Fantasy football strategy, rankings, and podcasts

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!

5) Dallas Cowboys DEF (DAL) - 7% owned - The Cowboys defense has a great situation this week coming off a bye and playing against a rookie quarterback in C.J. Beathard.

4) Darren McFadden (DAL) - 52% owned - A speculative grab assuming Elliott's suspension will stand for weeks 7 through 12 and also assuming McFadden would be the lead back over Alfred Morris in that situation (which I do). The reward feels worth the risk if you have the bench space to spare.

3) Nelson Agholor (PHI) - 55% owned - Agholor finally looks to be a key component of the Eagles offense in his third season as he almost has hit his yardage for all of the last season and has double the touchdowns he had last season. Look for another productive game against a mediocre Redskins pass defense this week.

2) Orleans Darkwa (NYG) - 11% owned - Darkwa impressed against a tough Denver defense last week rushing 21 times for 117 yards and looks to be the favorite for carries in the Giants backfield for the time being. There are still a lot of concerns with the Giants offense but Darkwa is a decent depth grab and bye week fill in if needed.

1) Sterling Shepard (NYG) - 52% owned - It's painfully clear the Giants need someone to step up as a number one receiver especially after there were only TWO catches from all Giants wide receivers last week. When he is back in the line up from his ankle injury he should have enough targets to maintain a safe floor.

5) Josh Doctson (WAS) - 14% owned - Doctson looks to move into the top receiver role on the Redskins' offense after Pryor and Crowder have seemingly run out of chances. A good candidate to really break out over the next few games, and he has already had a bye week which makes him a great fill-in play.

4) DeAndre Washington (OAK) - 4% owned - Washington played (along with fellow RB Jalen Richard) on Sunday, filling in for the ejected Marshawn Lynch. As Lynch will be heading for a one-game suspension, Washington will get the same opportunity to put up fantasy points in week 8 and it's important to note that Washington got the goalline touchdown call, not Richard. On a high-powered offense like the Raiders, he'll have more of these opportunities against Buffalo.

3) JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT) - 15% owned - Smith-Schuster is really stepping up this season and, after quickly rising past incumbent slot receiver Eli Rogers, has also started to clearly become the #3 option in the passing game (after Brown and Bell). With the rumor mill going into high gear about a possible trade or suspension for troubled speedster Martavis Bryant, even more opportunities may open up for Smith-Schuster going forward.

2) Marlon Mack (IND) - 41% owned - Mack is going to be involved in every Colts game going forward after Robert Turbin's injury knocked him out for the season. With Andrew Luck out indefinitely, the Colts will continue to lean on the running game where they can, and Mack will continue to perform (especially in the receiving game - 4/6 for 40 yards in week 7 with another 30-yard catch called back).

1) O.J. Howard (TAM) - 14% owned - 6 receptions for 98 yards and 2 scores in last week's matchup was exactly the breakout game that Howard owners were looking for (if they were still hanging on), and we'll still see Cameron Brate involved just as heavily in the offense, but there may be room for both to be productive depending on how the offensive schemes develop in Tampa. I'm betting he'll be a flex option going forward, which makes him worth owning (and spot starting) in every league.

5) Paul Richardson (SEA) - 32% owned - With the Seahawks not being able to produce anything on the ground they will have to continue airing the ball out which should mean continued opportunities for Richardson. He's been making the most of his targets lately as well, catching 8 of 9 for 166 yards and 3 TDs over the past two games.

4) Darren McFadden (DAL) - 35% owned - Ezekiel Elliott's 6 game suspension is in effect and it seems likely to stand this time around. McFadden is the likely favorite to lead the Cowboys backfield with Zeke sidelined so he's worth a claim; assuming there are no more appeals putting the suspension on hold further.

3) Robbie Anderson (NYJ) - 29% owned - Anderson got off to a slow start to the season but his targets and production each week put him on the WR2/3 border which means he should be owned more than he currently is.

2) JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT) - 49% owned -  Martavis Bryant twittered himself to the bench last week giving JuJu the opportunity to start and he came up big catching 7 of 10 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown. Bryant seems to have fallen out of favor with the Steelers so expect more and more opportunities for JuJu going forward. Note the Steelers have a bye in week 9.

1) Alex Collins (BAL) - 35% owned - Collins had the look of an elite every-down back last week after he torched the Dolphins for 113 yards rushing on 18 attempts and another 30 yards receiving on 2 catches. Collins is actually leading the league with his 6.0 yards per carry for all running backs that have over 15 carries on the season. Look for him to be the guy in Baltimore the rest of the season.

5) Marqise Lee (JAX) - 38% owned - Lee is currently 20th in targets for all receivers but unfortunately has only found the endzone once this season.  The high volume should keep Lee in the WR3 conversation.

4) Matt Forte (NYJ) - 42% owned - Forte finally looked to be over a nagging turf toe injury as he rushed 14 times for 77 yards and two touchdowns while also catching four passes for another 19 yards against Buffalo. The Jets backfield should still be a timeshare but expect Forte to be leading it as long as he stays healthy.

3) Robert Woods (LAR) - 34% owned - The Rams offense has been clicking all season and Woods is getting enough targets to be a legitimate WR3 most weeks.  Woods has a great matchup this week against a Texans defense giving up almost 260 receiving yards per game.

2) Charles Clay (BUF) - 13% owned -  Clay is set to return after getting injured in week 5.  Prior to his injury he was the most productive fantasy pass catcher for the Bills so he should be worth a grab as he has some nice matchups at the tail end of the season including two matchups against New England.

1) Greg Olsen (CAR) - 50% owned - Olsen won't be eligible to return until week 12 but if you are poised for the playoffs and need a boost to the TE position and he's available you should grab him now or it will be too late.
