This article and the approach for Anytime TD scorers is an ever-evolving process for me. Through the first 8 weeks, I have not been pleased with my results. We've had a few nice hits, but not at the frequency that I'd had hoped. This week, I'm trying a new approach. Fewer longshots and more players with realistic odds. I still added two longshot plays I like, but the focus this week will be to hit at a 40% rate. I'll personally be grouping these players into 3-4 leg parlays and will provide my favorite combo below. Let's see what week 9 has in store for us…
The Favorites
I'm not expecting Jeff Wilson to jump into 10+ carries one week after being traded although he is familiar with McDaniels system. The Bears do not have the ability to keep up with Miami offensively and if this gets ugly, Mostert will see the bulk of the carries in the 2H. Mostert has 2TD on the year and the Bears have given up 9 rushing TDs on the year.
Hopkins has been back for 2 games and hasn't missed a beat. He's had back-to-back 100yard games and 1TD last week. This week he'll get two rookie CBs at home against Seattle. He has 3 redzone targets through 2 games. With the O/U set at 48.5, I expect Hopkins to grab one of the 7 touchdowns on the day.
