Washington Redskins 3-5 at Minnesota Vikings 1-7
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Alfred Morris
#7 Ranked RB
Morris had another great game last week against San Diego. He rushed for 121 yards and 1 TD and could have had more if the Redskins didn’t give their Full Back the touches in the red zone. Minnesota gives up the 4th most fantasy points to RBs so this should be another great week for Morris. Do not jump on the Darrell Young boat because he scored 3 TDs. The Redskins didn’t use him before last week.
Pierre Garcon
#9 Ranked WR
Garcon gave your fantasy team 17.20 points last week with out a TD. What a stud. Going up against a team that has yet to prove themselves defensively, we expect Garcon to have another great week for your fantasy team. He might not like the way his QB’s throwing but Garcon has proved that he can catch almost anything.
Jordan Reed
#4 Ranked TE
You might be upset with the numbers Reed put up last week, but this week against Minnesota should be much better. RG3 used him a lot in the beginning of the game but forgot about him until Reed all of a sudden rushed the ball for 18 yards. Minnesota gives up the 5th most fantasy points to TEs. Reed is one of the best TEs in the league and is a must start.
Gut Calls
Robert Griffin III
#10 Ranked QB
RG3 passed for 291 yards, no TDs, and 1 INT last week against San Diego. Some may say he is a must start going up against Minnesota, but we are not so convinced. If you are in a deep league you might have no choice but to play him. Last week he got you 11.34 points against an equally bad defense against QBs, RG3 is anything but consistent so play with caution.
Bench Warmers
Everyone else is on the bench this week. Until RG3 starts throwing the ball consistently, all other WRs are too risky to play even against Minnesota. No one knows who is going to get the ball in the running game other then Morris, so I wouldn’t take a chance on Helu or Young.
