OwnersBox Quarterback Picks
On OwnersBox, you have the option of starting two quarterbacks as this is a Superflex contest.
Dak Prescott, DAL ($7,500) - vs KC
Yes, we're going heavy on Dak this week.
And why not.
The Chiefs allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, while Dak is sixth among QBs in fantasy points per game.
He's thrown multiple touchdowns in all but one game and even that game saw Prescott play well, completing 85.2 percent of his passes in a win over the Chargers.
Last week, Dak had two passing and one rushing score. He didn't finish the game because it was a blowout. This one should be much closer, giving Dak more upside.
Tim Boyle, DET ($4,000) - vs CLE
Sure, let's get weird.
Boyle will make his first NFL start this week and he'll do it against the team allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
Boyle is probably bad, based on his college stats. His FBS stats at UConn featured one touchdown and 13 picks, for instance, and his FCS numbers weren't that much better.
But he did have a really good preseason in 2019 with the Packers, though this year's numbers were bad.
Hey, though. Just do it. Just play the cheapest QB who enters this game as a complete mystery. Gotta be different to win in a crowded field and you can save salary and get Dak.
OwnersBox Running Back Picks
A.J, Dillon, GB ($6,000) - vs MIN
With Aaron Jones out, expect a lot of usage for Dillon. Jones played 34 snaps last week before exiting, and even with just a 49 percent snap share in Jones' wake, Dillon was able to compile numbers.
Jones had 21 carries against Seattle, producing 66 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He also added six catches for 62 yards.
The Vikings allow the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs.
Mark Ingram, NO ($5,200) - vs PHI
With Alvin Kamara out, Ingram will lead the Saints backfield. Last week in that role, Ingram had 14 caries for 47 yards and a score, plus four catches for 61 yards.
Ingram appears to be back? I guess that poor run in Houston might have been more about Houston than it was about Ingram?
Anyway, this offense is missing that field-stretching element, so things will stay in the short-yardage game, both running and passing. That's going to give Ingram a really nice floor.
OwnersBox Wide Receiver Picks
Rashod Bateman, BAL ($5,600) - vs CHI
With Marquise Brown out, it's Rashod Bateman time.
The rookie is coming off his best fantasy game, catching six passes for 80 yards against Miami. He played just 55 percent of the offensive snaps in that one, a number that will definitely increase this week since, as I already mentioned, Brown is out.
Oh, and the Bears allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That's also worth bringing up.
Nico Collins, HOU ($4,300) - vs TEN
There's some sneaky upside with this Texans offense this week, as the Titans allow the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.
But because the Texans offense is so unpredictably weird, I don't really want to invest the salary I'd have to in Brandin Cooks, because there's a good chance Houston implodes and no one has value. To hedge against that, I'm taking the cheaper Texans receiver and hoping the offense as a whole works.
Is that a smart move? IDK, probably not. But Collins played his highest snap rate of the season in Week 9 and is trending toward being a bigger part of this offense.
