We are focusing in on fringe plays this week, but I doubt anyone can match last week’s Geno-Braelon Allen-Sadiq call, but here we go!
QUARTERBACK
Process Play: Daniel Jones
No better week to stream Daniel Jones getting a massive 25.5 implied point total against a pass funnel defense.
Chalk Stream: Marcus Mariota
You want passing game exposure to this Washington/Indianapolis game one way or the other. Mariota has even more mobility than Jones at this point in their respective careers, most recently evidenced by Mariota’s five rush attempts in Week 3.
Desperation Stream: Tyson Bagent
ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio is reporting that “as we hear it, Tyson Bagent has gotten the first-team reps so far this week.” Bagent has Keenum’s arm and Caleb’s legs and is one of the great under-the-radar QB spike week streamer plays of the year.
RUNNING BACK
Lock Button: Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is the engine of the Giants offense with Winston struggling and Tyrone Tracy banished. Skattebo posted close to a 20% target share last week. He should be very active in the passing game again this week as the Giants are staring at a healthy 22.5 implied points vs. Arizona.
Good Chalk: Braelon Allen
From last week: “Adonis Braelon Allen is the most talent RB2 in the league.” Now he is merely a very talent NFL RB1 bell cow. Fire up Allen with confidence this week.
Don’t forget to stash Isaiah Davis as an interesting desperation play, and short-term 1:1 handcuff.
Match-up Play: Bucky Irving
The 38.5 point total worries me, but the Packers are a giving up 139 rushing yards per game, and Jalon Daniels will often look to check it down to the running back in the flat in his first professional start. The Bucs are crucially at home this week, which makes playing Bucky much more palatable.
