5. Jaxson Dart ($5,700) & Wan’Dale Robinson ($5,300), Giants at Bears
Dart has been impressive so far in his rookie season. Has the volume been robust? It has not, but he has thrown over 30 passes in a game three times with a high of 40. The passing yardage hasn’t been prolific either, having exceeded 200 yards only twice with a high of 283. That said, he’s thrown only three interceptions to 10 touchdowns while rushing for five touchdowns. As a result, he’s put up at least 18 FPTS in every game with three over 20 and a high of 29.4 FPTS. Chicago has intercepted 13 passes, but the Bears’ defense has allowed 20 touchdowns and a 71% completion percentage. Da Bears have allowed the seventh-most FPTS on average to quarterbacks this season.
Robinson has a low aDOT but he leads the Giants with 68 targets. Tight end Theo Johnson is second with 43. Robinson received 11 targets last week and has two other games with double-digit targets.
4. Sam Darnold ($5,800) & Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($8,600), Seahawks vs. Cardinals
Darnold is coming off a game in which he went 21-of-24 for 330 yards with four touchdowns and an interception, good for 31.2 FPTS. Back in Week 5, he finished with 31.6 FPTS against the Buccaneers, so he’s shown the ability to hit a ceiling outcome. That said, he’s produced fewer than 20 FPTS five times, so the floor is low and he went for 16.1 FPTS when he faced the Cardinals back in Week 4. But that was many weeks ago and this game is at home.
Smith-Njigba is expensive, but for good reasons. He’s fourth in the NFL with 79 targets and he’s put up at least 20 FPTS in all but one game this season. The low on the season is 13 FPTS while he’s gone over 30 FPTS twice.
3. Baker Mayfield ($6,200) & Emeka Egbuka ($7,000), Buccaneers vs. Patriots
This game has a healthy total of 48.5 and a spread of only 2.5 points. Points are expected to be scored while being a competitive affair. In addition, both teams have excellent run defenses, so the action should be tilted toward the air, which should provide more snaps and opportunities for fantasy goodies. Now, Mayfield hasn’t been particularly great for fantasy this season, putting up fewer than 20 FPTS in all but two games, but when pushed, he went for 29.7 FPTS against a tough Seahawks defense. I think Maye and the Patriots could push Mayfield in this one.
Egbuka is the target hog due to all the injuries, leading the team with 63 on the season. Over the last two games, he’s garnered nine and 12 targets. The matchup isn’t great because Christian Gonzalez will likely be matched up against him often, but Egbuka moves around the formation and Mayfield will pepper him with targets regardless.
2. Drake Maye ($6,400) & Stefon Diggs ($5,800), Patriots at Buccaneers
Maye has been very good this season, leading the league with a 74.1% completion percentage. He’s thrown 17 touchdowns with only four interception while rushing 59 times for 270 yards and two touchdowns. The 116.9 quarterback rating is also tops in the league. Maye has put up double-digit FPTS in every contest with six outings over 20 FPTS. The Buccaneers’ run defense is one of the best, so the path of least resistance is through the air and Mike Vrabel is too smart to bang his head against a brick wall. In addition, there’s a good chance that Mayfield puts up some points in this one.
Diggs only has an aDOT of 8.4 but he leads the team with 53 targets. He has nine red-zone opportunites, third on the team behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. A ceiling game is unlikely from Diggs, but he did catch 10 of 12 targets for 146 yards back in Week 5. If this becomes a back-and-forth affair, then that outcome is well within the range of outcomes. On the season, Diggs has finished with double-digit FPTS six times.
1. Matthew Stafford ($6,500) & Puka Nacua ($8,700), Rams at 49ers
Stafford has put up at least 25 FPTS four times with a high of 30.4 FPTS. Back in Week 5 against the 49ers, Stafford went 30-of-47 for 389 yards and three touchdowns. The second game between division rivals often plays towards the lower-scoring end, but the 49ers’ defense is dead-last in pressure rate and has allowed the eighth-highest EPA per dropback. In addition, the 49ers are at home and still have talent on offense, so they could put up some points to keep the Rams aggressive while the total is a healthy 49.5 points.
Nacua suffered a chest injury last week, but he practiced fully on Thursday and should be good to go. Nacua leads the Rams with 73 targets despite missing two games. He has four games with double-digit targets and should get peppered once again. He’s put up at least 20 FPTS in all but one game with a high of 39 FPTS.
