Mike Johnson (MJohnson86) has racked up nearly $500,000 in DFS profit as an NFL tournament player with success in all styles of contests
Quarterback ::
Josh Allen – Super Josh, engaged.
Lamar Jackson // Joe Burrow – The cold weather isn’t really a concern for me. These two teams played in two shootouts last season and would have had another on Thanksgiving if not for a couple of fluky plays sabotaging the Ravens scoring.
Jared Goff // Matthew Stafford – Potentially the game of the year. These pocket passers both have paths to a 30-point game and we know with a high degree of certainty which pass catchers they will bring with them if they do.
Marcus Mariota – Rushing ability and matchup provides a solid floor. There is a ceiling here as well in a quietly exciting game environment.
Running Back::
Christian McCaffrey – CMC has a high floor and a massive ceiling in this game as the 49ers are projected to score around 30 points, and he is the centerpiece of their offense. Receptions and big plays are on the table. Buckle up.
TreVeyon Henderson – Panic ensued after Henderson evenly split work with Rhamondre Stevenson on Monday night of Week 13 against the Giants. However, the Patriots controlled that game the whole way and had a Week 14 bye, while this week they face the Bills in a massive AFC East showdown. I expect Henderson to be the main guy this week and he has a massive ceiling against this Bills run defense.
Woody Marks – Elite workload and great matchup at modest salary.
Travis Etienne Jr. – Seems to have taken over the bell cow role at this point and left Tuten in the dust. The matchup is solid and the team is a big favorite against a Jets team with a third-string QB. The biggest concern would be touchdowns going to other players early and the team preserving him late.
Jahmyr Gibbs – Elite talent in a potentially wild game environment. Gibbs should also have relatively modest ownership on Fanduel because he is priced above CMC.
