The NFC South-leading (I didn't think I would be saying this in 2022) Atlanta Falcons host the Los Angeles Chargers in an AFC/NFC tilt with playoff implications.
The Atlanta Falcons come into this one victorious with a stunning Overtime victory over the Carolina Panthers. The Los Angeles Chargers head into Atlanta fresh off their much-needed Bye week.
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games and Tournament: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $7.2K, FanDuel $7.8K)
Justin Herbert is the player in both formats. The Atlanta Falcons throw the ball so infrequently that the QB play is moot.
The Chargers' offense flows through Justin Herbert. They will be without Mike Williams in this one, but they should be getting ol' reliable Keenan Allen back.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $8.8K, FanDuel $9.4K)
Austin Ekeler should rip the Falcons' defense apart. Whether it is through the running game or as a pass-catcher out of the backfield, Austin Ekeler is as safe as any RB in fantasy football.
Tournament: Caleb Huntley, RB, Atlanta Falcons (DraftKings $4.9K, FanDuel $6K)
You're looking to get different, as you should in tournaments. Caleb Huntley is a worthy dice roll. Huntley was the most impressive Falcons runner last week, and we know from previous weeks the best way to beat the Chargers' defense is on the ground with the running game.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $6.5K, FanDuel $7.5K)
Keenan Allen should return to the Chargers lineup this week. We have seen little from the veteran receiver so far in 2022.
It's important to remember how talented Allen is. A target monster in the Chargers' offense, Keenan Allen is immediately playable.
Tournament: Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons (DraftKings $4.5K, FanDuel $6.3K)
The perpetual dilemma that is Kyle Pitts: to start or not to start? Kyle Pitts has been incredibly frustrating for fantasy managers so far in 2022. The Falcons' reluctance to throw the ball and to utilize their playmakers is mind-numbing.
Kyle Pitts is finally beginning to see work in the offense, and he has paid off. Can you trust the Falcons coaching staff to continue the trend? In Tournaments, Kyle Pitts is worth the gamble.
