Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Seahawks

Harrison scored just 4.3 fantasy points against the Chargers with only three targets and has a difficult matchup against Seahawks.

DK Metcalf at Patriots

Metcalf has a history of success against Patriots but may struggle if Christian Gonzalez covers him frequently.

Carnell Tate vs. Eagles

Tate has a lot of upside but Titans offense has looked terrible with Cam Ward under center and Eagles defense held Terry McLaurin to 3.4 points.

Alec Pierce at Chiefs

Pierce has a potential start against the Chiefs with a favorable matchup on paper.
