Is Newton going to resurrect anyone’s fantasy team? Heck no. Walker is terrible and Matt Barkley is … still in the league? What’s the point in having backup QBs if they aren’t worth playing in this situation? A bad team now led by a washed-up QB is giving it the ol’ college try because they’re somehow still in the postseason mix. Yes, Darnold is out, but the real problem here is the Panthers don’t have a prospect behind Darnold worth a snap. What I find strange is everyone’s goldfish memory where now Newton is coming to save the franchise. Remember when the Panthers were 3-0 and Sam Darnold seemed to get his career back on track? Since then, Carolina is 1-5 and it may come as a surprise that they’re still on the doorstep of earning a playoff spot. That trade partner? Evan Silva, formerly of Rotoworld and now Establish The Run. Part of that deal gave me Greg Olsen in exchange and my trading partner ended up needing Olsen back since Hernandez did not play again. Random trade fact: I once traded Aaron Hernandez away in a dynasty league, three days before he was arrested. If you’re willing to spend for a championship, I like QB Joe Burrow, RBs Michael Carter and Khalil Herbert, WRs Stefon Diggs and Keenan Allen, and TE George Kittle.ĭeep sleeper for the rest of the season: 49ers RB Jeffrey Wilson Jr. Thomas has spent most of the season injured, so maybe his manager is struggling or has found a replacement for him, allowing you to make an undervalued, yet still-appreciated trade offer. Philly is allowing more than 19 fantasy PPG to tight ends, worst in the league. TE Logan Thomas (WAS): This boils down to two big matchups against the Eagles in Weeks 15 and 17. Again-like the aforementioned Gaskin-we’re keeping our fingers crossed for a turnaround.

Then from Weeks 15-17, they have plus WR matchups against the Vikings, Seahawks and Giants in the fantasy playoffs. After the Bears’ Week 10 bye, they get the Ravens, Lions, Cardinals and Packers through Week 14. So let’s assume the team kind of gets it together. It’s on Justin Fields and the playcalling. WR Allen Robinson (CHI): We know, it’s the offense holding him back. But what a fun upset against the Ravens, who seem to be playing down to their competition every week. He’s a team leader and you don’t hear his name often enough since the narrative around the team tends to focus on what the offense is not doing. Well, Miami knows he’s good - they gave him one of the biggest contract extensions ever for a corner two years ago (five-year, $75.5 million).
He’s one of the most underrated corners in the game. Scoop and scores are one of the best plays in football, but for Howard to do it is special. The Dolphins held a 6-3 lead through halftime, then sealed the deal with 16 fourth-quarter points, highlighted by ‘Fins cornerback Xavien Howard’s 49-yard fumble return touchdown. This year has been a wild one, just look at the Thursday Night Football result last night. Like you I hope, I’m just kicking back and enjoying it. There’s still two months left in the 2021 NFL season. We’re not quite at the home stretch we’re not down to the nitty gritty.
