Andrew Hawkins Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Adding to a previous report. Pryor is active today, so it appears he didn't suffer any setbacks leading up to the game. He's the primary target on the Browns, so he should see a high volume of looks if he plays a full complement of snaps. There's definitely a risk that he'll be limited. Andrew Hawkins and Ricardo Louis make for interesting pivots off Pryor. They're the second and third receivers in targets and they've both had looks inside the red zone. The Browns should be throwing a lot today as they're 10-point underdogs.

One way we can get an edge against others is looking for WRs that are in good match ups that might go largely ignored either due to a low Vegas total or low target volume in previous weeks. By looking at the ProFootballFocus ("PFF") WR/CB Matchup charts we can see who lines up where, how often they run routes from that position, and who they will be running most of those routes against. This helps us identify match ups that have a positive expectation. Here are a few to look at this week:

Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins vs Perrish Cox, TEN - both of Houston's top WR's will benefit in a match up against the worst graded CB in the NFL according to PFF. Cox plays at the LCB position on 93% of the snaps. Fuller and Hopkins for the most part split all the snaps at the WR position that Cox will be facing.

Andrew Hawkins vs Dashaun Phillips, WAS - this one is a little under-the-radar but there's some merit to targeting Hawkins in GPP's, especially if Josh Norman will be shadowing Terrelle Pryor at all. Hawkins plays from the slot and will be covered by Phillips who grades as PFF's second worst CB thus far this season.

Mike Evans vs Bradley Roby, DEN - most people will be avoiding Evans (and with good reason) this weekend as Tampa Bay takes on the vaunted Broncos defense. However, Evans will have more than his fair share of match ups against Roby who grades as the 6th worst CB in PFF's rankings. A negative game script should have the Bucs throwing often which can mean a plethora of targets for Evans.

Jamison Crowder vs Tramon Williams, CLE - Crowder gets to square off against the 10th worst CB in PFF's rankings, Williams, running out of the slot (where Williams lines up 92% of the time). Crowder's clearly shown he is one of Kirk Cousins favorite targets, especially in the red zone.
