Last week’s list had some other success stories, too – Gardner Minshew saw his ownership rise again, just as it has in each week since he’s been starting, thanks to a strong Thursday Night Football performance. Ronald Jones had a solid game, got picked up some places, but gets a spot on the list again because he still might not be owned enough. We might’ve been the only place to tout Taylor Gabriel ahead of his three-TD Monday Night Football performance....

Of course, the process of doing this isn’t exact. You could pick up a player intent on starting them in Week 9 only to see them get hurt in Week 8. They may even getting traded or have a game postponed. But as long as you have one revolving door roster spot or a player that you have no intention of playing this week, you can look ahead and add a potential starter for next week....

There are only a handful of legitimate TE and D/ST streamers on our full free agent list (more good D/STs than TEs), but they might actually be the most important “players” on the list. You should be set at QB, RB, and WR, but you can always mix-and-match at defense and tight end. And here’s how you could lose in fantasy in Week 16.

Chances are, both Snead and Martin are being stashed on someone’s roster in your league, but suspended players like that can slip through the cracks, so it’s worth checking to see if they’re available. The same goes for players who have been injured to start the year, like the Chargers’ Mike Williams and Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck. The best pickups this week might wind up being handcuff stashes (Branden Oliver, D’Onta Foreman, Elijah McGuire) or D/ST streamers (Bengals, who get Vontaze Burfict back from suspension), which, again, speaks to the lack of star power on the wire....

Even after a bye, some things just never change for tight ends. The Giants gave up a touchdown to Tyler Higbee to continue their streak of allowing a TD to TEs each week. This week, George Kittle takes his turn against the Giants, and other sleepers like A.J. Derby (vs. Patriots), Tyler Kroft (vs. Titans) and O.J. Howard (vs. Jets) have good matchups. If you’re really feeling bold, pick Darren Fells against a Browns team allowing an average of 10-plus fantasy points per game (FPPG) to TEs....

However, this is one of those weeks where several of the best matchups feature D/STs you don’t want any part of (Saints, Falcons, Bears). Conversely, some of the worst matchups feature D/STs that are often starters (Rams, Vikings, Eagles, Cardinals, Panthers). We’re pumping the brakes on most of those teams, only listing the Vikings and Cardinals as starting-caliber units (just barely). Make no mistake, we’re not excited about the Saints, Falcons and Bears either, but there are still several other likely available D/STs that you can use this week and get good production....

In Week 3, Matt Bryant nabs the top spot, playing in a dome against a Lions defense known to give up points. The favorable matchups for Stephen Gostkowski, Greg Zuerlein, and Graham Gano could lead to big games from their teams, giving them more chances to score points. Quick reminder, the Ravens and Jaguars play in London this week, so be sure to check your lineup before their 9:30 a....
