RB DeAndre Washington

Injury struggles for Josh Jacobs could be pushing DeAndre Washington into the spotlight. Jacobs missed last week and Washington saw more carries than Jalen Richard in reserve. Washington had 53 total yards and a score on the ground against the Redskins but also added another six catches. This week the Raiders have the Jaguars, who have the No. 30 overall run defense heading into the game (141.1 yards allowed per game), who also appear to have just given up.

WR Zach Pascal

With TY Hilton out, Zach Pascal has been the main person befitting for the Colts. Over the past two games, he has 19 targets for 12 catches, 183 yards and a touchdown. The Saints’ secondary also got blown out just last week by the 49ers, too. That might not happen again, but there’s no reason to be afraid of Jacoby Brissett’s ability to find Pascal in this one.

WR AJ Brown

Boom-or-bust, but while folks are sleeping on Ryan Tannehill, they’re doing the same for AJ Brown. Three games ago, Brown had four catches for 135 yards and a score. Last week against the Raiders was a five catch, 153 yard, two touchdown game. In between was a three catch, 45 yard game. His meeting this week is against the Texans bodes well though, as they’ve allowed 28 passing scores and are the No. 27 pass defense in the NFL.

TE OJ Howard

Quietly, the Bucs have gotten some production from OJ Howard as of late. In his past two games combined, he has nine catches for 134 yards. The Lions are an average team defending tight ends, but overall as a pass defense, Howard’s opponent this week is the third-worst ranked pass defense in the NFL. Mike Evans is also out for Tampa, meaning more targets to go around still.
