Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8800 DK 7800 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 23.74 DK - 24.4 From a cash perspective, you are likely spending up for one of the two expensive quarterbacks on this slate and that’s going to mean rostering either Allen or Dak. Allen is the third-highest per game scoring quarterback on DraftKings this season even though the production has been a bit hit or miss of late. One of the main issues is that he has barely run in the last two games, rushing for just 21 total yards in that span. His floor this season has come from his legs and here’s to hoping he gets back to some of that against the Saints. New Orleans is great against the run (1st in DVOA) but middling (14th) against the pass this season. Allen still has the higher floor between he and Dak. Dak Prescott FD 8200 DK 6900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 22.02 DK - 22.78 The Cowboys have the highest implied total of the three-game slate thanks in part to the Raiders having the 22nd ranked defense on the season. Dak struggled against the Chiefs throwing for only 216 yards, two picks, and no touchdowns in his 43 attempts. That is pretty damn bad and the loss of the WRs may be catching up with him. It looks like he will be without Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in this game, leaving the receiving corps pretty thin. I’m putting him behind Allen for cash but way above anyone else going on Thanksgiving Day. Running Backs David Montgomery FD 7500 DK 6000 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 14.06 DK - 15.1 The Lions have the 5th-worst defense in the league this season and rank 29th against the run. Montgomery played 95% of the snaps last week against the Ravens, carrying the ball 14 times and getting one target in the passing game. That feels like the absolute basement on expected opportunity considering the snap count and I think we can expect to see much more volume against the Lions in this matchup. Mark Ingram II FD 6600 DK 6200 Opponent BUFProj Points FD - 12.7 DK - 14.56 It doesn’t look like Alvin Kamara is going to be able to suit up for this game, giving Ingram another shot at...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 8000 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 26.36 DK - 27.11 Jackson struggled in a Week 10 loss to the Dolphins, completing 60% of his 43 passes for only 238 yards. And he didn’t run as much as we’ve become used to, getting only 39 yards on the ground. It was a bad game all around for the Ravens and Jackson had a rough one. But I think we can go back to him in cash in Week 11 against the Bears. Chicago ranks 22nd in the league in defensive DVOA are well below average defending both the run and the pass. Jackson is ranked 4th overall in DraftKings points per game this season and still maintains such a high floor because of the gains he makes on the ground. I’m not letting a bad performance last week influence the decision-making this time around. Cam Newton FD 7500 DK 5100 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 17.81 DK - 18.7 Newton is taking first-team reps this week with the thought that he will be the starter in Week 11 for the Panthers. It’s quite the turn of events for Newton who was out of the league two weeks ago. He came in for some snaps last week, 12 total, threw four passes, and also rushed the ball three times for 14 yards and a touchdown. The price is so cheap on DraftKings that I think you can strongly consider him for cash especially if the RPO is going to be operating for Carolina this week. This is a price play if you think there is enough left in the tank for Newton. Running Backs A.J. Dillon FD 7000 DK 6200 Opponent MINProj Points FD - 18.5 DK - 20.86 Dillon will be massive chalk on this slate for both sites. He is set to take over lead-back duties for the Packers now that they have lost Aaron Jones and is in a position to put up some huge stats in this game. Even in the backup role, Dillon has been an effective runner over the last couple of seasons, averaging more than 4.6 yards per carry and also working into the passing game as well. Minnesota’s funnel defense is significantly worse against the run, ranking 28th in DVOA against the run. This...

Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8700 DK 7900 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 26.68 DK - 27.45 The Bills were, obviously, a total disaster in Week 9 against Jacksonville, mustering almost nothing on offense against one of the league’s worst teams. Allen completed just 66% of his passes and overall it was a disappointing day. But even for the struggles, he’s still among the elite fantasy quarterbacks, ranking third in the league in DraftKings points per game at the position. This time around he’ll face a Jets team that is ranked dead last in the league in defensive DVOA. Even with the struggles last week, I think we go right back to Allen in this one without hesitation. Justin Herbert FD 8000 DK 7300 Opponent MINProj Points FD - 23.09 DK - 23.75 After a couple of down weeks against the Patriots and Ravens in Week 7 and 8, Herbert bounced back in a big way against the Eagles last time around. He completed 84% of his passes (32-38) and threw for 356 yards and two touchdowns in the win. This matchup is a tougher one considering that the Vikings are much better against the pass than the run, but Herbert’s price as dipped some because of the recent “struggles”. I think we are buying him at a value in this game considering his upside and this one has the second-highest total of the slate at 53. Running Backs Jonathan Taylor FD 9400 DK 8100 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 22.85 With Derrick Henry now on the shelf, Taylor enters Week 10 as active RB1 on the fantasy season. Even though the Colts still aren’t running him out there all of the snaps, he’s seeing plenty of usage in the offense and it coming off a huge Week 9. Indy is huge, -10 home favorites against the Jaguars on Sunday. That’s the sweet spot for running backs in terms of safety and Taylor has been about as good as it gets this season. He’s second in the league in rushing yards and sees just enough work in the passing game to pass muster there. The Jags are a funnel defense, ranking dead last against the pass and 8th agains the rush, but I don’t think that discrepancy is enough to warrant a fade on...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8300 DK 7300 Opponent MINProj Points FD - 26.28 DK - 27.01 Coming off the bye week, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are in a good spot against the Vikings at home. He’s is QB3 on the season in terms of DraftKings per game points and provides as safe a floor as anyone around because of how much he gets out and runs. The Vikings are a good defense on the season, ranking 4th in DVOA but I think we are getting too much safety with Lamar here. I do think some passing touchdowns have been left on the table for Jackson this season with only 10 strikes to the end zone so far.  Jalen Hurts FD 7800 DK 6700 Opponent LACProj Points FD - 22.36 DK - 23.12 Hurts wasn’t asked to do much in the Week 8 win over the Lions considering the Eagles were literally and figuratively running away with things in that game. But that isn’t likely to be the case this time around against the Chargers. The game has a 50 over/under, second-highest on the main slate, and the Chargers are just -1 road favorites. It could be a close one and that would give Hurts some big upside. His 432 rushing yards rank him only behind Jackson at the position this season (Hurts has played one more game) and that gives him such a high floor. Running Backs Ezekiel Elliott FD 8200 DK 7000 Opponent DENProj Points FD - 18.58 DK - 19.88 Zeke is coming off a “down” week in Week 8 with Cooper Rush under center for the Cowboys. But Dak Prescott should be back this time around for Dallas when they host the Broncos at home as -10 favorites. Zeke should be able to once again see a full workload in a high-powered offense and this game script projects out really well for Elliott. He’s reasonably priced on both sites and should see heavy ownership on FanDuel especially. He’s fine in full PPR as well, averaging more than 3.5 targets per game on the season. Darrel Williams FD 6700 DK 5700 Opponent GBProj Points FD - 15.1 DK - 17.16 Fantasy owners got an annoying “scare” on Monday evening when Derrick Gore appeared out of nowhere and started touching the ball a ton...

Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8800 DK 8100 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 25.06 DK - 25.79 Through his six games, Josh Allen is first among quarterbacks in DraftKings per game scoring at 28.22 and he’s third overall behind only Derrick Henry and Cooper Kupp. It’s quarterbacks all the way down after that, but Allen is the best among the group. Miami ranks 25th in defensive DVOA this season and is actually allowing the 5th-most opponents plays per game as well. This lines up perfectly for Allen considering how much the Bills want to keep the ball in the air with their superstar quarterback. Allen has the sixth-most rushing yards among quarterbacks this season and that's even without being totally pressed to do so in the offense.  Trevor Lawrence FD 6700 DK 5500 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 18.4 DK - 19.16 This matchup lines up very well for the rookie with Lawrence facing off against a pretty bad Seattle team. Over the course of the season, the Seahawks have allowed the most opponent plays and ranks 25th overall in defense against the pass. It’s been an up-and-down first season for Lawrence though, from a fantasy perspective, he does offer a higher floor because he will get out and run. He’s averaging more than four rushes per game and has a couple of touchdowns on the ground. And over the last four weeks, he’s improving his accuracy completing 66% of his passes in that stretch. He’s coming cheaper on a week we might want to load up at the other positions. Running Backs Darrell Henderson Jr. FD 7700 DK 6500 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 20.3 DK - 22.37 Running backs in positive game scripts is the place to be and almost no one projects to have a better one than Henderson this week against the Texans. The Rams come in as -14 road favorites against Houston and Henderson is set to, once again, dominate the touches out of the backfield. He played 88% of the snaps in Week 7, totaling 21 touches (15 carries and six targets) even though the yards didn’t exactly rack up. Nevertheless, He’s looking like a chalk option going into Week 8 and the price isn’t making it all that difficult on either site. Leonard Fournette FD 7200 DK 6300 Opponent NOProj...

Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 7400 Opponent CINProj Points FD - 25.61 DK - 26.33 He didn’t turn in a world-beater in Week 6, but it was more about a little bad luck than anything else. The Ravens crushed the Chargers 34-6 and were so in control of the game that they simply didn’t need Jackson to do anything else. He only threw for 167 yards and a touchdown (Hollywood Brown dropped an easy one) and put up 51 yards on the ground. Again, it wasn’t anything to write home about, but he got scripted out of the game more than anything else. The Bengals have been better than advertised on defense this season, ranking in the top-10 in DVOA. But the way Lamar scores points, his floor is just safer than anyone else at the position on a game-to-game basis. Patrick Mahomes FD 8800 DK 8400 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 25.6 DK - 26.14 There is a case to pay all the way up for Mahomes here considering the game total, matchup, and the fact that he is Patrick Freakin Mahomes. He now ranks second on the season in DraftKings points per game behind only Derrick Henry. And we saw that the Chiefs are going to need to continue relying on the aerial game considering they ran for less than four yards per carry last week against the Washington Football Team. Mahomes is very expensive, but the Chiefs have a whopping 30.5 implied total coming in here. Running Backs Leonard Fournette FD 7000 DK 6400 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 18.57 DK - 20.63 We like to look for running backs as big home favorites as a starting place for cash games and Fournette definitely fits the bill there. The Bucs are -13 against the Bears coming into this game and Fournette has taken over RB1 duties for Tampa Bay. He’s played about 70% of the snaps for the Bucs over the last three weeks and has been pretty efficient when getting the ball. He’s averaging about 4.5 yards per carry in that stretch with more than five targets per game in the passing attack. The Bears have been a decent defense on the season, but Fournette is still underpriced for his role and the Bucs being such big favorites. Darrell Henderson Jr....
