Brian Hartline put up 31 fantasy points and he wasn't even on anybody's team
Tannehill has found a friend, and you need to put in a claim on the waiver wire immediately. Hartline has adequate speed, is a good route runner and a possession receiver. More important for my upcoming comparison, he's white, just like last year's sleeper, Jordy Nelson. So let's call him this year's white wideout sleeper and see what happens. Think im focusing on the wrong aspect of him as a player? Probably! Just go with it, and don't be offended. And remember, white guys are on the same waiver wire as everybody else, so make sure you put in a claim for Hartline first and foremost.
Start The Red Rifle
Andy Dalton was a late-round pick for many, but he has scored more points than Aaron Rodgers, Michael Vick, Matt Stafford and Eli Manning. More importantly, he's been consistent ever since Week 2, throwing for 8 TDs against 3 INTs over the last 3 games. Being that he was a late-round pick, it's very likely his fantasy owner's have a higher-touted QB on their roster. It's time to have enough faith to start Dalton every week, red hair and all. His next 3 games have him going up against Miami, Cleveland, and a Pittsburgh team that hasn't done much to stop the pass.
Battle's the man in San Diego
Who saw that coming? Me. I did. I did until I was convinced that starting Battle last Sunday was a ridiculous move (when people yell fantasy advice at you at tailgates it can often be very convincing. Also, beer was involved.) I dropped Battle and his eventual 19 fantasy points, started somebody who scored 0 points instead (I don't want to talk about it,) and am now waiting to see if Battle will fall to me on the waiver wire.
If one thing is clear in San Diego it's that Ryan Mathews will always be kind of injured. The amazing part is his injuries always vary. He's seen injuries to his collarbone, leg, foot, and upper right forearm (probably.) This past week, he took a backseat to Battle for no apparent reason. The Chargers' next game is against the Saints, the worst team against the run in the NFL, which is saying a lot, because I was at that Jets 49ers game, and that's something else I'd rather not talk about. Sundays can be difficult.
