QUARTERBACK

Colin Kaepernick ($7200) 49ers vs. Saints – The first QB that I am recommending this week is averaging 110 yards passing per game. Yes, you are reading that right, 110 passing yards per game! Listen, Kaepernick is a below average passing quarterback that really only saves himself by running the football. However, like I said in my intro, this match up is prime and I feel like Kaepernick has the ability to light this Saints defense up. The encouraging thing about his two starts has been the 75 rushing yards per game that he is averaging. This at the very least provides a pretty high floor for Kaepernick but also gives him a chance to put up a huge line. The Saints defense is giving up nearly 290 yards through the air and I don’t see them slowing this below average offense down.

Dak Prescott ($7600) Cowboys @ Browns – Playing a QB against the Browns has been a thing all season and I see no reason that needs to change this weekend. The 6-1 Cowboys have no reason to think about Tony Romo as Prescott has taken the reigns at QB and hasn’t looked back. He has put up solid fantasy games against nearly everyone this season and now faces probably the worst defense he has seen in his young career. His 4 rushing TD’s are just icing on the cake on what has been a better than expected passing performance from Dak. Fire him up this week as his price is just too cheap for this match up.

Aaron Rodgers ($9100) Packers vs. Colts – With GB have absolutely nobody left in their backfield, they have leaned heavily on the best QB in football in Rodgers. Since Eddie Lacy and James Starks went out, Rodgers has thrown for 572 yards and 7 TD’s in those two games. Throw in that the Indy defense has allowed the 6th most points to QB’s this season and you have all things pointing to an excellent game from Rodgers. With him being the most expensive QB this week, I think many people will look to pay down at QB and avoid paying this tag for Rodgers.

Others I Like – Andrew Luck ($8000), Carson Wentz ($6900), Cam Newton ($8100)
