After allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs last year, they rank as the 10th-worst in the league this year, and that's despite allowing just three touchdowns to them. Singletary didn't look good against the Titans, so it's hard to say how this backfield will look moving forward, though I suspect Singletary will remain the most valuable.

The combination of Holton Hill, Jeff Gladney, Cameron Dantzler, and Mike Hughes has been rough in coverage, as they've all allowed at least a 101.9 QB Rating in their coverage.

The matchup he'll have this week is against Kevin King, a cornerback who's been extremely hot-and-cold throughout his three-plus years in the league. With Tannehill returning and the rest of Tennessee's offense remaining in tact, Brown enters 2020 with a considerable amount of fantasy upside. The Vikings were the best team in the league against tight ends last year but that hasn't translated to 2020, as they've allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per target to tight ends. In his coverage this year, he's allowed 16-of-22 passing for 142 yards, which is better than I would've expected. There were just three games all last year where he didn't see at least six targets. It would also be a plus if defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi was held out for another week, as he's certainly a force up the middle of the field. Despite not having a single game over 100 yards, Hill is the No. If we hear that Jeffery and/or Jackson are out, I'll come back and update. Sanders should be viewed as a mid-range RB2 again this week. The 0.59 PPR points per opportunity they've allowed to running backs is the lowest mark in the league, as no other team has allowed less than 0.64 PPR points per opportunity. When Julio Jones is out of the lineup, we know Ridley is getting targeted heavily. Start him as a TE1 this week and let's hope I don't jinx him. I'll be honest, I was worried about Duke Johnson stealing some of the work from David when Bill O'Brien got fired, but it had the reverse effect, as Duke had a season-low four touches last week. Still, it's something we need to pay attention to as the week goes on. Brown has had what I'd deem the most consistent opportunity but lacks upside with both Henderson and Akers involved. Over the last three weeks, he's been tagged in coverage for 13 receptions, 162 yards, and a touchdown on 21 targets. Even if Coleman returns, he wasn't great in this scheme last year, allowing a 107.3 QB Rating in his coverage. He's part of a bad offense, plain and simple, but he's seen at least seven targets in each game and totaled at least 11.1 PPR points in 4-of-5 games. If the Jaguars align the same way they did last week, it'd be Sidney Jones matched up with Golladay. In fact, they've been very good since Week 1. It's not a smash spot for someone like Harris, who's exclusively a two-down back, but he should net enough touches to get into low-end RB3 territory.
The slot cornerback Tate will see most of the day is Jimmy Moreland, who has allowed 13-of-16 passes to be completed in his coverage (81.3 percent) but they've only gone for 103 scoreless yards (7.92 yards per reception). Here are the slot performances they've allowed this year: Tyreek Hill (4/64/1 on six targets), Hunter Renfrow (6/84/1 on nine targets), Tyler Lockett (7/67/1 on eight targets), and Jakeem Grant (3/25/0 on four targets). Moore will match up with the rookie Jaylon Johnson most of the time, and while he's been good, it's a better matchup than Kyle Fuller. We don't even need to mention the 15 receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown that George Kittle posted on 15 targets, but we will. The Bucs lost interior lineman Vita Vea for the season just last week, a 350-pound defensive tackle who's PFF's No. Now he enters year two with Ryan Tannehill as his QB and could solidify himself as a reliable fantasy WR2. He looked healthy and explosive while catching 7-of-9 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown. Start Elliott as you normally would and expect results.

Of the production the Dolphins have allowed to running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends, it's been running backs who've accounted for 40.3 percent of that production, which is the fourth-highest percentage in the league, so the matchup isn't really the problem. No running back who's totaled more than five carries has finished with sub-4.0 yards per carry against them this year, including David Montgomery and Kenyan Drake, two running backs who've continually struggled in 2020. Through five games, the Falcons have allowed five running backs to post at least 18.5 PPR points against them. It is worth noting that three of Dalton's 11 pass attempts went to Gallup, including two on the final drive where he caught both of them for 57 yards. Well, had I known Jordan Howard was going to be a healthy scratch, I would've played Gaskin. We'll continue to monitor the situation, but this week it's going to be tough for him or Anderson to do much against a Bears defense that's been lights out to this point. Gordon looked good on his 23 touches against the Jets in Week 4, racking up 107 yards and two touchdowns. Beckham is far from a sure thing in the run-first offense but keep him in lineups as a WR2 while he rides a hot streak. Even though he's already had his bye week, Henry ranks second in carries (101) on the season. After his Week 5 explosion, he now has five touchdowns on 17 touches. Tagged: John Brown 2020 . Now onto a Patriots team that doesn't look the same as it did two weeks ago, let alone a year ago. Still, he's at a major size disadvantage against Harry (6-foot-2, 225 pounds) with his small 5-foot-9, 188-pound frame. We're only through five weeks of football, yet they've already allowed four different running backs to post top-three performances against them. They lost Robby Anderson, which certainly helps his target floor, but that was never really a problem. Allen, Evans, and Ridley all eclipsed 100 yards while seeing 10-plus targets. The 49ers have dealt with a multitude of injuries - and still are - but they've still yet to allow more than 63 yards on the ground to any running back. If Gordon plays, he should still have a 15-touch floor against a defense that's gone through too many changes to expect them to be better than average this year. Gallup is a tough one to project with the limited targets and you don't want to miss it when he catches a bomb for a touchdown, which makes him a risk/reward high-end WR4 where you just have to understand what you're getting into. The results have been somewhat of a mixed-bag, as JuJu Smith-Schuster started with 6/69/2, but then he bounced back limiting Allen Robinson to just 3/33/0, Robert Woods to 6/35/0, and then Amari Cooper to 2/23/0.

His 47 targets rank as the sixth-most in football, so it's not just big plays. He's apparently over his ankle injury that caused him to be a bit limited in Week 4, as he popped off for 131 yards and a touchdown against the Jets weak secondary.

2020 has thrown a lot at us, but maybe none more odd than me saying Gaskin is a solid RB2 this week who should have at least 18 opportunities in this game against a team that's seen 30.2 running back touches per game. What his managers don't realize is that there's a major fundamental change in this offense through the last two weeks. Fortunately, you shouldn't feel too compelled to play him against the Giants, as they've still yet to allow 50 yards or more than 8.9 PPR points to a tight end. At some point, we have to stop and say, "Is he the No. From that point: 6.25 targets a game, 30/703/5, with the occasional rush. Metcalf as my 1A receiver and Brown as my 1B. Despite seeing six-plus targets in three of their four games, Harry has topped 39 yards just once.

With all the uncertainty surrounding tight ends in fantasy this year, Hockenson should be trusted as a TE1 this week. There's no question that they'll have James Bradberry shadow McLaurin around the field, as he's their best cornerback who's shadowed thus far. It's good that he found a quarterback who'll trust him in those situations because he's not very good at separating. No, I'm a California resident looking for the California Consumer Privacy Act form. Disclosures. I'm still of the belief that he's the best wide receiver on this team but at some point, the results have a big enough sample size to be real. Go to Who Should I Start. These are things you need to know when it comes to considering someone like Edmonds in your lineup.


He did what he does best in their last game, skying up over a defender to win a contested catch from Stidham. His 4.5-second speed is not going to cut it with Hill. They've allowed a criminally-low 1,118 yards on 385 carries during that time, which amounts to 2.90 yards per carry. The Jets have allowed a league-high 71.0 percent completion-rate to receivers, as well as a sky-high 9.88 yards per target. Perine hasn't been trusted with more than nine opportunities in the three games Bell was out, so he's surely going to be difficult to trust. Still, this is a game that should benefit Gibson's role as the primary 1-2 down back with some passing duties mixed in, as the game's spread is very tight. I was going through opportunity for DFS purposes last week, trying to decide on a running back and Gaskin kept popping up. It's important to note that Brown averaged a ridiculous 8.9 yards after the catch last year, a number that isn't repeatable. 2 running back last year, behind McCaffrey. Henderson would certainly be my choice if picking one, even with that hiccup in Week 4, but it's tough to say he's more than an RB3 in a tough matchup. It's a very small sample size, so what about the level of competition? Buffalo Bills announce multi-year extension with Sean McDermott. It's not like we don't have a big enough sample size, as his 32 targets rank fifth among tight ends. This duo is likely the worst in the NFL, as they've combined to allow 27-of-33 passing for 439 yards and four touchdowns. That was a brutal matchup, so why should we care about the tough matchup against the Jets? Over their last four games, they've allowed just one running back to finish better than RB32, though lack of competition was a real thing with matchups against the Jets, Giants, Eagles, and Dolphins. If you move Brown down to the 5.5 range, he would've recorded 187 fewer yards and finished as the WR28. You have to understand the risk, especially with Davante Adams back in the lineup, but Tonyan may have made too big of a mark in Week 4 for the Packers - and Aaron Rodgers - to look away. With all the plus matchups the Cowboys had on the field, they didn't need to push the issue with Cooper.

Over the last four weeks, no team of running backs have finished with less than 96 yards and a touchdown on the ground, while four of the five teams they've played have totaled at least 39 yards through the air with their running backs.

Now, the Bills have added Stefon Diggs to the receiving room which doesn't bode well for Brown. Even better news is that two of those tight ends were C.J. In the three games with Jones, Hurst has totaled 3/38/0, 5/72/1, and 4/51/0, which are respectable numbers. Dating back to last year, in the same scheme, with very similar personnel, the Chiefs have allowed 23 running backs to hit double-digit PPR points against them. He's actually finished as a top-36 wide receiver in 3-of-5 games despite being a rookie and not being heavily involved early on. Looking at fantasy points the Chiefs have allowed to running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends, the wide receiver position has accounted for just 42.6 percent of the production, which ranks as the fifth-lowest percentage in the league. He hasn't recorded more than two catches or 36 yards, so you're not considering him. He's allowed 17-of-23 passing for 194 yards, though no one has scored on him. Matt Nagy needs to adjust his approach this week to have success.
