Philadelphia Eagles Stack Jalen Hurts FD 8400 DK 7300 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 22.32 DK - 23.03 Miles Sanders FD 6100 DK 5100 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 14.97 DK - 16.03 Doug mentioned both of these guys in his cash game article this week and not only do they give us a high floor and some projected safety, but they also provide a ton of upside. It starts with Hurts who hasn't been great with his arm(61%) but has more than made up for it with his legs averaging over 10 rushing attempts 56 yards per game which are both second to only Lamar Jackson. While the passing has been inconsistent, he has tallied five games with multiple passing touchdowns and did have two 300+ yard games earlier in the season. It's the run game where I think the biggest upside lies as the Giants rank 30th in DVOA vs the run and have yet to face a true rushing threat from the quarterback position. Pairing him with Sanders has the upside of 150+ rushing yards combined and it was nice to finally see something from Sanders who ran for 94 yards on just 16 carries last week(5.9 per rush). More good news as the price continues to sit in the low $5K range on DraftKings while he has the upside of a 6-7K back. If multi-entering and want multiple Eagles stacks this week, I love adding in some passing game action with Dallas Goedert and Devonta Smith. Goedert will be the chalkier option as Hurts top option lately and the Giants have struggled vs. tight ends recently. Contrarian Stack - Vikings Pass Game Kirk Cousins FD 7500 DK 6300 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 17.13 DK - 17.84 Justin Jefferson FD 8100 DK 8300 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 17.31 DK - 20.76 There is a lot of terrific pay-up options this week so if you are looking to leverage a bit and pivot to a lower owned stack, the Vikings pass game makes a lot of sense. First of all, I don't see Dalvin Cook getting...

Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts FD 8400 DK 7300 Opponent NYGProj Points FD - 22.32 DK - 23.04 There are some good quarterback options on this slate of games, but the way Hurts scores just makes him pretty safe on a week-in, week-out basis. His 114 rushing attempts are the most by any quarterback in the league with he and Lamar Jackson sitting in a league of their own in this stat. That ability to get out and scamper keeps the floor so high and the Eagles are completely committed to the run these days, keeping the ball on the ground for more than 50 attempts last week. Oh, and the Giants just happen to be terrible at stopping the run, ranking 30th in the league in defensive rushing DVOA. This is lining up to be a smash spot for Hurts. Cam Newton FD 8000 DK 5600 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 19.31 DK - 20.08 Did it all look great for Cam last week? No. But from a fantasy perspective, we got what we were asking for out of his performance. He went 21-27 through the air for 189 yards and two touchdowns. And then he got going in the ground game as well, running the ball 10 times for 46 yards and another touchdown. The trips to the end zone might have been a little lucky, but the fact that they are designing this many runs for him makes him a cash play on DraftKings where the price only corrected slightly. The FanDuel price came up too much so I think he is kind of out of the conversation there. Running Backs Jonathan Taylor FD 9800 DK 9100 Opponent TBProj Points FD - 23.76 DK - 25.43 Look, the season he’s having is just utterly ridiculous at this point. His 286 DraftKings points are about 60 more than the next-closest running back (Ekeler) and he’s been on a near-historic pace over the last couple of weeks. Taylor has totaled 530 total yards in the last three weeks. That’s just unreal and he’s found the end zone six times in that stretch as well. The running back touches are now his alone, playing 83% of the snaps last week. The price is way up, and the TDs are probably an outlier, but it’s hard to compete with...

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...

Carolina Panthers QB/RB Stack Cam Newton FD 7500 DK 5100 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 18.02 DK - 18.93 Christian McCaffrey FD 10000 DK 8900 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 22.59 DK - 25.71 This week I will start with a stack we can use in all formats, at least on DraftKings where both Cam and CMC are underpriced. Newton was named the starter after taking first-team reps in practice this week and while he is priced among the Top 10 QB's on FanDuel, is near min price on DraftKings which opens up a ton of room for top running backs and pass-catchers this week. He scored in his first touch last week announcing to the world he was back and then threw for a touchdown later in the game. He is, in no way going to be 2015 Cam Newton so temper your expectations but at these prices I will take a 3x floor with 5x+ upside against a Washington defense that ranks dead last in total yards(314.4) and fantasy points to the quarterback position. I will be pairing Cam with Christian McCaffrey in an attempt to capture all of the Panthers touchdowns. Newton back does hurt the implied touchdowns but in terms of total yardage, it think it really helps open up the defense as Cam is a real threat to run, as well. Newton's best passing season, in terms of accuracy(68%), also came in 2018 which was McCaffrey's second season and first with 100+ receptions. This is a buy-low for one of the best running backs in the league who was nearly $10K on DraftKings earlier in the season. Cowboys Passing Game Stack Dak Prescott FD 8400 DK 7200 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 21.25 DK - 21.98 CeeDee Lamb FD 8000 DK 7600 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 15.62 DK - 18.78 Michael Gallup FD 5400 DK 4200 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 11.34 DK - 13.59 How can we not target the game of the week which has a total(55.5) that is nearly a full touchdown higher than any other game on this slate? This...

Titans Passing Game Ryan Tannehill FD 7400 DK 6200 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 19.96 DK - 20.56 A.J. Brown FD 7600 DK 7800 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 16.76 DK - 20.03 The loss of Derrick Henry didn't really seem to affect the offense a whole bunch as they delivered a huge blow to the Rams #4 DVOA defense putting up 28 points last week. It was a bit of a surprise, to say the least, and it also capped the upside of Tannehill as he only had to throw 27 times and tallied just 143 pass yards. This and the matchup against the Saints seems to have people off him this week as he is currently only 9th in tags on FanShare Sports and projected to be low owned. The toughest part of the matchup is in the RedZone where the Saints defense is 2nd overall but they also have allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game on the season. I love the potential low ownership plus slate-breaking upside. I will be pairing Tannehill with his top wideout, A.J. Brown who is dominating the wideout targets lately averaging 10 per game over the last four weeks and has been unaffected by the addition of Julio Jones. Like I mentioned above, the Saints defense is elite in the RedZone but has given up a ton of yards(2nd most to WR). This is my top QB/WR stack to gain some leverage on the GPP field this week. Colts Passing Game Carson Wentz FD 7500 DK 5900 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 19.29 DK - 20.08 Michael Pittman Jr. FD 7200 DK 6300 Opponent JAX Proj Points FD - 15.55 DK - 19.11 It's no secret Jonathan Taylor is the driving force behind the Colts offense and it's also no secret he will be one of the highest-owned players on the slate. While I will have a lot of exposure and will be building around him cash, there is an opportunity to gain some leverage and pivot to the passing game. It starts with the matchup as the Jags, even after last...
