Wide Receivers
Similar to the backfield situation, this week has a lot of favorable matchups between wideouts and defense's, but it's not going to come cheap. If you want to pay up for one big name and utilize two under the radar guys, then go for it. Some of these matchups for the big names are almost too good to pass up anyway.
DeAndre Hopkins - $8,700
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that DeAndre Hopkins is going to be the best wideout on the board for the Saturday slate. The Houston Texans wideout catches everything and produces a solid 20-points-per-game. Over the last few weeks, Hopkins has been dealing with some nagging injuries, but he's still been able to produce. This week, he's fully healthy and shouldn't experience any setbacks against a struggling New York Jets defense. Pairing up Watson and Hopkins is a no-brainer on Saturday.
Courtland Sutton - $5,000
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Courtland Sutton is pretty much going to have the passing game to himself on Saturday, so it's only right that he's utilized. With Demaryius Thomas out of the picture, and now Emmanuel Sanders landing on the Injured Reserve, Sutton automatically becomes the number one target, and the most reliable pass catcher on the field. Now, don't expect a monster day for Sutton, as Case Keenum has been known to struggle this season. But if you want a guy that's going to have a significant amount of opportunities, then Sutton is definitely the guy this week.
Robby Anderson - $4,200
On a bigger slate, I wouldn't suggest paying up for Robby Anderson, as the Jets passing offense has been horrible as of late. But since there are only two games and no stack that's worth breaking the bank for, then it's better to pretty much spread the ball around. The Jets will have Darnold this week, so maybe there will be an increase in the passing game. Considering that Robby Anderson is Darnold's favorite receiver, then it only makes sense to utilize him. Earlier on in the year, Anderson was a monstrous deep threat. But after a few injury setbacks, and his quarterback hitting his rookie wall, their production hit a speed bump.
