Quarterbacks

The Commanders haven't punted in two weeks and Jayden Daniels just put on an exceptional performance on Monday Night Football in just his third ever NFL start. Daniels completed 21 of 23 passes for 254 yards and 2 touchdowns and added 39 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground on 12 rushes. The dual-threat star now gets a Cardinals defense that ranks 24th in EPA/Play Allowed and 27th in Dropback EPA Allowed in the game with the highest Over/Under (50.5) of the week.

Andy Dalton lit it up last week in his first start, throwing for 319 yards and 3 touchdowns. He's in a fantastic spot at home against a Bengals defense that ranks 28th in EPA/Play Allowed and 26th in Dropback EPA Allowed.

Running Backs

Saquon Barkley leads the NFL in opportunities per game (24.7) and ranks second in total yards per game (134.7) and tied for first in total touchdowns (5). The Buccaneers defense ranks 28th in Rush EPA Allowed.

*Alvin Kamara is questionable. His status must be monitored.* He ranks second in opportunities per game (24), first in total yards per game (139), and tied for first in total touchdowns (5). He has a decent matchup against a Falcons defense that ranks 20th in EPA/Play Allowed and 21st in Rush EPA Allowed.

In Andy Dalton's first start last week Chuba Hubbard saw 26 opportunities and put up 169 total yards. Both of those would lead the league if averaged out over the first three weeks. Hubbard is a talented player and is now playing within a competent offense. He's at home against a Bengals defense that ranks 28th in EPA/Play Allowed and 29th in Rush EPA Allowed. Priced at just $5,700, Hubbard is a cash game flag plant this week and is in play in tournaments as well.

Jordan Mason ranks third in the NFL in opportunities per game (23.7) and fourth in total yards per game (114.7). The 49ers are ten-point home favorites. The Patriots defense ranks 23rd in EPA/Play Allowed.

Kyren Williams' 116 total yards and 3 total touchdown performance last week should not have surprised anyone. Williams led the entire NFL in opportunities per game (23), ranked third in total yards per game (112.5), and ranked third in total touchdowns (15) last season. Williams is an incredible running back who ranked 11th in yards after contact per attempt (3.34), fourth in missed tackles forced (rushing + receiving) per game (4.5), eighth in explosive runs (10+ Yard Runs) (26), eighth in rush yards over expected per attempt (+0.49), and 15th in PFF Elusive Rating (69.3) in 2023. Without Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, Williams' projected workload is one of the highest and most stable in the league.

Jaylen Warren is out due to injury and Najee Harris already ranks eighth in opportunities per game (21.3). Harris offers bankable volume at an affordable $5,600 price tag in cash. The matchup doesn't look great on paper but it is important to note Colts' star defensive linemen DeForest Buckner is currently on Injured Reserve.
