Hail Mary: Week 1

Hail Mary is a play that most people won't even attempt. It is one of those last resort efforts to win. With this article, we would like to point out 4 players in which we expect to be x-factor players. Players that can do great any given week even if its just because of one play. These players are also each started in under 15% of leagues according to NFL.com. Here are the four big time players that could could make a difference maker in your lineup this week:

RBs:

James Conner:

Start Percentage: 10.8%

Matchup: Cleveland Browns

Analysis: One of the hottest names of the past fantasy week has been James Conner. He is in line to start in place of Le’Veon Bell this week for the Steelers. His preseason performance has shown improvement from last year. Given how successful Gelo was coming in for Bell in the past, Conner should be started in most standard leagues this week.

Jordan Wilkins:

Start Percentage: 0.2%

Matchup: Cincinnati Bengals

Analysis: Wilkins will get the start this Sunday with Mack dealing with a hamstring injury. He may still be in a committee with Hynes and Michael, but he is the most talented of the three. All reports have said that he will be the lead man if Mack can't play. Look for him to top 100 yards this weekend.

WRs:

John Ross:

Start Percentage: 0.9%

Matchup: Indianapolis Colts

Analysis: John Ross is going up against one of the worst defenses in the NFL this week in the Colts. Although Ross should not be relied upon every week, he is a good bet to score a long TD this week. He has the speed to take the top off of any defense and look at Ross if you want a big risk, big reward play at WR.

Kenny Stills

Start Percentage: 2.1%

Matchup: Tennessee Titans

Analysis: Kenny Stills could be a big part of the Miami offense this season. With Parker unlikely to suit up, Stills and Wilson will be the primary outside receivers. Stills and Tannehill already have a strong chemistry and his speed will allow him to break off big plays. He is a great spot start in any deep leagues.
