Leonard Hankerson has a exceptional profile with a catch... he can't catch. Melvin Gordon amazingly has more than 200 touches without a touchdown. Kirk Cousins is Aaron Rodgers at home.  Ryan Fitzpatrick is on a roll.  Tim Hightower is an incredible value getting 30 touches per game.  Denard Robinson has league-winning upside.  Time to get real -- Doug Baldwin is a top-5 wide receiver.  Dontrelle Inman should exceed 10 fantasy points per week as San Diego's defacto No. 1 wide receiver.  Depth charts and roster construction tools provided by FootballDiehards.com Advanced metrics provided by PlayerProfiler.com

Fitzpatrick will face a Titans defense in week 14 that is without its best CB Jason McCourty and just allowed Bortles to throw for 300-plus and 5 touchdowns.   Austin Seferian-Jenkins absorbed 6 tgts on only 21 total snaps.  That is a

Davante Adams has never not been bad. It's sports. It's okay to root for players you don't like to fail. David Johnson is near the top of the league in size-adjusted athleticism, plays for one of the league's most efficient offenses, and projects to absorb the majority of high leverage touches in a true workhorse role.   David Johnson's ceiling is the NO. 1 RUNNING BACK IN FANTASY for the rest of the season.  Ignore Seattle wide receivers, because the Seahawks are a run-first team, and their schedule suggests few if any upcoming shootouts.   Depth charts and roster construction tools provided by FootballDiehards.com Advanced metrics provided by PlayerProfiler.com
