Mike Johnson (MJohnson86) has racked up over $500,000 in DFS profit as an NFL tournament player with success in all styles of contests
Quarterback ::
JJ McCarthy – A sub-$7k dual threat quarterback at home, in a dome, facing easily the worst defense he has seen all season. Clear stacking partners.
Brock Purdy – We get Purdy returning to the field in a great matchup against a Cardinals defense he should have success against with all his playmakers on the field. The 49ers defense is in shambles, so expect Purdy to have to keep scoring all game.
Justin Herbert – The Chargers go as Herbert goes. Jacksonville’s defense is good enough against the run and susceptible in the middle of the field to make Herbert stacks very appealing for tournaments.
Running Back::
Rico Dowdle – This matchup is perfect for Dowdle’s downhill physical style as the Falcons are built to rush the passer but can be bullied up front. Expect 22 to 25 touches from Dowdle with upside for more.
Josh Jacobs – Another elite matchup we are targeting with the Giants run defense that has been hammered all season. Jacobs should be the focal point of Green Bay’s offense and 100+ rushing yards with multiple touchdowns seems like a strong bet.
Jaylen Warren – Warren is the feature back for the team facing the Bengals. If we just play that blindly every week, we are coming out ahead.
Chase Brown – Last season Brown was dominant when he got the bell cow role and barely left the field for the Bengals. This is a massive game for Cincinnati and Samaje Perine is out, so Brown is a near-lock for a 90% snap share and 20+ touches.
Aaron Jones Sr. – The Vikings are another team in desperate need of a victory this week in a key divisional matchup. The matchup is elite and Jones is clearly the lead back.
RJ Harvey – The explosive and dynamic Harvey is in position to potentially have his own “TreVeyon Henderson-like” breakout in a huge divisional game.
