Best NFL Plays of the Week: Expect a Big Game from Tyreek Hill

The Todd Monken tenure as offensive coordinator begins this week and with it, I expect to see an up-tempo Ravens offense and an inspired Lamar Jackson leading it. Vegas believes that Jackson will have somewhere around 215 yards passing, and 55 rushing yards and I think those numbers are reasonable. If he adds a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown to those numbers, it would make him a 20+ fantasy point player.

Running Back 

Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons

Every so often, there is a player who is a transcendent talent, one who is so good that fantasy managers deem him as the “must-have” player. Bijan Robinson is that talent. He’s playing in a run-first offense with a solid OL. I can see there being a lot of three-and-outs for Carolina’s offense giving Bijan more touches throughout the game to pile on the points.

Wide Receiver

Tyreek Hill, Miami Dolphins

Miami has the most condensed group of wide receivers in the league in Hill and Waddle. There’s a good chance that Hill catches at least 30% of Tua’s passes. Hill said that he wanted to chase the elusive 2,000 receiving yards this season; I can see him getting about 150 yards in this game.

Tight End

Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints

Johnson was extremely TD-dependent last year but let’s not forget that Darren Waller had some of his best seasons with Derek Carr at QB. If Carr takes a liking to Johnson, there is a pathway for Johnson to have a breakout season.
