Hail Mary: Week 6


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 it’s 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:

Ronald Jones II:

Start Percentage: 8.2%

Matchup: Atlanta Falcons

Analysis: Ronald Jones has been a major disappointment thus far this season. He has only been active for one game and even that game he was active, he got less than three points. Granted, that was against the Bears’ defense who has given up the fewest points to fantasy RBs all season. With a much safer matchup against the Falcons this week and more opportunities, expect Rojo to have a coming out game and top 70 yards for the first time in his NFL career.

Duke Johnson:

Start Percentage: 6.8%

Matchup: Los Angeles Chargers

Analysis: Another RB who has had a very disappointing start to the season, Duke Johnson is someone who has done well when given the opportunity. He is getting paid a lot of money for someone who the Browns are barely using. After a productive day last week, Johnson expressed displeasure with his workload and requested more touches. If his demands are met, Johnson could top 50 yards and a receiving TD.

WRs:

Quincy Enunwa:

Start Percentage: 4.6%

Matchup: Indianapolis Colts

Analysis: Quincy Enunwa who has proven throughout the year he is the top receiver for the Jets put up an absolute dud last week. He was unable to snag any of his five targets. Despite that dud, he still has the best rapport with Sam Darnold and he should be a great bounce back candidate against a Colts’ defense who has struggled. Expect over 100 yards for Enunwa this week.

Chester Rogers:

Start Percentage: 0.2%

Matchup: New York Jets

Analysis: For the second week in a row, T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle are out for the Colts. That leaves Andrew Luck with very few trusted receiving options. He was targeted 11 times last week and he should be the second option for Luck behind Eric Ebron. In addition to added opportunity, the Jets allow 8th most fantasy points to WRs. If he can continue to build on his performance last week, he could be in line for 50 plus yards and a touchdown.
