Yahoo Sports’ Fantasy Football Live crew looks ahead to Sunday’s matchup between Detroit and Arizona – and how Trey McBride, Kyler Murray and Jameson Williams could impact fantasy managers.
Video Transcript
So now let’s turn to our Fantasy game changers for this week powered by Ram Trucks where we’re identifying some of the most impactful players in one of the top fantasy matchups on the schedule.
We’re going with Lions Cardinals with the highest total of the day of 51.5 because we like fun things.
So there should be plenty of offense in this one.
The Lions favor by three again, 51.5 is the over under on this.
So somebody at this point that you feel like is a fantasy game changer Dalton, who you got Trey mcbride, he isn’t off to a huge fantasy starter though.
It helped him recovering that touchdown in the end zone last week, but he’s running a bunch of routes and he has a 29% target share.
He led all tight ends in first downs per route run last year and simply dominated in college.
So this is a star who’s now in a good offense mcbride has recorded at least a 20% target share in 14 straight games since taking over his full time player last season.
As I mentioned, the Lions are tough against the run, but they allowed the seventh most fantasy points to tight ends last year.
This matchup should also be fast paced.
Even more targets could be available with Greg Dorsch suffering a hamstring injury in practice.
He is active but he’ll be playing through that.
Mcbride is a game changer this week and he’s my top fantasy tight end moving forward just ahead of Brock Bowers.
I’ll throw you a bone there fits.
Oh, look, I, I, I’ll take that, I’ll take that bone all day long.
Uh, Andy Barry, give us your, uh, I know I just parked, I can’t believe that.
Give us your fantasy game changer.
Yeah, mcbride actually had a sick catch last week on a beautiful ball from my guy Kyler Murray.
He’s coming off a flawless game against the Rams, passed for three scores delivered a perfect passer rating and rushed for 59 yards.
He has made up for lost time with Marvin Harrison Junior who was also great in that game.
Murrow Murray went five for five on deep throws last week.
Uh, and all three of his touchdowns were on deep attempts.
That was an element that was entirely absent the previous week against Buffalo.
It was windy.
We questioned whether we would really see that aspect to the offense and then we saw it in a huge way.
Now, Detroit’s defense obviously much higher degree of difficulty than the Rams.
So let’s maybe not another perfect passer.
Rating.
I’ll give you that, but Kyler looks as good as ever as a rusher.
Plus, uh, he has the most talented receiving corps that he’s probably ever worked with.
We’re not going to be benching him anytime soon.
He’s a candidate to finish in this or any week as the QB one overall.
Now, what, what are we doing here?
Terry s save the world here?
Like we, we are talking about a Cardinals lions matchup and our first two fantasy game changers are both be Cardinals.
Did I miss the part here where we’re like, are we suddenly sleeping on the lines where we’re normalizing the explosiveness of Detroit, Tara Tara?
Give us something some hope for the other side.
I got you fitz.
It’s Jamison Williams here.
I have to talk about my boy Jamison Williams the insane week one performance finishing as a top five receiver.
And I know everyone was wondering like, is this just a blip?
Are we going to have repeated reliance on Jamison Williams?
And then we came around in week two and this was a big win for me from what we saw in week two al and around Saint Brown reasserted him as the wide receiver one dominated in targets and yet still we had a low end wide receiver two performance from Jamison Williams.
So that’s the floor.
I am more than happy and thrilled and willing to start him on a weekly basis here.
This is a guy who you can plug into your lineup.
Now we feel the safety of him, unfortunately, sorry, Andy stepping up as the potential second look here above Sam Laporta and if he does that, that’s a nice solid floor for you and then he’s got that massive upside because he is Jamison Williams, one of the most talented receivers of his draft class.
So yeah, it’s, it’s Jamison Williams who was absolutely a game changer for me.
