Effective Strategies

1. Target High-Scoring Matchups:

Games with projected high point totals (over 50 points) often provide good opportunities for fantasy points. Look for games like Chiefs-Broncos or Bengals-49ers.

2. Play Defense against Weak Offenses:

Starting defenses against teams that struggle to score can be a smart move. This week, consider the Browns, Texans, and Vikings defenses.

3. Consider Flex Players with High Upside:

For your flex position, look for players who have the potential for significant production. Consider players like Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, or Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

4. Monitor Injury Reports:

Stay updated on injury reports as they can impact your decisions. Key injuries to watch this week include Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson and Browns running back Nick Chubb.
