Week 9 Streamers

All Access / By /

In this streaming article, I will provide you the best weekly options to stream quarterback, tight end, and D/ST. In each section, I’ll break down two streamers in detail, both of which will be under 50% owned, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage at the time of writing. Playing the matchups is a crucial feature of redraft fantasy football, and especially in a crazy 2020 season, active fantasy owners will have a massive advantage. I also want to provide added value for each type of streamer this season. I’ll highlight any players from 50-60% owned in each section if they’re superior options to both of my streaming candidates at that specific position. Those players are “probably owned,” but they could be out there in 10-team or shallower formats. I won’t offer analysis on these players, just the names and matchups.

If neither of my two suggested streamers is under 25% ownership percentage, I will give a “super-deep” option. That feature should help those owners playing in deeper leagues with few waiver-wire options. Like the “probably owned” players, I’ll list the players without analysis. I realize that all leagues are different, and I want to accommodate all of my readers.

The Falcons are a complete sieve as a defense against quarterbacks. Every quarterback facing the Falcons has thrown over 300 yards, including Bridgewater himself in Week 5. In that game, he threw for 313 yards and two touchdowns, and he completed 27/36 passes. 

I don’t see why Bridgewater wouldn’t succeed once again this week, as little has changed with either team. Potentially, Christian McCaffrey might even return for this game, although that’s still up in the air. If McCaffrey does play, Bridgewater will regain his top receiving weapon, and he would become a reliable QB1. Even if McCaffrey sits, Bridgewater is still a low-end QB1 and an excellent streaming option for the week.

Herbert has been nothing short of spectacular, averaging 21.8 fantasy points/game as the Chargers’ starting quarterback. In Week 5 against the Saints, Herbert threw for 264 yards and four touchdowns, finishing with 27.4 fantasy points on the week. Herbert also adds a bit of value with his legs, although he only averages 13.8 rushing yards/game. However, even a few rushing yards can make the difference at the quarterback positions, as QB scoring is tight outside of the top options. In Week 7, Herbert draws a dream matchup against the Jaguars’ porous defense. They’ve given up 30 or more points in every game since Week 1 in five straight losses. Opposing quarterbacks average two touchdowns, 274 passing yards, and a 106.8 passer rating versus the Jaguars. I expect Herbert to carve up the Jaguars in this game, and I have Herbert ranked as a borderline QB1 for the week.

In each section, I’ll break down two streamers in detail, both of which will be under 50% owned, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage at the time of writing. Playing the matchups is a crucial feature of redraft fantasy football, and especially in a crazy 2020 season, active fantasy owners will have a massive advantage. This week, the NFL made a bunch of schedule changes which, of course, changes my streaming recommendations. The Chargers now have a Week 6 bye, whereas before, they had a game against the Jets. Of course, I liked the Chargers’ options in that game, but they’re now unavailable. 

I’m also assuming there will be no further schedule changes and that the NFL sticks to the schedule referenced in that link. Make sure to check your league’s waiver timing, as that may have changed with a Tuesday game this week. With all that out of the way, let’s jump into the streamers.

2020 DFF Weekly Preview

All Access / By /

Unlike my usual articles, this one will have nothing to do with the NFL itself or even anything specifically related to fantasy football. Instead, I want to do a little preview of what’s to come from the DFF team during the 2020 season. We’re going to do weekly article series for dynasty, redraft, devy, IDP, and even DFS. Of course, we’ll cover breaking news and other topics outside of solely this content, but we’re committing to providing an excellent base of weekly content. Let’s go through what we will cover, department by department.

A Look Back: My 2019 Streaming D/STs

All Access / By /

In 2019, I wrote a weekly column for @DFF_Redraft giving QB, TE, and D/ST streamers each week of the fantasy season. To qualify as a potential streamer, a player needed to be 40% owned or less, according to ESPN’s ownership percentage data. In this three-piece series, I’m looking back at how I did with predicting each category of streamer. In this part, it’s time to look at the D/STs.

Week 16 Streamers

Uncategorized / By /

Welcome back to my streamers column. For each position, I will give two streamers that are under 40% owned. These ownership percentages come from ESPN at the time of writing, typically Sunday night or Monday morning. I’ll start with quarterback, followed by tight end, then 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 not available. At this point, we are in the final week of the season, which changes the strategy even more.

Tannehill is a must-play in week 15. He put up another strong performance in Week 14 against the Raiders, scoring 27.5 points in four-point touchdown scoring. He went 21/27 passing for 391 yards and three passing touchdowns. The Texans just gave up 309 passing yards and three touchdowns to Drew Lock in Week 14, making them a prime matchup for Tannehill.

In my week 7 streamers article, I recommended Cousins as part of a three-week stream, including Weeks 7-9. Cousins paid off against the Lions in Week 7, scoring 29.2 fantasy points in four-point touchdown scoring. This was Cousins’ third straight game exceeding 20 points, giving him momentum heading into this home matchup against the Redskins.

Kirk Cousins (MIN) vs. Lions, 26.6% owned
All of a sudden, the Vikings have opened up their offense to include far more passing. Cousins has exceeded 300 passing yards in each of the last two weeks. In Week 6 against the Eagles, star receiver Stefon Diggs finally got going, breaking out for seven receptions, 167 yards, and three receiving touchdowns. Cousins also continued his chemistry with his other great receiver Adam Thielen, connecting for six receptions, 57 yards, and a touchdown. For the season, Cousins has nine passing touchdowns compared to just three interceptions, making him a reliable and relatively safe quarterback. To further advocate for Cousins, his Week 8 and Week 9 matchups are against the Redskins and Chiefs, respectively, so this could be a three-week run for Cousins. Given the poor state of streamers in Week 7, Cousins will likely be ranked as a borderline QB1 in a relatively neutral matchup against the Lions.

Gardner Minshew (JAX) vs Saints, 18.1% owned
While Minshew has not been a star fantasy quarterback thus far in 2019, he has been consistent throughout the entire season. In standard four-point touchdown QB scoring, Minshew has scored at least 16 fantasy points in each game, never busting even once. Against the Panthers in Week 5, Minshew set a career-high of 374 passing yards and 44 passing attempts.
