It's the end of another exciting week of football which means it's time to put your claims in for available free agents in your fantasy league to strengthen your team. I'll be going over who I think are the top five picks for you to target this week so don't miss out on them. Good luck!
Note: %owned is based on Yahoo! leagues at the time of publication.
5) Chicago Bears (CHI) - 24% owned – The Bears get a Thanksgiving matchup against the winless Lions and backup quarterback Tim Boyle. Boyle looked pretty lackluster in his first start throwing for only 77 yards while tossing a pair of interceptions. Look for the Bears defense to put up a solid performance.
4) Van Jefferson (LAR) - 46% owned – Jefferson was second in targets in the Rams last game despite the additional of Odell Beckham. Look for him to continue to be a solid bye week WR3 fill in for the next few weeks against the Packers, Jaguars and Cardinals.
3) Marquez Valdes-Scantling (GB) - 9% owned – Valdes-Scantling is coming off his biggest game of the season catching 4 of 10 targets for 123 yards and a touchdown. If he continues to get a high target share in the Packers offense he easily becomes a boom or bust WR3 play each week.
2) Darnell Mooney (CHI) - 56% owned – Mooney had an impressive game in week 11 catching 5 of 16 for 121 yards and a touchdown. There is a chance Allen Robinson misses the Thanksgiving matchup against the Lions given the short week putting Mooney in a spot for another big performance.
1) Ty Johnson (NYJ) - 21% owned – Michael Carter is expected to miss 2 to 3 weeks with an ankle injury opening the door for more touches for Ty Johnson. Johnson should get all the work on passing downs as well which is ideal for a Jets team likely to be playing from behind.
