Each week of the NFL campaign we will sift through the deeper options at each position with an eye on identifying streaming fantasy commodities with valuable matchups to consider.Did you draft Keenan Allen and need replacement options for this week? Or are you a Rob Gronkowski owner scouring the wire until he returns? We have some choice names to consider for those seeking widely available options at each position.QuarterbackJimmy Garoppolo, New England Patriots: Owned in slightly more than 7 percent of ESPN leagues as of this writing, Garoppolo is a nice fantasy fill-in for investors in, well, Tom Brady, for example. His opponent this week, the Miami Dolphins, have pressured opposing signal-callers on just 25.7 percent of dropbacks since the start of last season, the 10th-lowest rate during this stretch. Garoppolo, meanwhile, was pressured on just 16.2 percent of dropbacks in Week 1, the second-lowest rate in the league. If given extended time to dissect an exploitable secondary -- the Dolphins didnt have a cornerback grade in the top 40 at the position in pass coverage this past Sunday -- our projection model has Garoppolo positioned for borderline QB1 production. He makes for one of the stronger streaming signal-callers for Week 2.Ryan Fitzpatrick, New York Jets: Fitzpatrick enjoyed an even lower pressure rate than Garoppolo last week, with the Jets ceding pressure on just 15.8 percent of his dropbacks, the lowest rate in the league for the opening weekend. The Bills, meanwhile, averaged a sack once every 33.9 pass attempts when opposing quarterbacks used a straight dropback last season, per Pro Football Focus, ranking 32nd in league in this pressure metric. A clean pocket is a quarterbacks friend, while the Bills secondary has been hospitable to opposing pass-catchers since the start of last season in surrendering the eighth-most yards per completion (11.3). The Bills have proved particularly porous to opposing backs in the passing phase, ceding the fifth-most yards per attempt to the position, setting Fitzmagic and Matt Forte up for a potentially rewarding night on Thursday.Running backJustin Forsett, Baltimore Ravens: Forsett led the Baltimore backfield in snaps and total yardage in Week 1 while earning the fourth-highest rushing grade among tailbacks on Pro Football Focus. In one meeting with the Browns last season, his opponent this week, Forsett tallied a season-high 170 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in the process. While Terrance West factors heavily into a nearly equal share for touches in the Ravens committee, Forsett is well positioned given the choice matchup and the potential for positive game script to feed him around 15 touches, as they enter Cleveland as sizable favorites.Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons : Offseason talk of a committee backfield emerging in Atlanta proved accurate in Week 1, as Coleman netted a 47 percent snap rate and consumed 13 touches to Devonta Freemans 15, outgaining him in total yardage by 77 yards, thanks to a career day in the receiving department. The Raiders, this weeks opponent, have allowed the sixth-most receptions and a generous 82 percent completion rate to tailbacks since the start of last season. At a position of scarcity, Coleman is the rare widely available back capable of consuming half of the touches and snaps for a fantasy-friendly offense.Wide receiverTyrell Williams, San Diego Chargers: Due to the aforementioned Allen suffering a serious knee injury, its likely we will see Williams earn increased exposure in regard to routes and targets. Williams led the Chargers with 14.6 air yards per target in Week 1 and was targeted by Philip Rivers on an encouraging 20.8 percent of his routes. With shootout ingredients in place against the Jaguars at home this Sunday, Williams is projected for WR3 production and can be found in free agency in a vast majority of ESPN leagues.Mike Wallace, Baltimore Ravens: This downfield threat could feast on the Browns suspect secondary, given a growing rapport with Joe Flacco. Wallaces average target traveled 16 yards in the air this past Sunday in his debut for the Ravens and his 66-yard score marked his 11th catch of at least 50 yards since entering the NFL in 2009, which ties him for the third most since entering the league, per ESPN Stats & Info. On an otherwise murky depth chart at receiver for the Ravens, its becoming clear Wallace has the most projectable value given his rewarding vertical role.Tight endEric Ebron, Detroit Lions: The Titans have surrendered the eighth-highest passer rating to opposing quarterbacks targeting tight ends, and a touchdown on nearly 10 percent of such targets dating back to the start of last season. Ebron made good on all five of his targets in Week 1 and was targeted on a healthy 15 percent of his routes, which is impressive in the context of the Lions volume-driven passing scheme. At a shallow position, Ebron stands out as a legitimate breakout candidate both this week and for the remainder of the season.Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Ravens: Were going deep with this one, as Pitta is available in 99 percent of ESPN leagues as of press time. The selling points are admittedly attractive, as the Browns have ceded the third-highest passer rating to opposing QBs when targeting tight ends, while allowing the second-highest touchdown percentage on such attempts. Pitta dominated snaps and routes among the Ravens tight ends in Week 1 and has a proven chemistry with Flacco, albeit going back several years given the tight ends durability issues. Were clearly targeting the Browns with our recommendations this week, but with so many widely available skill players for the Ravens, its the top inefficiency on the current marketplace we can exploit.Defense/special teamsBaltimore Ravens: The trend continues, as were hammering this favorable fantasy climate for the Ravens trip to Ohio. Baltimores pass rush was deflated by several key injuries last season, but produced the leagues sixth-best pressure percentage in Week 1, creating a sack, hurry or hit on one-third of the Bills dropbacks this past Sunday. With the Browns leaky offensive line outside of left tackle Joe Thomas, the Ravens could thrive in pressuring Josh McCown, which often proves rewarding for fantasy purposes.Individual defensive playersDefensive lineJabaal Sheard, New England Patriots: One of our top breakout candidates among edge rushers this season, Sheard played on 72.1 percent of the Patriots defensive snaps in Week 1, a sizable jump from his 62 percent rate for the team in 2015. More impressively, Sheard produced three quarterback hurries in Week 1, and could deliver in the sack department against a fallible Miami line. If Sheard isnt available, maybe you can find Robert Ayers of the Bucs, who earns steady exposure as a pressure maven.LinebackerBenardrick McKinney, Houston Texans: Maybe we were a year early in declaring McKinney a top breakout candidate as a rookie last fall, but the momentum is building for a strong sophomore season. With a 96 percent snap rate in Week 1 and 16 percent of his snaps spent rushing the passer, we find appealing upside in place for the Mississippi State product for this matchup with the Chiefs. Another under-the-radar pick is Preston Brown of the Bills, who delivers a high tackle floor playing the inside lanes for Buffalos front seven.Defensive backShawn Williams, Cincinnati Bengals: Williams recorded the third-highest run-stop percentage (rate of defensive stops within eight yards of the line of scrimmage) among safeties in Week 1, per Pro Football Focus. With the Steelers high-octane, snap-happy offense up next, we can expect another rewarding day for Williams. Another sound safety option for tackle upside would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Chris Conte, one of just six defensive backs to record double-digit tackles in Week 1. Custom Dallas Stars Jerseys . James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. Custom Edmonton Oilers Jerseys . A forerunning sled crashed into the worker Thursday at the Sanki Sliding Center. The unidentified worker broke both legs and was airlifted to a nearby hospital. http://www.customjerseyshockey.com/custom-calgary-flames-jerseys-209b.html . Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. Custom Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Custom Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys . John Tavares, Thomas Vanek and Kyle Okposo were also being counted on to slow down sizzling Rangers forward Rick Nash. That plan didnt go so well early. True power rankings might be more up-to-date when looked at week-to-week. However, without an active global league, the optimal window in Counter-Strike for power rankings is closer to a month. A month is enough to consider a couple of offline tournaments, as well as some online results. HLTV.org and Duncan Thorin Shieldss world rankings take a longer-term view of usually around three to six months, so these power rankings will focus on a significantly shorter time period.Online play is only taken into account when and where needed, i.e. when there are no offline results or teams are otherwise dead even, and even with such a short time frame the latest results are more important than ones from four weeks ago, to focus on teams forms. With these guidelines in place, let us take a look another round of ESPN Counter-Strike: Global Offensive power rankings. These come just in time for DreamHack Winter and ECS Season 2 Finals, where many of these ten teams will be competing for their share of the prize money.1. [Brazil] SKDespite failing to win an event since Fernando fer Alvarengas return from his surgery, the defending major champions boast the best recent resume in Counter-Strike, with two second places at their latest events and an older semi-final exit at Epicenter: Moscow. They also made the playoffs at ELeague, though admittedly after losing to Astralis. Finally, the squad topped the Esports Championship Series (ECS) Season 2 in North America, qualifying for the Finals in Anaheim with a top seed. Currently the team to beat, but partly thanks to the relative inactivity of Virtus.pro.2. [Sweden] Ninjas in PyjamasPatrik f0rest Lindbergs side won Intel Extreme Masters (IEM) Oakland over SK in the grand final, building on the semifinal finish at ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals in Sao Paulo - though the latter was with Mikail Maikelele Bill, before Jacob pyth Mourujarvi returned from his injury. The Swedes also made playoffs at ELeague, where they will face off with Astralis next week for a spot in the final four at yet another event. NiP will not be at DreamHack, but still have a shot at qualifying for ECS Season 2 Finals, and will attend the major qualifier in mid-December. They often perk up after roster moves, so it remains to be seen where this team stabilizes after more events with pyth.3. [Denmark] DignitasThe Daness placing has been hurt by time as their Epicenter: Moscow win is nearly expired now. The team also had a poor showing at ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals, and had to skip IEM Oakland due to scheduling issues with their ELeague group. But inactivity can only hurt you so much in an era where many teams seem all but equal to one-another. Topping its ELeague group helped, even versus easier opponents, but Mathias MSL Lauridsens team needs a good result in at least one of DreamHack Winter and ELeague playoffs to hold onto this ranking going forward.4. [Poland] Virtus.proThe Polish side of Janusz Snax Pogorzelski took down SK at Epicenter: Moscow to place second and topped the ELeague group over NiP, but have not attended tournaments since. The team chose to not attend ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals (EPL) at the last minute, and withdrew from IEM Oakland. Traditionally the Poles have been at their best at the largest events, and with the $1,000,000 ELeague playoffs in the horizon next week, are expected to be nearing the peak of their powers. They could skyrocket to the top of the list by end of next week, but right now they are hurt by their inactivity.5. [Denmark] AstralisLukas gla1ve Rossanders team has only attended two tournaments after he joined, topping group C of ELeague over SK and placing top four at IEM Oakland, losing to the same SK team in a close series. It is still early with gla1ve having joined in late October, but eaarly signs are promising - the new Astralis could finally go back to competing for titles, something superstar Nicolai device Reedtz seems destined for.dddddddddddd The Danes will next be tested at ELeague in the quarterfinals against NiP, and are hoping to secure a spot at the ECS Season 2 Finals in Anaheim in the final rounds of online play.6. [USA] Cloud9While the best team from North America went out in groups at IEM Oakland, it had 17-19 and 14-16 losses against FaZe and NiP, respectively, which could have gone either way and catapulted the squad into the playoffs. Worryingly, the iBUYPOWER Masters loss the previous weekend to Immortals shook the ground below them, but none of this is enough to discount the title at EPL Season 4 Finals with series win over SK. Timothy autimatic Tas team needs results at DreamHack Winter and ECS Season 2 Finals to stay afloat though, or we may need to reconsider whether the honeymoon period might be over.7. [Europe] FaZeWhen gla1ve joined Astralis, the Danish side benched Finn karrigan Andersen, who had led them since January 2015. Now karrigan leads FaZe, who also brought back Fabien kioShiMa Fiey in November to replace Norwegian Joakim jkaem Myrbostad. With jkaem the team placed 7th-8th at EPL Season 4 Finals and qualified for ELeague playoffs, and with kioShiMa they qualified for IEM Oakland at iBUYPOWER Masters, and placed top four at the event. The team is trending up, but after withdrawing from DreamHack Winter this week will need results at ELeague, or to qualify for and to do well at ECS Season 2 Finals, to keep up the momentum. Otherwise they are in the danger of slipping out ahead of the major qualifier.8. [Brazil] ImmortalsBrazils number two team took a huge gamble on former SK coach Wilton zews Prado, but after some of weak results, culminating in last place finishes in Sao Paulo at EPL Season 4 Finals and ELeague, chose to replace him with former SK player Lucas steel Lopes. The team proceeded to win iBUYPOWER Masters over Cloud9 - though admittedly in a match with little at stake - and then placed top six at IEM Oakland, with a 4-1 record in the group stage. Immortals is similar to Cloud9 on a smaller scale - honeymoon period producing elevated results, which they now need prove can become the new norm. Its next shot will be at ECS Season 2 Finals.9. [CIS] Natus VincereThe fall of Na`Vi after the ESL One New York championship and the top four placing at Epicenter: Moscow has been odd to watch - and no matter how you cut it, the results have simply not been good. NaVi skipped ESL Pro League Season 4 Finals and failed to qualify for ELeague playoffs, and last weekend went out in 9th-10th place at IEM Oakland. In short, its fair to say they have a lot to work on ahead of the major in January. Na`Vi missed out on ECS Season 2, and will not have meaningful offline tournaments before the major, giving them plenty of time to practice.10.[North America] OpTicThe second North American team, and fourth team residing in the Americas, to be on the list is OpTic, whose roster also features a Spaniard in Oscar mixwell Canellas. OpTic placed 5th-6th in Sao Paulo, won Northern Arena over G2, and qualified for ELeague playoffs by besting EnVyUs. This seems to be a team on the rise, with slowly improving results ever since they first turned heads during ELeagues inaugural season earlier in the year. OpTic is also heading to DreamHack Winter this week, qualified for ECS Season 2 Finals, and will also attend the major qualifier to close out the year. Busy period ahead as they try to scale up their ranking.For more CS:GO analysis and discussion, check out Tomi on Twitter @lurppis_. ' ' '
