We only have four games to work with this week, but it feels like seven or eight games because of the level of talent on these offenses. We’ve got a handful of stellar running back choices to work with and the ownership projections reflect that with five players at 25% owned. The other positions are more straightforward this week with some more clear-cut top plays.

Quarterback
Highest Projected Player
- Alex Smith (KC): $6,300 vs TEN — 35.8%
Both Smith and Drew Brees should be over 30% owned as both come into the easiest matchups on the slate and with reliable game logs. Behind them, both Cam Newton and Jared Goff should come in at near 10% ownership.
Running Back
Highest Projected Players
- Leonard Fournette (JAX): $7,400 vs BUF — 53.2%
- Alvin Kamara (NO): $8,600 vs CAR — 46.4%
With PPR on the table, Kamara will see huge ownership once again despite his inflated price and seemingly difficult matchup. It is Fournette, however, who has by far the easiest matchup and will be owned in around 50% of lineups as a result. Not too far behind, will be Todd Gurley and Christian McCaffrey, who will both be up above 30%, with Mark Ingram also expected to be around 25% owned.
