Quarterback
Gardner Minshew
Jacksonville Jaguars
Minshew Mania is back this season and running wild down in Duval County. This is the week to join in on the mania before it gets going fully. Minshew should continue to put up big passing numbers as the Jags should be trailing in most of their games. Gardner Minshew had 339 passing yards with 3 passing touchdowns vs the Tennessee Titans last week. That was 23.46 fantasy points and was good for the 12th best fantasy QB finish this week. Gardner Minshew is owned in 33% of fantasy leagues.
Running back
Jerick McKinnon
San Francisco 49ers
After missing two season with a knee injury Jerick McKinnon was finally able to return and contribute to the 49ers offense. With Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman suffering knee injuries this could open up the door for McKinnon to have a big roll in the offense. Jerick McKinnon 77 rushing yards and one touchdown vs the New York Jets last week. That was 13.70 fantasy points and was the 22nd best fantasy RB finish this week. Jerick McKinnon is owned in 15.7% of fantasy leagues.
Wide receiver
Russell Gage
Atlanta Falcons
It looks like the targets vacated by the departure of TE Austin Hooper has gone to receiver Russell Gage. Gage also could get even more targets in the offense as Julio Jones looked hobbled throughout the Falcons previous game versus the Dallas Cowboys. Atlanta will also be throwing the ball a lot this season as they are second in pass attempts per game this season. Russell Gage had 6 receptions for 46 yards and one touchdown vs the Atlanta Falcons . That was 16.60 fantasy points last week and was the 21st best fantasy WR finish this week Russell Gage is owned in 18.9 % of fantasy leagues.
Tight end
Dalton Schultz
Dallas Cowboys
This offseason everyone was on the Blake Jarwin bandwagon but with him injuring his knee it may have opened the door for rookie Dalton Schultz. Schultz is playing a role similar to what Jarwin was going to have in the Cowboys offense. He should see plenty of targets as Dak Prescott has always liked to target the TE position in the pass game. Dalton Schultz had 9 receptions for 88 yards and one touchdown vs the Atlanta Falcons last week. That was 21.80 fantasy points and was the 6th best TE finish this week. Dalton Schultz is owned in 0.3% of fantasy leagues.
