Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans (out)
I was already fading the Tennessee offense this week. Until we see more, last week's explosion was more aberration than norm—the Bucs are terrible. Having said that, Walker's absence boosts receiver Kendall Wright ($6,100) a bit, and tight end Anthony Fasano ($4,600) becomes a GPP dart at near-minimum salary.
C.J. Spiller, RB, New Orleans Saints (active)
This was coming, but Spiller was officially made active this morning. There is little reason to stick him in lineups at $6,100 given his likely limited usage.
LeSean McCoy is active for the #Bills, but expect he’ll be less than 100 percent. For #Saints, CJ Spiller to be used in red zone & 3rd down

This does ding Mark Ingram ($8,100), but the matchup is so strong that you shouldn't be scrambling to make changes there. Khiry Robinson ($4,900) is a fade at this point, even at that price.Alshon Jeffery, WR, Chicago Bears (out)
A week after coming back from a calf issue, Alshon Jeffery was ruled out with a hamstring injury this week. This is a huge blow to to the Bears offense -- Marquess Wilson ($4,500) and Eddie Royal ($4,800) are now the starters.
You will note those are some pretty nice prices. The question is who will Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson cover? He shut down Saints receiver Brandin Cooks last week, and it's quite possible he'll be on more-prolific Royal. Wilson is a better physical specimen, though, and Peterson could be tasked with keeping him in check.
Both of them are good GPP plays, but Martellus Bennett becomes an even better cash option this week. Even at $6,100, Bennett could see double-digit targets from quarterback Jay Cutler.
Tre Mason, RB, St. Louis Rams (active)
Todd Gurley, RB, St. Louis Rams (out)
Both of these situations make sense -- Gurley should be held out as long as possible coming back from that torn ACL, though it looks like he's on track to make his Week 3 debut.
Mason's activation means bad news for Benny Cunningham ($5,800). A Week 1 sleeper, Cunningham is no longer minimum-priced. Washington's defense, meanwhile, held down a good Dolphins offense last week. The run defense has been surprisingly good since last season.
Meanwhile, Mason is way too expensive at $7,200 to even consider.
Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (active)
By many accounts, Mike Evans could have played last week. The Buccaneers kept him out to avoid aggravating his injury, which could be good news for his Week 2 output.
At $8,100, however, it's tough to trust the second-year wideout this week. The game script says the Buccaneers will be passing the ball a ton in the second half, but his lack of rapport with quarterback Jameis Winston combined with the threat of injury aggravation just makes him a fade. (Note: that is polar opposite of what the great Dr. Jene Bramel told you. Probably better to listen to him.)
His return may or may not impact fellow receiver Vincent Jackson ($7,200), who had a relatively quiet Week 1 despite a favorable game script and matchup. Austin Seferian-Jenkins is still a minimum-priced tight end worth having at $4,500 in all formats. Winston looked his way plenty, and Evans could draw additional defensive attention.

Interesting analysis! With Walker out, Wright and Fasano could be sneaky DFS plays. Kinda like strategizing your team in Pokerogue, you gotta find those unexpected synergies. Speaking of strategy, anyone compiling a Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex yet? Identifying those key creatures and their matchups is vital for long-term success, just like finding value in these underpriced players.
ReplyDeleteSolid insights. Bennett and Seferian-Jenkins look like great value plays, and fading pricey RBs like Mason makes sense given the matchups fall guys online
ReplyDeleteStacks that are profoundly possessed, rare stacks, matchups that have the potential to be shootouts, and sprunki mustard protected stacks are all topics that I cover. So, here's a concept that is totally arbitrary.
ReplyDeletesprunki mod communities are full of talented remixers. I’m always inspired by what people come up with.
ReplyDeleteGood points on Walker and Jeffery's impact. It will be interesting to see how the value plays perform, especially Wilson and Royal. For more insights on DFS strategy, check out sprunki phase 26 for helpful tips.

Great injury analysis for DFS! The breakdown of Walker's impact on Wright and Fasano is spot-on. Bennett looks like solid value this week. For more sports strategy insights, check out this resource!
ReplyDeleteIt’s always tricky managing fantasy lineups with so many last-minute injury changes — especially when players like Delanie Walker or Alshon Jeffery drop out unexpectedly. I totally agree that C.J. Spiller’s activation doesn’t make him a must-start; limited snaps make it too risky. Personally, I use Concrete Calculator for planning projects, and the same mindset applies here — you need to calculate risks before committing your picks. Also, the analysis on Mike Evans feels spot-on; his chemistry with Winston isn’t quite there yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat insight on the Bears offense without Alshon Jeffery. I didn’t expect Marquess Wilson to step up that much. By the way, I was just browsing Huarentie earlier — a nice place for catching up on community info while following NFL updates.
ReplyDeleteInteresting take on Mike Evans — I might bench him this week too. Reading this feels like building a strategy in Royale Idle, where timing and balance make all the difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this timely update! Injury news can really change fantasy results overnight. Feels a bit like solving pieces of a game — reminds me of Chiikawa Puzzle, where every move matters.
ReplyDeleteNice coverage! The comparisons between players and values are helpful. I read it during a short break playing Baseball Bros Unblocked — both teach you about patience and timing!
ReplyDeleteSolid advice here. Choosing the right RBs feels like merging tiles in 2048 Juego — one wrong move and you lose your streak. Love the analysis on Gurley and Mason.
ReplyDeleteThis write-up is clear and smart. Injury reports often mess with my fantasy picks, but this helps a lot. Kind of like playing Block Blast — you need strategy and quick reactions.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the heads-up before kickoff. These injury updates are crucial. It’s like trying to dodge obstacles in Dino Game — one bad hit and you’re done for the week!
ReplyDeleteGreat week’s analysis — I was checking injury updates while playing a few rounds on Football Bros. The way you break down player value feels just like making quick reads and passes in the game — smart, fast, and tactical.
