We had our highest points total of the season last week, but still missed the money. We’ve got one line-up to Exeter in the Bet365 Sunday Redzone Competition this week. The competition now covers all games that are on Redzone, as opposed to only the 6pm games that have been covered in previous weeks. Hopefully the extra options help me to pick a winning line-up!
The Miami Dolphins coming up against the Chicago Bears defence this week. The Bears were a middle of the road defence before trading away Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith before this weeks trade deadline. I’m backing Tua Tagovialoa to repeat last weeks monster performance.
I’ve paired him with both his top Wide Receivers in Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. Hill and Waddle are the clear top two options for Tua and have playing amazingly this season. It doesn’t matter who he defence tries to take away, they are both excelling in double coverage!

For my third receiver I’ve got Tee Higgins, the stand-in WR1 for Joe Burrow with Ja’marr Chase out injured. Higgins ended a late TD to save his week against the Brown last week, but expect him to be targeted early and often against the Panther.
My final wide receiver is DeAndre Carter of the LA Chargers. We discussed the Chargers injury issues in the Early Thoughts article this week. Carter comes in cheaper the his teammate Josh Palmer and has shown upside win the Chargers offence in Week 1. Against one of the leagues worst pass defences he has a chance for a big day.
At tight end I’m targeting the Awful Raiders defence again this week. Evan Engram is playing great in Jacksonville after an up and down career in New York. He’s established a great target floor of 6 over the last 4 weeks and rarely comes off the field.
At running back We’ve had to go a little cheaper after the expensive Dolphins stack. First up is Deon Jackson who steps into a starting role for the Colts with Jonathan Taylor out injured and Nehemiah Hines traded to the Bills. The offence can’t afford to have Ehlinger throw all game long, so expect Jackson to have 20+ touches this week. The arrival of Zach Moss shouldn’t be much of a threat to his volume this week.
Kenneth Walker has been a sensation since taking over the Seahawks backfield in week 5. This week the Seahawks face the Cardinals for the second time this season. In week 6 Walker managed 97 yards on the ground against the Cardinals at a solid 4.6 yards per rush. He should see plenty of the ball again this week.
Finally, I’ve gone with the Bills Defence against the Jets this week. With the Jets moving away from the run since losing Breece Hall for the season the potential for turnovers increases. The was shown last week against the Patriots where Zach Wilson threw 3 interceptions and struggled for most of the game. Expect more of the same this week against another division rival!
