Best quarterback picks

Cash Games: Mac Jones, QB, New England Patriots (DraftKings $5.1K, FanDuel $6.5K)

Mac Jones is rock-solid. Jones won't offer you much upside as a runner, but if the Patriots have to open up the offense, Mac Jones has proved to be a solid game manager.

Tournaments: Zach Wilson, QB, New York Jets (Draftkings $5K, FanDuel $6.7K)

Playing Zach Wilson in DFS is not for weak-hearted bettors. The game script could be in the second-year QBs favor, as the Jets may have to throw the ball a ton in this one.

Best running back picks

Cash Games: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (DraftKings $6,7K, FanDuel $8.1K)

Rhamondre Stevenson has been terrific as a runner and pass-catcher for the Patriots. Stevenson is the chalk play this week and will be heavily owned.

Tournament: Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.3K)

The Jet's backfield lost some of its lusters when rookie sensation Breece Hall went down for the season with an ACL injury.

Michael Carter isn't the sexiest name in DFS fields, but Carter has always proven to be a reliable option. Most of the tournament field will fade Carter due to his match-up against the Patriots, which provides an opportunity to gain leverage against the field.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Jakobi Meyers, WR, New England Patriots (DraftKings $5.5K, FanDuel $6.5K)

Jakobi Meyers is the most consistent Patriots' receiving threat, and it is not particularly close. Meyers still seems like a bargain, given his current price tag. The savvy DFS players will continue to take full advantage of cash games.

Tournament: Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $4.9K, FanDuel $6.2K)

The New England Patriots' defense is notorious for taking away what you want to do as an offense. I imagine the New York Jets want to continue to be a ground-and-pound offense, so look for the Patriots to load the box to take away the run game.

The Jets will have to open it up more than they would prefer. Garrett Wilson has been terrific in the slot and outside on the perimeter. Wilson is a dice roll worth taking on this week's DFS slate.
