Why you should add him: Eddie Royal should perform better now with some of the attention off of him with Alshon Jeffery back in the lineup. Royal has always found ways to be productive throughout his career and I bet that he and Jay Cutler will find a way to continue that before the end of the season.

Why you should add him: If you need a backup or a fill in, he is averaging 14.8 points per game which is solid enough to be effective given the right matchup. If Steve Smith is healthy Flacco can have a great game and he showed that he can be productive in other ways too by scoring 2 rushing touchdowns against the Browns in week 5.

Why you should add him: He is immensely talented despite a slow start and an injury that has kept him out the past few weeks. Johnson should be able to regain the 2nd receiving spot in the Vikings offense and Teddy Bridgewater is decent enough to feed two mouths in the passing game. I think that you should trust him a lot more than Stefon Diggs.

Why you should add him: If you’re in need of a backup QB or a starting QB he is healthy and playing well. Cutler is averaging 15 points a game and has a healthy Alshon Jeffery now. With Jeffery, Matt Forte and Martelleus Bennet to throw to, among others, Cutler should be able to keep that up and remain productive throughout the entire season barring health.

Why you should add him: Will the hype finally come to fruition? Michael has been a preseason darling over the past 3 years, shredding various backup defenses for major yardage each year but never got an opportunity to get touches on the Seahawks. Well he plays for the Cowboys now and even though he only has 2 carries on the season there has been talks about him being the starter this week. Joseph Randle had been lackluster as of late averaging just 3.3 yards per carry his last two games and hasn’t looked very spry. The Cowboys are down a running back so Michael can now get regular touches and they implemented him into the game plan during the bye week. He may be Dallas’s answer.

Why you should add him: Because he isn’t Alfred Morris. All kidding aside, Morris is averaging only 3.5 yards per carry to Jones’s 4.1 and Jones has outscored Morris by 8 points despite receiving 31 less carries. So obviously Jones is the back to own in this backfield. Morris has had ample opportunities to secure the starting job but he has failed to do so thus far. Jones missed week 6 with a toe injury but Morris did absolutely nothing in wake of that so it’s no big deal. Unfortunately you probably don’t want to start either, but if I had to choose one it is definitely Jones.

Why you should add him: Randle can fade away some weeks, but he gets a lot of targets as the second receiver in the Giants west coast offense. He has a sore hamstring right now but the Giants need him badly. He has been targeted 5.3 times per game throughout the first 6 weeks. Look for him to get more involved as he gets healthier to take some of the pressure off of Odell Beckham JR. He also is a big target so he should be a red zone presence. Every year he finds a way to sneak into the top 35 receivers for the year and if he manages to do that again then you should want him on your team.

Why you should add him: Although oft injured, Harvin has immense talent and can go off any given week. Harvin is currently injured and will definitely miss this week and potentially next week but come playoffs time if he is healthy he is a major playmaker that can get you 20+ points with little touches. Don’t drop anybody too good for him but he is someone to definitely keep an eye on in the coming weeks.

Why you should add him: James Starks is worth a speculative add in all leagues. The reason for this is because he defined himself on Sunday as a go-to player if Eddie Lacy is not effective. And also because of Starks’s track record of successful outings. He has proven that he can handle being a featured back in this offense and Green Bay is not afraid to hand the keys to him. Starks already has more fantasy points this year than Lacy so it is worth the speculative add incase that this becomes a 2 running back attack.

The Packers are on a bye this week so there will be no immediate return on investment and they play the stingy Broncos defense in week 8, but I believe that Starks is a must add for Lacy owners and anyone with room on their roster with an ailing RB.
