Quarter of the way through the season!
The picture is starting to become clearer on who is legitimate and who is not….the injuries continue to pile up so who do we pick up? While Bijon has been a beast, his counterpart Brian Robinson (no relation) has also gotten a lot of work in a run heavy Atlanta offense. Brian was good for 2 TD’s on Monday Night football….I have him stashed on my bench just in case.
Kyle Monangai for the Bears is an intriguing pickup. He gashed the Jets but suffered a minor injury….will be interesting to see how he and Swift split duties going forward, but definitely worth a pickup.
The Jordan Love to Christian Watson connection is good for a TD every week.
Bengals could be in trouble this week with Chase and Higgins questionable…might be a week to sit Joe Burrow.

1. Bijon Robinson (ATL-RB)
2. Ashton Jeanty (LV-RB)
