Deep sleepers always catch the eyes of fantasy owners, especially in weeks like Week 7 when four teams are on a bye.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Dorial Green-Beckham
The Titans have a size/speed freak at wide receiver, and he could get an extended look on Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
With limited options, fantasy owners could do worse than taking a chance on the intriguing lottery ticket that is Tennessee Titans wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. His size and speed have been discussed ad nauseam, but internal and external factors suggest that a big day could be in the cards for the talented rookie.
Fantasy impact: Green-Beckham has been buried on the depth chart despite making splash plays early in the season, but Harry Douglas has been ruled out for Week 7. This pushes "DGB" up the depth chart to the point where he could see extended snaps against an explosive Atlanta Falcons team that could get out to an insurmountable lead.
Zach Mettenberger will start instead of Marcus Mariota, but is still a passer capable enough of pushing the ball downfield to his weapons. Against a Falcons defense that has allowed the fourth-most yards through the air, the Titans could be planning for an aerial attack of their own to keep up with Atlanta's formidable offense.
With extended snaps, a potentially favorable game script and an exploitable matchup at hand, Week 7 could be the breakout game that Green-Beckham’s fantasy owners have been looking for. In deep leagues, he is absolutely worth a flex spot.
