Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Kirk Cousins, QB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $7.5K)
Kirk Cousins is one of the most secure options in fantasy football. The ceiling isn't always present, but the floor is as safe as they come.
Tournaments: Matt Ryan, QB, Indianapolis Colts (Draftkings $5.2K, FanDuel $6.9K)
It has not been pretty for Matt Ryan in 2022. The Colts/Vikings have some sneaky shoot-out potential, and not many DFS players will play Ryan, which provides you an opportunity to gain leverage on the field.
Best running back picks
Cash Games: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts (DraftKings $7.2K, FanDuel $9K)
Jonathan Taylor is one of the best backs in the NFL. Following the Colts' bye week, Jonathan Taylor is as healthy now as he has been all season. Expect the Colts to feature Taylor early and often, and JT carries a rock-solid floor.
Tournament: Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $6.9K, FanDuel $8.2K)
Dalvin Cook receives the vast majority of the volume in the backfield for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings should be able to control the line of scrimmage up front, opening running lanes for Dalvin Cook. With Jonathan Taylor on the opposite sideline, expect Dalvin Cook to be less owned than JT.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings (DraftKings $9.1K, FanDuel $9.1K)
Justin Jefferson is the chalk play at the receiver position. Jefferson is one of the most spectacular talents at the WR position. The Vikings' offensive coaching staff does a phenomenal job of moving Jefferson around the formation to get him open. Justin is in the running for the top fantasy receiver, so you'll want him in your Cash Game lineups.
Tournament: Michael Pittman Jr., WR, Indianapolis Colts (DraftKings $5.8K, FanDuel $7K)
Michael Pittman Jr. is the only game in town for the Indianapolis Colts offense. The Colts flirted with the idea of getting Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce more involved.
None of these strategies have been particularly effective, nor have they been consistently implemented. Michael Pittman Jr. remains the alpha in the Colts' passing attack, as he should. Pittman Jr. is a talented playmaker on the outside that can beat defensive backs with his physicality.
The Vikings' secondary has been a glaring weakness all season long, and teams are beginning to target the Vikings' defensive backs with more regularity. Michael Pittman Jr. should be in your Saturday tournament lineup.
