By the numbers: Miami vs. Detroit In AccuScore simulations, the total combined score went OVER 188 points roughly 56 percent of the time. While this isn’t necessarily what we consider a hot trend, the more important number to note is the difference between the sim’s average score and that of Vegas. AccuScore sets the over-under at 192, as opposed to the 188 offered at most bet shops, presenting a nice wagering option on the OVER....
Sporting News’ rankings reflect how we see supremacy shaking up in our predictions all the way through Super Bowl 53. Although seeing where your team ranks now is fun (or not), remember, where that team finishes is more important.

However, they’re both lower than they usually are. The Seahawks are giving up a lot of fantasy points per game (FPPG) to D/STs this season (11.9), but it’s tough to pick against them at home. On the flip side, the Cardinals are allowing just 4.9 FPPG to D/STs, but we know Seattle’s defense is usually tougher at CenturyLink Field. Ultimately, both units are starters, but it’s possible there are sleepers lurking on your waiver wire that might be better options based on matchups....
To be fair, Booker is still fairly high, as rumors of his demise might be greatly exaggerated, at least at this point. Plus, you know, he’s playing the Saints, and it’s tough not to have a good game against the Saints. Still, Bibbs, who is sure to be one of this week’s most popular waiver wire pickups, is in the RB2 conversation, and Prosise is quietly moving up the flex ranks....
DeMarco Murray continues a downward trend and Derrick Henry goes upward, but they run into a tough Bengals run-defense. Matt Forte (@ Bucs), and Orleans Darkwa and Wayne Gallman (@ 49ers) have solid matchups fantasy owners should feel good about, but they’re not always the most dependable players. Usual RB2 starters like Chris Thompson (vs. Vikings) and Frank Gore and Marlon Mack (vs. Steelers) run into some tough run defenses this week, causing fantasy owners to choose between sticking with their old reliables or maybe looking elsewhere....
(Update: We’ve removed Kittle from our rankings and inserted Ross Dwelley.) If there’s one stat that stands out for PPR owners compared to standard owners it’s TE catches allowed. A few teams allow a high number of tight end catches, likely by design, but haven’t allowed many TE touchdowns, thus limiting total TE fantasy points allowed. That can create some “hidden PPR sleepers”. Two such teams are Minnesota (third in total TE catches, zero TE touchdowns allowed) and Denver (13th, one TD allowed)....
