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::
Patrick Mahomes // Josh Allen – It is a very high probability that this game has a lot of scoring and these two are the engines of their offenses. All bets are off if things get competitive in the second half. The Chiefs are likely to score a lot of points against the Bills defense, and Josh Allen is likely to keep them in it.
Daniel Jones – An elite spot for this offense and Jones is the clear and direct beneficiary if JT doesn’t take all of the touchdowns this week.
Caleb Williams – I think this might be the week that Ben Johnson cuts him loose and he posts one of those monster games that we would randomly see from Jared Goff in past seasons.
Running Back::
Kyle Monangai – The matchup and game environment couldn’t be much better, and Monangai is likely to have a huge workload with multiple Bears RBs inactive. At this price, we don’t overthink it.
TreVeyon Henderson – A talented and explosive running back, Henderson finally gets his chance to shine.
Jaylen Warren – Warren is in a terrific game environment this week and is the player this coaching staff and Aaron Rodgers trust the most.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. – Tracy has averaged 4.5 yards per carry over the last two games against two elite defenses. He now has the feature back role in a matchup with a struggling and depleted defense, while at a modest salary.
Kareem Hunt – A $4,700 lead back in a high-scoring game environment, likely at low ownership. I don’t usually entertain players like Hunt who lack explosive ability and rely on touchdowns, but the spot here is pretty clean.
Kimani Vidal – Elite matchup, game environment, and volume. Has shown to be a talented and sometimes explosive player.
Jonathan Taylor // Christian McCaffrey – These two are elite options from a raw scoring perspective, but salaries make them tough to stomach with all the value now on the slate. However, that value also makes it far easier to fit one of these two in your lineup and get a high probability of a 30-point game.
