With the NFL trade deadline behind us and fantasy trade deadlines looming as we try to make it to the playoffs in our fantasy leagues, there’s a lot to cover. However, we have to get this FLEX thing right first. Last week players in this column like Khalil Shakir (WR35) did OK, but not great, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR1), Courtland Sutton (WR6) and Cedric Tillman (WR12) really showed up and had big days. Jalen Tolbert was only WR37 despite scoring a touchdown and Tyler Allgeier (RB36) was serviceable. Who’s it going to be this week?
Josh Downs, WR, Colts vs. Bills
In Week 9, the Colts’ offense looked worse than any other game this season with new starting quarterback Joe Flacco, but that doesn’t matter for Downs in fantasy. He has what the fantasy folks call a “solid floor.” Downs’ numbers in Flacco’s three starts are very similar:
Week 5, 9-69-0 on 12 targets
Week 6, 7-66-1 on nine targets
Week 9, 6-60-0 on nine targets
On a team loaded with uncertainty, one thing fantasy managers can count on is Downs get 60 receiving yards with Flacco. He may not have the upside (4-109-1) like he had with Anthony Richardson in Week 8, but a steady double-digit fantasy outing from Downs is solid. The Over/Under in this matchup is also decently high (46.5) for a Colts’ offense that mustered up only six points in Week 9. Downs is a nice play for sure.
Tank Dell, WR, Texans vs. Lions
As of the writing of this article, it is not yet known whether or not Nico Collins will make his return in Week 10. For me, it doesn’t matter if he plays or not, Dell should be in lineups this week against the Lions. Dell is coming off his best overall game of the season where he finished as WR14 (6-126-1). Against a stingy Lions’ run defense, Dell will be a major factor on Sunday Night Football where the Over/Under is 49. The Lions are a machine on offense right now and what better time for the Texans to get their groove back. The Texans’ offense will need all hands on deck and another…
