The top selection for Washington and 16th overall selection, Jahan Dotson ended up being a “bookender” this season. Like fellow Washington receiver Curtis Samuel, he came out white hot, scoring two touchdowns in the season-opening game. A wonder this year who looks to be the real deal for next season and beyond.

It has been lost in a disastrous season in Houston, but Christian Kirksey has quietly put together his best season in years — he’s 28th in fantasy points among linebackers, and his 119 total tackles are his most in a season since he logged 138 with Cleveland in 2017.

Quarterback play has been suspect for Baltimore to say the least, and Andrews hadn’t scored in double-digits for fantasy for over a month until last week but coming off a nine-catch, 100-yard stat-line hopefully means he’s going to show out for his managers one more time this season.

It’s not an eye-popping matchup for quarterbacks at home against Baltimore, who rank 16th against opposing passers. It is, however, a bit better for Cincinnati's highly targeted and highly talented receivers who face the 21st-rated defense for wide receivers.

The Panthers travel to New Orleans for a divisional matchup against the Saints. Carolina has an advantage in this game, as the Saints are terrible on offense. The Panthers play tough defense and should have no trouble shutting down Andy Dalton and company. Turnovers and sacks should be on the table, giving this unit a strong case for streaming.
