Week 2 Streamers

This will be the first in a line of weekly articles I will be writing about streaming options at the quarterback, tight end, and D/ST positions. For each position, I will give two streamers that are under 40% owned according to ESPN’s ownership percentages based on the time of writing. I’ll start with quarterback, followed by tight end, then D/ST. Quarterback and D/ST will typically be matchup dependent plays depending on the opposing defense and offense, respectively. The tight end streamers will often be breakout players from the previous week as tight end matchups are much more difficult to predict than quarterback or D/ST. In both sections, the player listed first is my preferred stream and the second option is a backup if the first player is already rostered. With that said, let’s jump right in.

In the Scope: Undrafted Week 1 Breakout Candidates

More times than not in redraft leagues, following Week 1 of the fantasy football season, a player appears.A player, although nearly forgotten in all drafts, is now so sought after that whoever holds the first waiver spot has the opportunity to claim a player, who not only holds value over players drafted rounds deep into the draft, but could essentially change the league’s season narrative. Sometimes these players are exactly what you’d hope they would be. Devonta Freeman, Alvin Kamara, and Phillip Lindsay are a few of these home-run, undrafted gems.

Rookie Redraft Avoids

In part one of this article, I gave you three rookies to target in redraft formats in 2019.As discussed previously, I will limit the discussion to running backs and wide receivers due to fantasy relevance and the limited value at the quarterback and tight end positions. In this section, I will give you one running back and two wide receivers to avoid in drafts.

Rookie Targets in Redraft

Drafting rookies is a key part of fantasy drafts and is one of the best ways to provide an edge over your competitors. As rookies have not yet competed in the NFL, your average fantasy player is less informed about their skill sets and abilities. There are no previous stats or fantasy finishes to rely on to help in evaluating players, like those that exist for veterans.

Redraft: Take a Chance on Hockenson

Six months is a long time to be digging up stats and researching football. Through all that confusion, fantasy fans develop hard stances on players’ situations and refuse to change their mindset. We either get sucked into believing the hype of a player, or we ignore a beautiful situation because we have convinced ourselves that a team is no good. We’re all guilty of it.
Check out my arguments to why I believe T.J. Hockenson will deliver year one production.

Camp Battles: Three is a Crowd

In this article, we’re going to wrap up the camp battles to watch for in 2019. You can find the previous articles in this series by clicking on the following links: Part One Part Two If you haven’t checked those articles, you should take a look to see some of the other important competitions impacting your fantasy football drafts. Here come two more exciting battles.

James Washington vs. Donte Moncrief vs. Diontae Johnson (PIT – WR) In this camp battle, these three wide receivers are fighting for the number two spot in the Steelers’ offense behind star receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster. Considering that last season Antonio Brown had 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and 15 touchdowns, there is a lot of room for someone new to step up and potentially reach WR2 status after Brown’s trade to the Raiders. Let’s examine each of the players in turn, starting with Washington. Washington was drafted by the Steelers with the 60th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft. In his final college season, he won the Biletnikoff Award for best college wide receiver and was extremely hyped as a member of the stacked wide receiver class of 2018. However, Washington disappointed as a rookie, only managing 16 catches for 217 yards and just one touchdown. After Brown was traded to Oakland, Washington was expected to step up into the WR2 role. However, at this moment, he is losing the competition to the next player up, Donte Moncrief………………………………………………………….

Here I’ll take a look at Fantasy Football Calculator’s half PPR ADP data and pick out a few players from their top 30 overall players that I will not be drafting in 2019 redraft leagues.
