🏋️ Strength of Schedule

Looking ahead for which players have the easiest or most difficult matchups?

Ian Hartitz posted the below charts in a Twitter thread that breaks down the schedules for every position over the next five weeks based on their opponent's fantasy PPR points per game allowed.

📝 FF Market: Buy / Sell / Hold

Week 1: BUY Zach Charbonnet, SELL Aaron Jones, HOLD Jaylen Waddle
Week 2: BUY Brian Thomas Jr., SELL James Cook, HOLD AJ Brown & DeVonta Smith
Week 3: BUY Jaylen Warren, SELL David Montgomery, HOLD Derrick Henry
Week 4: BUY Tetairoa McMillan, SELL Alvin Kamara, HOLD Jake Ferguson
Week 5: No buy/sell/hold given

Brock Bowers: BUY
Brock Bowers hasn’t scored double-digit fantasy points since his Week 1 injury. And now fantasy teams are likely to have him on the bench the next two weeks, with another week of rest and their bye. A healthy Brock Bowers still projects as the overall TE1 and if you can find a team owner that has grown too frustrated with Bowers or cannot survive two more weeks of missing him, now is the time to strike and set yourself up for the playoffs.

Hollywood Brown: SELL
Brown is coming off 3 TDs in his last two games as the Chiefs passing offense has been clicking. But with Rashee Rice returning in Week 7, Hollywood Brown is likely to take a back seat in snaps and targets. So long as Rice and Worthy are healthy, Brown will likely be a bench player no different than other WRs on the waiver wire. Take this chance to get whatever you can.

Rico Dowdle: HOLD
This move is obviously price dependent because if someone is willing to buy Dowdle for an RB1 price, take it. But I wouldn’t be trying to offload him under the idea he’ll completely lose his job to Chuba. This HOLD is based off two factors: 1) in game Chuba is not playing, Rico has the ability to finish as the overall RB1 on the week and 2) we don’t know how Carolina will play it going forward. There are scenarios in which Hubbard’s injury is worse than expected / gets reinjured or that Carolina splits the workload but over time, Dowdle works his way into the lead back role. Or even scenarios where the Panthers trade Hubbard away. He’s likely too expensive to buy after the last two games but knowing his potential in this offense, I wouldn’t be selling for anything less than top dollar.

📊 Poll of the Day

Yesterday’s poll: Which of the following WRs most increases their fantasy value by being traded to the Steelers?

Calvin Ridley and DJ Moore would both likely benefit from a change of scenery but going to Pittsburgh would drastically cap their potential. But I definitely get it as neither are being utilized to their potential in their current home. I think I’d vote Christian Kirk though as he’d be a great fit for the more underneath WR that can play both outside and the slot. and I wouldn’t be shocked if he ended up leading the team in targets in the games he’s there.
