Lamar Is Trending Down and Cincinnati Gets Easier: ROS Moves to Make Right Now
Buy Low Before It's Too Late
Jared Goff is trending up in ROS rankings, sitting 9th overall with 273.7 projected points remaining and an average of 20.4 per game. He has a consistency score of 93.9 and Detroit's schedule sets up beautifully the rest of the way. He's averaging over 20 points per game and people are still treating him like a streamer. Buy him now before his managers figure out what they have.
Chase Brown is the other buy. With Ja'Marr Chase out this week, Cincinnati's passing volume reshuffles, but Brown's rushing workload doesn't change. The Bengals have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league, with favorable weeks in 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, and 16. That last stretch covers your entire fantasy playoff. Brown is cheap to acquire right now. That won't last.
Sell High Before the Schedule Turns
Jonathan Taylor looks like a must-start every week, and his 99.6 consistency score makes him easy to trust. But he's walking into Pittsburgh this week ranked 5th against running backs, and Indianapolis's ROS schedule is not as clean as his current price tag suggests. If someone in your league is offering you a premium, take it. Sell the perception before reality catches up.
The Schedule Insight That Wins Championships
Denver and Cincinnati have the two easiest remaining schedules in the league. Denver gets favorable matchups in Weeks 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, and 15. Cincinnati's best weeks are 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, and 16. Weeks 14 through 16 are the fantasy playoffs in most formats. Both teams are lined up to feast exactly when it matters most. Any player on those rosters with a primary role is worth acquiring at a slight premium today.
