Lawrence has no one’s idea of ​​the stable QB1, but he has been much more consistent in the last three weeks than in weeks 1-3: The Rookie’s 58.3 fantasy points placed 14th in weeks 4-6.

Lawrence gets hot, and that’s a big positive with the bottom pair Seattle defense on deck – Seahawks has allowed the eighth highest passer rating (112.0) and the sixth highest EPA rating per game (0.064).

Smith has driven only 22 routes since week 5, registered a an awful 23.7% of the routes pass per dropback. There is not enough use here TE1 paint, but Smith still pulled two of his five goals 52 yards this week.

CJ Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals | 19% listed

The Jets have been worthy of the defense as a whole, but they have allowed 28.6% of feeds to tight ends are explosive feeds over 15 yards. It is the fourth highest value in defense. They also rank worse than average in the EPA per game (0.215) against tight ends. Uzomah is worth investing in a productive series.
