12/22/18 - NFL Week 16 - Dart Throw with Matty Ice

WR Alex Erickson $3300 DK/ $4500 FD

   This week there are a ton of injuries, teams playing for nothing, players not playing because their team is playing for nothing, and players banged up but are going to play through.  One of the key injuries is to a Bengals team that has been without A.J. Green, and now will also be without breakout receiver Tyler Boyd.

     I think most people here will flock to Joe Mixon which is absolutely the right call.  In GPP tournaments though he will probably be at least 30% owned. If you want to gain some leverage on the field look at the Bengals receiving core.  The top 3 receivers are now John Ross, Cody Core, and Alex Erickson.

     Erickson is the receiver I'm leaning towards on DK (Full PPR), while on Fanduel I might even lean more towards John Ross with his big play ability. Erickson though saw 5 targets last game due to Boyd leaving with his injury. Cleveland should focus on stopping Mixon by loading up the box, which would leave Erickson to run a lot of routes underneath and the ability to rack up receptions.

Bold Prediction: 7 Receptions 85 yards 1 TD (21.5 DK points)
