MrBigChest'sWildRide win ifโ€ฆ

  1. Ride the matchup: Quinshon Judkins. Carolina allows the 3rd-highest rushing success rate.
  2. Check the injury report: Puka Nacua. Doubtful with hip/groin issues, didn't practice all week; surgery 'not entirely off the table' per Schefter.
  3. Contain Geno Smith. Detroit allows the most QB fantasy points, is down four defensive backs (Branch, Joseph, Maddox, Harper), and Smith is FantasyPros' DFS value play of the week โ€” Marnie's best path goes right through him.

Picks MrBigChest'sWildRide

Give me MrBigChest'sWildRide. Quinshon Judkins โ€” Carolina allows the 3rd-highest rushing success rate. Circle it, star it, whatever โ€” just start him. Michael Penix Jr. already banked ~12.0 points on Thursday (18/25 for 256 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT). And Marnie have a genuine problem: Terry McLaurin โ€” faces Seattle's No. 2 scoring defense with backup Marcus Mariota at QB. On paper it's Marnie by 15.6. On grass, I'm not so sure.

Picks Marnie

Marnie by 15.6. The projections and the matchups agree, which almost never happens. Geno Smith โ€” Detroit allows the most QB fantasy points, is down four defensive backs (Branch, Joseph, Maddox, Harper), and Smith is FantasyPros' DFS value play of the week. MrBigChest'sWildRide's side of the sheet is uglier: Denzel Boston โ€” draws Jaycee Horn, one of the league's best corners โ€” an explicit RotoBaller sit call.
