WEEK2 PICKS

-

STUDS

Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston: With great speed at receiver and reliable targets at tight end, he could exploit any more breakdowns the Bears have in coverage. Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch: Ten of Lynch’s 18 carries in the Raiders’ win came in the fourth quarter. He should close out another win against the Jets. Ravens WR Jeremy Maclin: Joe Haden isn’t playing cornerback for the Browns anymore. Maclin has at least one big play in him here.

DUDS

Titans QB Marcus Mariota: The Jaguars’ defense looks legit. Even with an improved supporting cast, Mariota’s numbers could suffer. Redskins RB Robert Kelley: A stout Eagles defense held him to 30 yards on 10 carries, and he doesn’t figure to do much better against a tough Rams defense. Cowboys WR Dez Bryant: He had a difficult time with the Giants’ Janoris Jenkins, a top cover man. He gets another one this week, the Broncos’ Chris Harris.
