Quarterbacks

Taysom Hill - FD 10500 DK 10300
People say the only two things guaranteed in life are death and taxes. I say the only two things guaranteed in fantasy land are Taysom and Hill. Taysom runs over and around defenses with consistency most only dream about. Hill passes with efficiency and just enough to keep defenses honest. This guy is the best thing since the invention of Yoga pants. Super duper safe with an unbelievably high ceiling. Few defenses have what it takes to stop him and Houston is no different. He should be a fairly heavy start and I don't recommend going against the grain too much. Hill absolutely crushed it last year at Houston. Now they play on his home turf.

Running Backs

Kareem Hunt - FD 9000 DK 9900
Hunt is a potential NFL talent as evidenced by his three TD performance against Mizzu last week. Toledo has a history of using their tailback as a fantasy god and it looks like Kareem has the talent to maximize the opportunities. Averaging 10YPC against Mizzu typically doesnt happen by accident. On the road for the first time and a short week are two things going against Hunt. You don't want to be the third. HIs price is high and I wouldn't blame you to look else where, but he's the closest to a sure thing. On a short night it may make sense to pony up for the "expected" stat line.

Hosey Williams - FD 4900 DK 4800
This is Cincinnati's first game so its hard to get any kind of read how their offense will look in 2014. Williams is the starter (returning) and at this price its hard to pass on the volume with such a short night. The Bearcats return multiple starters on offense so they should be ready to roll in their home opener. He may not be the best back on the board, but Williams represents strong value and frees up $$$ to be allocated else where.

Wide Receivers

KD Cannon - FD 7500 DK 6400
Are you serious? Week one I mentioned how quickly the college landscape can change and guys seemingly come out of nowhere. KD please stand up. Baylor has been decimated by injuries to their wide receiving corp. with Goodley, Coleman, and Norwood all sidelined. In steps a speedy true freshman named KD Cannon. He was a 4-Star recruit and considered the best WR prospect from the state of Texas. Last week he tied a Baylor record with 3 TD's in a game. Beef this - He did it in the first quarter!!! - All 3 WR's are expected to be out again. Even if the end result is off, KD is the BEST play at WR.

Sterling Griffin - FD 4800
Griffin is La Tech's WR1 and since North Texas will likely focus on stud tailback, Kenneth Dixon, it should allow for some 1v1 matchups on the outside for Griffin. I don't really expect this game to have many fireworks, but Griffin should see the most targets of any WR in the game. In order to pay for the big boys you need some cheap options. Sterling makes a solid value play.

Consider: Shaq Washington & Chris Moore

Tight Ends

DJ Dowdy - FD 3100 DK 3100
For those of you who do not know, I am a passionate Philadelphia Eagles fan. Brent Celek plays TE for the Eagles and has produced some nice moments for the team. Celek went to Cincinnati. DJ Dowdy currently starts at TE for Cincinnati. So in honor of Brent Celek, DJ Dowdy is my TE play for the night. If you know a better way I'm all ears.
