Afffordable Passing Offense Faces Weak Passing Defense
Jacksonville like to run the ball behind Leonard Fournette, who has the sixth-most rushing attempts in the league, but this week they face a Tampa defense that is strong against the rush (only the Jets allow fewer rushing yards per game) and weak against the pass (only the Cardinals allow more passing yards per game). That means we could see the Jags shift to the pass in this game behind Nick Foles and his DFS-salary-friendly WRs. Foles, Dede Westbrook, and Chris Conley cost only $19,200 on FanDuel and $15,200 on DraftKings, making an affordable stack that allow you to fit in more expensive options elsewhere.

Drew Lock Likely to Start Sunday
Lock has reportedly played well enough in practice this week to get the start Sunday. The rookie QB has not played yet this season.
As reported by: Ian Rapoport Unrivaled Floor-Ceiling Combination
I jumped off the CMac bandwagon last week due to lack of value and unsurprisingly he continued to dominate with 133 total yards, 2 touchdowns, and nine receptions. Despite his massive price tag, CMC is firmly back in play this week with an abundance of value options and he gets a tremendous home matchup against the Washington Redskins. Washington is below-average in every major defensive statistical category and rank 29th in adjusted yard lines. McCaffrey has the highest fantasy floor-ceiling combination on a weekly basis and is someone you should grab exposure to in all formats.
