This week Desktop Quarterback likes the following players to exceed point projections and deserve a pickup in your league:
Terrelle Pryor (CLE-WR/QB/Real life FLEX?) vs WAS – Though it was against the defense that can’t seem to do anything right (Miami Dolphins – minus Reshad Jones who is a beast), Pryor put up 200 all purpose yards last week. At 6’4″, 223 pounds, he will be a handful for the Washington Redskins, who have said that he won’t be shadowed by Josh Norman.
Oh, and he’s their only offensive weapon. Feed him, he’s hungry.
Yahoo projected points: 8.36
DQB projected points: 17
Zach Miller (CHI-TE) vs DET – Last week Miller was a great safety valve for backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, and should look to build upon that this week against a porous Detroit Lions defense.
Yahoo projected points: 5.87
DQB projected points: 14.5
Dwayne Washington (DET-RB) vs CHI – Ameer Abdullah missing time has allowed rookie Washington and backfield mate Theo Riddick to battle it out for the featured back role. Washington outperformed Riddick last week (on limited carries), and has gained the attention and confidence of the Lions coaching staff. In a game where the Lions should have no trouble putting points on the board, I like him to continue his good work from last week.
Yahoo projected points: 6.67
DQB projected points: 13
