Week 13 RB Snaps
TAMBO
Tambo put up a pretty good showing at King of the Beach and is taking home $40K. Some of which he’ll be giving back to YOU… potentially. You’ll have to tune into the Friday DraftKings show to figure out how to get some…
Week 13 Team Notes
Steelers: 11 targets for Diontae … 60 yards and 0 scores. Just another day at the office. This year is showing us that bad offenses can sabotage talented pass catchers (see Falcons, Atlanta).
Falcons: London got a 50% target share and didn’t score, but 6 catches and 95 yards are a step in the right direction. He’ll get there … in the future.
Packers: Does Aaron Jones disappear from the lineup lock discussion should Aaron Rodgers sit? Three straight inefficient games on the ground and if Rodgers isn’t under center, I’m not super comfortable in the receptions bailing Jones out.
Bears: For the third time in his past four games, Justin Fields had a run gain more than 55 yards. It’s not even close to sustainable, but it also appears impossible to stop right now. I don’t think it makes sense for Chicago to play him, but as long as they do, you do.
Jaguars: Christian Kirk is the real deal. Is he worth all the money they are paying him? Dunno, but he’s their WR1 and a viable threat in all forms of fantasy this season and until noted otherwise beyond 2022.
Lions: Relax on getting too excited here. We know the inside/outside stuff with Goff and after Week 14, he closes the season with three of four outdoors. You can count on Amon-Ra St. Brown, but the rest of the production on this roster is risky to bank on.
Jets: This Mike White experience is … fun. 57 pass attempts without a touchdown is tough to do, but it’s pretty obvious that he’s good enough for Garrett Wilson to shine and that’s all I care about. Lineup lock and worthy of DFS consideration weekly.
Vikings: Jefferson was largely held in check: still catches 7 balls and a score. I’m not sure there are three players I’d prefer in a dynasty setting.
Commanders: Brian Robinson is pretty clearly the best back in this backfield. The Week 14 bye is a pain, but the matchup with the Browns during the fantasy Super Bowl (Week 17) is certainly promising.
Giants: We got the valuable version of Danny Dimes … 13 rush attempts and taking 8 shots at Darius Slayton (90 yards). He’s a DFS play, not a safe annual player, but the upside is there.
Titans: Treylon Burks got his bell wrung on his lone target (25-yard TD) … I still like him long-term. Derrick Henry had another bad game when the Titans get scripted. They don’t have to tap out often, but when they do, Henry’s floor is so much lower than the rest of the elite backs.
Eagles: A pair of 100-yard receivers … Hurts proves he can hurt you in a variety of ways. If you can still trade, selling DeVonta Smith
Broncos: Latavius Murray is the clearly “the guy” in this backfield … and I clearly don’t care. After the bye chaos of next week, I don’t have any time for players on these offenses that have next to no scoring equity.
Ravens: Mark Andrews is struggling and if Lamar is out for an extended period of time … uh-oo. He’ll be worth starting because #TightEnd, but considering him elite is no longer a thing.
Browns: Donovan Peoples-Jones continues to flash play-making skills and with Deshaun Watson under center, I’ll go ahead and trust the process.
Texans: Dameon Pierce runs hard … that’s simply a fact. The brutal previous two games weren’t rectified here and this offense is terrible, but he’s an asset and for fantasy, I think you can play him weekly.
Seahawks: The Geno/DK/Lockett triple is a thing … and if Kenneth Walker misses time, wheels up. This is a concentrated, efficient offense. I’d be more concerned about getting exposure to those three in DFS should Walker sit then I would be in who assumes the backfield touches.
Rams: Cam Akers scored! Twice!- Told you he’d be good! He’s the lead back in a bad, awful, offense. Not reading into it and not playing him unless you are REALLY stuck with six teams on a bye next week.
Dolphins: Tua came back to earth in a tough matchup. Happens. Don’t think the Chargers present that type of resistance next week. Carry on.
49ers: This Jimmy G injury could sink the value of Kittle into an uncomfortable spot. What does San Fran have? Play-makers. What will they need if Garoppolo is in fact out for awhile? Time to get said players involved and making Kittle a blocker is a clear path to making that happen. I’d be worried if I was slotting Kittle in weekly.
Chiefs: MVS had a bad drop because that’s what MVS does but the targets were there. I’m not saying he’s a starter in anything but deep leagues, but there are valuable targets to be had in this offense and we know the per play upside is there.
Bengals: That’s two straight weeks with viable rushing numbers from Joe Cool. I’m not saying he’s Mike Vick, but with Chase back, it doesn’t require much to be a top tier option and if this running thing sticks, Burrow is that.
Chargers: Tough TD catch from Keenan Allen and he’s looked every bit the fantasy WR1 in his 3 games back. Consider him as much moving forward and THE top receiver in this offense, I don’t care if Big Mike plays.
Raiders: I don’t know the math behind it for GPPs, but for cash, going Jacobs AND Adams would seem to make sense given the concentration of this offense. When in a good matchup that is. Did I mention they face the other LA team on Thursday night?
