So today I heard something a little strange and it was that if you get the Covid 19 vaccination it will change your DNA. Maybe that is why Aaron Rodgers insinuated he had received it. I mean I thought about this and if it changes my DNA wouldn’t that make me a mutant?
That could be kind of cool right? Maybe I could get spider power, or be able to control the weather. I could make uniforms with the Undroppables symbol 🚫 on the shoulder.
I started thinking about it long and hard and if I could get a superpower I think I want super speed, you know so I can travel so fast that people can’t see me and everything looks like it is moving really slow. But then I started thinking I also want super endurance, it would suck to run across a city faster than light speed but then be exhausted. Oh, wait what are we here for, oh yes my actual superpower. Fantasy information. Well, let’s get started.
Here is a brief definition of each of my terms for anyone that might be new:
💰 Money Maker – This player will perform better than expectations
💔 Heart Breaker – This player will perform lower than expectations
💰 Money Makers
Quarterbacks
Tom Brady
The Washington Football Team gives up the most points in fantasy to quarterbacks. Tom Brady averages the most fantasy points per game on the main slate this week with a 25.86 per game average. WFT gives up 298 yards and 2.5 touchdowns on average per game. Brady will make that with ease. Pay up as he is more than worth it.
$7,600 on DraftKings
$8,300 on Fanduel
The Washington Football Teams is allowing a 6.6% TD percentage to opposing QBs. Tom Brady is averaging a 7.3% TD percentage this year. I’ll set Brady’s passing TD over/under at 3.5. You gotta take the over right?

Matt Ryan
In 3 of his last 4 games, Ryan has thrown for over 330 yards and multiple touchdowns. The Cowboys give up an average of 287 yards and 2 touchdowns per game. It’s pretty easy to see where this is leading us right. Matty Ice is a nice play this week. Put him in there in season-long and DFS.
$6,000 on DraftKings
$7,300 on Fanduel
Trevor Lawrence
The Jaguars are playing against the Colts in Week 10. Last week, the combination of Jets backup quarterbacks put up for 412 yards and 4 touchdowns against the Colts after Ryan Tannehill hit Indy for 265 yards and 3 TDs. This indicates that teams that were struggling to pass get right against the Colts defense that gives up the 3rd most points to quarterbacks in fantasy. I don’t need to say anything else.

Running Backs
Najee Harris
The Lions are the second friendliest team to running backs in fantasy. They give up a total of 144 yards and 2 touchdowns to running backs weekly. Harris has huge volume with the second most carries on the season. He also has the second most targets and receptions to a running back through 9 weeks as well. His volume is huge, his output is great, play Najee.
$7,900 on DraftKings
$9,400 on Fanduel
If you can squeeze CMC and Najee Harris into your DFS lineups do it in a couple even if youre playing pure dart throws. They might break the slate this week.

Melvin Gordon/Javonte Williams
The Eagles give up yards (104 per game), receptions (7 per game), and touchdowns (1 per game) to running backs. Williams and Gordon are producing exceptionally well right now for the Broncos in their 50/50 split. Last week, Williams had 111 yards rushing and Gordon had 80 yards rushing and a touchdown. Look for them both to eat against a defense that gives up the 5th most points to running backs. They are like a hot Hollywood couple now, they should be called Jelvin or Mavonte.

D’Ernest Johnson
The Patriots actually have a pretty good defense. They are middle of the road against running backs so far this season. Johnson is here because he may literally be the only running back on the Browns eligible to play on Sunday. The Browns like to use their running backs as the focus of their offense. Johnson played well in relief in Weeks 7 and 8 with 168 yards and 2 touchdowns rushing.

Wide Receivers
Deonte Harris
In the last two weeks, Harris has seen a total of 15 targets. Titans give up the most points in fantasy to wide receivers. They give up 213 yards and a touchdown to wide receivers weekly. Looks for Harris to catch a few passes and add a touchdown in Week 10.
$4,000 on DraftKings
$5,400 on Fanduel
Mike Evans/Chris Godwin
The Washington Football Team is pretty bad at defense. Only the Titans give up more fantasy points to wide receivers. You do realize what that means. Play these Buccaneers pass catchers, stack them with Brady and win some cash. I am looking at these guys both to produce along the lines of their WR1/2. There will be yards, there will be touchdowns and it will be glorious.
Mike Evans

Chris Godwin

Russell Gage
The Cowboys is pretty bad against wide receivers. They give up double-digit fantasy scores to wide receivers weekly. This week, it is Gage’s turn. In Week 9, Gage had 8 targets which he turned into 7 receptions and 64 yards. He led the Falcons in targets with a 27% target share. This should be nice this week against Dallas. We did see this coming didn’t we?

Tight Ends
Noah Fant
The Eagles suck against tight ends, there is no other way to say it. Last week, stud tight ends like Stephen Anderson (who?) and Donald Parham scored touchdowns against them. Fant is on the Covid list but I am betting he is healthy to play in Week 10. Fant is involved in the passing game with 53 targets, 37 receptions, 320 yards, and 3 touchdowns on the season thus far.
$4,300 on DraftKings
$5,700 on Fanduel
Tyler Conklin
The Chargers have a bottom 10 defense against tight ends on the season. Conklin has seen 7 targets in each of the last two games which he has turned into 10 receptions and 102 yards. That’s a 25% target share. The guy is producing, and you need some production in your life. Admit it you think his last name is fun to say, Conklin. You just said it out loud too.
$3,400 on DraftKings
$5,300 on Fanduel
Dan Arnold
The past two games Arnold has seen a 25% target share which got him 17 targets, 12 receptions, and 128 yards. The Colts give up the 6th most fantasy points to tight ends. If you aren’t picking up what I am putting down Arnold would be.

💔 Heart Breakers
Quarter Backs
Mike White
The Jets’ passing game has been AWESOME the past two weeks. 400 yards and 4 touchdowns in Week 9 and 405 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 8. That might make you think you want to play whoever is starting at quarterback for the Jets in Week 10. Don’t do it. The Bills are the best defense against quarterbacks in fantasy.
Jalen Hurts
The Broncos have only allowed 2 quarterbacks to score over 20 points against them this season. The Eagles seem to have found their running game the past two weeks. The combination of this is telling me to avoid Hurts in DFS. Don’t even think about it.
Kirk Cousins
Cousins is having a solid season so far. The Chargers though give up the 4th fewest points to quarterbacks in fantasy. They have given up 300 yards only once this season and multiple touchdowns only 3 times. Yuck.
Running Backs
Michael Carter
Everyone was all gaga when he went off against a bad run defense of the Bengals in week 8. He came back down to earth against the tough against the run Colts defense last week. He is staying there playing against the Bills’ toughest in the league defense in Week 10. Season-long yay, DFS nay.
James Robins/Carlos Hyde
Doesn’t matter which one is playing this week, I am not playing them in DFS. The Colts defense is the second best against the run after only the Bills. I don’t trust Hyde at all here even with the volume. I think I just threw up in my mouth
D’Andre Swift
I love to get Schwifty with it whenever I can. But this is not the game to target for Swift in DFS. Only 1 running back has topped 100 yards combined against the Steelers this season. Only three running backs have scored 10 points or more in fantasy against the Steelers this season. Only 1 running back has scored more than 11 points against the Steelers this season.
Wide Receivers
Jets Wide Receivers
Corey Davis, Jamison Crowder, and yes, even Elijah Moore are all guys I want no part when the Jets face Buffalo. The Bills defense is not only the best against running backs but it is also the best against wide receivers. I think I am wishing I had the Bills team rostered in more season-long play as I write this article.
Keenan Allen
The Chargers defense has had only 1 wide receiver get over 100 yards against them all season. The Vikings defense has given up only 4 touchdowns to wide receivers this season. You may not have known it but the Chargers defense gives up the second fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. If you don’t know now ya know.
Jerry Jeudy
The Eagles are the fourth best team against wide receivers in fantasy scoring. Typically if a team is getting it done against the Eagles, it is through the running backs and the tight ends. I see that happening with the Broncos as well. Expect less from Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, and Tim Patrick against Philadelphia.
Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert
Denver’s defense has been good against the tight position so far this season. They have kept Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, and Dalton Schultz all in check. Not a single tight end has broken 10 points against this defense. Not a single tight end has scored a touchdown against the Broncos. The Broncos’ streak of nine straight games of defending tight ends exceptionally well will continue.
Chargers Tight Ends
The trio of tight ends from the Chargers all caught a pass in the endzone last weekend. Stephen Anderson (You still don’t know who do you?) and Donald Parham scored touchdowns and Jared Cook had a 2 point conversion. None of them are doing it against the Viking defense that has not given up a touchdown yet to tight ends this season. Has my infinite knowledge of useless stats impressed you yet? Are you not entertained?
