Let’s take a look at our “Booms and Busts” for the fourth week. But before we do that, just want to issue an apology to my man, T.Y. Hilton. I doubted you, and for that I apologize.
Ok, let’s get into it.
Booms
Jay Ajayi (RB-MIA) – After putting up a stinker against the Jets last week, Ajayi is going to bounce back in a big way this week. Returning to London where he spent time as a youth, Ajayi will have many friends and family in the stands rooting him on. The extra adrenaline paired with an awful Saints defense makes for a very nice homecoming for Ajayi.
Joe Mixon (RB-CIN) – Mixon seems to finally be the top back in Cincinnati and gets a nice matchup against the Browns this week. Look for him to have a break out game.
Evan Engram (TE-NYG) – Engram has clearly developed a rapport with quarterback Eli Manning, and faces a Buccaneers defense that is banged up quite a bit this week. He should continue to build upon his flourishing relationship with the 2x Super Bowl MVP.
Busts
Lamar Miller (RB-HOU) – Slowly becoming the second favorite back in Houston, game script will not help get Miller back in the loop.
Ben Roethlisberger (QB-PIT) – Going on the road is not Big Ben’s forte, and the Ravens defense has been decent this year (other than this). Look for his road woes to continue against Pittsburgh’s division rival.
Amari Cooper (WR-OAK) – Looking totally out of sync with quarterback Derek Carr, going on the road to Denver should prove to be a tough matchup for Cooper.
