CeeDee Lamb Owners, the Schedule Is About to Get Ugly: Here's Who to Buy Instead
Buy Low: Jonathan Taylor Is Being Undervalued
Taylor's owners are nervous. He's had some inconsistent weeks and people are selling. Don't be the buyer who talks himself out of a good trade. Tennessee ranks 26th against running backs this week, and Taylor projects for 22.9 points with an 82% confidence rating. His ROS average sits at 19.4 points per game with a 99.6 consistency score. That's not a boom-or-bust guy. That's a metronome. If his current owner is panicking, make the call today.
Buy Low: Jared Goff Is Trending Up at the Right Time
Goff is the 9th-ranked QB in ROS points at 273.7 total, averaging 20.4 points per game with a 93.9 consistency score. He's trending up in rankings and Detroit has one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league. His ADP rank sits around 33rd at quarterback, which means you're getting an elite-tier producer at a discount. In two-QB formats this is a must-acquire. In single-QB leagues, he's the handcuff for your sanity.
Sell High: Jaxon Smith-Njigba Before the Injury Tax Hits
JSN is the 3rd-ranked WR in ROS points with a 99.4 consistency score. His value has never been higher. But he's questionable this week with an ankle injury, and Seattle owns one of the harder remaining schedules. Ankle injuries for route runners are not minor. Sell into the hype right now before the injury clouds his value further and before the schedule tightens. Buy the guy on the other side of the trade who has clean health and an easy draw.
The Schedule Insight You Need Before Playoff Drafts
Cincinnati and Kansas City have the two easiest remaining schedules in football, with favorable weeks stacked deep into the fantasy playoffs. KC's favorable weeks include weeks 10 and 14, right when it matters most. Kenneth Walker projects for 21.7 points this week alone and has a 98.2 consistency score over the ROS. Meanwhile Dallas, Green Bay, and New England have brutal schedules the rest of the way. If you're holding players from those teams expecting a second-half surge, the schedule is working against you.
