Underdog Opportunities
The Broncos average 3.4 yards per carry and have thrown for just 230 yards over their past two games. Arizona could still come out on top in a contest expected to be decided by a field goal. Kansas City has the defense to keep Seattle close, with the Chiefs creating pressure on nearly 39 percent of dropbacks while Sam Darnold has completed only 38 percent of throws under pressure this season.
Projected Stat Lines
Tucker Kraft is projected for 9 targets, 7 receptions, 87 receiving yards and 1 touchdown against a Lions defense that has allowed 27 percent of its targets to opposing tight ends. Ted Hurst III is set for 6 targets, 4 receptions, 79 yards and 1 touchdown versus the Panthers. Zach Allen is forecast to record 2.0 sacks, 7 pressures and a 25 percent pass rush win rate against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Sleepers and Touchdown Calls
Keenan Allen has averaged 9.6 targets and 14.7 fantasy points over the past three games. Tanner McKee threw for 215 yards and a touchdown last week and now faces a defense that has allowed 21.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Amon-Ra St. Brown is expected to score at Lambeau Field after averaging 11.4 targets per game. Germie Bernard has caught 17 of 21 targets over the past two games and could reach the end zone against the Saints. Kyler Murray could add a rushing score against the Colts, who have allowed six rushing touchdowns this season.
Other Forecasts
Trey Hendrickson is positioned for a strong showing against his former team. The Vikings could produce an offensive explosion with all pass catchers healthy. The entire NFC North could hold winning records by Monday morning if the Seahawks lose and the Lions win. The Jets are viewed as capable of a decisive victory over the Dolphins.
