Important Notes
The most important note for StatHero is their scoring system. It’s different from what you’re likely used to, and we need to note what the most important aspects are. Quarterbacks are far and away the most important position, specifically passing yards. They get 0.05 fantasy points for every 1 passing yard compared to only 0.1 fantasy points per 1 rushing or receiving yard. For instance, a quarterback would receive 15 fantasy points for 300 yards passing. He would need 3.75 passing touchdowns to reach that. Running backs and receivers would need 1,50 yards to hit that number. They would need 2.5 touchdowns to score 15 fantasy points.
Tight ends are another major part of their scoring. They will receive 1.5 fantasy points per reception, while running backs and wide receivers only receive 1 fantasy point per reception. With StatHero’s current scoring system, it could be a key to stack a team with a dominant quarterback and tight end pairing to go along with the other options on the offense.
The final scoring that could make or break your lineup is the distance bonus. Quarterbacks receive a slightly smaller bonus for long passing touchdowns, while running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends get a bit more of a bonus for touchdowns. Ultimately, you want touchdowns to come from 10+ yards out, which is the distance the bonus’ start at.
Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson/Mark Ingram/Mark Andrews
Lamar Jackson continues to be an elite fantasy option. He’s averaging 206.4 yards and 2.4 touchdowns on 26.4 pass attempts per game this season. He’s also averaging 78.8 yards and 0.5 touchdowns on 11.4 carries per game in 2019. Jackson gets a matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who are allowing only 217.9 passing yards per game. They have given up 21 passing touchdowns, while recording 13 interceptions, as well. Cleveland has also allowed the third most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks this season. The Baltimore Ravens are -10 point favorites in a game set at 48 points, and they boast an implied team total of 29 points this weekend.
Mark Ingram has been enjoying an outstanding season. He’s averaging 68.8 yards and 0.7 touchdowns on 13.9 carries per game. He has added 24 receptions for 211 yards and 4 touchdowns on 27 targets in 2019. Ingram gets an elite matchup, as Cleveland is allowing 135.2 rushing yards per game this season. They are also allowing their opponents to average 4.9 yards per carry. Furthermore, Cleveland has given up 19 rushing touchdowns in 2019. Ingram and Jackson are likely to account for all of Baltimore’s touchdowns, making this duo a must start in a Baltimore stack.
Mark Andrews is in the midst of a breakout campaign for Baltimore. He’s averaging 4.1 receptions for 54.2 yards and 0.6 touchdowns on 6.4 targets per game. He leads the Ravens receiving options in every statistical category in 2019. Andrews ranks third in the NFL in air yards (956) for tight ends to go along with a 10.7 aDOT. He has seen a team-high 13 red zone targets, posting 6 receptions for 49 yards and 6 touchdowns. Andrews will benefit from getting the bonus for tight ends, making him an elite pairing with Jackson on this slate.

Seattle Seahawks
Russell Wilson/Chris Carson/Tyler Lockett
Russell Wilson has been struggling in terms of fantasy recently, but he continues to boast elite upside. Through 14 games, he’s averaging 264.9 yards and 2.0 touchdowns on 31.8 pass attempts per game. Wilson gets an ideal matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, who are allowing a league-high 290.4 passing yards per game. They have also given up a league-high 34 passing touchdowns, while recording only 7 interceptions. The Seattle Seahawks are -10 point favorites in a game set at 51 points, giving them the highest implied team total on the slate at 30.5 points.
Chris Carson is averaging 85.0 yards and 0.5 touchdowns on 19.3 carries per game this season. He has recorded 36 receptions for 246 yards and 2 touchdowns on 46 targets, as well. Carson gets a matchup against Arizona, who is allowing 122.7 rushing yards per game this season. They are also giving up 4.5 yards per carry. With that being said, they have held their opponents to only 8 rushing touchdowns in 2019. Carson will continue to see a massive workload with Rashaad Penny injured, and he’s an elite option once again.
Tyler Lockett continues to be an all or nothing type of player. He’s averaging 5.4 receptions for 71.0 yards and 0.5 touchdowns on 6.9 targets per game. Lockett has also seen 1,189 air yards with a 12.4 aDOT. He leads Seattle with 19 red zone targets, as well. He has turned those targets into 14 receptions for 122 yards and 6 touchdowns. Lockett is coming off of a dominant game against the Carolina Panthers, and he adds tremendous upside to this stack.
New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees/Alvin Kamara/Michael Thomas
Drew Brees has only played in nine games this season, but he has found plenty of success. He’s averaging 271.9 yards and 2.3 touchdowns on 34.4 pass attempts per game. Brees gets an interesting matchup against the Tennessee Titans, who are allowing 258.1 passing yards per game. They have also given up 22 passing touchdowns, while recording 13 interceptions. The New Orleans Saints are -3 point favorites in a game set at 50.5 points, and they feature an implied team total of 26.8 points this week.
Alvin Kamara hasn’t been as dominant as many people were expecting this season, but he’s still averaging 56.5 yards and 0.1 touchdowns on 12.7 carries per game through 12 games. He is also averaging 6.1 receptions for 40.4 yards and 0.1 touchdowns on 7.3 targets per game. Kamara gets a matchup against Tennessee, who is allowing 104.4 rushing yards per game this season. They have allowed their opponents to average 4.0 yards per carry, as well. Furthermore, the Titans have given up 10 rushing touchdowns this season. Kamara is a relatively safe option because of his role in the passing game, and he comes with tremendous upside, as well.
Michael Thomas continues to be one of the most efficient players in the NFL. He’s averaging 9.5 receptions for 110.9 yards and 0.6 touchdowns on 11.4 targets per game. Thomas is a near lock for double-digit fantasy points, and he comes with significantly more upside. He has only seen 1,242 air yards with a 7.8 aDOT in 2019, but that has been one of the reasons he is so efficient. Thomas also boasts 19 red zone targets, turning those into 13 receptions for 120 yards and 7 touchdowns. He is the obvious option, but he’s a must start in a New Orleans stack.
