Ranks 11 Sleepers On board with Moncrief Taylor

Yeah, buddy. I made this proclamation on "NFL LIVE" last week. And I felt like a bo s last Thursday night, too. I mi sed the first half of the Thursday night opener. No, it wasn't a lack of interest. I have "NFL LIVE" on Thursday. We shot Episode 1 of "The Weekender" (hey, it's a work in progre s, give it a chance). Plus, we had a rehearsal for a brand new show I will be hosting on Fridays this fall. And it starts this week at 4 p.m. Right before "NFL LIVE". (Sorry, I won't be on the Friday show. But you can DVR it and skip through until Like/dislike.) " is going to score 20 TDs this year."- Watch: NFL Fantasy Football (@NFLFantasy) So I had my phone safely in the glove box when it started to blow up on my drive back to my Orange County compound during the first half of the game. I instantly knew one of two things had happened. Either had a monster performance. Or (more likely in my pe simistic mind) had four rushing touchdowns to completely ruin everybody's fantasy team.To my pleasant surprise, it was Gronk. And it was amazing. Gronk added a Antoine Griezmann Jersey third, my Twitter mentions were glowing mentions of how rad I am. I even took a swig of my Diet Pepsi and laughed to myself as I thought this fantasy (stuff) was way too easy. And to think, some scoffed at the notion. There was no doubt I was at the very apex of the fantasy world. There would be absolutely nothing that could knock me off that lofty perch. And then I said this.Go pick up Josh Hill, right now. Put him in your lineup. You will not be sorry.- NFL Fantasy Football (@NFLFantasy) Suddenly my Twitter mentions were le s than glorious. Actually, people were upset. Threats were made. Credibility was questioned. Just a typical day. I mean, I can't be mad at anybody. I myself have been blocked by a pretty well-known sports writer, so I know what it's like to take out some frustration on somebody of note. (Although, if I'm your person of note, you should clearly have higher standards.) I only mention this to say, yes, I'm absolutely aware kind of sucked last week. Brutal might be more accurate. I had multiple teams that suffered. Understand that I only give my highest endorsements to players I've actually played. Funny aside. I had on a bunch of teams. In the leagues Liverpool FC Jersey I played with nonprofe sionals, I had to play Hill because he was the best option available. In two industry "experts" leagues, had to settle for on the waiver wire. Un-freaking believable. So this is a long way to say we will be better this week. And for the record, I'm the kind of idiot who likes to double-down on my bad decisions. I follow up a Jaeger-bomb shot with a Fireball shot. So I will play Hill again. Oh boy. I don't blame you if you don't want to read on., QB, (vs. ) He's more of a daily fantasy play this week. He had close to 16 points in his debut against the . He wasn't sacked the entire game. The gave up a ton of pa sing yards to the in Week 1. The don't have an , but I could see Taylor doing some damage. , RB, (vs. ) Johnson appeared in one play and hot damn, he made it count Borussia Dortmund Jersey . He's scored a touchdown on every NFL touch! Coach Bruce Arians has tempered expectations because he doesn't want the rookie to get a big head. But at some point Arians will realize he likes to eat and he needs to put the best players on the field. He's a better option than . , RB, (at ) He had eight receptions for 70 yards against the . Understand that all of the targets typically reserved for won't all nece sarily go to receivers. Expect Dunbar to be a bigger part of the pa sing game this week. Especially if the get into a high-scoring affair with the ., RB, (at ) This could be a risky play if plays this week. I highly doubt that will happen. But Cunningham played really well against the last week with 12.20 points and led the team with 20 touches. The highest touch total in the last 17 games. The have allowed 130 rushing yards in three of their last four home games. , RB, (at ) He had 10 touches last week for 34 yards. Not great, but the defense is pretty good. The allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs in Week 1, and the most to running backs last season. I'm still bullish on , but Allen could do enough damage this week for people who play in 14-team leagues and have some injury Kevin De Bruyne Jersey concerns. Yep, this is coming from experience. , WR, (vs. on MNF) My mentions took a beating this summer when I said Moncrief was a better option than Dre Johnson headed into this season. He had a nice Week 1 against the , as he had six receptions for 46 yards and a touch. This is only the start, folks. He's owned in just 30 percent of leagues. Jump aboard when you can., WR, (at ) Street stood in for Dez when he mi sed OTAs during the offseason. is the obvious play. But coverage will roll towards him. Cole will stay in the slot. So Street could get some single coverages. The allowed the second-most fantasy points to receivers in Week 1 (36.60) and the most in 2014. BTW, all three of 's touchdown pa ses came with Dez off the field., TE, (at ) He had a very nice game against the with a pair of touchdowns. So you obviously caught him on the highlights. I'm here to let you know this dude is for real. Plus he has a nice matchup against the . , TE, (at ) Ebron Christian Pulisic Jersey was the most targeted pa s catcher in Week 1. Seriously, does think he has to be that cool to everybody? Sheesh. But we must take this seriously. The sort of wasted a high draft pick on him. I like the matchup against the , who allowed seven receptions for 92 yards last week. D/ST The had five sacks, two picks, a fumble recovery and an INT return for a touchdown in Duval County, Florida. That's 21 fantasy points to you and me. Here comes another great matchup against the Texas this week who turned the ball over a ton. If the are already gone, hit me up on Twitter. -- You can hit Rank up for more advice or let him know how lousy his picks are on Twitter . Don't be thrown off by his # wars, though.
