• Add Matthew Stafford: Stafford is in the top five in passing yards this season and simply needs more touchdowns. He should score more often with Cooper Kupp.
• Buy cheaply Tony Pollard: The Cowboys have either had overwhelming wins or overwhelming losses. In more normal games, Pollard should see 20 touches per game.
• Sell high Kyle Pitts: Pitts finally put together a big receiving game, but his playing time has steadily declined in recent weeks.

5 PLAYERS TO ADD
1. R.B Roshon Johnson, Chicago Bears
Khalil Herbert is expected to miss several weeks with a severe ankle sprain.
- Most of the time, if not all of the time, Johnson is likely to be Chicago’s starter with the most carries.
- The fourth-round rookie has posted a 76.2 rushing grade this season, and the only reason he doesn’t see more playing time is that Herbert has also played very well.
- Johnson suffered a concussion on Thursday Night Football. Typically, someone with a concussion ends up missing a game, but Johnson is more likely to play next week than most because the Bears have more free time after playing earlier in the week.
- D’Onta Foreman has been inactive recently but should at least be the primary backup running back until Herbert returns.
- It’s unlikely that role will be big enough to give him any value in his own right, but he would be the all-rounder if Johnson has to miss a game. If Foreman were to fill that role against the Minnesota Vikings defense, he would become the fantasy starter this week.
