Quarterbacks

Jacob Eason (IND)

Eason will likely be one of the higher owned players as he is expected to get the majority of the first half snaps as he prepares to begin the season as the starter.

P.J. Walker (CAR)

XFL superstar turned back NFL QB, P.J. Walker is expected to get the start, and he has legs to put up some rushing numbers in a game that will probably be very ugly as neither team is playing its starters

Running Backs

Both Bonnafon and Hubbard are playing for the No. 2 RB spot behind Christian McCaffrey who will not play in this game. Both players are capable of making house calls from anywhere on the field. They are the only two RBs I’m interested in for this game.

Wide Receivers

Shi Smith (CAR)

With none of the starters are playing in this game on either side, so I’m going to play most of the rookies in this game with Shi Smith likely to get a good chunk of playing time as he looks to make this team.

Terrace Marshall Jr. (CAR)

Unlike Shi Smith, Marshall is definitely going to make the team, but is he ready to start as the No. 3 WR in this offense? Tonight will go a long way to that goal.

Mike Strachan (IND)

Strachan is having a good camp, and with the three top WRs unlikely to play (T.Y. Hilton, Paris Campbell, Michael Pittman Jr.), Strachan should get a good chunk of playing time. He is the favorite to win the WR5 spot.

Tight Ends

Kylen Granson (IND)

I’m probably not going to roster a tight end, but if I were, Granson would be the only one I’m interested in. He could be the best tight end on the Colts roster, but he needs to adjust to the NFL first. Check back in three years and this kid is going to be a good one.

Defense

This game is going to be ugly, real ugly. I’d roster both defenses in this game.
