OwnersBox Quarterback Picks
On OwnersBox, you have the option of starting two quarterbacks as this is a Superflex contest.
Carson Wentz, PHI ($6,500) - vs JAX
The Jags allow the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
That includes last week's weird game against the Bills though. The Jaguars defense isn't suddenly good -- it just had a good game. This is still the team that let Geno Smith throw two touchdowns. The team that got torn up by Tyrod Taylor.
And Wentz has thrown multiple TDs in all but two games this year. He's thrown six TDs over his past two games, and he's even started running a tiny bit more. Good value here.
Mason Rudolph, PIT ($4,300) - vs DET
Things got interesting in Pittsburgh, as Ben Roethlisberger was ruled out on Saturday because of COVID-19. That should leave Mason Rudolph as the team's starting QB.
And Rudolph isn't, umm, good, but he did have his first 300-yard game in his most recent start. He can put some numbers up if the defense he's facing has some holes.
This week's defense? Oh, it has the holes.
Detroit allows 19.3 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks despite opposing teams throwing the ball just 222 times against the team, the lowest number in the league. That's been because opponents could go up big on Detroit then lean on the run, but Rudolph's mediocre-ness should mean Pittsburgh has to throw throughout this game.
OwnersBox Running Back Picks
Javonte Williams, DEN ($5,300) - vs PHI
Javonte Williams is 38th among running backs in snap share and opportunity share, but is making the most of the touches he does get. He's coming off his best game of the year, with 17 carries for 111 yards. He only has two total TDs this year, but Williams has seen his role continue to grow.
This week, he gets a Philly team allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to the running back position.
Having to share time with Melvin Gordon does suck, but Williams looks like the better of the two. A good value option if you don't want to pay for a top running back.
Brandon Bolden, NE ($4,700) - vs CLE
Damien Harris is out. Rhamondre Stevenson will likely be as well. J.J. Taylor is J.J. Taylor.
Brandon Bolden is going to see a lot of work this week against a Browns team that has allowed four receiving scores to running backs.
The veteran back has five career receiving touchdowns, including one this year. He's on track for his best year as a receiver.
Bolden should see a snap rate of 50-plus percent, with double-digit touches. I like the value you get based on that kind of usage.
OwnersBox Wide Receiver Picks
Michael Pittman Jr., IND ($6,600) - vs JAX
Stack time: we're taking our Carson Wentz and we're giving him Michael Pittman Jr. He's had 17 or more OB points in four of the last five games, and has four touchdown catches in the past three contests.
His target numbers have been all over the place, but he has three games this year with double-digit targets, including a big 15-target game against the Titans.
Jacksonville has allowed the 10th-most receiving yards to the wide receiver position.
Tyler Johnson, TB ($3,700) - vs WAS
The Bucs are without Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski this week and have a chance to be without Chris Godwin. That leaves Mike Evans and ???
Maybe that "???" is Tyler Johnson?
In Week 8, Johnson was targeted six times, catching five passes for 65 yards against the Saints. This week, he faces a Washington defense that allows the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Maybe a Tom Brady/Tyler Johnson stack could be something that pays off for you?
