We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick FD 7600 DK 5900 Opponent WAS Proj Points FD - 20.19 DK - 20.3 So this is one hell of a week to try and analyze from a DFS perspective. We have 4 games with 10 point opening spreads and 7 games with 50+ point totals. Welcome to the NFL in 2018. Perhaps even weirder than these NCAA level spreads and totals is the unlikely ascendance of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Can a 35 year old journeyman back-up really step in and put up not just the best game of his career, but perhaps the best averages of any quarterback this season? It kind of looks like he can. We wrote up Fitzy last week, and he wound up outperforming the much higher owner Newton with four passing touchdowns and 26 fantasy points. The 60% completion percentage was on the lower end for him this season, but still utterly serviceable in a game where the Panthers knew he had to pass. In a game where the Bucs are three point favorites, he should get a little bit more space to create. I do love that the Bucs seem totally reliant on the passing game, especially when they get down and close. Tampa running backs have just two touchdowns this season. The Redskins are basically a league average match-up, so there isn't a lot to see there - but Fitzpatrick is just worth more than these current prices. Aaron Rodgers FD 8600 DK 6400 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 23.95 DK - 25.58 Rodgers is sort of a unique play here because he's one of the few big name quarterbacks in a similar situation to Fitzy - his running backs basically don't do anything. Rodgers isn't exactly cheap, and I don't know that I wouldn't just rather play Fitzpatrick on FanDuel and take the savings, but on DraftKings? It's looking pretty attractive. The big question mark with Rodgers right now is the completion percentage. He's dipped back down to his outlier 2015 season when he completed just 60% of his passes. In every other season of his career he's been at least at 64%. If you think Rodgers has taken a step back this season you probably don't...

Minnesota Vikings Quarterback - Kirk Cousins Primary Target - Adam Thielen There are three games this week with 50+ Vegas Totals including the Saints/Rams game which has a season-high 60! You can bet all of those QB/WR combos are going to be chalky this week so I am going to go in a bit different direction with my first stack. The Vikings are at home as 5.5 point favorites vs. the Lions who do rank Top 10 in passing yards per game given up but also rank 30th when looking at DVOA against the pass. The matchup isn't what stands out, however, it is the Vikings and their leaning on the passing game this season. They are third in the league in pass vs. rush % and have totaled 78% of their total yards and 76% of the teams offensive touchdowns through the air. Kirk Cousins is one of just five quarterbacks who is projected for 40 or more pass attempts this week but is the only one of those who is completing over 70% of his passes for the season. He is also second in the league with 2,521 yards and sixth in touchdowns with 16. He is also elite when breaking down matchups for his wideouts and while it was Stefon Diggs getting most of the target share last week catching 10 of his 11 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown(30.9 DK/22.9 FD points), Thielen caught all seven of his targets for his record-tying 8th straight 100+ yard game. This week I am looking to stack Cousins with Thielen almost exclusively as Diggs is going to see a heavy dose of Darius Slay on the outside leaving Thielen to get the MUCH better matchup against a combination of Nevin Lawson and Teez Tabor. You can almost guarantee Cousins knows all about the record and will do everything in his power to get Thielen past Calvin Johnson and no better time to do it than against Megatron's old team. Carolina Panthers Quarterback -...
