Stack juice is real with Downs, and the red zone play action is ready to cash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start: Jared Goff (DET @ WAS)<\/strong> &#8211; Play action to the moon and quick game precision keeps chains moving all afternoon. Indoors, arm talent with a full route tree of answers is fantasy comfort food.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sit: Trevor Lawrence (JAC @ HOU)<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/texans\/\" target=\"_self\">Houston<\/a> squeezes windows and forces long drives that stall out for three instead of six.

He draws the softest rush matchup on the slate, and that means volume with scoring chances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start: Rico Dowdle (CAR v. NO)<\/strong> &#8211; Chuba who? And why are we still asking? Rico looks like a top ten ROS play, and he eats in this spot with power runs and screens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sit: Alvin Kamara (NO @ CAR)<\/strong> &#8211; Quarterback chaos is crushing backfield value, and the red zone rhythm is off. If the game tilts weird again, the routes turn empty and the fantasy floor shakes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sit: Woody Marks (HOU v.
