Every week I will pick and choose certain players that will produce above (feast) or below (famine) our Fantasy Sharks Player Projections. A couple guys every week may be obvious, but some might surprise you.
Feast
Danny Woodhead, RB, San Diego
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 8 Points
Woodhead showed that he can be a viable fantasy option even when Ryan Mathews does well. Look for even bigger things this week against Jacksonville, especially in the passing game.
Alshon Jeffery, WR, Chicago
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 4 Points
Jay Cutler missed Jeffrey on multiple throws last week against the New York Giants. Start him with confidence against Washington, one of the worst defenses in the league. Jeffrey will be fine as long as Cutler is on.
Jerome Simpson, WR, Minnesota
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 3 Points
Although it may not be by much, Josh Freeman is an upgrade over Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder. Simpson has been involved each week while averaging almost eight targets per game.
Coby Fleener, TE, Indianapolis
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 4 Points
Fleener is his own worst enemy. The recent case of stone hands he developed has been annoying, but he has the best opportunity of the season this week against Denver. Tight ends with competent quarterbacks have shredded the Denver defense for years.
Famine
Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 24 Points
Flacco is a below-average quarterback and usually struggles against Pittsburgh. I expect this game to be an old-fashioned slugfest between these teams with Flacco putting up a line around 215 yards with a touchdown and an interception – his average game against Pittsburgh.
Eddie Lacy, RB, Green Bay
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 18 Points
Randall Cobb’s injury will boost Lacy’s fantasy value in the long term, but don’t expect much change this week. Cleveland has the seventh-best rush defense in the league.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota
Fantasy Sharks Projection: 13 Points
Rudolph put up his first solid game of the season because Adrian Peterson had only 10 rushing attempts. Minnesota will have a much more balanced game this week and Rudolph will regress back into the fantasy wasteland.
