Attack DAL with quarterbacks
Every week 3 game, ranked by how much of it is worth attacking.
DAL surrender 25.3 points a game to quarterbacks, 2nd-worst of 32 teams, and BAL bring a 28-point implied total to match. That's the column — start the BAL quarterback and skip the injury report. MIA are just as broken against running backs at 28.5 allowed, with KC sitting on the slate's highest implied total at 29. Own either backfield and this isn't a decision. Own neither and there are five more games waiting that don't involve you.
Attack DAL with quarterbacks
BAL at DAL
- Attack
- DAL vs QB
- Allowed
- 25.3 pts/gm
- Rank
- 2nd of 32
- Implied
- 28
- Total
- 52.5
- Line
- BAL are 3.5-point favourites
A 52.5 total will put half this game into lineups on its own. The reason to be in it is narrower than that. DAL allow the 2nd most to quarterbacks at 25.3 points a game, and BAL carry an implied 28 points, the 3rd-highest of the 32 sides playing. Start the BAL quarterback and stop reading the injury report about him. If you own none of them, it is still a good game to have on.
Attack MIA with running backs
KC at MIA
- Attack
- MIA vs RB
- Allowed
- 28.5 pts/gm
- Rank
- 2nd of 32
- Implied
- 29
- Total
- 46.5
- Line
- KC are 11.5-point favourites
A 11.5-point favourite is where managers start worrying about the fourth quarter, which is the wrong quarter to worry about. MIA allow the 2nd most to running backs at 28.5 points a game, and KC carry an implied 29 points, the highest of the 32 sides playing. Start the KC backs — both of them, if you were unlucky enough to draft both. If you own none of them, there is nothing in this paragraph for you.
Attack DET with tight ends
NYJ at DET
- Attack
- DET vs TE
- Allowed
- 23.5 pts/gm
- Rank
- 1st of 32
- Implied
- 20.5
- Total
- 47.5
- Line
- NYJ are 6.5-point underdogs
There is nothing subtle about this one, and there does not need to be. DET allow the most in the league to tight ends at 23.5 points a game, and NYJ carry an implied 20.5 points, 1.5 points under the slate median. The NYJ tight end is a start in a TE-premium lineup, which is the only kind you play. If you own nobody in this game, that is a problem for the waiver page, not this one.
Attack WAS with tight ends
SEA at WAS
- Attack
- WAS vs TE
- Allowed

- Rank
- 4th of 32
- Implied
- 23.8
- Total
- 40.5
- Line
- SEA are 7.0-point favourites
A 40.5 total is why most managers will scroll straight past SEA at WAS. WAS allow the 4th most to tight ends at 19.9 points a game, and SEA carry an implied 23.8 points, 1.8 points over the slate median. The SEA tight end is a start in a TE-premium lineup, which is the only kind you play. If you own none of them, there is nothing in this paragraph for you.
Attack ARI with tight ends

A 47.5 total will put half this game into lineups on its own. The reason to be in it is narrower than that. ARI allow the 8th most to tight ends at 16.4 points a game, and SF carry an implied 28 points, the 3rd-highest of the 32 sides playing. The SF tight end is a start in a TE-premium lineup, which is the only kind you play. If you own none of them, it is still a good game to have on.

- Total

- Line
- MIN are 1.5-point favourites
The book has no read on this game at 1.5 points, so the matchup underneath it is the whole argument. TB allow the 3rd most to tight ends at 20.8 points a game, and MIN carry an implied 22 points, which is the slate median to within a point. The MIN tight end is a start in a TE-premium lineup, which is the only kind you play. If you own none of them, there is nothing in this paragraph for you.
