Running Back
The Chalk - David Montgomery, Jonathan Taylor
The Pivot
Aaron Jones FD 8000 DK 7100
Opponent CHI
Proj Points FD - 15.11 DK - 16.61
There is absolutely no safety here with Jones in Week 17 as not only is Williams coming back but AJ Dillon is coming off a breakout rookie performance, albeit in a blowout. With the Packers in a "win and take division title" scenario and Aaron Rodgers/Devante Adams on a complete rampage of the league, Jones is going to come in very low owned especially with chalk Montgomery on the other side and Jonathan Taylor for the Colts.
There is a ton of risk here but he is more than capable of 100+ yards multiple touchdowns in this offense and is a terrific leverage play off the passing game in which we don't need a ton of exposure to take advantage.
Quarterback
The Chalk - Lamar Jackson, Ryan Tannehill, Aaron Rodgers
The Pivot
Josh Allen FD 8200 DK 7600
Opponent MIA
Proj Points FD - 19.06 DK - 19.82
I am all aboard the risk train in GPP this week and this pick highlights that. The Bills are in great shape to capture the #2 seed but would lose it with a loss and Steelers win so I see them playing the starters here and that is great news as they are likely very low owned.
Allen is having an MVP-like season and comes into this one red-hot throwing for 320+ yards in three of his last four games with a total of 14 touchdowns(12 passing, 2 rushing). It helps he has one of the best wideouts in the league in Stefon Diggs who I will be stacking him with this week. With Cole Beasley out, I will also be looking at value with Gabriel Davis and Dawson Know.
The matchup is a tougher one as the Dolphins rank 5th in DVOA defense vs. the pass and 7th in fantasy points to quarterbacks but the no other quarterback has his combination of upside and low ownership this week. Sign me up!
