The Unleashing Report: NFL Week 8
Hello Australia, and welcome to the latest version of the Unleashing Report, where we take a look at a few players that could see their fantasy production unleashed in the coming weeks. Here’s this week’s list:
Chase Edmonds: Finally the time has come. Anyone who’s watched the Cardinals this year has been able to see that Edmonds brings way more juice to the offense than Kenyan Drake, and now Edmonds will get his chance to not suck. Edmonds should enjoy true bellcow treatment, with rookie Eno Benjamin now serving as the next man up. What kinda sucks is that the Cardinals are on a bye in week 8, but Drake is supposed to be out “several weeks,” so the unleashing is coming.
Rashard Higgins and Harrison Bryant: Odell Beckham wasn’t too productive as the lead pass catcher for the Browns, so now it clearly makes sense that the less-talented Higgins should be a quality fantasy starter. And let’s rush out to add the rookie Bryant who still will split snaps with either Njoku, Hooper, or both. I mean, you gotta add these guys, I guess, but this is a low-quality unleashing, to say the least. At the same time, I do kinda think Baker has a weird connection with Higgins that could actually prove to be more fruitful than his sporadic on-field relationship with OBJ.
Deejay Dallas: All Seahawks RBs besides Dallas are banged up and it’s not clear what their status will be this Sunday. Dallas is a rookie out of Miami who usually doesn’t wear gloves during games, immediately telling us he’s a badass. He fits the part for a Pete Carroll running back, and there’s a chance he could get unleashed if some of these other guys have to nurse their boo-boos.
Tua Tagovailoa: The time has come and I only know one thing for certain: Tua looks fucking awesome in a Dolphins uniform. I mean seriously aesthetically speaking it would appear to be a perfect fit. Theoretically Tua has some solid weapons to work with here and if he adds some rushing we could see him provide some fantasy value. I’ve never been a big Tua guy but I also wasn’t a Justin Herbert guy and I also accidentally shoved a fork through my thumb once so maybe don’t listen to everything I say.
Antonio Brown: He’s back to fuck shit up again, folks. Tom Brady just can’t help himself. Even though AB has done nothing to prove he can be a professional for longer than 5 minutes and will likely go on to completely dismantle any little chemistry this team has and serve as a huge distraction that wrecks the season, Brady had to get his guy.
JaMycal Hasty: He’s a running back for the 49ers and he has a cool name. Add him.
