SELL – Owen Daniels – TE – Denver Broncos
Much like Jacob Tamme’s performance for the Falcons a week ago, I’m not buying the production from Owen Daniels in week nine. He tallied 102 yards on six catches and a touchdown in week nine against the Colts, which is a season high for those totals across the board. Daniels previous season high in receiving yards this season was just 44, and his six catches were one better than his season high. The Broncos just made a trade for Vernon Davis, who only had one target in his debut with the team but is likely just getting familiar with his new surroundings and learning the playbook. It has been the year of the tight end in the NFL, with Gary Barnidge, Tyler Eifert, and Travis Kelce emerging to join the group of reliable tight ends around the league. It’s safe to look elsewhere for more reliable tight end production.

BUY – James Starks – RB – Green Bay Packers
Eddie Lacy was likely one of the top five players drafted in the majority of leagues across all formats in fantasy football this season, and he has now been benched as the Packers starting running back. While Mike McCarthy has said that he does not believe in relying on just one running back, Starks is likely going to get the bulk of the workload because of his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. Lacy is the more talented back on the Packers roster, but the team is likely looking to shake things up to get off of their two game losing streak. Starks carried the ball 10 times for just 39 yards against a stout Panthers running game, but he did catch six passes for 83 yards and a touchdown out of the backfield. Starks was given the chance to start for the Packers in week two against the Seahawks, where he actually fared quite well. He had 20 carries for 95 yards and caught four passes out of the backfield as well against one of the better defenses in the NFL. The Packers return home losing two straight road games to the then undefeated Broncos and the undefeated Panthers, where they will have a great chance to get their problems worked out against the one win Lions.

BUY – LeGarrette Blount – RB – New England Patriots
It’s very unfortunate for New England hearing that they will be without Dion Lewis for the remainder of the season, but the good news is that they still have LeGarrette Blount. Blount ran for 129 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries in the Patriots win over the Redskins on Sunday. Blount will need to be the primary ball carrier in the Patiots attack moving forward, which will likely make them a more balanced team than when Dion Lewis was healthy. Blount is 94% owned in ESPN leagues, but it might be a good time to swoop in a grab him cheap. He has shown the ability to be the lead back for the Patriots, running for 148 yards and three touchdowns in the AFC championship game back in January. Blount has played for the Titans, Buccaneers, Steelers and Patriots, but he wasn’t able to make it work anywhere other than New England.

BUY – Michael Crabtree – WR – Oakland Raiders
One of the main reasons for the success of the Raiders over the last few weeks on the offensive side of the ball is that Derek Carr now has two legitimate weapons on the outside to throw the ball to. Michal Crabtree has been great for the Raiders since their bye week, hauling in 20 passes for 173 yards and four touchdowns in just three games. The Raiders are really feeling it of late and have been one of the more surprising teams around the NFL to take a big step out of being known as one of the bottom feeders around the league. Crabtree has more catches, yards and touchdowns than Amari Cooper in the last three games, which shows the damage they can do in the passing game. Carr, meanwhile, has 11 touchdowns since coming off of the bye week in their three games and is really turning into a franchise quarterback for the men in silver and black. Look for Crabtree’s success to continue moving forward, as the Raiders will continue to air it out and put up a significant amount of points as Carr continues to develop chemistry with his two new receiving weapons.

BUY – Jeremy Maclin – WR – Kansas City Chiefs
Maclin is likely not going to have a very efficient game this week against the number one ranked Denver Broncos defense, however, I believe that Maclin is on of the more underrated wide receiver’s in fantasy football. While he only has two touchdowns on the year, he has shown that he is the top playmaker on a Chiefs offense that is missing their star running back, Jamaal Charles. Maclin was injured in the Chiefs week six matchup against the Vikings with a concussion and missed a game the following week against the Steelers before his team dominated the Lions over in London, so we haven’t had the chance to see a complete game of chances from Maclin since week five. Last time against the Broncos, Maclin finished with four catches for 57 yards, as the Chiefs moved him all over the field. They will likely do the same this time, as I expect they will do anything they can to get the ball into his hands.

SELL – Ryan Tannehill – QB – Miami Dolphins
It turns out that those six touchdowns against the Titans and the Texans were just that. They were against the Titans and the Texans. Tannehill, while throwing for more yards in the last two games against the Patriots and Bills than he did against the Titans or Texans, did not throw a touchdown in the process. It’s been a very up and down year for the Dolphins, who appear to currently be on a downslope. Tannehill was said to be a potential breakout top 10 quarterback this season, but he has struggled with consistency and throwing interceptions in bulk. Whenever he throws a pick, a second (or third) one is likely coming, as he has thrown multiple interceptions in every game that he has thrown an interception all year (four games). If I were a Tannehill owner, I would look on the waiver wire for Derek Carr or even Blake Bortles, as both of those quarterbacks are going to air it out and throw a respectable amount of touchdowns every week.
