UPDATE: It was announced on Friday afternoon that the Raiders-Browns game has been postponed until Monday due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Stay tuned for any changes with players being active and passing COVID-19 protocols in time for Monday.
Patriots @ Colts: More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Jonathan Taylor more 20.5 fantasy points and Mac Jones more than 17.5 fantasy points
Everyone knows the Patriots like to take away your best weapon on offense, but trying to stop Jonathan Taylor is not going to be easy for this defense. Over the previous five weeks, he has averaged nearly 140 rushing yards per game and has put the ball in the end zone a ridiculous 11 times. He has also averaged three receptions per game, which is great due to the PPR format that MKF plays. The Patriots have also allowed over 115 rushing yards and over three receptions per game to running backs over the previous four weeks.
Mac Jones is going to have to sling the ball a bit in this game as the Colts are allowing just 84 rushing yards per game to running backs over the previous four weeks. They are, however, allowing nearly 18 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks on the season. Jones was also averaging nearly 19 fantasy points per game over his previous three games prior to the Buffalo game in which he attempted just three passes.

Patriots @ Colts: Touchdown Dance Contest
UPDATE: Damien Harris has officially been ruled out. Rhamondre Stevenson is strong option instead.
Recommended Prop Pick:
Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr., and Damien Harris to combine for more than 1.5 touchdowns
This contest starts and may end with Taylor. He is an absolute beast when it comes to punching the ball in the end zone. As aforementioned, he has 11 total touchdowns over his previous 5 games and has also punched in 18 total touchdowns on the season. He may be able to score two himself in this one and put you over the top.
Pittman is the next choice. Although the Patriots' defense has been stout, they have allowed two touchdowns to wide receivers over their previous three games and Pittman is the most targeted wide receiver for the Colts. Although he has not scored in the Colts' previous four games, he had four touchdowns in the three games before that and has still seen a solid target share with over seven targets per game.
Damien Harris has scored in seven of the Patriots' last eight games. Let that sink in for a second. He is averaging over 14 carries per game across that span as well as nearly 73 rushing yards per game. He will now be facing a Colts defense that has allowed five touchdowns to running backs over their previous three games.
