Welcome back you Degenerates, I know y’all missed me last week! It was a wild week for me so I apologize for the lack of an article. It was better off that I didn’t since I didn’t have Tyreek Hill in my lineups, so my highest scoring lineup with 161 points, hardly won me any money. We are back and better than ever this week with some solid plays during what I think is the strangest slate to date. All week I have been struggling to find games that I actually want to watch. I’m sure that the games will be electrifying as always, but on paper, the games this week seem really lame. I haven’t really found any games I want to gamble on yet, but I know I can always find players for DFS so let's get down and dirty to win some money! Also, RIP to anyone who didn’t make their fantasy playoffs, sucks to suck!
James Robinson- $7300
Two things that are true about Jacksonville. First off, they really stink. Secondly, the offense runs through James Robinson. They run the ball with him, they throw the ball to him, if he could pass the ball he probably would be playing QB over Mike Glennan. The undrafted phenom is 3rd in the NFL in rushing yards with 890 yards as he has stepped into that role Fournette left behind without missing a beat. The Vikings aren’t a top tier defense, but they have been mediocre against the run this year allowing 120 yards per game which is good for 19th in the NFL. His price is much better than Cooks, with close to the same upside. Photo: USA Today
Austin Ekeler- $7100
My old fling, my former keeper, the man who made my fantasy team what it is today is back and healthy for the Chargers. Last week in his debut, he didn’t miss a beat from his pre-injury workload. No snap count, just pedal to the metal scat back action. He finished Week 12 with 11 receptions for 85 yards, as if he was playing all year. The pass catching upside alone should be enough for you to throw him in your lineups. Add the fact that the Patriots Defense stinks, it should make for a big game for Ekeler. Photo: USA Today
Dalvin Cook-$9500
A stud running back, a bottom 5 rushing defense in Jacksonville, sounds like sweet, sweet fantasy points. Add in the fact that the Vikings need to win the game to keep their playoff hopes alive sounds like a match made in heaven. The price point is very high, but if you think you can find value elsewhere, he may be your go to guy. Jacksonville has let up an average of 136.2 yards per game on the ground, and allowing 19.5 fantasy points to running backs per game. If you can afford him, lock him in.
David Montgomery-$5500
I am a Montgomery hater, but once again I find myself at a crossroads. He had an impressive game against the weak Packers run defense. He has another soft matchup, maybe the softest in the Detroit Lions. I will be wary about this pick however, the gambler in me sees this a “Fuck you Matt Patricia” game. If the Lions are ahead Montgomery becomes useless. Tread wisely my friends. Photo: Getty Images
Jamison Crowder- $5100
The only competent player that plays on the Jets. Raiders defense is suspect, especially against the pass, allowing 265 passing yards per game which ranks 27th in the NFL. The Jets pepper that Clam Crowder with targets week in and week out so for the price of admission, I’d watch this movie.
Keke Coutee- $3500
Keke Coutee, aka the best name in the NFL. This guy has all the potential in the world, but got lost in the depth chart this year after dealing with injury at the beginning of the season. Last season Keke had his breakout game vs the Colts, where he had 109 yards. When they faced off again in the playoffs, Coutee had 110 yards. It is safe to say he has their number. For the price of some Converses on the clearance rack, it is worth the shot.

Devante Adams- $9000
Has there been a better wide receiver this year than Devante Adams on a per game basis? Nope. He had a hold of the number one spot as the WR1 until Tyreek decided to score 59 fantasy points last week. Adams is averaging 25.4 fantasy points per game, which is 2 more than any other receiver. I will be stacking Adams with Rodgers often this week.
Devante Parker- $6400
If FitzMagic stays in as the QB (which he deserves to), Devante Parker is a must play most weeks. Fitz lets the ball fly with no fear of any throw, defense, wind factor, the man simply has nothing to lose. Parker was his favorite target before Tua decided to stink up the field. This play depends on the QB situation in Miami.
Evan Engram- $4900
Since we are already playing players I despise, Evan Engram would only naturally be in my lineup. The only player we are missing would be Anthony Miller, but I will refuse to do that, unless I can't avoid it (sorry Alex). Anyway, Evan Engram has been getting the targets you wanted to see all year long, and last week he finally had that big game. This week the Giants face that Silly Seahawks Secondary, which we have attacked week after week.

QB is kind of a mystery for me this week. On one hand, Mitch Trubisky aka Mitch the Bitch absolutely owns the Lions, but as we said before, its hard to bet against the Lions this week after firing Matt Patricia. Aaron Rodgers will be in many of my lineups this week, along with FitzMagic if he plays for the Fins.
Some Players I will be rotating in: Darnell Mooney(if healthy), Anthony Miller if there is no other receiver on the team, Cooper Kupp, AJ Brown, Adam Theilen, Justin Jefferson, Nick Chubb, Latavius Murray, Miles Sanders, Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Anthony Firkser.
