WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolph...-Taylor-Jersey/ . -- Purdue coach Darrell Hazell has a simple philosophy for Saturdays season opener.Stay loose, play fast and follow the rules.He figures if the Boilermakers stick to those three things, everything else should fall into place Saturday against Eastern Kentucky.I think youll see a team that makes few errors, Hazell said. Weve really harped on that, just playing within the rules, as simplistic as that sounds. A lot of people dont always do that, but if you play within the rules, probably youre not going to beat yourself.Fans would welcome any change after what theyve witnessed over the past three seasons -- six wins, 30 losses and a revolving door at quarterback.Half of those wins have come against Football Championship Subdivision schools like Eastern Kentucky. But the Colonels are no pushover.A year ago, they went 6-5 and scored more than 40 points five times. They also led Kentucky by 14 in the fourth quarter before allowing the Wildcats to win it in overtime -- and they could be even better this year.New coach Mark Elder has two established quarterbacks -- record-setting incumbent Bennie Coney and former Missouri starter Maty Mauk, who is eligible immediately because he transferred to a lower-division school. Elder was not expected to announce a starter until Saturday morning.So Purdue has been studying footage of both quarterbacks and the offenses and defenses they think theyll face this weekend.We watched a lot of film, watched their old film for personnel, Hazell said. You really dont know until you play the first couple series.Another potential problem: Purdues best cornerback, DaWan Hunte, didnt practice Tuesday or Wednesday because of an injured leg. If he doesnt play, it would be a major loss against a high-scoring team like the Colonels.Hazell believes, however, that this Boilermakers team is better equipped to change on the fly -- and still succeed.Here are some other things to watch Saturday:BLOUGHS STARTFor the fourth straight year, Hazell will start the incumbent quarterback on opening day. Can David Blough keep the job? Hazell has made midseason changes each of the previous three years, but this time could be different. He asked new offensive coordinator Terry Malone to install a less complicated system that is a better fit for Blough. Saturday will be the first time everyone gets to see whats changed.SPECIAL TEAMSElders background as a special teams coach has the Boilermakers concerned about trick plays. Elder already has a pretty unique group to work with. Punter Keith Wrzuszczak was named to three preseason watch teams and Devin Borders is a kick-blocking specialist. The 6-foot-6 receiver begins this season with 12 blocked kicks, an Ohio Valley Conference career record.END OF THE LINEThe Boilermakers have traditionally played one FCS opponent each season. This game will be the last one. When the Big Ten adopted a policy of not playing lower-division teams, the Eastern Kentucky game as already on Purdues schedule, so conference officials allowed them to keep it.FRIEDNLY FOESMalone and Eastern Kentucky assistant head coach Terry Heffernan are more than just friendly coaches. Malone is actually Heffernans uncle. Malone also worked on Michigans staff at the same time Elder was an assistant.WELCOME WAGONNew Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski is expected to attend his first Boilermakers game Saturday. Bobinski was hired Aug. 9, then put the finishing touches on his duties at Georgia Tech. This week, he arrived in West Lafayette and took over the reins from the soon-to-be retired Morgan Burke. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolph...-Harris-Jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolph...kersley-Jersey/ .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolph...m-Hayes-Jersey/ . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Each week of the NFL campaign, we will sift through the deeper options at each position with an eye on identifying streaming fantasy commodities with valuable matchups to consider.Do you need replacement options for this first heavy bye week in fantasy football competition? We have some choice names to consider for those seeking widely available options at each position.QuarterbackBrian Hoyer, Chicago BearsOver the past three weeks, only Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan have scored more fantasy points at the quarterback position than Hoyer, who demonstrated on Sunday that he has no problem distributing the ball to all of his receivers, as four different pass catchers were targeted at least six times.? The result was Hoyers third straight game with two touchdowns, and he exceeded 300 passing yards in each contest.? This week, hell face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have allowed 17 or more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in three of their four games, so his good run is likely to continue. - K.DAlex Smith, Kansas City ChiefsThe Raiders have been a sweet matchup for opposing signal-callers so far, as they have allowed the third-most fantasy points per game in the league and the most in the AFC this year. The generous rates continue when we look a bit deeper, as the Raiders have ceded 8.85 yards per attempt -- second most in the league -- and the sixth-highest scoring rate, allowing a touchdown on 6.3 percent of opposing attempts. Smith averaged 42 rushing yards and produced four passing scores against the Raiders in two meetings last year, so the precedent for success is present. Owned in just a little more than 23 percent of leagues as of Tuesday, Smith is an ideal streaming option for Week 6. - J.M.Running BackBobby Rainey, New York GiantsIf you are really deep into the waiver wire (ownership percentage of 20 percent or less) at running back, there isnt much from which to choose.? Rainey is available in 96 percent of ESPN.com leagues, and as the receiving back for the Giants, his role warrants increased ownership.? This week, Rainey will face off against the Baltimore Ravens, who just allowed Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson to gain 33 yards on four receptions.? Plugging Rainey in if you are desperate will likely result in a similar total, which while not great, is certainly better than posting a goose egg. - K.DJames White, New England PatriotsWhite led the Patriots backfield in snaps in Week 5 and revived his efficient receiving chemistry with Tom Brady, as he tallied 89 yards from scrimmage, thanks in large part to 63 yards as a receiver. Second behind only Charles Sims last year in fantasy points per route run in PPR formats and with a valuable share of the Patriots offense as long as Dion Lewis is sidelined, White could thrive against a Bengals defense allowing the 11th-most receiving yards to tailbacks on the season. - J.MWide ReceiverCameron Meredith, Chicago BearsWith Kevin White relegated to injured reserve, Meredith stepped into the Bears starting lineup opposite Alshon Jeffery.? Meredith led the Bears on Sunday with 12 targets, which he converted into nine receptions for 130 yards and a score.? As mentioned before, Hoyer is very effective spreading his throws out to multiple receivers, so expecting another double-digit target performance is too aggressive, but even with just seven targets, you should find yourself with 60 yards, based on his historical catch rate and average yards per catch. - K.DDavante Adams, Green Bay PackersThe Packers offense doesnt air the ball out very often, but there is still some value to Adams averaging the most air yards per target on the team. Adams average target travels 12.4 yards downfield, which has fittingly led to him pacing the team with 14.1 yards per reception. With 17.9 percent of the teams targets on the season and such a valuable share of them proving of the vertical variety, its telling to consider Adams has scored in three of four games this season. Can he be the teams James Jones this season and sustain value as a touchdown asset? Available in more than 90 percent of leagues, it takes only a few clicks to find out if he can continue his aeerial success with Aaron Rodgers against Dallas this Sunday. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolph...t-Haack-Jersey/. - J.MTight EndC.J. Uzomah, Cincinnati BengalsTyler Eifert had to see a back specialist last Wednesday, so its fair to speculate that hes not quite ready to return. If that turns out to be the case in Week 6, Uzomah would start again at tight end for the Bengals. Over the past three games, Uzomah has been serviceable, posting an average of nearly 40 receiving yards per game, which would project to 640 yards for a full season. Last year -- a big year for tight ends -- only 10 tight ends hit that level of production.? Uzomah is available in almost 90 percent of ESPN.com leagues.? He shouldnt be available in yours for as long as Eifert remains inactive. - K.DJesse James, Pittsburgh SteelersThroughout the fantasy football season, we hear the idiom, Dont chase last weeks points. In this case, were actually advising you to chase last weeks points, because deploying The Outlaw is hunting for touchdown production. Its fine to knowingly chase touchdowns past the handful of trusted tight ends. In this case, its nice to know James has a worthy share of a potent passing game with a quarterback who likes to look at tight ends in the red zone. The Dolphins have allowed the seventh-most yards to tight ends this season, so there might even be a bit of yardage cushion if James fails to enter the end zone this Sunday. - J.MD/STTennessee TitansThrough five games, the Titans have allowed just six touchdowns to opposing offenses, which is the lowest per-game rate in the league.? The Titans have blitzed on more than 20 percent of their defensive plays.? Thats relevant because Browns quarterback Cody Kessler has not performed well when under pressure, completing just 44 percent of his throws in those situations, compared to 73 percent when theres no pressure.? Look for the Titans to bring consistent pressure and continue their streak of games forcing multiple interceptions. - K.DDetroit LionsIm endorsing the Lions, mostly based on the favorable matchup metrics we find from the visiting Rams, as opposing defenses have averaged 11 fantasy points in standard leagues against Los Angeles, the most in the league. Its also an endorsement that could provide a high floor, if we see Ezekiel Ansah return, as hes an elite pass rusher and the Lions have respectably produced multiple sacks in each outing this season. With a lackluster Los Angeles offense coming to town in a game with a modest implied point total per the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Lions are a widely available streaming option to consider. - J.MIndividual Defensive PlayersLinebackerTahir Whitehead, Detroit LionsSticking in the Motor City, the Lions Whitehead has played on 98.8 percent of the teams defensive snaps as the every-down interior linebacker. Given such a steady snap rate, Whitehead has tallied at least 10 tackles in four of five games and is a top-20 producer in most scoring formats. This middle linebacker could be busy corralling Todd Gurley this Sunday. Available in nearly 90 percent of ESPN leagues, Whitehead is a high-floor LB2 to acquire before the market wakes up. - J.MDefensive BackRodney McLeod, Philadelphia EaglesAn expensive import this offseason in free agency, McLeod is living up to his price tag with a presence on 97 percent of the Eagles defensive snaps while rating seventh in coverage grade and 13th against the run among safeties, according to Pro Football Focus. Given he doesnt leave the field very often, we can appreciate McLeods steady tackle rate, while any big plays are merely gravy. - J.MDefensive LineBrandon Graham, Philadelphia EaglesWe find a pair of unheralded fantasy assets from defensive coordinator Jim Schwartzs aggressive scheme.? Graham started the season with a sack in three straight games and then flashed some capable rush defense with six tackles in Week 5. As the key edge menace on a defense predicated on getting honest pressure from the front four, Graham should continue to shine with a healthy snap rate in Washington this weekend. - J.M Cheap Authentic Jerseys China NFL Hoodies Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Hoodies Wholesale NFL T-shirts Cheap Jerseys 2020 Stitched Jerseys Stitched Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Camo China NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Wholesale NFL Hoodies Nike NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
