7) Jacoby Brissett vs. Los Angeles Rams
Yep, this guy. In the same game, we have a player who has been a top-12 QB overall in every game he has started this year. He’s also averaged 43 pass attempts per game over his 7 starts and goes over 250 yards and 2 touchdowns each week. Simply put, Jacoby Brissett is legit and deserves a spot in your fantasy lineup. This matchup isn’t perfect, but that hasn’t mattered much to Brissett, who has scored over 20 fantasy points in 5 of his 7 starts and scored 19.42 and 19.76 in the other two. Think of him as a slightly less fun Jameis Winston.
8) Patrick Mahomes vs. Houston
Another great quarterback in a brutal matchup. The Texans are ranked 4th in the league against the pass and #1 overall in the league DVOA against quarterbacks in fantasy. They’re the worst matchup for quarterbacks in the league. Houston has not allowed a quarterback to score over 20 fantasy points in a single game all season, and opposing quarterbacks are averaging just 12.28 points per game. Mahomes will likely struggle to eclipse 20 fantasy points, but he’s still a safer bet than any other option in the league at this point.
