Justin Fields has performed well in the last two games, and he has another weapon in Chase Claypool on his team now. It’s not like he’s doing this against weak defenses either. The last two games have been against the Patriots and Cowboys, both on the road. The schedule lightens up over the next month as well, with games against the Dolphins, Lions, Falcons and Jets coming up. Experts think Fields could be a good QB1 fantasy option for the near future.
There wasn’t a super popular name for running back this week, but Isiah Pacheco is one of the most interesting names. The rookie took over the starter role but didn’t have a heavy workload against the 49ers. Coming off the bye week, maybe he will have an increased role in the offense. Experts think it is worth stashing Pacheco on your bench to see how to situation develops. Another running back to keep an eye on is Jeff Wilson Jr. People might have dropped him after the Christian McCaffrey trade, but he was traded to the Dolphins, reuniting with Mike McDaniel. He will battle for time with Raheem Mostert, but could have a significant role as the season goes along.
Josh Palmer is a popular name this week, with Mike Williams and Keenan Allen missing time, he is the next man up. He should see significant targets in the Chargers offense. Kadarius Toney is someone to keep an eye on as well. He was dealt to the Chiefs, and it seems like he is healthy. Toney could be a good fit in the Chiefs’ offense, the talent isn’t a question, it’s a matter of staying on the field.
Once again, Greg Dulcich is the most popular tight end. He probably won’t light the world on fire, but he has taken over the starting tight end role in Denver over the last couple of weeks. If Russell Wilson ever starts to look like his old self, Dulcich could be even more productive than he has been over the last three weeks.
