What is your favorite correlation and why?
headChopper: Josh Hoover + 1 WR + Sawyer Robertson + 1 WR/TE – I like either of these QBs on their own, and I love them in a fully correlated game stack. Hoover has three legit WR options, and any of them can pop. Robertson also has several options to choose from, with my favorite being tight end Michael Trigg. This game has a real shot to turn into a shootout based on the offensive talent and the pace they should be playing at.
MrTuttle05: Taylen Green + pass-catchers – O’Mega Blake and his 30% target share this season is the obvious pairing, but this is also a week where you could see a spike in production for Raylen Sharpe and/or CJ Brown, who are both near minimum price.
stlcardinals84: Denzel Boston + Michigan RB – We need to keep a close eye on the status of Justice Haynes for Michigan. If he is a full go, he’s likely going to be under-owned. If he is out, we have an obvious value target in Jordan Marshall. With Michigan sitting as 6-point favorites, I like their running backs here. We can pair them up with a Washington passing-game component on the other side given that Washington may have to throw more than normal, and Boston is an elite tournament target that doesn’t break the bank and has some sneaky upside in this matchup. The Michigan defense isn’t nearly as strong as it was in the Harbaugh era.
Jordan Vanek: Marcel Reed + Mario Craver and/or KC Concepcion – This Arkansas defense has been awful, consistently giving up big fantasy performances to quarterbacks. CJ Carr, Brendon Lewis, and Trinidad Chambliss all had ceiling games against them this season. Arkansas also plays at a fast pace, which should force Reed to do more offensively, especially with Taylen Green putting pressure on the scoreboard. From a schematic standpoint, Arkansas relies heavily on man coverage – but they don’t have the corners to keep up with Craver or Concepcion.
Who is your favorite overall play when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc. and why?
