Big Upside Plays
- Mitchell Trubisky CHI (If He Plays) - The Bears offense has the ability to put up points in bunches at times. They will need to show that ability against the Rams if they hope to pull off the upset.
- Josh Allen BUF - The Bills offense is lackluster, but Allen is a human highlight reel lately. He has rushed for 244 yards and a score in the past two weeks. Sometimes he even throws the ball. Either way, I like Allen to put up a bunch more fantasy points against a Jets defense that appears to have given up.
- Lamar Jackson BAL - The Ravens are 3-0 with Jackson at QB, but it hasn't been pretty. They play a run-first clock draining game that can pile up fantasy points on the ground. The Chiefs are going to look to put up points in bunches. That will mean that Jackson will have to either make a lot of plays to keep up or flame out. This is a high ceiling, low floor desperation start.
