I recently started gambling on weekly fantasy football and I need some advice regarding AU. I'm looking for a inexpensive receiver to draft for this week and I was looking at maybe using one of your's. I'd like someone that doesn't get much playing time regularly but might get quality snaps in the second half if this game gets out of hand.

My questions are:
1. What's your score prediction for the game?

2. Who are some receivers lower on the depth chart who might get more snaps than normal?

3. Are there any receivers coming off injury into the starting lineup that haven't played more than a few games this year?

Any advice or info on your team is greatly appreciated.

Melvin Ray.

Should get some production with JJ later in the game.

Maybe Quan Bray.

If Jeremy Johnson comes in for the second half, you want Melvin Ray. He is Johnson's favorite receiver

If the spread is less than 35 points, bet your house.

Melvin Ray has only caught 4 passes all year and I believe every single one of those receptions came in the first game against Arkansas. Duke Williams and Sammie Coates are the only Auburn receivers you could really rely on to have big games even in lopsided game. Any other receiver really would be a shot in the dark in my opinion

Ray had two catches against Arky

One was a 49 yard TD from Johnson, one was a 28 yarder from Marshall

His two other catches were two 15 yard passes from Johnson against SJSU

ETA:

In the spring game he always looked at Ray

I think I'm gonna go with Ray. I'm not really looking for a consistency, I've got that with the rest of my team (N. Marshall, Artis-Payne, Chubb). I'm just banking on this game being a blowout so I can pick up a receiver that might come in at the end of the game and steal me a few points.

What kind of stats are you looking for? Personally, I would consider going with a guy like Quan Bray first. At least he is a guy who will get a lot of playing time. Ray might not get that much playing time

Duke is fairly inexpensive on fanduel

it is unwise to make a habit of gambling

The only stat I'm looking for is a solid number of catches. Who do you think will have more between Ray and Bray?

Bray. Possibly Ricardo Louis as well. I think he'd be more valuable as he may get some speed sweep runs too.

The problem with picking up a WR is we may run the ball 60 times against A&M. Even if Johnson comes in late, he won't just be slinging it around.

I would go with Bray. He caught a few passes against Ole Miss in the last game. I haven't seen Ray catch a pass in a while

I'll definitely look into Lewis if he's more of a run threat since that's yalls bread and butter

Louis touches the ball probably 5 times a game. He took one to the house 70+ yards against South Carolina on a jet sweep and he's shown he's a threat to catch a TD as well (K-State reception from 28 or so yards out).

It's tough between Ray, Bray, and Lewis.

I'd probably go with Bray. He'll definitely get some touches on the ball and can run well once he gets it (he returns our punts too). I can see him dicing this soft A&M defense if NM gets the ball to him.
