Top Game Targets
Patriots at Bengals
- TreVeyon Henderson emerges as the favorite play against Cincinnati’s porous run defense (allowing 186 total yards per game to RBs).
- Drake Maye offers QB upside from a clean pocket (9 yards per attempt, 16 TDs when not under pressure).
- The Bengals defense is strong against WRs but vulnerable to RBs and TEs; Tee Higgins remains viable despite no Ja’Marr Chase.
Giants at Lions
- Detroit stacking is the preferred tournament approach with Lions as heavy favorites (10.5-point spread).
- Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Jameson Williams all in play; Williams now features more crossing routes under Dan Campbell.
- Jahmyr Gibbs stands out at RB given limited elite options.
- Jaxson Dart provides contrarian QB value if he returns, with rushing upside against a poor Giants run defense.
Eagles at Cowboys
- Volatility warning: Lane Johnson’s absence significantly impacts Philadelphia’s offense (4.2 vs 5.4 yards per play).
- Jalen Hurts projected as cash game QB on DraftKings despite concerns about the Eagles’ offensive creativity.
- CeeDee Lamb is the preferred receiving option due to slot versatility against Eagles secondary.
