Quarterbacks
Chalk: Patrick Mahomes ($9,500). Despite the absurd price tag, we still project Mahomes to be the highest-owned quarterback of the slate. Mahomes is a great play in any game environment, but you have to really like him at 14.5-point favorites in a game with the highest over/under on the slate (55.5).
Chalk: Cam Newton ($8,700). With over 23 FanDuel points in seven games this year, Newton has a high floor and an even higher ceiling. His matchup against the Buccaneers, who have given up the second-most fantasy points per dropback to quarterbacks, makes him an even easier play this week.
