Fantasy football: Bengals’ Tee Higgins a good pivot from popular picks

You already know whenever you go on a pleasant trip and have a good time. It doesn’t matter how thrilling the ultimate day’s agenda is, it's clouded by a bittersweet showers of emotions, understanding it's the final day.

Sunday is our closing day of soccer trip. The dessert after an beautiful pigskin meal. Our final stab of fantasy soccer fandom.

However with only one recreation on the schedule, the fantasy choices are way more restricted than regular. There aren't any full rosters within the bulk-entry DFS contests. What you've got is a group of Flex spots with one reserved for what we’ll name our Tremendous Participant (it’s MVP at FanDuel and the Captain place at DraftKings).

With no positional necessities, you primarily are simply making an attempt to select the highest 5 or 6 fantasy gamers in Sunday’s Tremendous Bowl. But it's not possible to afford a roster filled with prime, and even reliable choices. However at that prime spot, you get 1.5 occasions the fantasy factors.

This implies a few issues. It's essential to hit on that Tremendous Participant. You’re going to wish a deep sleeper or two to have any shot at good cash. And, with a really shallow pool of choices, it'll be tougher to make your roster distinctive from different entries.

You begin on the prime, clearly, along with your Tremendous Participant, then construct round him. You may go QB there, however they're fairly costly — and contemplating they usually ship probably the most dependable manufacturing, additionally among the many hottest. There may be Cooper Kupp, the only highest-priced participant (FD $16,000, DK $17,400), however he additionally will likely be extremely used.

We begin at DK with Tee Higgins ($11,400), liking him higher than the marginally costlier Odell Beckham Jr. ($12,600) — pondering Jalen Ramsey has a greater shot at shutting down Ja’Marr Chase than anybody on the Bengals does stopping Cooper Kupp.

Plus, he's much less horny than numerous the opposite picks, so determine not many will likely be utilizing him within the Tremendous spot. He has a good probability of a two-score recreation — the edge we like to contemplate when choosing our prime gamers.

Then we add each QBs, leaving us with $17,200 of cap area for 3 spots — a median of simply $5,733 per participant.

Now we need to discover a deep dart we wish to attempt to work again into place to afford higher gamers with our final two spots. Rams tight finish Tyler Higbee is out, and backup Kendall Blanton ($4,600) wasn’t dangerous within the NFC title recreation.

It’s clear we’re not going to have the ability to afford Kupp, so we go for Beckham. With what little we've left, we’ll take Bengals kicker Evan McPherson ($4,000).

At FD, we go after Kupp. As a result of we will’t afford each QBs then, we take Stafford ($15,500) to pair with Kupp. Then we fill out with Higgins ($10,500), McPherson ($9,000) and Tyler Boyd ($8,500).

Final probability of the yr. Let’s hope dessert is sweet.

Key picks you need to think about for this weekend’s FanDuel and DraftKings contests:

Joe Mixon

Joe Mixon RB, Bengals (FD $12,500/DK $14,400)

If the Rams fearsome entrance incessantly finds its manner into the Bengals backfield, as many anticipate, some fast passing choices and screens will likely be wanted for Joe Burrow & Co. That would imply a much bigger function within the passing recreation for Mixon. It additionally places Samaje Perine on the radar.

Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Rams (FD $10,500/DK $8,400)

He has been regular and powerful since arriving to LA. With a lot consideration possible centered on Cooper Kupp, Beckham ought to be capable of discover some empty area within the secondary to maintain racking up some early-Odell throwback stats.

Tyler Boyd WR, Bengals (FD $8,500/DK $8,100)

Don’t have any particular cause to love Boyd any greater than common, apart from his value. He scored 4 straight weeks to finish the season and begin the playoffs.

Kendall Blanton TE, Rams (FD $8,000/DK $4,600)

Was principally invisible all season earlier than a TD vs. the Buccaneers within the divisional spherical then stepping in to seize 5 catches within the NFC title recreation after Tyler Higbee went down. QB Matthew Stafford confirmed no worry throwing him the ball.

Evan McPherson Ok, Bengals (FD $9,000/DK $4,000)

He has been cash this postseason. The Rams’ protection has extra expertise than any Cincinnati has confronted this postseason. A number of stalled drives wouldn't be a shock.
