Here are the Multiplier plays I’m looking at to play in this week’s $80K Redzone tournament.

QB – Call me crazy, but I’m looking to get leverage with Derek Carr 1.6x multiplier. I don’t expect Carr to have much ownership at all in a game that they could be playing their fair share of catch-up in. I like Carr even more of running back Josh Jacobs (currently QUESTIONABLE) sits out. A chalkier quarterback with same 1.6x multiplier might be Ryan Tannehill. Throwing for over 300 yards and 2 touchdowns, Tannehill was a refreshing replacement for Marcus Mariota in his first game as the Titans’ starter. He has a good matchup against Tampa Bay’s defense this week.

RB – Christian McCaffrey is back on the main slate after a two-week hiatus. McCaffrey has been a staple in winning lineups despite his low 1x multiplier. His matchup against the 49ers is tough this week, but we might be able to get him at lower ownership as a result. Ty Johnson is the obvious play as he replaces Kerryon Johnson for the Lions. Ty Johnson as big-play ability and will see a heavy dose of touches. He’s going to be one of the highest owned players of the week, but rightfully so. That 1.85x multiplier is tough to pass up.

WR – With news of Sanu’s departure, Calvin Ridley 1.7x multiplier sticks out like a sore thumb. Ridley has put up huge numbers before and he’ll be on the field more than ever. The only reason for trepidation is Matt Ryan health. If you’re playing Tannehill then go ahead and stack him with receiver Corey Davis 1.75x. Caught 6 of 7 targets for from Tannehill in their first game together. Davis turned those receptions into 80 yards and a touchdown.

TE – Tight end this week leaves a lot to be desired. In my Carr lineups I’ll go ahead and pair him with Darren Waller. If you want a larger multiplier with some touchdown opportunity go with Cameron Brate 1.85x. OJ Howard will be out; with Howard healthy, Brate already as 2 touchdowns for the year.
