Every week during the NFL season, Matthew Berry will be engaging in a discussion with an NFL expert on topics that will provide valuable insights for fantasy owners. For this pre-Week 9 edition, Berry and former All-Pro center turned ESPN NFL analyst Jeff Saturday look at high-upside fantasy WRs heading into a heavy bye week. Plus, they debate Denard Robinson's value and project the Jets' offense with Michael Vick under center.
Which high-upside WRs should you target this week?
Matthew Berry: Thanks so much for joining me for this, Jeff. You are one of our fantasy-friendly NFL analysts, as I know you play in a couple of leagues, and I always appreciate the insights you have as a former NFL player who now plays fantasy as well.
Jeff Saturday: Yeah, I play in a couple of leagues with my kids. We finished in second last year, but this season it hasn't been pretty.
Berry: Well maybe we can start to turn things around, drawing on some of the fantasy questions we go over right now. With so many high-end receivers on bye this week -- including Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Sammy Watkins, Calvin Johnson and Brandon Marshall -- a lot of owners are looking for replacements on the waiver wire. One guy you and I have talked about previously is the Steelers' Martavis Bryant. What do you think of him?
