Top Plays:

Matthew Stafford ($6300)- I just have to back the most sure thing at QB this season with Stafford. He has already proven he can dice up this SEA defense to the tune of 33 DK points in their last matchup. And that was without Davante Adams. In the worst case with the Rams trailing, Stafford will have to throw the ball to come back. The SEA defense is a pure pass funnel bc their run defense is historically good so the volume should be there for Stafford.

 

Jarret Stidham ($4500)- I don’t expect a monster game from Stidham but he certainly has the attributes to score enough to meet this salary. The Patriots pass defense has been excellent this year but they have also faced by far the easiest schedule of opposing QBs this season. Stidham isn’t the runner that Nix is but he has shown the ability to move when needed. The Pats run defense has been elite with Milton Williams in the lineup so I suspect this will be a pass heavy script.

Top Plays:

Kenneth Walker ($6200)- Everyone will have Walker but at this price what can you do. He is the only true healthy RB for Seattle and has had success this season vs the Rams. He carried the ball 27 times for 167 rush yards and 2 TDs. Not to mention 108 receiving yards.

Rhamondre Stevenson ($6000)- Through two playoff games, Stevenson has almost doubled the number of snaps of Henderson so far. Stevenson has also been ultra efficient of late and is a much better pass protector than Stevenson so no reason he won’t continue this rate. He ranks #1 in the NFL in rush yards over expected on runs between the tackles while the DEN run defense ranks 30th in ypc on those inside runs since week 11.

Treyveon Henderson ($5500)- If you want to be a bit contrarian, I would take Henderson and hope he hits a big play or two to pay off. The Broncos run defense has been softer than most would perceive as mentioned above. He is one big run away from really paying off.

Top Plays:

Puka Nacua ($9000)- Its as easy as it gets to take the most sure thing of the week at WR. Puka torched SEA for 225 yards, 2 TDs and nearly 50 DK points in their last matchup. He is opponent proof at this point.

 

Davante Adams ($6000)- I am buying the dip on Adams after a disappointing game last week. Maybe the frigid temps effected his ability to separate from coverage last week but he didn’t look right. This price is too low to ignore.

 

DeMario Douglas ($3600)- Douglas is my favorite cheap alternative at WR. He is capable of putting up a goose egg but he has been Maye’s favorite target when facing a blitz, like he likely will this week. Versus similar blitz heavy defense this year vs ATL he put up up his best game with 23 DK points. He also scored a TD last week vs HOU and is a good way to distinguish in lineups in large tournaments.

 

Marvin Mims Jr. ($4200)- Mims is another good cheap upside WR option and as we saw last week, his big play capabilities give him strong upside.

Top Plays:

 

Hunter Henry ($4800)- Henry is the clear top choice at TE for me this weekend based on matchup. The Broncos are a heavy man defense. Maye has really targeted his TEs, Hunter Henry in particular, vs man this season. Henry is tied with Diggs for highest target share vs man coverage but has been the #1 target when it comes to first reads. The Broncos rank league average when it comes to the rate of opposing TEs meeting their seasonal yardage and reception marks. DEN has allowed the 7th highest target share to TEs on an adjusted basis. I had under in Henry yardage last week vs the elite HOU defense so maybe his numbers get depressed a bit this week and we can buy low on the over.

 

Terrance Ferguson ($2700)- Ferguson is my top cheap value this week. He saw a decent 12.5% target share and 20% air yard share last week. SEA funnels the most target to TEs in the NFL so Ferguson will have his chances.
