OwnersBox Quarterback Picks

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

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.

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, completely 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.

Zach Wilson, NYJ ($5,500) - @ ATL

Two rookie quarterback suggestions? I know what y'all are saying _- Justin, what are you doing?

But hey, Atlanta allows the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. And while Wilson was terrible to open the season in terms of real life production, but he's had two games with over 250 yards and is coming off of his best game, completing over 60 percent of his passes for the first time for 297 yards, two touchdowns, and one pick. Wilson now gets a matchup against a soft secondary and will have Jamison Crowder in the lineup for the second week in a row. I don't think it's a coincidence that his best game was Crowder's season debut.

 

OwnersBox Running Back Picks

Alex Collins, SEA ($4,400) - vs LAR

With Chris Carson (neck) questionable, Collins will likely see a larger role this week. At just $4,400, I'll be taking a chance on him.

The Rams are middle of the road when it comes to allowing fantasy points to running backs, but the matchup itself isn't why I'm going Collins. It's all about value. Last week, he played a season-high 39 percent of the snaps, with 10 carries for 44 yards and a score plus two catches for 34 yards.

Collins will be involved pretty heavily in this game plan. Good chance to save some salary and use it to grab a big-money play like Dalvin Cook, who goes against a porous Lions defense that allows the most fantasy points in the league to running backs.

 

OwnersBox Wide Receiver Picks

Jakobi Meyers, NE ($5,400) - @ HOU

Ready to ride the Mac Jones/Jakobi Meyers stack to success???

While Houston has only allowed two touchdowns to wide receivers, the defense has hemorrhaged passing yards all year. And No. 1 receivers are putting up good numbers against them -- last week, Stefon Diggs had seven catches for 114. D.J. Moore had eight for 126.

The team's numbers against receivers look better than they are because of a Week 1 meeting with the Jags and Week 2 meeting with a Browns team that was missing Odell Beckham Jr. Meyers will get a ton of looks in this game and is a strong fantasy play, with a ton of upside. And hey -- how many people will have the guts to play that Jones/Meyers stack?

DeVante Parker, MIA ($4,900) - @ TB

Parker has had seven targets or more in every game this season. Will Fuller just landed on the IR. The Bucs allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

Those are all good signs for Parker, who was on the field for 90 percent of snaps this week and finished top 12 at his position. Now look, he's WR42 overall in half PPR, but he's had some tough matchups. Tampa -- for as good as the run defense is -- is not a tough matchup when it comes to the passing game. Parker likely needs a touchdown to pay off, but Tampa has allowed seven touchdowns to wide receivers so far.
