It was nice to have a week without a ton of injuries -- and with a ton of scoring. Going into Monday night, just nine teams failed to score 20 points. And honestly, the number of teams with over 20 points should have been higher if not for some weird flubs and questionable calls in the Packers-Lions showdown.
And how about some props for the tight ends on National Tight Ends Day?! Going into Monday night, there have been 63 instances of a tight end scoring at least 11.5 half-PPR points. That's almost 30% more than the 50 through seven weeks last season.
Those big lugs are making their presence felt! Our daily Fantasy Football Today podcast includes a must-watch Sunday night livestream every single week after the late-afternoon games end. It's our chance to react to what happened across the league and give an initial prognosis on what will happen moving forward.
It's a great place to celebrate ... or commiserate. So while there are far more than two winners and two losers from this week's games, here are the winners and losers I gave on our show. Please keep in mind: I never share "winners" who are obvious studs (like Jaxon Smith-Njigba), and I never share "losers" who are obvious bench guys (like Chris Godwin).
Quinshon Judkins was started in 63% of leagues and put up over 100 total yards and two touchdowns despite playing only 52% of the snaps. The snap share has nowhere to go but up and thus could be an opportunity for Judkins to carve out a larger role for the 5-2 Cleveland Browns. They're continuing to find ways to win games.
And as my colleague Jamey Eisenberg pointed out on our Sunday show, I liked Judkins for his receiving potential against the Titans, and he made his numbers as a rusher. That's actually more evidence that we can expect Judkins' receiving profile to eventually matter. Started in only 49% of leagues, Tony Pollard had his first game with more than 13.6 PPR fantasy points.
