This section expresses my gut feeling with regard to which NFL players I feel will have good days and those that will have bad ones. I remind everyone to take these picks with a grain of salt. They are certainly NOT meant to override our weekly rankings! They are based upon past performances as well as this week's match-up. Last week, click RB Josh Jacobs provided all the "(Jordan) Love" his fantasy owners needed with a big game. Meanwhile, click RB Rico Dowdle also had a big game for his fantasy owners in a revenge game against his former team. Sometimes, the match-ups really do help! This week, look for the Lions and Buccaneers to produce a high-scoring affair, so that means you start all the key skilled players in that game, especially clicks QB Jared Goff and QB Baker Mayfield! Remember, the BYE weeks continue this week with Buffalo and Baltimore not playing, so be sure to sit your Bills and Ravens! Good luck to everyone this week!
