Quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater
Carolina Panthers
Last week Teddy Bridgewater looked like how he did when he was leading the Vikings to the playoffs. He had his best game since the 2017 NFL season right before he suffered a career threatening knee injury. Bridgewater has completed at least 70% of his passes in three straight games this season. Teddy Bridgewater had 276 passing yards with 2 passing touchdowns and also added a rushing touchdown vs the Arizona Cardinals last week. That was 26.24 fantasy points and was good for the 3rd best fantasy QB finish this week. Teddy Bridgewater is owned in 16.7% of fantasy leagues.
Running back
Joshua Kelly
Los Angeles Chargers
Joshua Kelly may be in store for an increase in carriers in the foreseeable future for the Chargers. The reason is RB Austin Ekeler went down with a severe hamstring injuries that will knock his out for several weeks. This past week after Ekeler left the game injured Kelly was in the backfield on 58% of the snaps. Joshua Kelly had 7 rushing yards and 3 receptions for 36 yards vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. That was 4.30 fantasy points and was the 43rd best fantasy RB finish this week. Joshua Kelly is owned in 30.3% of fantasy leagues.
Wide receiver
Tim Patrick
Denver Broncos
Last week with all the injuries to the Broncos pass catchers it seemed like it was going to be Jerry Judy who stepped up but it turns out it was Tim Patrick. This could be the start of a good stretch of play from Patrick as starting QB Drew Lock is going to be returning from injury soon. Tim Patrick had 6 receptions for 113 yards and one touchdown vs the New York Jets. That was 23.30 fantasy points last week and was the 7th best fantasy WR finish this week. Tim Patrick is owned in 0.3% of fantasy leagues.
Tight end
Richard Rodgers
Philadelphia Eagles
Last week the Eagles lost TE Dallas Goedert to injury but it looked like versus the 49ers they did not miss him. The reason is it looks like they used Richard Rodgers in the same role as they use Dallas Goedert in. Richard Rodgers had 3 receptions for 35 yards vs the San Francisco 49ers last week. That was 6.50 fantasy points and was the 23rd best TE finish this week. Richard Rodgers is owned in 0.0% of fantasy leagues.
