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! 

Note: %owned is based on Yahoo! leagues at the time of publication. 

5) Cordarrelle Patterson (ATL) - 15% owned – Mike Davis was expected to dominate touches in the Falcons backfield but instead there has been more of a split with Patterson.  Some sites have Patterson with duel WR/RB eligibility giving some flexibility for line-ups as well. 

4) Carolina (CAR) - 20% owned - The Panthers defense gets the benefit of playing against a first year quarterback in David Mills this Thursday.  Look for some turnovers from the rookie on a short week of preparation. 

3) Sterling Shepard (NYG) - 57% owned – Shepard has been operating as the clear WR1 for the Giants despite their offseason acquisition of Kenny Golladay.  Look for him to continue to build upon his 16 of 19 receptions for 207 yards production he has through the first two games. 

2) James White (NE) - 42% owned – He may not have the same appeal as when Tom Brady was in New England but White’s 12 receptions are currently leading all pass catchers on the team making him a great pick up especially for PPR formats. 

1) Rondale Moore (ARZ) - 34% owned – Moore is off to a solid rookie season catching 11 of 13 for 182 yards and a touchdown.  There is a lot of upside on a high scoring offense if he can continue to build upon his rapport with Kyler Murray.
