We are in the heart of fantasy football season. This is the turning point for many teams and owners, as we have now seen two solid months of football. There are quite a few fantasy football stars that have emerged, but it\u2019s also important to recognize the players that could be duds each week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baker Mayfield (QB) \u2013 Cleveland Browns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s been a tough season for Baker Mayfield. The former No. 1 overall pick has only thrown six touchdowns this year, and he has had some difficulty throwing the ball due to a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. Mayfield didn\u2019t play against Denver last week in order to rest prior to this week\u2019s showdown with Pittsburgh, but the Steelers have had two weeks to prepare for this offense. The run game isn\u2019t as effective with Kareem Hunt injured, and Odell Beckham Jr. is not the difference maker he was in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Khalil Herbert (RB) \u2013 Chicago Bears<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since taking over for the injured David Montgomery, Khalil Herbert has been a bit of a revelation for the Chicago Bears. Herbert has run for 272 yards and is averaging at least 5.0 YPC. He had success running against both Green Bay and Tampa Bay, but he was aided by garbage time in both of those games. San Francisco\u2019s run defense isn\u2019t that great on paper. However, the issues with the 49ers\u2019 offense will prevent Herbert from accruing stats in garbage time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Evans (WR) \u2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Evans is one of the best receivers in the league. However, he has had some issues getting open against Marshon Lattimore when the Buccaneers play the Saints. Lattimore has gotten into his head in the past, and he can bump Evans off his routes with his physicality. Evans\u2019 YAC numbers aren\u2019t great, and Tom Brady can find more success throwing to Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown. That will hurt Evans\u2019 production in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mo Alie-Cox (TE) \u2013 Indianapolis Colts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve rolled the dice with Mo Alie-Cox over the last four weeks, you\u2019ve been happy. He has just 10 receptions, but four of those catches were for touchdowns. That type of luck is definitely going to run out soon, and he has only been targeted 15 times in those four games. Alie-Cox is going to see his targets go down too now that T.Y. Hilton is back in the lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seattle Seahawks (D\/ST)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This Seattle defense is not as strong of a play as you might think against Jacksonville this week. No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence has played much better over the last few weeks, and the Jaguars have had two weeks to prepare for this game. Seattle is on a short week after playing on Monday Night Football, and the secondary is not good. James Robinson is averaging 5.5 YPC and the Seahawks aren\u2019t getting much of a pass rush, so the Jaguars could end up putting 30 points or more on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow our <\/em>Twitter account <\/em><\/a>for the latest sports news and wagering odds, and come to our <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a> for more useful betting info too.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are in the heart of fantasy football season.
