Bold Predictions, Mortal Locks, and sleepers

Bold Prediction - Broncos over the Chargers

Yes the Broncos suck, but their luck has got to change and this is the week for everything to go the Broncos way. Even with all the hype of Melvin Gordon’s return to the Chargers, and the home field advantage, you can put all of that into the trash. The Broncos will win behind the arm of the most elite QB in the league, Joe Flacco, and the running of Phillip Lindsay. Don’t sleep on the Broncos because this week they will finally get that elusive 1stwin of the season in Carson, CA.

Mortal Lock - Browns Win, no explanation necessary

Sleeper - Tyler Eifert

· 16th most targeted TE in the league

· Rostered in only 20-30% of leagues (Depending on platform)

· Playing the Cardinals who rank 1st in most points given up to TE’s this year

· A struggling Bengals offense will need a spark in order to win and Eifert is where they will look

· In 2019 Eifert has faced the 15th, 29th, 31st, and 18th best defenses in terms of fantasy points given up to TE’s

Summary: The Bengals are going to make it an effort to expose the Cardinals poor D against TE’s and this will lead to Eifert having a BIG game (12+ pts). This will hold true as long as the O-Line can protect Dalton especially against a D-Line that is tied 10th in sacks with 11.0 on the year. Cross your fingers that the Red Rocket will produce and enjoy a fantasy steal with Eifert. That is this weeks Small Time Player, Big Game expert pick of the week.
