Quarterbacks
Chalk: Ben Roethlisberger ($8,700). The Steelers/Saints game has the slate’s highest over/under at 53, and the Saints have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Roethlisberger’s home/road splits haven’t existed this year.
Chalk: Andrew Luck ($8,200). On paper, the Giants aren’t the easiest matchup; they’ve held opposing quarterbacks to one or no touchdowns in seven of their last eight. But as a 9ninepoint home favorite, Luck is going to be a popular play. We project him to be the second-highest-owned quarterback of the week.
