I hope everyone enjoyed his or her Thanksgiving holiday. I’m sorry that I didn’t get an article up last week, it was a busy one. To make up for it, let’s get to the picks.

Stacks that I like
Josh McCown and Robby Anderson (NYJ)
Most know that Robby Anderson has been on a tear as of late but people aren’t recognizing enough just how good McCown has been. Over his last seven games, he’s only had one game without two touchdowns and he’s a QB13 on the year. This week he gets the struggling KC defense at home.
Philip Rivers and Keenan Allen (SD)
I am personally going to fade this stack and pray that they don’t do well but honestly, how can they not. They have both been on fire lately and they will most likely light up the Browns defense this week.
QB’s that I like
Case Keenum (MIN, $6,000)
The first thing I think of when I think of the Falcons defense is:
Honestly, though, Trufant is the name that comes to mind, and he’s not even playing in this one. Regardless, Diggs, as well as Thielen, have top five catch rates when a defender is within a yard of them.
Projection: 270yd 2td
RB’s that I like
Marshawn Lynch (OAK, $4,800)
He’s actually been very good over the past three games. He gets the Giants’ horrendous run defense this week. Fire him up.
Projection: 70yd 1td
Jordan Howard (CHI, $6,500)
Besides a few letdowns, Howard has fully regained his RB1 status. He gets the 49ers “defense” this week, making him a top 15 play in my mind.
Projection: 100yd 1 td
WR’s that I like
DeAndre Hopkins (HOU, $7,300)
Even without Watson, he has been a clear WR1. The Titans defense isn’t going to be the team to slow him down. Expect another great week.
Projection: 110yd 1td
Davante Adams (GB, $6,500)
He’s very similar to Hopkins in that it doesn’t matter who his quarterback it, the guy produces. Please fire him up this week versus a bad TB pass defense.
Projection: 137yd
TE’s that I like
Jimmy Graham (SEA, $5,500)
The Seahawks will have to throw the ball a lot this week versus the best scoring offense in the league. The Eagles offense has been matchup proof for the entire season. They will continue to show up this week which means Graham should get a ton of targets.
Projection: 7 rec 63 yd
Julius Thomas (MIA, $3,500)
IT’S REVENGE BABY!!!! Thomas gets a great matchup versus his former team this week. If you are looking for a cheap option, look no further than Thomas (Though you can also consider Howard and Ebron).
Projection: 5 rec 52yd 1td
DST’s that I like this week
Jags ($4,500)
They are the best defense in the league and are playing one of the worst offenses in the league.
Projection: 13 pts
Houston ($2,400)
Tennessee has underwhelmed of late, as Mariota hasn’t looked like himself in weeks. This is definitely a low-ownership play that is pretty sneaky.
Projection 12 pts
