Week 12 Street FA Report
Each week we will recommend a group of players that are owned in less than 50% of RSO league that should be rostered. Depending on roster and league sizes not all of these players may be available. For that, we will offer 1 player that is owned in <10% of leagues as our Sleeper add.
Add of the Week
Ryan Grant, WR – WAS (Owned 10%)
Week 11: 3 Rec/59 yards, 1 TD
Terrell Pryor was just placed on IR Monday with an ankle surgery on the way. Chris Thompson also left the game with a broken fibula. Josh Doctson is already owned in every league, same with Jamison Crowder so who is the next man available? It’s Ryan Grant, who has had success this season and should benefit greatly from these injuries. He already has 30 receptions and 3 touchdowns this season being the number 3 or 4 option most of this season in Washington. With serious injuries at the running back position, I expect Washington to pass more to receivers over the final six games and Grant’s targets will increase because of it.
Suggested Bid: $1,000,000 – $2,000,000
RB Adds
Corey Clement, RB – PHI (Owned 35%)
Week 11: 6 Car/50 yards, 1 TD
Despite Jay Ajayi coming over and stealing the show the last two games, Corey Clement has had a sneaky good couple of games (101 rushing yards, 15 receiving yards, 3 TDs). The game plan for what the Eagles want to do this season with their running back usage hasn’t changed just the personnel. Corey Clement is playing as an excellent complement to Ajayi and Blount’s between the tackles running style and is filling in for Darren Sproles perfectly. Actually, he may be even better than what Sproles could bring to this offense as he has seen several carries inside the red zone. By having Clement in the backfield it keeps defenses honest to the pass more so than with Ajayi or Blount. This also allows for him to have a better chance of scoring when he does get draws and delays around the goal line. While he might not have the same cred as Ajayi in the community right now Clement is a player you would be comfortable having on your bench and starting in a flex spot if needed. The Eagles are an offense that can support two fantasy RBs.
Suggested Bid: $1,000,000 – $2,000,000
J.D. McKissic, RB – SEA (Owned 31%)
Week 11: 7 Car/30 yards, 5 Rec/23 yards
I said it last week but since his ownership hasn’t reached 50-50 yet I’m going back for Thanksgiving seconds to say if you need RB help and free agency is looking dry go get J.D. McKissic. There was a lot of Twitter chatter about Mike Davis on Monday Night but he only averaged 3 yards on 6 carries and may be lost to an injury already. McKissic and Fat Eddie [Lacy] are the only two healthy RBs left so McKissic should see a majority of the snaps for the remainder of the season. He’s not a safe play each week but for PPR leagues he does have the potential to break a long play with his speed.
Suggested Bid: $1,000,000
WR Add
T.J. Jones, WR – DET (Owned 8%)
Week 11: 4 Rec/55 yards
I watched the games this week with a couple of friends and one of them kept asking where Golden Tate was every time the Lions came on RedZone. Looking at the stats afterward Tate finished third in targets behind both Marvin and T.J. Jones. This isn’t much of a surprise to me as I predicted in week 9 that T.J. could see more targets and play time based on his recent successes and with Tate and Kenny Golladay nursing injuries. The Lions are a passing offense that relies on their 3WR sets. T.J. Jones will continue to see a steady amount of targets and is necessary depth to have this late in the season.
Suggested Bid: $1,000,000
Sleeper Add (<10%)
Tavarres King, WR – NYG (Owned 4%)
Week 11: 3 Rec/48 yards
The Giants are a mess this year but they did beat the Chiefs in a shocking upset so let’s talk about them. After both Odell Beckham and Brandon Marshall were lost for the season all eyes were on Roger Lewis to be the beneficiary of their absence. Surprisingly though, it has been Tavarres King who has received the most targets since their week 8 bye. The offense would need to produce more scoring opportunities before any receiver becomes fantasy relevant but it looks like King may be the primary receiver until Shepard returns from his migraines.
Suggested Bid: $500,000
