Denver Broncos - RBBC? Who Cares
Quarterback: Case Keenum (100%)
Running Backs: Phillip Lindsay (42%), Royce Freeman (36%), Devontae Booker (22%)
Wide Receivers: DaeSean Hamilton (80%), Courtland Sutton (69%), Emmanuel Sanders (68%), Tim Patrick (36%)
Tight Ends: Matt LaCosse (80%), Brian Parker (17%)
If you looked at the split in snaps in the Denver Broncos backfield, you'd think that it was a relatively evenly distributed workload. Nope. This is Phillip Lindsay's team, and he put an exclamation mark on that with a 65-yard touchdown this week.
Kansas City Chiefs - No Worse for Ware
Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes (100%)
Running Backs: Spencer Ware (69%)
Wide Receivers: Chris Conley (92%), Tyreek Hill (89%), Demarcus Robinson (59%), Gehrig Dieter (10%)
Tight End: Travis Kelce (97%), Demetrius Harris (44%)
Some may have concerns about Spencer Ware's touches being taken from one of Darrel Williams or Damien Williams. Just stop. You need to worry about Charcandrick West, and especially not those guys! West knows the offense. He'll fit right in. Ready to worry about your team yet?
Los Angeles Chargers - Ekeler Can Benefit from the Backseat
Quarterback: Philip Rivers (100%)
Running Backs: Austin Ekeler (78%), Justin Jackson (22%)
Wide Receivers: Keenan Allen (91%), Tyrell Williams (79%), Mike Williams (54%), Travis Benjamin (44%)
Tight Ends: Virgil Green (65%), Antonio Gates (38%), Sean Culkin (17%)
Austin Ekeler's start this past week did not go swimmingly. So, if shouldn't worry you too much if Melvin Gordon comes back this week, especially given how well the two work together when on the field. Gordon's presence opens up a lot of room for Ekeler in the passing game that simply wasn't there against the Steelers this past week. He's still a very solid flex option going foward.
Oakland Raiders - Full Nelson
Quarterback: Derek Carr (100%)
Running Backs: Doug Martin (53%), Jalen Richard (42%)
Wide Receivers: Jordy Nelson (91%), Marcell Ateman (82%), Seth Roberts (78%)
Tight Ends: Jared Cook (72%), Lee Smith (22%), Derek Carrier (18%)
Could Jordy Nelson finish strong in an otherwise abysmal season? Absolutely. The Raiders lack options at nearly every position other than tight end, and Nelson clearly still has the skills to shine when utilized properly. A Week 15 (fantasy semifinal) game against the horrific Bengals on tap, Nelson could help you get into the championship game.
