OwnersBox Quarterbacks
Dak Prescott, (Dallas Cowboys) vs. ATL
Lamar Jackson should be the first quarterback off the board in any fantasy format, OwnersBox snake drafts included. That being said, Prescott is a fine consolation prize assuming your opponent takes Jackson before you do. The Cowboys will welcome a leaky Atlanta pass defense to Dallas in a plus matchup for Dak and all of his pass-catchers. The Falcons coughed up 38 points, 322 passing yards, and four TDs to Russell Wilson in their Week 1 loss.
Also consider: Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) @ LAC
Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) vs. WAS, vs. DET, @ CAR, @NYJ
Murray has a beautiful set of opponents over his next four games as not a single pass defense coming up can be considered a tough matchup. The Washington Football Team's defense is tough along the defensive line but they are burnable in the secondary. The Lions were skewered to the tune of 242 yards and three scores by Mitchell Trubisky in Week 1. Murray's Week 4 game on the road against Carolina should turn into a shootout and fantasy gamers should be targeting the Jets Defense in fantasy all season long. Kyler Murray's four-game stretch here will put those who roster him at a significant advantage, especially when you factor in his rushing upside. Murray rushed for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.
Also consider: Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) @ MIA, vs. LAR, @ LV, @ TEN
OwnersBox Running Backs
Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans) vs. JAC
Henry had a relatively quiet Week 1 performance, mostly because he was unable to find the end zone. Of course, that's how high he has set the bar that Henry can rush for 116 yards and have it be a disappointment. On a promising note, Henry caught three balls in the passing game after seeing just 18 catches in all of the 2019 season. Henry also loves to face the Jaguars posting lines of 17 rushes for 238 yards and four touchdowns, 17/44/1, and 19/159/2 over the past three meetings between the Titans and Jaguars.
Also consider: Jonathan Taylor (Indianapolis Colts) vs. MIN
Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) - vs. ATL, @ SEA, vs. CLE, vs. NYG
Elliott gets an excellent slate of opponents over the next four weeks. While the Falcons have been decent against the run in 2019, they are not a unit to avoid, especially in a game with a 53.5-point over/under. The Cowboys are four-point home favorites, meaning Elliott should enjoy a favorable game script. He then will face a leaky Seattle run defense in a game that should be a shootout in Week 3. His opponent in Week 4, the Browns, showed flashes of being a competent run defense against the Bengals in Week 2 but the Dallas offensive line is significantly better than Cincy's. A Week 5 matchup against the Giants is another plus matchup for Zeke as New York gave up 119 rushing yards to suspect talent Benny Snell Jr. in Week 1.
OwnersBox Wide Receivers
Davante Adams (Green Bay Packers) vs. DET
Adams will be a popular wide receiver this weekend after a massive Week 1 performance. He is likely to be the first wideout off the board in snake drafts but he's certainly in play as your first-round pick in drafts this weekend. The Lions shipped top corner Darius Slay to the Eagles in the offseason, leaving unproven rookie Jeff Okudah as the top talent in the secondary. Okudah missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury and will be at a disadvantage in trying to slow Adams in his first NFL game.
Also consider: Allen Robinson (Chicago Bears) vs. NYG
JuJu Smith-Schuster (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs. DEN, vs. HOU, @ TEN, vs. PHI
JuJu Smith-Schuster was happy to see quarterback Ben Roethlisberger back under center as the two connected for six receptions and two touchdowns in a Week 1 win. In Week 2, JuJu will face off against a Broncos Defense that placed top cornerback A.J. Bouye on injured reserve earlier in the week and gave up a seven-catch, 101-yard performance to Corey Davis last week. Smith-Schuster's Week 3 opponent, the Texans, may be one of the worst defenses in the league when all is said and done. Of his Weeks 4 and 5 opponents, the Titans and Eagles, only Philly presents a bit of a concern as Darius Slay has been a force in coverage over his career. That being said, Smith-Schuster runs the majority of his routes out of the slot so he should avoid Slay most of the afternoon.
Also consider: Adam Thielen (Minnesota Vikings) @ IND, vs. TEN, @ JAC, @ SEA
OwnersBox Tight Ends
Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) @ HOU
Andrews smashed in Week 1, going for two touchdowns and making it look easy against the Browns. He remains Lamar Jackson's favorite target in the passing attack and was in on 71.2% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 1, well above his 43.2% snap share in 2019. The Texans gave up 50 yards and a touchdown to Travis Kelce in Week 1.
Also consider: T.J. Hockenson (Detroit Lions) @ GB
Mark Andrews (Baltimore Ravens) @ HOU, vs. KC, @ WAS, vs. CIN
Andrews remains the primary target in two to four-week drafts on OwnersBox. His slate of opponents after the aforementioned Texans is worth attacking in fantasy. Texans tight end Jordan Akins surprised with 39 yards and a score against the Chiefs, the Week 3 opponent of the Ravens. Washington was shredded by Dallas Goedert in Week 1 and struggled against the tight end position in 2019. Andrews torched the Bengals in 2019, going for six catches for 99 yards and six catches for 59 yards and two scores in their two meetings.
Also consider: Jared Cook (New Orleans Saints) @ LV, vs. GB, @ DET, vs. LAC
