Best running back picks

Cash Games: Joe Mixon, RB, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $7.2K, FanDuel $8.1K)

Joe Mixon splits work with Samaje Perine, so his ceiling may not be what it once was. Of the two backfields, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay, the Bengals feel more certain making Joe Mixon the play for Cash games.

Tournament: Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.9K)

Rachaad White has been the back in Tampa Bay receiving the most work in the last month of the season. It hasn't materialized into RB1 performances, and the narrative around the rookie back changed. If the Buccaneers are chasing, which is a likely scenario, White could receive plenty of underneath targets from Tom Brady.

Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash Games: Ja'Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (DraftKings $8.3K, FanDuel $9K)

Last week the Cincinnati Bengals' passing game was down two receivers, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. The Bengals kept on clicking as Ja'Marr Chase was the one-man band for the Bengals with 15 targets.

Chase is one of the most explosive receivers in the NFL, so he performed well under these circumstances. Expect the Bengals to get their reinforcements Higgins and Boyd back this week, so although Chase may not get as many targets, the defense won't be able to gang up on him.

Tournament: Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (DraftKings $6.7K, FanDuel $7K)

Many DFS players will load up their lineups with pieces from the Cincinnati Bengals offense. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled mightily, most recently getting blown out of the water by the San Francisco 49ers.

Can the Buccaneers' offense regain consistency and make this game a back-and-forth matchup?

If so, Tampa Bay will need Chris Godwin to shine. Godwin has been the most consistent receiving option for the Buccaneers during the 2nd half of the season. Godwin makes for a comeback on your Bengals' stacks.
