Quarterbacks
Chalk: Patrick Mahomes ($9,200). Mahomes will be the highest-owned quarterback of the week (17%) after hanging 22.86 DraftKings points on these Broncos (in Denver) in what was his “worst” game of the year. This go-round, the Broncos travel to Kansas City.
Chalk: Andrew Luck ($8,300). Luck has been on fire. He has four touchdowns in three of his last four games and over 300 yards in three of his four as well. The Raiders have given up multiple passing touchdowns in five of six games.
Contrarian: Eli Manning ($6,700). Manning could be one of the three lowest-owned quarterbacks of the week (0.5%), but this is a solid home matchup against the Redskins, who have given up the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.
Contrarian: Cam Newton ($8,100). Newton has a bad passing matchup against the Ravens — there’s no getting around this fact — but Newton’s legs always make him an interesting tournament option, especially when his ownership is lower (3% this week).
