With six teams on bye, a lot of the top options we usually go to on DraftKings, like DeAndre Hopkins,
|
It's officially Bye-Nado.
With six teams on bye, which, obviously, shrinks the slate; but with so many teams having their week off, it diminishes the talent pool.
The teams that are on bye:
- Denver
- New England
- Philadelphia
- Washington
- Jacksonville
- Houston
Obviously, Washington, and even Denver to an extent, are outliers on this list. The other four, however, have fantasy-viable players up and down their roster.
- New England: Tom Brady, James White, Sony Michel, Julian Edelman, Mohammed Sanu and Pats DST
- Philadelphia: Carson Wentz, Jordan Howard, Alshon Jeffery, Zach Ertz
- Houston: Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins
- Jacksonville: Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark
There are some fantasy heavy-hitters in that list above. But the more important factor is, most of the six teams on bye generally garner somewhat high game totals. Outside of the Broncos, these teams usually find themselves in game totals in the mid-40s.
So we're looking at a diminished pool of at least 15 players and a lack of teams with objectively "good" implied game totals.
This is what we're looking at for Week 10.
