With the Patriots’ Bill Belichick rightfully claiming the top spot, Zac Taylor found himself at the 31st spot of the 32 ranked head coaches. The Cardinals’ Kliff Kingsbury, who won’t have many high-value assets to work with, was the only coach below him. With that said, four of SN’s bottom five were rookie head coaches. Of the six first-year head coaches, all were ranked 20 or below with the Browns’ Freddie Kitchens as the highest-ranked rookie coach at 20.As for Taylor, there wasn’t much criticizing the former quarterback coach. Given the cards he’s been dealt, Taylor’s first season will be judged by a playoff berth if the team can, for the first time in years, keep their stars injury free.Here’s what Sporting News said about the Bengals and Taylor.It’s interesting that they mentioned how the Bengals have slid behind the ball in the AFC North. While the Browns are the clear favorite, there shouldn’t be much separating the remaining three teams. To be fair, the Browns haven’t quite proven themselves yet either. With Antonio Brown gone from the Steelers and Lamar Jackson leading the way for the Ravens Drew Sample Jersey 2019 , the AFC North is truly up for grabs. With Taylor at the helm, the Bengals, with a successful 2019 season, can revive a fanbase that’s witnessed three-straight losing seasons. Cincinnati believes in Taylor. The players believe in Taylor. And, for now, that’s all that matters. With six teams on a bye this week, fantasy football players are going to have a hard time fielding an ideal lineup. We’ll get through it together by analyzing the matchups to determine who to start and sit in Week 8.START `EMQuarterback— Andy Dalton, Cincinnati vs. IndianapolisDalton faces the Colts, who have surrendered the second most passing yards to QBs, and the sixth most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to the position. His top receiver, A.J. Green, has TD catches in two career games against the Colts.— Case Keenum Youth Drew Sample Jersey , Minnesota vs. Cleveland (in London)Keenum is a potential streaming option against a Browns pass defense that has allowed 14 passing TDs, the second most in football. The Browns have also allowed the eighth most FPPG to QBs this season.Running back— Mark Ingram, New Orleans vs. ChicagoSince the Saints traded away Adrian Peterson two weeks ago, Ingram has scored three TDs and averaged just over 23 carries and 109 rushing yards per game. Overall, New Orleans is running the ball more this season, and the Bears are allowing an average of four rushing yards per carry (YPC) and just under 105 rushing yards per game.— Matt Forte, NY Jets vs. AtlantaAlthough he’s in a time share with Bilal Powell, Forte has led Jets RBs in snaps played over the past two weeks. He’s also posted double digit fantasy points in points per reception (PPR) scoring formats in his last two games. Running backs have secured 39 receptions against the Falcons, who are giving up the fourth most FPPG to the position.Wide receiver— Devin Funchess, Carolina at Tampa BayThe Buccaneers have given up the most FPPG to WRs, and the second most receptions (96) to the position. Funchess is averaging close to nine targets per game since Week 3 and leads Panthers WRs in red zone targets.— Alshon Jeffery, Philadelphia vs. San FranciscoJeffery is having a disappointing season White Drew Sample Jersey , but much of his struggle could be attributed to tough cornerback matchups. He still averages almost eight targets per game and the 49ers have given up TDs to WRs in six of seven weeks and surrender the sixth most passing yards per game.— Kenny Stills, Miami at BaltimoreStills has a tough matchup against a tough Ravens secondary, however, Matt Moore will be the Dolphins’ QB and if fellow WR DeVante Parker (ankle) does play this week he’ll likely be limited. Stills and Moore have connected for TDs in four consecutive games.Tight end— Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota vs. ClevelandAfter a slow start, Rudolph has averaged over eight targets and five catches over the past three weeks. The Browns have yielded the most receptions and the second most FPPG to TEs.–Hunter Henry, LA Chargers at New EnglandIt appears that Henry will be the Chargers’ primary pass catching TE going forward. He is averaging over seven targets and four catches per game over the past three weeks. The Patriots are surrendering the seventh most FPPG to TEs.SIT `EMQuarterback— Deshaun Watson, Houston at SeattleThe Seahawks have yielded an average of just over 8 fantasy points per game (FPPG) to QBs over their last three games, and have yet to give up a rushing TD to a QB. Running the ball has been one of Watson’s strengths and that will cut into his production.— Matthew Stafford, Detroit vs. PittsburghThe Steelers have given up the second fewest FPPG to QBs and are second in QB sacks with 24. Stafford will be playing behind an offensive line that’s allowed him to be sacked 17 times in his last three games.Running back— Carlos Hyde, San Francisco at PhiladelphiaIt’s clear that Hyde is the 49ers’ primary back, however he has a tough matchup against the Eagles Drew Sample Jersey Mens , who allow an average of just 67 rushing yards per game. The 49ers will probably be playing from behind for much of this matchup, and may have to abandon the run early in the game.— Doug Martin, Tampa Bay vs. CarolinaMartin is averaging just under 59 rushing yards per game this season, and only gained 2.45 YPC in Week 7. The Panthers defense is allowing just 81 yards on the ground, and they are yielding the seventh fewest FPPG to RBs.Wide receiver— T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis at CincinnatiColts QB Jacoby Brissett was sacked 10 times in Week 7 and his weak offensive line may hinder his ability to get Hilton the ball as much as he’d like to. The Bengals have given up the fifth fewest FPPG to WRs.— Will Fuller, Houston at SeattleFuller has scored five TDs in his first three games, however with just about four targets per game this season, it’ll be difficult for him to keep up that pace. The Seahawks have allowed just three TDs and the sixth fewest FPPG to WRs.Tight end— Austin Seferian-Jenkins, NY Jets vs. AtlantaAlthough Seferian-Jenkins has been productive, he faces a Falcons defense that hasn’t allowed a TD to a tight end this season.
