OwnersBox Quarterback Picks

On OwnersBox, you have the option of starting two quarterbacks as this is a Superflex contest.

Jacoby Brissett, MIA ($5,400) - vs BAL

Tampa allows the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Sure, they opened the season against Dak Prescott, Matt Ryan, and Matthew Stafford, but still -- even after Mac Jones finished QB20 last week in the rain, the team is still allowing 23.8 points per game to QBs.

The Colts held Brissett to 199 yards last week, but he threw two touchdowns, and against the Raiders he had 37 rushing yards and a rushing score. He's a solid QB, and gets a fun matchup this week. Sure, the Bucs could shut him down, but that might just lead to some garbage production in the fourth quarter, yeah?

Mac Jones, NE ($5,800) - @ HOU

The Texans allow the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Against a Tampa defense that ranks in the bottom five, Jones threw for 275 yards and a pair of touchdowns despite playing in some bad weather, though he only finished as QB20, as mentioned above. (But the weather was a problem, y'all.)

Jones has been consistent this season for the Patriots. I don't think his career will reach the heights that Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, or Trey Lance will reach, but right now he's playing some smart football, completing 70 percent of his passes. He threw three picks against the Saints, but has only thrown one in the other three games. This lackluster Texans secondary is the perfect situation for Jones to go out and deliver the best game of his NFL career so far.

 

OwnersBox Running Back Picks

Damien Williams, CHI ($5,500) - @ LV

With David Montgomery out with a knee injury, Williams moves into the starting role. This past week, he played just 33 percent of the snaps but delivered eight carries for 55 yards and a score, as well as two catches for 15 yards.

Williams is a solid running back and is going to be stepping into a sizable role this week. At $5,500, I love the value here, as Williams can probably deliver you 90% of what Montgomery can? (Yeah, that's a totally unscientific guesstimate -- so what!)

Oh yeah, the Raiders allow the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. That's another good piece of information to add to the formula. (Formula? C'mon, Justin, just tell people that Damien Williams is going to have a good week and move on.)

 

OwnersBox Wide Receiver Picks

Stefon Diggs, BUF ($7,600) - @ KC

The Chiefs allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers despite playing the Odell-less Browns in Week 1. They let Marquise Brown catch six passes for 113, then let Mike Williams go for 122 yards and two scores in Week 3, then let DeVonta Smith have 122 yards as well last week.

Now, the high-powered Bills offense heads to KC.

Diggs has double-digit targets in three of four games. 60 or more yards in each game. And against Houston last week, he exploded for 114 yards on seven catches.

So, uhh...yeah, I think you need to play Stefon Diggs this week. You could also go for the cheaper piece in the Bills offense in Emmanuel Sanders, or both, if you're feeling risky.

DeVante Parker, MIA ($4,900) - vs BAL

I'm a big fan of stacking in DFS, so since I mentioned Brissett, I'm going to mention Parker as well.

He's had seven targets or more in every game this season and the Dolphins just put Will Fuller on IR. Parker played 90 percent of the offensive snaps last week, turning that into nine targets, four catches, 77 yards, and his first touchdown of the season.

Another factor: Tampa has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing wideouts.

I see two ways this game goes -- either it's competitive throughout and is a high-scoring affair, or the Dolphins get some late garbage yards. Either way, I think there's a lot of fantasy fruit up for grabs.

Sample Lineup
