PASS HAPPY
Tampa Bay (vs. SFO): Well, we’re back to having Jameis Winston throw passes for the Bucs, as Ryan Fitzpatrick has lost his mojo. The Bucs showed some semblance of a run game last week, but expecting Winston to throw the ball a ton against the Niners. Expect Mike Evans to have a big effort, and DeSean Jackson is worth a start. Not sure if Adam Humphries and Winston have much of a rapport so Humphries will be a risky start. Cameron Brate fills in for O.J. Howard after Howard found his way to the IR. Great Starts: Winston and Evans Good Starts: Jackson, Brate Risky PPR Play: Humphries
Indianapolis (vs. MIA): Miami gives up a ton of passing love on the road and Andrew Luck hasn’t thrown for less than 3 scores since Week 3. He’s almost assured of 3 scores, maybe 4, and upwards of 275-300 yards. T.Y. Hilton is the safest WR play, other than that we’d contemplate playing Dontrelle Inman, whose seen 17 targets in the past three games. Jack Doyle is a safe PPR TE play, and Eric Ebron is worth a play just based on the thin nature of the TE position. Great Starts: Luck, Hilton Good Starts: Inman, Doyle and Ebron
RUN HAPPY
Dallas (vs. WAS): The Skins actually have a solid run D (giving up the 11th-fewest amount of fantasy points to RBs), but on Thanksgiving Day, the stars come out. You know Zeke likes to “eat”, and he should be doing plenty of it tomorrow. His activity in the pass game makes him even tastier in PPR formats. Great Start: Elliott
LA Chargers (vs. ARI): If there’s a RB that’s almost assured of breaking the century mark rushing-wise, it’s Melvin Gordon. The Cardinals allow a ton of rushing yards and scores to RBs. Austin Ekeler hasn’t been as involved of late, but could be a desperate PPR play. Great Start: Gordon Dice Roll PPR Play: Ekeler
