Deep dives
Daniel Jones and Jared Goff offer value at quarterback
Daniel Jones at 5.8 offers a cheap option against a good matchup with Miami. Jared Goff at 6.3 is worth considering for his price in a home game.
Bijon Robinson is an elite play at running back
Bijon Robinson at 7.7 is a solid cash play with his receiving floor and a favorable matchup against Carolina. He should be in your player pool.
Dave Montgomery and Miles Gaskin provide good value at running back
Dave Montgomery at 6.6 is a great value play against Carolina. He has a solid workload and goal-line opportunities. Miles Gaskin at 6.2 is an enticing option in a good matchup against the Giants.
Isaiah Pacheco and Breece Hall offer affordable running back options
Isaiah Pacheco at 5.7 is a solid option with a good team implied total. Breece Hall at 5.4 has a favorable matchup against the Broncos, but may not be suitable for cash.
Key Point 1: The Kansas City vs. Minnesota game is highly anticipated due to several factors
The Kansas City vs. Minnesota game is generating a lot of excitement for multiple reasons. Firstly, the Vikings have a weak secondary, which bodes well for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' passing attack. Additionally, the game is being played in a dome, typically favoring high-scoring offenses. Historically, teams facing the Chiefs have had to rely heavily on the passing game to keep up, and the Vikings have shown a willingness to do so in previous games. Overall, this game is expected to have a high-scoring and thrilling environment.
Key Point 2: The Indianapolis Colts have a favorable matchup for a potential offensive breakout
The Indianapolis Colts are primed for a breakout offensive performance this week. Despite recent struggles, early season games showed that the Colts were aggressive and pass-heavy. Facing the Tennessee Titans, who are strong against the run, provides an opportunity for the Colts to rely heavily on their passing game. If they can do so, they should be able to surpass their team implied total of 21.5 points. The presence of Shane Steichen, who is known for his analytics-driven approach, adds further confidence in the Colts' ability to exploit this matchup and have a strong offensive showing.
