Top Picks

QB Bo Nix $6,300/$8,000

Bo Nix is positioned for a strong showing against a Las Vegas Raiders defense that struggles to generate pressure. Nix’s performance under pressure has been shaky, with a passer rating of 65.6 compared to 88.6 in a clean pocket. However, the Raiders rank 24th in PFF pass rush grading and 26th in pressure rate, which should allow Nix plenty of time to operate effectively. While the Raiders rank 11th in passing yards allowed per game (219.2), they are vulnerable in the red zone, surrendering 1.80 passing touchdowns per game, the 8th highest in the league. Their inability to force turnovers is another weakness, with just five interceptions on the season and the 7th lowest turnover-worthy throw rate forced (1.6%). Las Vegas limits big plays well, allowing the 3rd lowest deep throw rate (7.6%), largely due to their reliance on two-high safety coverages over 50% of the time. However, their defense struggles significantly after the catch, allowing the 3rd highest YAC percentage (56%). This opens the door for Nix to exploit short and intermediate throws, letting his playmakers generate yards after the catch. If Denver emphasizes quick, accurate passing, this could be a highly productive matchup for Nix, particularly in moving the ball methodically and converting in the red zone.

QB Jayden Daniels ($7,000/$9,000)

Not much to say about this one. The Dallas Cowboys have allowed a 67.2% completion rate 8.3 yards per pass attempt. Daniels will have no issues against this defense

RB Bucky Irving ($5,300/$6,800)

Unreql spot for him to have a day! Expected to get more carries than his season average as well. Great price on him 

RB Kareem Hunt ($5,700/$7,500)

The Panthers are awful defending the ground alloowng 134.1 rushing yards per game over the L9 weeks and 1.3 rushing TD's rankimg #30/32. The Chiefs are not afraid to just hand him to ball. There will be a point where the Chiefs are up big and will just hand it off the Hunt. 

WR Marvin Harrison ($6,100/$7,200)

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been a steady target in Arizona’s offense, seeing 5+ targets in every healthy game since Week 1. Coming off Bye week I expect rhe Murray and Harrison combo to be in full effect this evening

WR Amon Ra St Brown ($8,300/$9,500)

WR Mike Evans ($7,000/$8,000)

TE Travis Kelce (5,800/$7,200)

Kelce is coming off one of the worst games in maybe his entire career on Sunday against Buffalo. He had an incredibly bad 8 yards on just 2 catches. In the game, he only had 0.31 yards per route run, which was his 2nd lowest of the year, and also wasn’t really being looked at often by Mahomes with only a 15.4% target rate per route in that game. Carolina, as earlier mentioned, lines up in Cover 3 on 44.9% of their defensive snaps, which is the most in the NFL. Kelce is absolutely feasted against Cover 3, seeing 35.4% of the team targets against it over the last 4 games (since the Hopkins trade), and this is including last week’s dud for Travis. The Panthers have been hit hard by tight ends all year, allowing 8.9 yards per target to the TE position, which ranks 3rd most in the NFL. I do not see one of the league’s best tight ends staying silent again in such a ripe bounceback spot. Look for a big game for Travis Kelce in this spot.

TE Dallas Goedert ($4,500/$6,100)

Goedert is averaging 55.3 receiving yards per game, 2.32 YPRR and has been targeted on 22% of his routes. He is 3rd on the team in 1st-read rate at 21.3% and with DeVonta out, should see extra volume. He’ll face a Rams defense that allows the 5th most receiving yards to opposing TEs. They run single high 55.5% of the time (10th highest frequency) and allow 0.59 fantasy points per drop back when in this scheme (worst in the NFL). They run zone coverage 71.8% of the time (10th highest) and allow the 2nd most fantasy points per drop back while in this coverage. Against single-high, Goedert averages 3.13 YPRR and has been targeted on 24% of his routes, a positive split. Against zone coverage, Goedert is averaging 2.33 YPRR and has been targeted on 24% of his routes. The Rams allow the 6th highest inline target share (12.8%), where Goedert lines up on 38.9% of his routes. Bullish matchup for Goedert without Smith.

TE Brock Bowers ($6,300/$7,500)

Bowers has really been the true WR1 in this offense, especially after coming off a 16 target, 13 reception game this past week. He has 5+ receptions in each of the last 6 weeks. He has 45+ receiving yards in each of his L6 as well. The matchup isn’t great for Brock, as DEN allows the 10th fewest receiving yards to opposing TE’s this season, however they allow the 14th most receptions per game. Either way, Bowers is the primary target in this offense and his lines are still very reasonable. Could have a big day 

Sleepers

QB Justin Herbert ($5,400/$7,400)

WR Courtland Sutton ($5,800/$7,100)

Courtland Sutton has been a consistent focal point of the Broncos’ offense, with at least 6 receptions, 8 targets, and 70+ yards in each of his last four games. His 25%+ target share over that span highlights his reliability, even though he failed to score last week.The Raiders present a challenging matchup for wide receivers, allowing the 3rd-fewest receiving yards per game (119.2) and the 28th-lowest aDOT (6.9). However, they’ve struggled in other areas, giving up the 9th-highest yards after catch per reception and the 7th-most passing touchdowns (18). Sutton’s recent usage and production make him hard to overlook.

WR Rome Ozunze ($4800/$5,400)

Odunze averages 47.9 receiving yards per game, 1.54 YPRR and has a 1st-read rate of 21.5%. However, in his 4 games post-bye, he leads the Bears in receiving with 58.26 YPG. His 1st-read rate is also trending up, at 27.3, which is more in line with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen at 29.9% and 27.3% respectively.

He’ll face a Vikings that allow 184.4 receiving yard to opposing WR’s per game which is the 3rd WORST! The Vikings run Zone Coverage at the 4th HIGHEST rate this season (77.2%) and over the last 3 weeks that has increased to (83.2%). That is good news as Odunze as he leads the Bears in YPRR (1.76) against zone coverage with a 22.3% first read rate.

WR Devaughn Vele ($3,900/$5,400)

Devaughn Vele has quietly become a more involved part of the Broncos’ offense, seeing his snap share rise to an average of 67% over the past two games while earning 4+ targets in both contests. This increased usage coincides with a potential breakout opportunity against a Raiders defense that has struggled to defend the slot. Vele, who operates out of the slot on 72.6% of his routes, faces a unit that allows the 5th-most receiving yards per game to slot receivers (87.7). Additionally, the Raiders rank among the league’s worst in both yards per route run and yards per reception allowed to slot receivers, making them a favorable matchup for a player like Vele who can exploit openings in the middle of the field. With Denver leaning on its passing game more in recent weeks and Vele's snap and target share increasing, this looks like an ideal spot for the slot receiver to make an impact. While his overall role in the offense limits his ceiling, the favorable matchup gives him a real chance to deliver sneaky production in Week 12.

TE Will Dissly ($3,00/$4,100)

Faces awful Ravens pass defense and this man has been getting targeted a ton! He is coming off an 80 recieving yard game and will carry that momentum into this one.
