Usually, I shy away from pairing Brady with a wide receiver because he spreads the ball out so much but Antonio Brown could miss this game due to COVID-19 protocols. That said, I just think Brady is too good and the offense is humming that I will side the lofty total of 55 points in this game. In addition, the Rams can generate inside pressure, which has been the Achilles’ heel for Tom Brady in the past. I’ve gone back and forth on this game because both teams have good defenses and the Rams can be run on. Tom Brady ($6,800)/Chris Godwin ($6,100), Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Los Angeles Rams The Seahawks are primarily a zone defense team.Ģ. Thielen is much better against zone defenses while Justin Jefferson torches man coverage. In Week 2, the Vikings faced the Cardinals, who play a ton of man. The Week 1 game was against the Bengals, who played a ton of zone. Thielen caught nine of 10 targets for 92 touchdowns and two touchdowns in the first game then caught six of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the second one. ![]() To open the season, Cousins has attempted 49 and 32 passes and thrown for two and three touchdowns. That said, things should eventually open up with Russell Wilson and Cousins exchanging haymakers. Seattle is seventh in rush defense while the Vikings are 24th. Both teams would prefer to lean on the run games, so a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair is well within the range of outcomes. This game has a total of 55 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, tied with the Buccaneers-Rams game for the most on the slate. Kirk Cousins ($6,300)/Adam Thielen ($6,700), Minnesota Vikings vs. Now Russell Gage is out for Sunday, which condenses the target tree even more.ģ. He and Kyle Pitts are the only receivers on the team with over 10 targets on the season. Ridley has received eight and 10 targets in the first two games. The Giants' offense should be able to score points in this one. ![]() Dean Pees is a respected defensive mind, and he will make this unit better, but it’s going to take time. ![]() The Falcons’ defense is dead-last in pass rush and 27th in coverage. Part of that is due to the 24th-ranked rushing offense according to PFF, but most of it has to do with the 28th-ranked defense. The Falcons are seventh in passing play percentage at 65.41%. And I think that has a good chance of happening, despite the horrific-looking nature of the Falcons’ offense in the early going. Matt Ryan ($5,400)/Calvin Ridley ($7,000), Atlanta Falcons at New York Giantsįor Jones and Shepard to reach their ceiling, Ryan and Ridley must do their part. There is the added bonus of the rushing prowess from Jones, who has 15 carries and 122 yards with two touchdowns on the ground.Ĥ. This is a cheap stack that could be low-owned in a game that could go back and forth. According to PFF, Shepard has an offensive grade of 76.3 compared to 60.2 for Oliver. Shepard runs 73% of his routes from the slot, which is where Isaiah Oliver defends. ![]() His main target has been Sterling Shepard, who has received nine and 10 targets while catching seven and nine of those respectively for 113 and 94 yards. Jones has attempted 37 and 32 passes in the first two games, so somewhere in the 30s should be expected again. If the Falcons put up points, which I think is well within the range of outcomes, then the Giants will have to open things up. If Jason Garrett has his way, he’d turtle up and watch the molasses flow by. This game only has a 47.5 total according to DraftKings Sportsbook, but it has sneaky shootout potential. Daniel Jones ($5,800)/Sterling Shepard ($5,900), New York Giants vs.
