OwnersBox Quarterback Picks
On OwnersBox, you have the option of starting two quarterbacks as this is a Superflex contest.
Taylor Heinicke, WFT ($5,900) - vs DAL
Heinicke and the Washington Football Team will take on the Dallas Cowboys in one of the highest totals on the board at 48.5. Heinicke has averaged nearly 17 fantasy points per game over his previous four games and should be a solid value in this game. He will be facing a Cowboys defense that has allowed an average of over 243 passing yards per game to quarterbacks over their previous four games, which ranks ninth-worst in the league over that span. The WFT is also a four-point underdog in this game, so we could see some extra pass attempts from Heinicke as well.
Dak Prescott , DAL ($7,500) - at WFT
Let's go ahead and stay in the same game here with Dak as he has scored over 30 fantasy points in two of his previous four games. The WFT has allowed the fifth-most passing yards to quarterbacks this season while also allowing the fewest rushing yards to running backs. This sets up perfectly for a big game from Dak.
OwnersBox Running Back Picks
Austin Ekeler, LAC ($7,500) - vs NYG
Ekeler has averaged over 22 fantasy points per game over his previous four games. He will be facing a Giants defense that has allowed the seventh-most rushing yards to running backs on the season. The Chargers will also enter this game as double-digit favorites, so Ekeler should see plenty of additional carries. The Chargers could also be without their star wide receiver, Keenan Allen, which will also increase Ekeler's volume.
Javonte Williams, DEN ($6,100) - vs DET
Williams had an outstanding performance last week against the Chiefs after he was forced into the lead-back role with Melvin Gordon being injured. He ran for over 100 yards and also hauled in six receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown. Now, he will get to face a Lions defense that has allowed an average of over 26 fantasy points per game to the running back position, which ranks fourth-worst in the league. Even if Gordon does suit up, Williams should be the focal point of this offense moving forward and the matchup does not get much better than this.
OwnersBox Wide Receiver Picks
Michael Gallup, DAL ($5,300) - at WFT
In the wide receiver section this week, we are going to stack up with our quarterbacks mentioned above. While I would certainly love to get CeeDee Lamb in here, his price is just a bit too much to fit into the lineup. That being said, Michael Gallup could prove to be of great value as he has averaged eight targets per game since returning from injury. He has a solid matchup in this one as the WFT has allowed the fifth-most yards to wide receivers on the season and has also allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers on the season by allowing an average of just under 40 per game.
Terry McLaurin, WFT ($6,200) - vs DAL
McLaurin has seen at least seven targets in all but one game this season, and with Logan Thomas set to miss time again, his targets are likely to creep up once again. This comes just in time for a matchup against the Cowboys, who are allowing an average of nearly 35 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over their previous four games. Given that the WFT could be trailing late in this game, McLaurin makes sense as the top target to help keep them in the game and could be in line for a big game.
