Quarterback: Not the strongest week for QBs. However, if you need a streaming option, I reccomend picking up Marcus Mariota. His floor is higher due to his rushing ability. If Deshaun Watson is sitting around your waiver wire, this could be your last shot at getting him. Joe Flacco may get another shot in New York as well.
Running Back: Latavius Murray is the clear-cut number 1 pickup this week. Drop some serious FAAB if you can. Elijah Mitchell is getting a good amount of touches in San Francisco, and should be picked up if available. Cam Akers is getting more touches every week as well. He could be helpful down the stretch.
Wide Receiver: Treylon Burks is back and looks good. He's the clear number 1 WR pickup this week. Donovan Peoples-Jones and Darius Slayton keep producing, yet they are still widely available. Terrace Marshall should be snatched up if available. Picking up DeMarcus Robinson is a good idea. You're not chasing points.. he should be the number 1 WR in Baltimore the rest if this season.
Tight End: This position is such a toss up. Foster Moreau looked good and Hayden Hurst has good upside. Those are two good grabs. New Orleans looks like they are finding ways to get Taysom Hill the ball, so he'd be a smart pickup this week as well.
