We are past the point in the football season where we can say “it’s only been a few games.” It’s not quite gut check time, but it’s an important part of the season as we all need to start positioning ourselves for the fantasy playoffs (sorry to the 1-7 or 0-8 teams).
Darnell Mooney (WR10), Kareem Hunt (RB23) and Tank Dell (WR32) were all featured in last week’s column and they all found the end zone to help out our fantasy squads. Najee Harris (RB15) put up a solid performance and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was decent with 13.9 PPR fantasy points. However, Jaylen Waddle and Tyler Lockett couldn’t quite get it done.

Keon Coleman or Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills vs. Dolphins
Since Amari Cooper was traded to the Bills (and still learning the offense), Coleman and Shakir have both seen at least seven targets in each of the last two games. Also in that short span, Coleman and Shakir are WR12 and WR16 in fantasy points per game, respectively. Coleman is finally coming into his own, having played a team-high 83% of snaps among Bills’ receivers in Week 8, his highest since Week 2. Meanwhile, Shakir saw a season highs in targets (10), receptions (nine) and yards (107) last week. While the Dolphins are one of the better pass defenses in football, they’re coming off a game where they allowed two touchdowns to receivers. As long as Cooper is still getting up to speed, Coleman and Shakir will be solid FLEX plays in a game where the Over/Under is 49.5.
Tyler Allgeier, RB, Falcons vs. Cowboys
It was a rough outing for Allgeier against a tough Bucs’ run defense in Week 8, but the silver lining is that he saw double-digit carries (finished 12-33-0) for the second time in three games. That other game was against the Panthers in Week 6 where he coasted to a 18-105-1 day. This week, he’ll get the opportunity to go up against a Cowboys defense that allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs per…
