Quarterbacks
Chalk: Drew Brees ($8,500). Brees had 439 yards and three scores against the Buccaneers in Week 1, and on the season as a whole, Tampa has given up the fourth-most fantasy points per dropback. The Saints/Bucs game has the highest over/under of the week (55.5).
Chalk: Ben Roethlisberger ($8,600). Roethlisberger and the Steelers are 10.5-point favorites against the Raiders, who have given up the most fantasy points per dropback to quarterbacks. It’s a road game, but that won’t slow Roethlisberger in this matchup.
Contrarian: Matt Ryan ($8,200). The Packers/Falcons over/under continues to rise, and as of this writing, it’s at 50.5. (PFF projects 53 total points.) Ryan has a high ceiling in this matchup and projected ownership under 5%.
