Baker Mayfield is in a good spot at home against a Saints defense that ranks just 21st in EPA/Play Allowed and 26th in Dropback EPA Allowed. He ranks top ten in pass touchdowns per game (1.6) and is priced affordably at $5,800.
Jacoby Brissett leads a Cardinals offense that ranks third in both Pass Rate Over Expected (PROE) and Early Down Pass Frequency (EDPF), and that aggressive passing philosophy projects to continue in this spot with Arizona 8.5-point underdogs. In Brissett's seven starts this season, he ranks first in passing yards per game (312.6), fourth in pass touchdowns per game (1.9), and third in DraftKings points per game at the quarterback position (23.4).
Tyrod Taylor is your salary saver in cash games, priced at just $4,900. He's playing at home in a good matchup against a Dolphins defense that ranks just 24th in EPA/Play Allowed and 27th in Dropback EPA Allowed. Taylor offers rushing production. Over his past two starts, he has run 13 times for 63 yards and 1 touchdown.
Running Backs
| Rank | Player | Opponent | Salary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | James Cook | vs Bengals | $7,800 |
| 2 | Jonathan Taylor | at Jaguars | $9,300 |
| 3 | Derrick Henry | vs Steelers | $7,500 |

This Bengals at Bills game has the highest Over/Under (52.5) on the main slate and is the best fantasy game of the week. James Cook is playing at home, and the Bills are 5.5-point favorites. He gets to attack a Bengals defense that ranks just 30th in both EPA/Play Allowed and Rush EPA Allowed. Cook is having a phenomenal season. He ranks fifth in opportunities per game (21.7), fourth in total yards per game (122), and 11th in touchdowns (9). Cook is an awesome play in all formats.
The Colts are just 1.5-point favorites on the road against a good Jaguars team whose defense ranks 11th best in EPA/Play Allowed and 15th in Rush EPA Allowed. This isn't the ideal matchup on paper for the highly priced Jonathan Taylor, but he's Jonathan Taylor! He ranks second in opportunities per game (22.2), second in total yards per game (132.2), and first in touchdowns (17). Taylor is in play in both cash and tournaments.
The Ravens are 5.5-point home favorites, and Derrick Henry, in the cold in December, gets to attack a struggling Steelers defense that ranks just 22nd in EPA/Play Allowed and 25th in Rush EPA Allowed. Henry ranks 17th in opportunities per game (17.9), 17th in total yards per game (89.4), and seventh in touchdowns (10). Henry is in play in both cash and GPPs as being the overall RB1 on the week is absolutely within his range of outcomes.
The Dolphins are three-point favorites, and De'Von Achane has a favorable matchup against a bad Jets defense that ranks just 27th in EPA/Play Allowed, and 23rd in Rush EPA Allowed. The dual-threat Achane is having a great season. He ranks sixth in opportunities per game (21.5), sixth in total yards per game (117), and seventh in touchdowns (10). Achane is a good play in all formats.
In the past two games without J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey has unimpressively averaged just 15.5 opportunities and 56 total yards. However, this is a good spot for a breakout game against a Raiders defense that ranks 21st in Rush EPA Allowed. The Broncos are 7.5-point favorites. Harvey ranks 13th in the NFL in touchdowns (8) despite only playing two games without Dobbins. Harvey offers legit multi-touchdown upside, making him a strong play in all formats.
The Browns are 3.5-point home favorites, and Quinshon Judkins gets to attack a Titans defense that ranks just 28th in EPA/Play Allowed and 27th in Rush EPA Allowed. Judkins should see a ton of volume here as he already ranks tenth in opportunities per game (19.9). Tennessee is so bad that Judkins' upside is higher in this spot than it usually would be, putting him in play in all formats.
