BALLER MOVE: Stream in Two-Quarterback Leagues

OWNED IN: 12% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Although Trevor Siemian hasn’t exactly been putting up big numbers, his style of play has been exactly what Denver has needed with a strong run game and stout defense. In Week 9, however, the Broncos have the benefit of taking on the Raiders 32nd-ranked pass defense, thus giving Siemian has a chance to be more than just a game manager.

Oakland’s defense has actually been halfway decent over its last three games, allowing 224, 246 and 180 yards to Alex Smith, Blake Bortles and Jameis Winston, respectively. Despite of the recent string of good luck, the Raiders aren’t fooling anyone. Aside from yards allowed, they have given up the third-most touchdown passes in the league with a whopping 17. Given the Raiders’ inability to keep passes out of the end zone, it won’t take much for Siemian to return value as a QB2 streamer in Week 9.
