Tom Brady-QB (New England Patriots)

This pick is more about the Green Bay defense than it is Tom Brady. Green Bay seems to be in a bad way these days. Trading Ha Ha Clinton-Dix away may be a big hit for this defense. If the offensive line can keep Clay Matthews in check Brady will have all day to throw. Sony Michel is likely to sit this game out so the running game for the Patriots will be non-existent. Tom Brady will be throwing all day.

Christian McCaffrey-RB (Carolina Panthers)

Christian McCaffrey had a great game against a tough Baltimore defense. With the emergence of D.J. Moore in the offense this could open up more options for McCaffrey. This week McCaffrey gets a weak Tampa Bay offense. I expect Run CMC to carve this team up with 60 yards rushing and 50 yards receiving with 1 touchdown.

Amari Cooper-WR (Dallas Cowboys)

Dallas is in playoff football mode coming off of the bye week. I expect them to try and flaunt their new weapon in Amari Cooper. Cooper is rested and motivated to show that he is a number 1 receiver. If Dak can get him the ball he should come out with a 121-yard receiving and a touchdown day.

Jordan Reed-TE (Washington Redskins)

Jordan Reed is the leading receiver for the Redskins and is finally having a healthy season. This week’s opponent is the Atlanta Falcons whose defense is depleted. I expect Jordan reed to get free releases off the line and confuse the Falcon secondary. 6 receptions for 86 yards and a late red zone touchdown.

Chicago Bears-D/ST

This game seems like a blowout but I think the Bills will play differently and utilize Terrelle Pryor at quarterback. However, Nathan Peterman is starting and we know how that usually turns out. Don’t get caught with your pants down though because I did with the Oakland Raiders defense on Thursday night. They are in full tank mode right now.

Will Lutz-K (New Orleans Saints)

This is going to be one of the games of the season and Will Lutz will be called on to make a game winning field goal. Will doesn’t miss too often in the Superdome.
