Quarterbacks
Brock Purdy ($6.8K) vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Purdy has averaged a whopping 9.9 YPA and 24.2 DK fantasy points at home this season. He’ll benefit from the expected return of Mike Evans following San Francisco’s bye and a matchup against a Raiders’ defense allowing the fourth most QB fantasy points this season. The 49ers own a league-high team total at 31.5 points this week.
Malik Willis ($5.1K) vs. Detroit Lions
Willis has been fantasy’s QB7 over the last four weeks since a difficult matchup in Minnesota, and he gets a pass-funnel Lions’ defense Sunday. Detroit has allowed the most fantasy points to quarterbacks but the fourth fewest to running backs. Lions’ opponents own the league’s highest pass rate (65.6%) by a significant margin. Willis didn’t have a single scramble last week after entering with the second-most per game, so expect the quarterback to run more in Week 9 with increased drop backs. Willis is a DFS bargain.
Daniel Jones ($4.7K) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Jones has been an utter disaster this season while returning from Achilles surgery, regressing even more than expected. However, he’s a DFS option at such a low salary in a home matchup against Dallas. The Cowboys have ceded the fourth most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and this matchup sports one of the highest totals (51.5 points) of the week.
Others: Drake Maye ($7.0K), Joe Milton ($4.1K), Drew Lock ($4.0K)
