Conor O’Driscoll uses the RotoViz suite of tools to identify opportunities to buy low on players likely to post strong fantasy performances, and to help you see red flags before your opponents notice. The Strength of Schedule (SOS) Streaming App is particularly useful for this as it allows us to see which players have the easiest or most difficult upcoming schedules, a potentially league-winning edge.

Despite some controversy about how the game ended, Chase Claypool gave one of his better fantasy performances of the season and delivered 17.5 PPR points, good for WR 15 on the week. Skill position players on the Tennessee Titans were more disappointing, however, as the Jaguars’ offense offered no incentive for them to keep scoring and the Titans topped out at 20 points. D’Onta Foreman was the highest scoring non-quarterback at 14.2 PPR points. There were no other performances of note.

This Week’s Smash Spots

This section is going to primarily focus on players who have disappointed recently but should still carry starting consideration. These are players who aren’t necessarily top-tier fantasy producers but have a greater than usual opportunity to provide a startable week. One important note is that as players continue to test positive for Covid in droves, attention to detail should pay off handsomely. Some player will be pushed into bigger roles. Additionally, some defenses that were previously stingy may suffer due to the absence of key performers.
