Hilton (31)-I like the matchup versus the Raiders plus this year he explodes into a weekly WR2.<\/p>\n<p>Fred Davis (15)-The Eagles showed a ton of holes on the defensive side of the ball which will be exploited by the Redskins with short safe throws.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Bench Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Robert Griffin (11)-I think the Redskins play it very safe with him and he has a pedestrian game.<\/p>\n<p>Lamar Miller (20)-There has been so much talk about a job share plus he is playing an underrated Browns defense.<\/p>\n<p>Daryl Richardson (23)-The Cards defense is solid and Richardson has never carried the load, I do not see enough production to warrant a starting position in the fantasy world this week.<\/p>\n<p>Eddie Lacy (24)-There is just no way I would start a rookie against the 49ers run defense, only way to get point is a lucky red zone carry or 2.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Wallace (24)-Joe Haden will shutdown this one trick pony in a low scoring game.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Decker (26)-This is where we see him losing targets plus playing the Super Bowl champ as a big underdog with a chip on their shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Johnson (30)-The Patriots will double team and shut down the only real experienced receiving option for the rookie QB.<\/p>\n<p>Martellus Bennent (14)-He will have issues getting free against a tough Bengals defense.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for reading and please free free to ask any questions on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week in this space, I will review players who are ranked outside the top 150 for QB&#8217;s and TE&#8217;s and top 20 for WR&#8217;s in the weekly ESPN rankings.\u00a0 This will be who I think will flourish and who will disappoint in the upcoming week. \u00a0I do not review those ranked higher since they [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":14193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-21763","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fantasy-football","8":"category-featured-editorials"},"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/fantasy_football.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/peLffi-5F1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21763"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21763\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58872,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21763\/revisions\/58872"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
