check out the prize $<\/a>.<\/h2>\n<h3>Underachievers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Peyton Manning- \u00a0I am in the prove it stage, plus he has a tough defense in the Ravens who have a healthy secondary.<\/li>\n<li>Andrew Luck- The Bills are a top 5 defense, you may not be able to bench him but I would temper expectations.<\/li>\n<li>Drew Brees- He has a few things going against him, on the road where he plays much worse than home as well as playing a top 10 defense in the Cardinals.<\/li>\n<li>LeSean McCoy- He has been injured and is to much of a gamble this week.<\/li>\n<li>Justin Forsett- I see the Broncos being a top 5 defense and not sure how Forsett will fit into this new scheme.<\/li>\n<li>Alfred Morris- He does not play on passing downs and expect them to fall behind\u00a0which\u00a0will limit his carries.<\/li>\n<li>Odell Beckham- He was been the toast of the off season but the Cowboys were pretty solid vs receivers last year.<\/li>\n<li>Alshon Jeffrey- \u00a0We have not seen him all preseason and John Fox is also a tad\u00a0sketchy\u00a0with injuries, I would stay away.<\/li>\n<li>Keenan Allen- \u00a0I just do not yet see him as a WR2 based on the\u00a0match-up\u00a0and his projected\u00a0opportunities.<\/li>\n<li>Jimmy Graham- \u00a0The Rams were top 5 defending the tight end last year and I expect the same starting 2015.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>OverAchievers<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sam Bradford- Ride the train while he is upright in an awesome\u00a0match-up.<\/li>\n<li>Carson Palmer- I expect the Saints to be a bottom 5 defense, easy peasy.<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Tannehill- \u00a0I expect big things all season from this QB and in what will be a theme, I will pick against most NF East teams at this position<\/li>\n<li>Jonathon Stewart- The Jaguars have a decent defense but I expect a full does of Stewart due to the lack of\u00a0receiver\u00a0options.<\/li>\n<li>Doug Martin- I am drinking the\u00a0preseason\u00a0kool aid here as I saw a different RB than past few years.<\/li>\n<li>Darren McFadden- He has been named the starter and think he scores and puts up 75 yards in his 15 touches.<\/li>\n<li>DeAndre Hopkins- The Chiefs are missing their best CB and best DT, and Brian Hoyer has shown he can feed a WR1.<\/li>\n<li>Allen Robinson- \u00a0I expect at least 12 targets against an injured Carolina secondary.<\/li>\n<li>Jarvis Landry- This is the start of his breakout year, an every week starter.<\/li>\n<li>Delanie Walker- \u00a0He is their best mid range passing option, I see Mariota leaning on him big time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div>Here are my Fan Duel picks, I will give 2 higher and 3 lower salaries I like at each position.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wlfanduel.adsrv.eacdn.com\/C.ashx?btag=a_887b_1251c_&amp;affid=733&amp;siteid=887&amp;adid=1251\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to join the JetNation week one FanDuel league &#8212;

I see double digit targets and a touchdown.<\/li>\n<li>Vincent Jackson $7,200- He had similar stats to Evans and with him\u00a0questionable\u00a0he\u00a0should\u00a0soak up the targets.<\/li>\n<li>Allen Robinson $6,100- He should get all the targets with no Julius Thomas.<\/li>\n<li>John Brown $6,000- He spent the off season with his QB, I expect a very bog season.<\/li>\n<li>Davante Adams $5,500- \u00a0This is too easy but if head to head just take it and run.<\/li>\n<li>Nelson Agholor $5,500- Playing a bad defense,\u00a0this\u00a0will be his cheapest week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tight Ends<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Martellus Bennett $6,200- He is Jay Cutler&#8217;s best option in a game they will have to pass.<\/li>\n<li>Delanie Walker $5,400- I think he becomes Mariota&#8217;s best friend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>Thank you for reading and have a great week, feel free to ask any questions here or on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/dvond\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Mike<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wlfanduel.adsrv.eacdn.com\/C.ashx?btag=a_887b_1251c_&amp;affid=733&amp;siteid=887&amp;adid=1251\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to join the JetNation week one FanDuel league &#8212;
