NFL: International Series-Denver Broncos at Jacksonville Jaguars
Rachaad White
Before the bye week, White resurrected from the dead, posting 105 yards on 22 touches. Leonard Fournette was injured in this game, but the rookie still out touched the the latter though first half. White is reportedly the new RB1 in Tampa. The 3rd round rookie produced over 1400 yards and earned the 7th most RB receptions in his final year at Arizona State. While the touches will be difficult to project, he faces the Browns #32 run defense this week. He’s a must add
Latavius Murray:
Assuming White and Isiah Pacheco are rostered, Murray should be the top priority for owners in need of a running back. With Chase Edmonds sidelined and Melvin Gordon cut, this leaves the Broncos with Latavius Murray as the team’s only competent ball carrier. The 32-year-old journey man is fresh off a season high 21 touch performance vs. the Raiders. With minimal competition for touches, Murray projects a fringe flex play, despite playing on a Russell Wilson led offense. Starting running backs dont grow on trees in Week 12. He’s worth an add in all formats.
Darius Slayton:
Slayton is coming off a season high 86% snap share on Sunday. This led to 13.6 points on 10 targets. Over the last four games the 27-year-old is a top 20 WR and rookie Wan’Dale Robinson is now out for the season. The 26-year-old ranks 6th in WR efficiency and 7th at beating man coverage. With the Giants desperate for pass catchers and Slayton acting as Daniel Jones number one option in the pass game – there is flex value down the stretch.
Treylon Burks:
The first round rookie finally had his coming out party on Thursday vs. the Packers. Burks finished with 8 targets and 111 yards on just a 55% snap share. Fresh off the injured reserve week 10, Mike Vrabel saw no sense in pushing the 22-year-old on a short week. Remember, this is AJ Brown’s replacement. The Titans don’t have much of a choice but to feature him down the stretch. With Ryan Tannehill back under center and more importantly playing well, it’s a boost for all Tennessee pass catchers. Burks is an upside play vs. the Bengals #20 secondary.

Donovan Peoples-Jones:
I’m getting tired of bringing his name up. DPJ finally got off the snide, scoring his first TD of the season on Sunday. More impressively, it was the 23-year-old’s fifth straight game with 11 points, despite playing with Jacoby Brissett, who ranks 37th in QB accuracy. He’s virtually playing every snap (99% vs. Bills) and is the clear cut #2 option in the pass game. 30% of Peoples-Jones targets haven’t been uncatchable and Deshaun Watson (top-10 in catchable passes) returns next week. DPJ has sneaky league winning value.
