This game is likely going to be popular with the highest total(50) on the slate but it's perfect for multi-entry builds as you can run so many different combinations. My favorite is piggybacking off Doug's sentiment for Lamar Jackson from our cash game article. He loves the safety here with Lamar with his rushing and I love the upside as the Vikings defense is coming off a terrible performance giving up 325 yards and two touchdowns to Cooper Rush who had exactly three passing attempts in his 3.5 years in the league before last week. That includes 122/112/84 yards to the Cowboys top three wideouts.
Marquise Brown has been anything but consistent leaving him off my cash game core but in GPP, I love the upside with 16.0 average depth of target, which is third among all wideouts with 30+ targets. The inconsistency has also kept his price in check throughout the season and presents a ton of PTS/$ upside. Running it back, I prefer Adam Thielen who has been more consistent than Justin Jefferson in the short term and is considerably cheaper making the build much easier to complete.
I mentioned above a ton of combinations in this game stack and for some lower ownership, I love targeting Kirk Cousins and then mixing combinations of Thielen, Jefferson, Conklin and running it back with combinations of Andrews and Brown.
Bengals Stack
Joe Burrow FD 7600 DK 6800
Opponent CLE
Proj Points FD - 16.94 DK - 17.43
Ja'Marr Chase FD 7900 DK 7600
Opponent CLE

Tee Higgins FD 6600 DK 5300
Opponent CLE
Proj Points FD - 11.4 DK - 13.96
If you have been reading the article weekly, you would probably guess I am a Bengals fan for how many times I have mentioned them. I am not a real-life fan(Vikings take that spot in my heart) but for fake football, I absolutely love them and they have rarely let us down this season.
It starts with Joe Burrow who enters this week with three touchdown passes in three straight games, has thrown multiple touchdowns in all eight games, and has top 20 fantasy points(3x at these prices) in five straight games. The upside play here is Ja'Marr Chase who is running away with the offensive rookie of the year award as he has topped 97 yards receiving four times and has seven scores through eight weeks. He is a big-play monster, as well, with a 13.6 aDOT which is Top 10 among all qualified wideouts.
The matchup may not be ideal but that will also help drive down the ownership. To be fair, the Browns are #1 in DVAO against the run but 15th against the pass. lock and load on a possible low-owned/high-upside stack that could break the slate.
