5. Bryce Young ($5,700) & Jalen Coker ($5,900), Panthers at Eagles

Carolina had their bye last week, so Young may be off many people’s minds. Out of sight, out of mind. But Young has been very good to start the season, completing 62.3% of his passes for 1,268 yards, nine touchdowns and only two interceptions. He leads the NFL with 317 passing yards per game. Now he gets Coker back, who was injured in Week 3. Before that, the receiver caught eight of nine targets in both games and racked up 138 yards with two touchdowns in the season opener. I don’t mind the stack with Tetairoa McMillan either, but he costs $1,400 more.

The Eagles’ pass defense has been brutal this season, allowing the NFL’s seventh-most pass yards per game (238.8). Philadelphia is blitzing at the third-lowest rate, while its pressure rate is the seventh-worst. The team has only racked up six sacks, the third-fewest.

4. Jameis Winston ($5,100) & Malik Nabers ($6,500), Giants vs. Saints

Winston’s first two games were rough, as he replaced Jaxson Dart against the Rams, and Week 3 was wet and soggy. We got the full Winston experience in Week 4: three touchdowns and two interceptions. But last week against Washington, Winston went 33-for-54 for 326 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Granted, he was putrid in the first half, but adjusted and led the comeback in the second half. Winston is always volatile, but he looks more comfortable in the system now. And it doesn’t hurt that he has star receiver Malik Nabers to throw to. Last week, Winston peppered Nabers with 20 targets.

New Orleans is 29th in pressure rate despite blitzing at the ninth-highest rate. The Saints have allowed the fourth-highest completion percentage (70.6%) and passer rating (106.7), recording just one interception.

3. Caleb Williams ($6,200) & Luther Burden III ($5,400), Bears at Falcons

Williams suffered a Grade 2 hamstring injury in Week 2, but he fully participated in Thursday’s practice and is likely to return for this one. Williams had an exceptional Week 1 before struggling in rainy conditions against a tough Vikings defense. The Bears offense has flashed tremendous potential; this game will likely tilt toward the air attack because Atlanta has been good at stopping the run, while the Falcons offense should put points on the board. Per DraftKings Sportsbook, the game has an inflated total of 51.5 points and a tight 1.5-point spread.

Burden leads the Bears with 35 targets, but he’s scored only once and hasn’t eclipsed 63 yards. It seems like only a matter of time. Atlanta’s pass defense has allowed nine touchdowns and only one interception.

2. Michael Penix Jr. ($5,000) & Drake London ($7,000), Falcons vs. Bears

Penix has been solid since returning to action, posting double-digit FPTS in all three contests. But he hasn’t been great, failing to reach 20 FPTS in any contest and throwing only one touchdown in each. The Falcons’ rushing attack dominated the first two games, limiting Penix’s scoring opportunities. Last week, they faced a tough Ravens defense. The run game could dominate again, as the Bears’ run defense hasn’t been good.

That said, this game could go back and forth, and a 1.5-point spread suggests the Falcons likely won’t be able to clam up and ground and pound all day.

In the first two games with Cooper Rush under center, London got no more than five targets each time and failed to hit double-digit FPTS in both contests. Since Penix returned, London has been peppered with 10, six and 11 targets, converting those into 31.4, 14.6 and 21.8 FPTS.

Chicago’s pass defense has allowed six passing touchdowns with three interceptions. The Bears rank 15th in QB completion percentage (63.8%) and 22nd in passer rating (97.7). Last week, Jordan Love eviscerated them through the air for 367 yards and two touchdowns.

1. Matthew Stafford ($6,400) & Puka Nacua ($8,100), Rams vs. Cardinals

Stafford leads the NFL in completions (139), attempts (216), yards (1,572) and first downs (78). Last week against Buffalo, he went 40-for-54 for 383 yards and three touchdowns. Stafford has attempted over 50 passes in three straight weeks. Nacua has caught nine and 17 passes over the last two weeks for 30.7 and 40.7 FPTS, respectively.

LA’s run game is taking precedence, and the 12.5-point spread creates definite blowout risk. That said, Stafford went 22-for-31 with 327 yards and four touchdowns in the team’s Week 2 blowout win over the Giants.

Arizona has allowed 14 passing touchdowns — tied for the most in the NFL — with only three interceptions. The Cardinals rank 31st in passer rating (117.2) and dead last in yards per reception (14.3).

The volume may not be there for Stafford, but the efficiency likely will. If Arizona can somehow put up points, then a ceiling outcome is in play.
