Some interesting developments as we head into the final few hours before Sunday's opening kickoffs:
(1) Could Peyton Hillis outperform Andre Williams today? Stranger things have happened. You won't find me promoting Hillis as a fantasy starter. But today, I'd start him as a desperate move in PPR leagues, banking on 5+ receptions and 40+ total yards, yielding top 25 RB value.
(2) Lamar Miller has a bad matchup today vs. the Lions. But health concerns should draw people to backups Daniel Thomas and Damian Williams. If Miller can't go today, Thomas or Williams become nice desperation plays. The 'Fins should rack up 60+ yards on the ground. If they can manage a cheap score from one of these two guys, you'll find yourself with a surprisingly solid 10 points.
(3) While Julio Jones remains an every week starter in most people's minds, Roddy White's numbers have paled in comparison. I think White will go off in a big way today.
(4) As I may have mentioned earlier, if you haven't traded Ben Rothliesberger, now's the time. He can't sustain 6 TDs per game. He's never been that dominant. Get great playoff value for him now. A guy I know traded him and Carlos Hyde for Julius Thomas. I'd do that in a heartbeat if I were strong at QB and weak at TE.
(5) Ryan Tannehill is only a few games removed from many questioning whether he's the Dolphins' QB of the future. After last week's blowout vs. the Chargers, expect a sharp regression this week.
(6) Not much time left to snag LeSean McCoy from an unsuspecting fantasy manager. His value will keep going up as the season progresses.
(7) Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin are must-starts today. Neither has looked good recently. Both will look elite today.
Good luck.
