Devonta Freeman and Joe Mixon get 2 of the best scoring matchups an RB can find. The Giants hit Washington for a matchup that features somewhat sneaky upside for both teams. Arizona heads to Seattle to raise the ceiling. And we're waiting on the weather for Bengals-Dolphins. Before all that, though, we have Breshad Perriman and a 3-game Saturday slate to address. Here's the rundown: Saturday slate ... 2:15 QB ... 8:09 RB ... 10:48 WR ... 14:24 TE ... 17:34 Flex ... 20:24 Defense ... 21:50 Check ...

First up is a short Saturday slate loaded with offense at the top, defense in the middle and big-name players to figure out at night.

Here's the rundown: Saturday's slate ... 2:40 QB ... 7:35 RB ... 12:11 WR ... 15:00 TE ... 18:00 Flex ... 20:19 Defense...

A shootout might be brewing in Dallas. And if that's the case, there are some high-ceiling plays headed for lower owned rates than they should be. There are some affordable receivers with nice target floors, and you can even find a cheap RB who emerged as a starter in recent weeks.

Is it really time to play Mitchell Trubisky over Aaron Rodgers? Baker Mayfield over Russell Wilson? Derek Carr over Tom Brady?

Does any QB match Deshaun Watson's outlook on FanDuel this week? The RB picture looks pretty clear, though the field gets more crowded if you're picking a 3rd for the flex spot. A couple of reliable WR1s draw our focus, but they'll also require some salary relief. And that just might come at TE. Here are the picks: QB ... 3:17 RB ... 7:35 WR ... 12:55 TE ... 16:51 Flex ... 21:00 Defense ... 23:39 Check out plus our DFS Lineup Builder , as well as our full Week 14 rankings with FanDuel dollars pe...

The QB options are plentiful. The RB menu presents options at various levels. There's help available for fitting in the high-priced WRs we're targeting. And there seems to be a pretty clear target zone at TE. Oh, and Matt won't shut up about his favorite defense for the week. (And yeah, Jared sounds like he's on the phone. We're working through some stuff.) Here are the picks: QB ... 3:00 RB ... 7:08 WR ... 11:24 TE ... 15:05 Flex ... 18:22 Defense ... 20:08 Check out all of Jared's top picks fo...

It's fantasy football playoffs time for most of us, so every lineup decision gets that much more important.

Is it possible to avoid Matt Ryan in cash on FanDuel this week? For a GPP, Jared's so in love with Baker Mayfield that he's ready to fight the FanShare projections. RB looks tougher than most weeks ... unless you're ready to spend up. But affordable WRs could help. Let's get to the picks: QB ... 2:25 RB ... 6:39 WR ... 11:50 TE ... 14:56 Flex ... 16:39 Defense ... 18:09 Check out plus our DFS Lineup Builder , as well as our full Week 12 rankings with FanDuel dollars per point projections.

Is Matt letting his personal bias push him too much toward 1 particular QB in a wide-open week at the position? Either way, the wealth of options there can help you navigate a tougher week for RBs and defenses. And the combo of pricing and matchups at RB might make flexing a WR a good idea. Let's get to the picks: QB ... 2:22 RB ... 8:01 WR ... 12:20 TE ... 16:54 Flex ... 19:12 Defense ... 21:37 Check out all of Jared's top picks for playing on DK this weekend, plus our DFS Lineup Builder and ou...

Football Outsiders' DVOA has Dallas as the league's most efficient offense and New England as the most efficient defense. Should you just keep Dak Prescott in your lineup or hit the waiver wire for a replacement? Even if you're not a Dak owner, tough matchups elsewhere could mean some surprising QB decisions. And this important week of fantasy action starts with a concentrated Buccaneers pass offense visiting a rejuvenated Falcons defense. Here's the rundown: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Fa...

Three key Chiefs went down, as did a pair of Steelers wideouts and Marlon Mack. How should that affect your waiver-wire moves this week? Derrius Guice returned and might offer some help down the stretch. We'll look into him, some fringe QB starters and the 49ers offense on whole. It's also getting into time to set up our defenses for weeks ahead -- including the fantasy playoffs.

The Raiders are suddenly heavy favorites ... and they deserve it. Todd Gurley might be ready to sit behind a guy you just picked up off waivers. The Falcons and Saints hit reset after last week's shocker, and Vegas says to ignore what you just saw.

Austin Hooper's knee injury deals another harsh blow to a position that has been decimated this season.

Christian McCaffrey costs even more this week, so we'll need to find some savings if we want to get him into FanDuel lineups.

Vegas expects the points to come most plentifully from Falcons-Saints and Cardinals-Buccaneers, and we'll discuss plenty of DFS options from those games.

Even when they finally win a game, the Dolphins manage to lose 2 key offensive players. Injuries also knocked out a pair of Colts on Sunday and removed a pair of star wideouts from our Week 10 plans (and maybe beyond). Who will rise from these issues?

The Lions-Raiders and Buccaneers-Seahawks clashes lie at the center of the NFL Week 9 DFS slate. We'll hit on multiple QBs and pass-catchers from those games -- and maybe even the RB spot.
