Top 3 Fantasy Disappointments that Should Pick Up the Pace – Tyler’s Insight

When it comes to fantasy football, there are always let downs. There is always that one (or two or three) player who you think is going to make your team that unstoppable force and next thing you know they are battling injuries, facing suspensions, or are just not producing on the field. The problem when this happens is people give up on these players too easily. Today, we are going to discuss three players that have been having below average fantasy seasons that could hit a turn around as we continue the rest of the 2018-2019 season.

1.) David Johnson

Coming into this season fresh off of a season ending injury from last year, Johnson was predicted to be a fantasy monster like he was two seasons before. However, he has been just average, if that. As of right now he is just barely reaching RB2 numbers and in some leagues is only considered a flex option. However, I truly believe Johnson should and will find his groove and can get back to being a respectable RB1. I understand how bad the Arizona Cardinals offense is. But there is no doubt the guy is talented and he’s bound to make at least a handful of big plays as the rest of the season goes on.

2.) Leonard Fournette

Fournette is coming off a tremendous rookie season. Many people put him the top 5 running back conversation prior to the start of the season. Personally, I think that is a little bit of a reach but there’s no doubt Fournette is at 6 or 7 trying to poke his way into the top 5 category. However, that cannot happen for Fournette if he does not become healthy. Fournette has been dealing with a hamstring injury the entire season and TJ Yeldon has taken his spot in the mean time. His injury is week to week but I see him coming back within the next 2-3 weeks and when he does, you’ll be thanking me that you have him on your team. I think the Jaguars offense will be thankful when he comes back too.

3.) Dalvin Cook

Dalvin Cook is basically in the same category as Fournette. Battling injury all year has been hindering his ability to break through as a top fantasy back. Along with Fournette, Cook’s injury is also week to week but when he comes back, he has the explosive power to help anyones roster that is in need of a solid running back.
