CASH GAMES
Quarterbacks
| Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brock Purdy | vs. Seahawks | $6,500 |
| 2 | Russell Wilson | at Chargers | $5,800 |
Brock Purdy is currently the betting favorite to be the NFL MVP, and he absolutely deserves to be in that conversation. He leads a 49ers offense that ranks second in Expected Points Added per Play (EPA/Play) and first in Dropback EPA and ranks eighth in passing yards per game (265.4) and sixth in pass touchdowns per game (1.9). He's at home in a solid spot against a Seahawks defense that ranks 27th in EPA/Play Allowed and 22nd in Dropback EPA Allowed since Week 7.
Russell Wilson is in play as an affordable option. He's at home against a struggling Chargers defense that ranks 18th in EPA/Play Allowed and 17th in Dropback EPA Allowed since Week 7. With the Broncos fighting tooth and nail to make the playoffs, Wilson has posted rushing lines of 34 yards and 1 touchdown and 44 yards and 1 touchdown over his past two games. And he ranks seventh in pass touchdowns per game (1.8).
Running Backs
| Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Zack Moss | at Bengals | $5,900 |
| 2 | Christian McCaffrey | vs. Seahawks | $9,200 |
| 3 | Kyren Williams | at Ravens | $7,300 |
| 4 | Josh Jacobs | vs. Vikings | $6,900 |
| 5 | Joe Mixon | vs. Colts | $6,100 |
Zack Moss didn't get there last week, but we will return to him this week, priced at just $5,900. In five games without Jonathan Taylor this season, Moss is averaging 23.6 opportunities per game. That's higher than any opportunity average in the NFL. And the matchup is strong against a Bengals defense that only ranks 31st in EPA/Play Allowed and 17th in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7.
Christian McCaffrey ranks second in opportunities per game (22.7), second in total yards per game (121.8), and first in touchdowns (17). He's at home against a struggling Seahawks defense that ranks 27th in EPA/Play Allowed and 29th in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7.
Kyren Williams ranks sixth in opportunities per game (21.1), fourth in total yards per game (109.6), and fifth in touchdowns (10). He gets a Ravens defense that only ranks 26th in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7.
Josh Jacobs ranks second in opportunities per game (22.7) and is at home this week. The matchup is tough against a strong Vikings defense, but interim head coach Antonio Pierce is committed to feeding Jacobs.
Joe Mixon turned 26 opportunities into 117 total yards and 2 touchdowns last week and ranks ninth in opportunities per game (18.9). Without Joe Burrow, the offense has to lean on Mixon more and he's at home against a Colts defense that only ranks 30th in Rush EPA Allowed since Week 7.
