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) Green Bay (GB) - 36% owned – The Packers have a Sunday night matchup against a Bears offense giving up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Andy Dalton is coming off a 4 interception performance so look for some turnovers in this one assuming he will continue to be the starter while Justin Fields is injured.
4) Tyler Conklin (MIN) - 30% owned – Conklin operated as the number 2 receiving option for the Vikings after Adam Theilen went down with an ankle injury. Look for him to continue to get a high target share for the next 2-3 weeks.
3) D’Onta Foreman (TEN) - 41% owned – The Titans look to split carries between D’Onta Foreman and Dontre Hilliard going forward. Both backs should get double digit touches in a prime matchup against the Jaguars but I give Foreman the slight edge.
2) Marquez Valdes-Scantling (GB) - 20% owned – MVS now has 19 targets over his last 2 games catching 8 for 173 and a touchdown. Aaron Rodgers is giving him a lot of deep ball opportunities giving him high upside.
1) Russell Gage (ATL) - 35% owned – Gage has been the clear number 1 receiving option for the Falcons over the recent few weeks with Calvin Ridley continuing to be away from the team. This should translate into a strong volume of targets since Atlanta throws the ball at the 8th highest clip of all teams.
