Fantasy Football season is in full swing and many people are looking for players to slot into their lineups with bye weeks setting in.

The first guy who is a must start is Rhamondre Stevenson taking on the Browns in Cleveland. Stevenson is coming off a twenty point game where the Patriots leaned on him heavily in the run game. His co-star Damien Harris is expected not to play, so you can expect him to get a large number of touches with rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe starting in Mac Jones’ absence.

Another great option this week is Geno Smith at the quarterback position. Smith has been playing like a top five quarterback and ranks sixth at his position. The Seahawks take on the Arizona Cardinals at home who are yielding the eighth most points to quarterbacks this season. Smith is a must play going forward every week, unless he has a string of games where he struggles.

Melvin Gordon is another pretty easy must play this week. He solidified clear lead back status in Denver last week, with the absence of  Javonte Williams. He lead the backfield in snaps, tallying fifty six percent of the snaps. He travels to LA to take on the Chargers this week, who are allowing the most points in the NFL to running backs. Expect Gordon to put up mid level RB2 numbers this week.

Gabe Davis is a great option at receiver this week. He’s coming off a huge week and has a good matchup to support continued production. Davis and the Bills face off against the Chiefs in Kansas City. Last time these two played, Davis went off for four touchdowns and over fifty fantasy points. Don’t expect another wild performance like that from him, but you should feel very

comfortable about putting him in your lineup this week. You can expect high end WR2 numbers from Davis.

A tight end that seems like a very safe play is George Kittle. Kittle has struggled heavily to start the season, but is coming off his most targets of the season a week ago. Kittle and the 49ers travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons, who have been giving up the fourth most points in the league to tight ends. He is one of the best tight ends in football, and fantasy manager can expect him to start getting the ball more often and getting involved in the offense.

Kenneth Walker is another player who should be in every lineup going forward. With Rashaad Penny getting shut down for the season, Kenneth Walker is the clear cut starter in Seattle. The rookie had a big coming out game a week ago, and you can expect him to dominate the Seahawks backfield going forward. The Cardinals do allow the twelfth least points to running backs, but I don’t see that being a major issue for him this week. Walker is a must start going forward, unless something major happens that would change that.
