Musical masterpieces take us on a winding journey with various subplots as they gradually build to a furious climax. That appears to be the case with Week 15’s NFL slate. With Vegas’ high total games all beginning in the late window, this Sunday feels like a Thanksgiving turkey, all the good stuff got crammed into the end.
This is my way of saying to prepare for late swap madness. Read StatATL’s stuff and make some roster clones will the sole purpose of roster tweaking during the 4th quarter of the early games. Gotta grab any little edge we can!
We’re always hunting for those high-ceiling combinations to add to our existing game stacks. It’s better to aim at getting four things right instead of trying to hit a nine-way parlay. I’ll lean on a handful of core secondary stacks that will be finessed into lineups whenever feasible.
I have a feeling these guys are both going to get steamed before lock but Cook at 4.9% and Ferguson at 5.2% feels like a great way to get correlative pieces from this game environment, with touchdown equity, without blowing your wad.
WHAT IF the touchdowns come through these dudes? This duo could factor into optimal lineups without their expensive quarterbacks necessarily qualifying.
If you are really feeling frisky, we could swap out Cook for Gabe Davis and hope for one of Gabe’s unpredictable blowup games.
On FanDuel, Ferguson will be more popular, so I’ll look at replacing him with Brandin Cooks (1.9%) if he’s healthy.
Mike Evans has performed way too well to be projected at only 3.7% ownership. If we think Jordan Love stacks are going to pose any type of threat to those in the afternoon games, they’ll need Tampa Bay’s offense to push them to play with a bit more urgency. The Bucs offense is very concentrated on Rachaad White and Evans, especially with Chris Godwin dinged. White has a nice expected median outcome due to his voluminous role, but Evans is the one who can blow the lid off any given game.
Jayden Reed is expected to have a featured role in this one and he’ll be utilized in a variety of ways. He’s also $400 cheaper than teammate Romeo Doubs. However, the ownership difference (Reed 30%, Doubs 2.5%) does not reflect the probability of each of these players finding their ceiling. Reed has been awesome, and I’ll be playing him plenty, but football is weird, and touchdowns are extremely volatile. If we need a contrarian addition in a certain build, Doubs is a classic leverage piece.
WHAT IF this game shoots out but the end zone targets vacated by Christian Watson go to Romeo Doubs?
This pairing is aimed more at FanDuel where these players are both micro-owned and touchdown hunting is of the highest priority.
It’s Henry’s time of year and he’s playing the one team he seems to destroy annually. At 3% projected ownership, I’ll be eating some salary to be contrarian.
If Houston is going to be productive, they’ll likely need players like Schultz to step up with Tank Dell out, Nico Collins unlikely to suit up, and Noah Brown questionable.
The Titans are vulnerable against the pass (29th DVOA). Texans have injuries everywhere and a backup quarterback. We could expect some short fields and increased play volume for Tennessee, and some early desperation for Houston.
