Pickup targets: Cousins, Bortles

NFL, Fantasy NFL

The NFL was littered with injuries to key skill position players in Week 2. Your fantasy roster, like mine and nearly everyone else's who plays fantasy football, was surely affected in some way because of said injuries. We are only entering Week 3, but it is the time of year that if you don't monitor and manage your roster, you will be left behind by those owners who do.

Below are some names to consider to patch holes or just to possibly upgrade a position that is falling short.


Redraft

14-team or larger leagues

Bortles

Blake Bortles, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars were utterly dominated by Washington on Sunday. So why not get Bortles in there now sooner than later, especially considering how great the rookie was in his first preseason action? Well, the answer to that question is simple: The Jaguars' offensive line and pass protection is simply awful. Chad Henne was sacked an amazing 10 times in Washington. You could see why the Jaguars' organization would be hesitant to get Bortles out there behind such a terrible line, but it still is probably the correct decision.

If you can afford the roster spot, Bortles is worth a look in deeper leagues.
