Why?
- Las Vegas is ranked 25th in the league for passing yards allowed per game

- Houston is ranked 32nd in the league for rushing yards allowed per game
Colts RB Johnathan Taylor vs Patriots
Why?

- Tampa Bay is ranked 6th in the league for points allowed per game
- Los Angeles is ranked 28th in the league for points scored per game
Buccaneers RB Leonard Fournette vs Rams
Why?
- In general you should not be starting him even though he was one of the best Running backs in the league last year because of how bad the Buccaneers run game has been this season with it being on pace to be the worst rushing season from any team in NFL history.
- Los Angeles is ranked 7th in the league for rushing yards allowed per game

Panthers WR DJ Moore vs Bengals
Why?
- Cincinnati is ranked 15th in the league for passing yards allowed per game
- Cincinnati is ranked 21st in the league for rushing yards allowed per game meaning the Panthers will be running the ball more especially with how well RB D’Onta Foreman has played since the CMC which will result in Moore’s targets going down.
Kansas City Chiefs Defense vs Tennessee Titans Offense
Why?
- With Rookie QB Malik Willis Starting with the injury of QB Ryan Tannehill the titans will run the ball all game with Derrick Henry
- Derrick Henry is coming off of an absolutely unreal performance of 219 yards and 2 Touchdowns
