Core Plays
New York Jets: RB Breece Hall
- If the Jets are going to stay in this game, and I think they will because they’re frauds, Hall is going to have to be a major part of controlling the game. Hall has shown that he is incredibly efficient when he gets the ball recording 21, 21, and 31 DK points over his last three games on 18, 17, and 25 touches. Hall is dangerous in the running and passing game making his upside immense against a defense that has had trouble with pass catching running backs since Brandon Staley has been there.
Los Angeles Chargers: QB Justin Herbert
- Despite the horrific coaching for the Chargers Herbert has been great this season recording 20 or more DK points in all but one game. The Jets pass defense will be a tough task but there should be enough volume here to look to Herbert as a showdown lineup anchor.
*NOTE: All plays above are obviously “Captain” viable
Captain Plays
RB Austin Ekeler (LAC)
- For as tough as the Jets defense has been, they’re run defense has been one of the worst in the league as far as rushing yards allowed per game (144.9) goes and Ekeler is a weapon as we all know both running and catching the ball. With Keenan Allen the “lone survivor” at receiver with Mike Williams and now Josh Palmer out, Look for Allen to be in a tough matchup all day and for Ekeler to expose the Jets in the middle of the field.
Others to consider:
- WR Garrett Wilson (NYJ)
- WR Keenan Allen (LAC)
Flex Plays
Los Angeles Chargers: WR Quentin Johnston
- Johnston is getting forced into a more prominent role with the injuries for the Chargers and he’s incredibly cheap on this slate. For the sole purpose of trying to get some of the higher-priced players in, Johnston should be considered.
Others to consider:
- TE Gerald Everrett (LAC)
- QB Zach Wilson (NYJ)
- TE Tyler Conklin (NYJ)
- RB Joshua Kelley (LAC)
- WR Allen Lazard (NYJ)
- TE Donald Parham (LAC)
GOOD LUCK!
