This week’s fantasy football projections highlight key matchups that can make or break your lineup. We’re breaking down the top picks and potential sleepers in various positions.
For the quarterbacks, Lamar Jackson faces a tough test against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have held him to just 13.7 fantasy points over his five career starts. In contrast, Jalen Hurts had success against Pittsburgh last weekend, but that’s an outlier.
Running back Saquon Barkley is a top option this week, especially since he has a favorable matchup against the Ravens, who have struggled to contain opposing running backs.
Tight end Jonnu Smith has been a consistent performer for the Jets and can continue his hot streak against the Raiders. On the other side of the field, Zach LaPorta faces a tough test against the Bears, who have held him in check previously.
WR1: DK Metcalf is poised to deliver a vintage performance against the Vikings, who have struggled to contain deep passes. WR2: Travis Kelce has been a reliable option this season and can continue his hot streak against the Ravens.
RB2: Saquon Barkley is a top option this week, especially since he has a favorable matchup against the Ravens. RB3: Braelon Allen is a low-end RB2 who could emerge as a fantasy sleeper.
TE1: Jonnu Smith has been a consistent performer for the Jets and can continue his hot streak against the Raiders. TE2: Zach LaPorta faces a tough test against the Bears, but he’s still a reliable option if he can get a touchdown.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson faces a tough test against the Steelers, while Jalen Hurts had success against Pittsburgh last weekend. Saquon Barkley is a top option this week, especially since he has a favorable matchup against the Ravens. Jonnu Smith and Zach LaPorta also have promising matchups.
