Quarterbacks Anthony Richardson FD 7500 DK 5600 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 21.02 DK - 21.02 Anthony Richardson was back under center for the Colts in Week 11 after a few weeks on the bench, and he had one of his best games as a pro. He completed 20 of his 30 passes for 272 yards and a touchdown while running the ball 10 times for another 32 yards and two touchdowns. We can get behind this kind of volume, and the efficiency was good enough. This is a tougher matchup against the Lions for sure, with the Colts +7 road underdogs. But it’s in the dome and there should be plenty of catch up opportunities. Drake Maye FD 6900 DK 5500 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 18.71 DK - 18.71 Over his last three weeks, Drake Maye has completed about 70% of his passes, even throwing for 282 and two touchdowns last week against the Rams. He should have an okay time against the Dolphins this week as well and is coming at something of a discount on both sites. I like him slightly more on FanDuel, where he’s $600 less than Richardson, and the savings help lineups a bit. Running Back Aaron Jones FD 7300 DK 6400 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 17.33 DK - 19.26 Aaron Jones has been a workhorse back this season, though the Vikings did dial it back a little bit in Week 11. He handled 53% of the running back snaps with 15 carries and a target. Cam Akers did get in there for a 37% snap share. That’s a little concerning with Aaron Jones at these prices, but I still think we can go there in cash games. The Chicago Bears are in the bottom third in rushing yards allowed per game. This is a good spot for Jones. Kenneth Walker III FD 8100 DK 6900 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 20.31 DK - 22.28 The Seahawks came out of the bye and went right back to giving Kenneth Walker III about 75% of the running back touches in the offense. He’s averaging about 14 carries and 4.5 targets on the season, making him one of the higher usage backs in the league. This game has a 47.5 total, with the Seahawks as slight favorites. I’ll take Walker at these prices. Tyrone Tracy Jr. FD 6700 DK 6000 Opponent TBProj Points...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Brock Purdy FD 8400 DK 6600 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 21.06 DK - 21.06 The 49ers are operating at close to full strength on offense now, even without Brandon Aiyuk, and that’s good news for Brock Purdy, who has a complement of weapons at his disposal. He threw 36 times last week, going for 353 yards and two touchdowns. The Seahawks are below average in opponent pass attempts and passing yards allowed per game, with this game’s 48 total the second-highest of the slate. Purdy has a high floor and could be the cash game play on DraftKings once again. Bo Nix FD 7400 DK 6200 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 20.57 DK - 20.57 Not the typical kind of guy we throw out here for cash games, but there’s a decent amount to like about Bo Nix heading into Sunday. The Falcons rank 24th in opponent passing yards allowed per game, and the Broncos are actually home favorites here. Nix isn’t all that efficient, with just a 63% completion percentage, but the Broncos will throw the ball, and he also has four rushing touchdowns on the season. Running Back Christian McCaffrey FD 9800 DK 8300 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 23.07 DK - 26.16 Any concern about Kyle Shanahan and company easing Christian McCaffrey back into action was erased last week. CMC played 88% of the San Francisco offensive snaps, getting 13 carries and seven targets on his way to 107 total yards. The DraftKings price especially hasn’t corrected enough for him back at 100%. It’s a little closer on FanDuel, but you can play him there as well. This is a game and team we want pieces of in cash for sure. Chase Brown FD 6800 DK 6500 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 16.01 DK - 18.27 Against the Ravens in Week 10, Chase Brown was a full bellcow back in terms of usage, getting 13 carries and a monster 11 targets as well. Sure, Joe Burrow threw the ball 56 times in the loss, but you never see that kind of target distribution to a running back. We’ll take it, and these prices aren’t anywhere close to where they should be if he’s on the field 87% of the time like he was last week. Audric Estime FD 5400 DK 4500 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 12.31 DK - 13.32 It looks like Audric...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Brock Purdy FD 8100 DK 6500 Opponent TBProj Points FD - 21.21 DK - 21.21 The 49ers are getting closer to full health this week with Christian McCaffrey coming back into the mix. Yes, they are still without Brandon Aiyuk, but Juaun Jennings will be back as well. That puts Brock Purdy in a good spot on the road against the Tampa Bay Bucs. This game has a 50.5 total, the highest on the slate with Tampa Bay ranked 28th in opponents yards per pass attempts and third-to-last in opponents passing yards per game. This is a place to play Purdy in cash. Justin Herbert FD 6900 DK 5200 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 16.84 DK - 16.84 Justin Herbert is coming very cheap on DraftKings in a week where we might really need the savings elsewhere. The Titans have been an above-average defense on the season, ranking ninth in Defensive DVOA, but the Chargers have let Herbert air it out more in recent weeks, totalling 34, 39, 37, and 27 attempts over the last four. Over that stretch he has five touchdowns and zero interceptions. Plus, he’s run the ball 3+ times a game. Again, on DraftKings, this is a price play. Running Back Bijan Robinson FD 8800 DK 7700 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 20.9 DK - 23.31 The Saints have been below average on defense this season and have been particularly susceptible to the rush, allowing a ton of opponent yards on the ground this season. Bijan is coming off a week in which he saw 74% of the teams’ snaps with 26 total touches. The 19 carries and seven targets are elite usage and he piled on with 144 total yards. Tyler Allgeier vultured a touchdown, but we can live with it. This is a smash spot with the Saints in flux after firing their coach this week. Breece Hall FD 8200 DK 7600 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 18.98 DK - 21.89 The Cardinals are below average in opponents' yards per rush and rushing yards per game this season. And the Jets really need a win here. Breece Hall played 75% of the snaps in Week 9, getting 19 touches (15 carries and four targets), though he turned it into fewer than 80 total yards. He needs to be better than that to justify the price, but I’m trusting that the Jets...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts FD 9300 DK 7800 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 26.6 DK - 26.6 The Jacksonville Jaguars rank dead last in defensive DVOA this season and Jalen Hurts is QB6 in fantasy with the other five guys above him all having played one more game. With the way they use him around the goal line, combined with the rushing yards (255, 6th among QBs), the floor is just so high here. It’s tough between him and Lamar Jackson in the highest price tier, but I’ll take the matchup here on the tiebreaker. Jameis Winston FD 7000 DK 5400 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 18.5 DK - 18.5 He’s just too cheap on DraftKings, where the savings really matters if you can find it at quarterback. We usually don’t recommend non-running quarterbacks in cash games, but Jameis Winston stepped right in last week for Deshaun Watson and threw the ball 41 times for 334 yards and three touchdowns. Sure, there were interceptions, but that’s to be expected in his profile. I can live with it assuming the plan is for the Browns to throw a bunch in this game. Running Back Alvin Kamara FD 8800 DK 7800 Opponent CARProj Points FD - 19.83 DK - 22.83 One thing that’s worked all season, is playing guys against the Carolina Panthers. They are just so, so awful having allowed 271 points to opponents. The next-closest team, the Jags, have *only* allowed 224. That’s simply insane. The Saints get Derek Carr back for this game and are without Rasheed Shaheed as a pass-catcher. I think playing Kamara and stacking him with Chris Olave (who we’ll get to in a second) is a very high floor cash play. Aaron Jones FD 7500 DK 6600 Opponent INDProj Points FD - 18.75 DK - 20.78 Kind of out of nowhere, Aaron Jones played 92% of the Vikings' offensive snaps in Week 8 and touched the ball 21 total times (19 carries, two targets). It only led to 95 total yards and no touchdowns, but the usage and on-field time was about as good as you’ll see these days. With he Vikings -5.5 home favorites against the Colts, I’ll take Jones at a discount if this is anywhere near the kind of usage he sees. Bijan Robinson FD 8500 DK 7400 Opponent DALProj Points FD - 19.54 DK - 21.41 The 51.5 total for the...
