Quarterback:
Fitzpatrick put up a 22/37, 277, 4:0 line and 5-21-0 on the ground against Miami. Fitzpatrick’s points of 29.18 ranked 3rd/4th for QBs on FD/DK, respectively. Fitzpatrick’s price per point efficiency ranked him 3rd on both sites.
Fitzpatrick has a solid matchup against the Giants who rank 29th in DvP and 30th overall. The Jets are favored by -2 with a game total at 45. The game total currently ranks 4th highest on the board.
Fitzpatrick’s salary price ranks him 13th/22nd on FD/DK, respectively, making him a much better value on DK.
Stafford had a huge line of 27/38, 337, 5:0 against the Eagles. Stafford ranked 2nd in fantasy scoring on both DK/FD. Stafford’s price per point efficiency ranked him 1st on both sites.
Stafford has a decent matchup against Green Bay who rank 16th in DvP and 15th overall. Green Bay is currently a -3 favorite with a 46.5 point game total, 3rd highest on the board.
Stafford’s salary ranks him 13th on both FD/DK. As home dogs, Stafford’s script should have him in line for plenty of attempts, as his confidence has also appeared to have taken a turn for the better.
Running Back:
With Chris Johnson (IR) out for the year and Dre Ellington (toe) likely on the shelf, the big back Johnson gets the backfield role to himself.
Johnson has a favorable script with Arizona heading to St. Louis as -5.5 point favorites with a game total at 43. The Rams’ defense ranks at 17th in DvP and 4th overall.
Johnson’s salary ranks him 33rd/52nd on FD/DK, making him a much better value on DK. Johnson may end up being the top percentage RB play of the week.
Wide Receiver:
Amendola (knee) is expected to return this week. With Gronkowski likely out, Amendola should get a nice bump in usage.
Philadelphia heads to New England as a +9.5 dogs with a game total at 49, highest on the board. Philadelphia ranks last in DvP and 26th overall. Amendola’s salary ranks him 24th/34th on FD/DK, respectively, making him a better value on DK.
Baldwin put up a line of 6-145-3 on 8 targets (all team highs) against Pittsburgh. Baldwin’s scoring ranked him 1st on both DK and FD. His price per point efficiency ranked him 1st on both sites as well.
Seattle heads to Minnesota in a pick ’em game with a game total at 41.5. Minnesota ranks 11th in DvP and 6th overall. Baldwin’s salary ranks him 35th/50th on FD/DK, respectively, making him a better value on DK.
Baldwin has at least 6 receptions in the last 3 games, and with Jimmy Graham out, could receive an uptick in usage.
Tight End:
Chandler put up a line of 5-58-1 on 11 targets (team high) against Denver. Chandler’s scoring ranked him 7th/8th on FD/DK, respectively. His price per point efficiency ranked him 4th on both sites.
New England hosts Philadelphia as -9.5 point favorites with a game total at 49, highest on the board. Philadelphia ranks 2nd in DvP and 26th overall. Chandler’s salary ranks him 14th on FD and bottom-barreled on DK, making him a much better value on DK.
Chandler will start in place of the injured Gronkowski, and thus will inherently be a base option in the offense. WR Danny Amendola is also set to return this week, but Chandler’s role will bump up regardless, especially in the red zone where he has scored in 2 of the last 3 weeks.
Thomas put up a line of 9-116-1 on 10 targets (2nd on team) against San Diego. Thomas’ scoring ranked him 1st on both FD and DK. His price per point efficiency ranked him 1st on both sites as well.
Jacksonville heads to Tennessee as +2.5 dogs with a game total at 43. Tennessee’s defense ranks 24th in DvP and 16th overall. Thomas’ salary ranks him 9th/12th on FD/DK, respectively. Thomas has 2 TDs in the past 2 games and this trend may continue with this favorable matchup.
Kicker:
Gano was last week’s leader and one of the top kickers in the league going against New Orleans who are last in DvP. Carolina heads to the dome of New Orleans as -7 favorites with a game total at 49.5, highest on the board. Although not cheap, Gano should be the safest play at a sketchy position.
Defense:
Chicago hosts San Francisco as -7 favorites with a game total at 43. The Niners rank 29th in DvP, and Gabbert should be good for at least one turnover. Chicago is cheap play with a favorable matchup at home against a weak west coast team.
