The bye weeks have arrived, which means fewer games and plays to sift through, and the slate will be a little tighter. Once again, we will be forced to choose between Tyreek Hill ($9000) and Justin Jefferson ($9400). We only have two $8K quarterbacks to decide between: Patrick Mahomes ($8200) and Jalen Hurts ($8000). There is no Christian McCaffrey on this slate, so the highest-priced running back is Bijan Robinson ($7700). At tight end, it is Travis Kelce ($7600) and then everybody else.
For value plays we have Wan’Dale Robinson at ($3000) who is popping as the salary saver this week. Once again, we will sift through the $6K range at RB. We have six or seven plays in that range that you could argue are cash-game viable.
I’ll discuss ways to get unique on this slate for different contest sizes. I primarily play smaller fields, but we will discuss some large-field strategies as well.
