs
(fifth-most fantasy points yielded to the position), Theo Riddick is a solid play. It’s hard to imagine
the Lions team defense containing the high-octane New Orleans passing attack.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS
INJURIES TO MONITOR: Mark Ingram (toe)
Everybody knows the potent New Orleans Saints offense, aside from a super-tough Week 8 matchup
against the Seattle Seahawks, has been money in the bank at the Superdome. Drew Brees and leading
receiver Michael Thomas are both must-start options. Look for New Orleans to do everything
possible to get Brandin Cooks back on track after he logged a doughnut on zero targets last week. If
you toss out Willie Snead’s two-score outing from Week 10, he has been stuck on between 30-
something and 50-something receiving yards per game since Week 8. The Detroit Lions have
hemorrhaged the most fantasy points to the tight end position, but Coby Fleener is still a risky play
because of his inconsistency and timeshare with Josh Hill. The Lions have yielded the fifth-fewest
fantasy points to running backs, but Mark Ingram will still cobble together a solid outing thanks to
volume. Tim Hightower will do the same and deserves flex consideration in deeper leagues.

offense into a fantasy dumpster fire like many had expected. Goff, flashing a strong arm, looked
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 34 www.FantasySharks.com
largely solid while tossing three scoring strikes against the New Orleans Saints in Week 12, but we all
know the New England Patriots defense loves to torment young quarterbacks. Goff obviously isn’t
starter material in this matchup. Kenny Britt, Tavon Austin and Lance Kendricks have stayed afloat
statistically so far. Britt, who seems to be Goff’s favorite target, is the most likely one to score, but all
Los Angeles Rams receivers are very risky starts. Since Goff took over, Brian Quick has amassed just
four catches for 24 yards. The struggling Todd Gurley has either scored or compiled more than 70
yards just once since Week 6. New England’s defense will focus on him like a laser.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Rob Gronkowski (back), Tom Brady (knee), Julian
Edelman (foot), Martellus Bennett (ankle)
The Los Angeles Rams defense has played very poorly on the road, which is why most folks
reasonably think the New England Patriots offense can get by without the services of a very banged-
up Rob Gronkowski this week. Tom Brady and Julian Edelman are the mandatory starts here as
usual (yes, they’ll both play). The kneejerk reaction to Gronkowski’s likely absence is to start
Martellus Bennett, but the struggling backup has caught just four passes for 36 yards in his last two
outings. Bennett is clearly a dicey play. Brady has been spreading his passes around among receivers
not named Edelman, which makes Malcolm Mitchell and Chris Hogan both risky starts. However,
they both deserve flex consideration versus a leaky Rams secondary. LeGarrette Blount is the
safest start in the New England backfield, but James White and Dion Lewis have been playing in a
timeshare. The Patriots team defense is a solid start.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Trevor Siemian (foot)
A Denver Broncos squad that’s coming off a heartbreaking Sunday night loss to the Kansas City
Chiefs should be able to cobble together enough points to pull out a win here, but it looks like the
Jacksonville Jaguars defense is still giving a solid effort despite the team’s 2-9 mark. While the Jaguars
rank just 18th in fantasy points allowed to the running back position, the struggling Devontae Booker
is compiling barely average weekly rushing numbers and hasn’t scored since Week 8. Jacksonville has
been stingy versus the pass, so don’t expect big numbers from Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel
Sanders and Trevor Siemian. The Jaguars gave up two scores to tight ends last week, which is why I
like A.J. Darby’s chances to hit pay dirt. The Broncos team defense is a must-start as always.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Chris Ivory (hamstring), T.J. Yeldon (ankle), Julius
Thomas (back), Allen Hurns (hamstring)
It’s very difficult to trust any Jacksonville Jaguars fantasy stars on an offense that likely will be short-
handed and going up against the Denver Broncos defense. Everybody knows the Broncos secondary is
elite, so Blake Bortles, Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns (assuming he plays) and Marqise Lee are all
weak plays. Even if Julius Thomas returns, he isn’t a reliable option. Thomas had been struggling
before he went down with a back injury. Chris Ivory wasn’t expected to suit up, so Jacksonville will
use T.J. Yeldon (assuming he plays) and Denard Robinson in a timeshare. If Ivory and Yeldon both
sit, Robinson is the lead dog in the backfield. The Denver Broncos rank only 21st in fantasy points
allowed to opposing tailbacks, but the Jaguars ground game is one of the weakest in the NFL. This
looks like a buffet of desperation fantasy plays.

It’s going to be tough sledding for a Houston Texans offense that very rarely plays well on the road. A
banged-up Green Bay Packers defense is slowly getting healthy again, and the Packers, despite their
injuries, usually put up a fight at Lambeau Field. Lamar Miller, thanks to his regular high volume of
touches, is an okay start versus a Green Bay defense that ranks 15th in fantasy points ceded to the

tailback position. Brock Osweiler’s struggles in road venues are common knowledge in the fantasy
universe, but his top-two targets, DeAndre Hopkins and C.J. Fiedorowicz, are still moderate starts
versus a Packers secondary that played much better Monday night thanks to the return of cornerback
Damarious Randall. Will Fuller looked solid last week, but he should be considered a dart-throw
fantasy WR4 start. The Houston team defense has struggled big time away from home.

Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 42 www.FantasySharks.com
Since the Houston Texans defense hasn’t travelled well all season, this is a great week to start your
Green Bay Packers fantasy stars. Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams
are all strong plays. Even though Nelson likely will draw shadow coverage from Jonathan Joseph,
Nelson will still do enough to make a worthwhile play. Since the Texans have been very stingy to the
tight end position regardless of the venue, this isn’t the week to gamble on either Jared Cook or
Richard Rodgers. Don’t expect mediocre James Starks to erupt against a Houston defense that has
yielded the 10th-most fantasy points to the running back position, but Starks, a three-down back,
should cobble together a solid outing in PPR leagues. Christine Michael isn’t receiving enough
touches to be trusted in starting lineups right now. The Packers team defense is a nice streaming
option.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Jordan Matthews (ankle), Ryan Mathews (knee),

The poor performance by the Philadelphia Eagles offense (a season-low 13 points scored) versus a
banged up Green Bay Packers defense this past Monday night was a surprise, but don’t expect huge
rebound outings from any of the Eagles fantasy stars. The Cincinnati Bengals defense ranks 22nd in
fantasy points allowed to running backs, but the Bengals have been tougher at home. Look for just
moderate outings from the timeshare of Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood, with Sproles the
more likely of the two to score. Ryan Mathews was expected to miss his second straight game.
Cincinnati has yielded only three touchdown passes since Week 3 and ranks fifth in fantasy points
ceded to opposing wideouts, so don’t expect big numbers from Carson Wentz, Jordan Matthews and
Dorial Green-Beckham. The Bengals have coughed up the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends,
but the struggling Zach Ertz is a risky start.

Last week we got to see life for the Cincinnati Bengals offense without A.J. Green (hamstring) and

though the Philadelphia Eagles defense isn’t very scary on the road, don’t expect the Bengals offense
to erupt. It’s hard to see Andy Dalton passing for more than one touchdown since an Eagles defense
that ranks second in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends will still have success containing
Tyler Eifert despite the road matchup. Philadelphia has yielded the eighth-most fantasy points to
opposing wideouts. Tyler Boyd, who has been targeted 17 times in the last two weeks, is the leading
candidate for a scoring grab. Brandon LaFell, with just seven catches in the last two weeks, has been
a non-factor and hard to trust. The Eagles rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing tailbacks,
but Jeremy Hill, who is operating as a three-down back in Bernard’s absence, usually runs well at
home.

Don’t expect the Miami Dolphins bread-and-butter ground game, which is led by Jay Ajayi, to do
much versus a Baltimore Ravens defense that has surrendered the fewest fantasy points to the running
back position. Ajayi hasn’t scored in a road contest so far this season, and it’s very unlikely to happen
here. The Dolphins offense obviously will sink or swim on Ryan Tannehill’s right arm this week. A
Ravens secondary that has yielded the sixth-most fantasy points to enemy wideouts likely will be

missing standout cornerback Jimmy Smith (back), which will make things easier for DeVante Parker
(assuming he plays), who would have matched up on Smith. Baltimore also has struggled against slot
receivers on occasion, so a moderate outing from Jarvis Landry is likely. Kenny Stills remains a
boom-or-bust fantasy WR4 play.

BALTIMORE RAVENS INJURIES TO MONITOR: None
The Baltimore Ravens want to run the football, but they haven’t been doing it well lately. The Miami
Dolphins defense, which ranks 12th in fantasy points ceded to the running back position, has been
softer against the run in road venues. On top of that, Baltimore has been using Terrance West and
Kenneth Dixon in a timeshare. The struggling West is still receiving the bulk of the touches, but he
has scored just once in the last five weeks. Even though West could go off, Dixon could receive
enough touches to limit his upside. Consider both runners very marginal flex plays. The Miami
secondary is beatable, but Joe Flacco hasn’t exploited great matchups all season. Maybe he’ll do it
here, but Flacco has tossed multiple touchdown passes in just one of his last nine games. Steve Smith
and Mike Wallace are the best bets for yardage and scores in the receiver corps. Dennis Pitta still
hasn’t scored this season. The Baltimore team defense is a solid play.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Quinton Patton (concussion)
The San Francisco 49ers offense is slowly becoming more than just the must-start Carlos Hyde show.
Colin Kaepernick’s play has quietly improved. Last week he racked up the bulk of his 296 passing
yards and three touchdown passes, and 113 rushing yards against the Miami Dolphins when it
mattered. Consider Kaepernick a solid streaming option versus a sagging Chicago Bears defense that
ranks just 15th in fantasy points allowed to the quarterback position. The Bears also rank just 22nd in
fantasy points ceded to opposing wideouts, but – here’s the problem – Kaepernick doesn’t have a
favorite target right now. The touchdown pass projected for the inconsistent Jeremy Kerley could just
as easily go to Torrey Smith or Quinton Patton (assuming he plays). Vance McDonald, however,
has been solid with Kaepernick under center. In the last month, McDonald has either scored or
amassed 60 receiving yards in three of four games played. Chicago ranks 13th in fantasy points
allowed to tight ends.

Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 53 www.FantasySharks.com
The San Francisco 49ers defense still ranks in the bottom four in fantasy points allowed to the
quarterback, running back and wide receiver positions, so a ton of in-depth analysis isn’t necessary
here. Jordan Howard is a must-start. Matt Barkley, who is coming off a 300-yard, three-touchdown
Week 12 outing, is expected to start again in place of the injured Jay Cutler. It’s a great matchup for
Barkley and his receivers, but they should all be treated as risky starts. The inexperienced Barkley
could just as easily flop. Alshon Jeffery (suspended) obviously won’t play. Last week Barkley
targeted Marquess Wilson and Cameron Meredith the most, and it looks like Wilson (8-125-1 last
week) is Barkley’s favorite. Meredith logged just two catches despite being targeted nine times. He’s
the more dicey start of the two. Eddie Royal caught just one ball from Barkley in Week12. The other
Bears pass catchers are fantasy dart throws.

BUFFALO BILLS
INJURIES TO MONITOR: Robert Woods (knee), Sammy Watkins (foot), Percy Harvin (illness)
The Oakland Raiders defense is still struggling against the run, yielding the eighth-most fantasy points
to the tailback position. However, you’re smart enough to know that LeSean McCoy is a must-start.
Mike Gillislee will return after spending last week on the injury shelf, but he isn’t expected to see
enough action to have standalone value. The Raiders defense remains soft against the pass, too, but the
Tyrod Taylor-led aerial attack isn’t going to light it up. How often has that actually happened?
Sammy Watkins, according to media reports, had a setback with his bum foot and looks very iffy to
play, and so does Robert Woods. Marquise Goodwin is the team’s healthiest wideout, but the boom-
or-bust Goodwin is a dart throw. The struggling Charles Clay has been held below 30 receiving yards
in every game played since Week 6. Consider the Bills team defense a fringe starting option.

The Oakland Raiders offense has racked up at least 27 points in seven of its last eight outings. The big
bad Buffalo Bills defense isn’t as scary when it plays on the road, so don’t be afraid to start your
Raiders. The Bills rank 17th in fantasy points allowed to opposing tailbacks and have yielded four
rushing scores in their last four away contests, so Latavius Murray looks like a solid start. Jalen
Richard operates in a fantasy irrelevant breather-back role. DeAndre Washington was a healthy
scratch last week. Statistically Buffalo has been solid against quarterbacks and wideouts, but the Bills
haven’t faced many above-average players at those positions. Consider Derek Carr, Amari Cooper
and Michael Crabtree good but not great plays.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: None
The New York Giants offense hasn’t travelled well all season, and the Pittsburgh Steelers defense
usually plays above its pay grade at home. That’s why I’m expecting just moderate production from
the Big Blue fantasy stars. Odell Beckham is a must-start as always despite a matchup versus a
Steelers defense that ranks fourth in fantasy points allowed to the wideout position. With the Pittsburgh
secondary focusing on Beckham, look for Sterling Shepard to get back on track. Eli Manning
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 59 www.FantasySharks.com
apologized to Shepard for no targets last week, which snapped Shepard’s three-game scoring streak.
Pittsburgh has yielded the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs, but Rashad Jennings is a risky
start after he pulled a no-show against the Cleveland Browns last week. Paul Perkins isn’t receiving
enough touches to trust in starting lineups.

With at least 24 points scored in three straight games, it looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers offense is
back to its high-scoring ways. Even though the vastly improved New York Giants defense has been
solid against all the offensive positions, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger are
all must starts, and we all know that Roethlisberger plays his best at Heinz Field. However, Eli
Rogers, after posting a 100-yard game in Week 9 and a solid outing with a score in Week 10, has been
stuck between 20-something and 30-something receiving yards in the last two weeks. The Steelers
keep promising to get Ladarius Green more involved, but that has yet to happen. Take a wait-and-see
approach with him.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Jordan Reed (shoulder)
The Washington offense has been red hot during the last month, but it looks like the party will end
here. Even though the Arizona Cardinals defense hasn’t been as dominant as it was last season, this
stop unit still plays solidly at home. Washington likely will be without the services of Jordan Reed
(shoulder), and DeSean Jackson likely will draw shadow coverage from Patrick Peterson. Those are
the two reasons why Kirk Cousins, who has averaged 386 passing yards and 2.5 touchdown passes
per contest since Week 9, will post what for him are moderate numbers. Arizona has been soft against
slot guys, so Jamison Crowder should have a nice game. The Cardinals, however, have yielded the
fewest fantasy points to enemy tight ends, so Vernon Davis isn’t a safe streaming option. Rob Kelley
is a weak play versus an Arizona defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to running
backs and only one rushing score to the position at home all season.

The sputtering Arizona Cardinals offense hasn’t scored more than 24 points in a game since Week 6.
The Washington defense has been soft against the run, so it’s a no-brainer for Arizona to pound the
rock early and often with the must-start David Johnson. Even though the Burgundy and Gold haven’t
yielded more than one passing touchdown in a road contest all season, Carson Palmer should be an
exception. Look for depressed numbers from Larry Fitzgerald since Josh Norman likely will shadow
him. It’s hard to trust Michael Floyd since he has tallied more than 65 yards in a game just once this
season. Floyd also hasn’t scored since Week 6. Jermaine Gresham has hit pay dirt in two straight
contests and could make it three in a row versus a Washington defense that has yielded the 10th-most
fantasy points to tight ends, but he’s clearly a risky play. The Cardinals team defense is a decent
starting option.

defense. The Buccaneers’ triplets – the must-start Mike Evans, Jameis Winston and Doug Martin –
are all strong plays. Evans leads the NFL in targets, and he gashed the Legion of Boom for two scores
last week. Trevor Siemian (Broncos) was the only quarterback to visit San Diego and not pass for at
least two touchdowns so far this season. The Chargers have coughed up the sixth-most fantasy points
to the running back position, so Martin, who continues to operate as a three-down workhorse, should
have a nice outing. The other Tampa Bay wideouts are dice rolls as usual. Cameron Brate could
surprise against a San Diego defense that remains suspect versus the tight end position. Consider the
Buccaneers team defense a streaming option.

Statistically the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense looks improved, but the Buccaneers’ Week 12 home
performance versus the Seattle Seahawks screams “fluke” to me. In other words, don’t be afraid to
start your Chargers. Philip Rivers, Tyrell Williams (if he suits up) and Dontrelle Williams are all
strong plays. Travis Benjamin was quiet last week, which was his first game played after a knee
injury layoff. He’ll have to do more if Williams sits. Antonio Gates should rebound from his Week 12
goose egg since Tampa Bay has been soft against the tight end. Hunter Henry has scored in two
straight but hasn’t compiled more than 20 yards in a game since Week 6. Melvin Gordon is a must-
start as usual.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Kelvin Benjamin (shoulder)
Last week the Carolina Panthers offense, battling the Oakland Raiders defense, finally showed a
scoring pulse (32 points) with Cam Newton notching at least three total touchdowns in a game for the
first time since Week 6. However, there’s a world of difference between the Raiders defense and the
Seattle Seahawks defense. Don’t expect last week’s scoring success to carry over. We all know the
Seahawks are great against the pass, especially at home, so dial down your expectations for Newton.
Big physical wideouts like Kelvin Benjamin have had success against the Legion of Boom, but
Benjamin won’t be 100 percent if he plays. Newton has been leaning heavily on Ted Ginn in the last
two weeks, but the speedster is a weak start in this matchup. So are all Panthers wideouts. The
struggling Greg Olsen should rebound against a Seattle offense that hasn’t faced any top tight ends.
Jonathan Stewart hit pay dirt twice in each of last two matchups against the Seahawks, but I’m not to
promise a big outing from him since the Carolina offense hasn’t been clicking on all cylinders.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
INJURIES TO MONITOR:
It goes without saying that the Seattle Seahawks offense will rebound in spades after a head-scratching
three-point flop (the defense notched a safety) in a road loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
We all know the Seahawks want to pound the rock as often as possible, but don’t expect Thomas
Rawls to find much running room versus a Carolina Panthers defense that ranks fourth in fantasy
points allowed to the running back position. The Panthers, however, rank in the bottom seven in
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season

fantasy points ceded to the quarterback, wide receiver and tight end positions, which makes Russell
Wilson, Doug Baldwin and Jimmy Graham all strong plays. Jermaine Kearse and/or Tyler Lockett
could go off in this matchup, but they’re both dart throws. The Seattle team defense is a starting
option.

INJURIES TO MONITOR: Andrew Luck (concussion), T.Y. Hilton (back), Donte

If you own Andrew Luck, you’ll have to keep an eye on him. As I was writing this, Luck was still in
concussion protocol. The projections were calculated on the assumption that he’ll suit up for Monday
Night Football. If Luck receives medical clearance to play, he’s a strong start against a leaky New
York Jets secondary. It looks like Luck’s No. 1 target, the must-start T.Y. Hilton will play, too. He
and Donte Moncrief are strong starts against a Jets secondary that has coughed up the 10th-most
fantasy points to opposing wideouts. New York, however, ranks 10th in fantasy points ceded to tight
ends, and Dwayne Allen and Jack Doyle continue to operate in a timeshare. Even thought the Jets
have been solid against the run, Frank Gore should compile an okay outing thanks to his usual high-
volume load.

Indianapolis Colts Notes:
Fantasy Sharks 2016 Season
Weekly Report Page 74 www.FantasySharks.com
Previous matchup: Last season (Week 2), Indianapolis lost to New York 20-7 at MetLife Stadium.
In that game, Andrew Luck passed for 250 yards and one touchdown.
Frank Gore compiled a 15-57-0 rushing line and a 1-4-0 receiving line.
T.Y. Hilton caught four passes for 45 yards.
Donte Moncrief reeled in seven balls for 122 yards and one touchdown.
NEW YORK JETS
INJURIES TO MONITOR: None
Even though the New York Jets offense remains broken beyond any hope of repair this season, Matt
Forte is still a safe play. You can usually count on him for good yardage, and Forte has scored in three
of his last five games. The Indianapolis Colts defense has yielded the seventh-most fantasy points to
enemy tailbacks. Bilal Powell’s role in the offense has varied from week to week, which makes him a
risky start. The Colts secondary has been torched all season, but Ryan Fitzpatrick has tossed multiple
touchdown passes in just two games this season, which includes Week 12 against the New England
Patriots. Fitzpatrick could go off here, but he probably won’t. If Indianapolis cornerback Vontae Davis
plays, look for only moderate numbers from Brandon Marshall. The touchdown projected for him
could end up with Quincy Enunwa, who also is a risk for a bad outing if he doesn’t score.
