The Flex

The Snap

Carolina and Kansas City are on bye, and Philadelphia at Jacksonville is already underway. Ashton Jeanty, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are all questionable for the 1:00 PM games. The game to own is Detroit at Arizona, 4:25 PM ET. Detroit's implied team total at DraftKings is 30.0, tops on the board. That is how many points the betting market expects a team to score, worked out from the spread and the total. Bigger number, more touchdowns to go around. The trap is Sunday night. Baltimore visits Atlanta at 8:20 PM ET without Lamar Jackson, and Zay Flowers is questionable. Put Flowers in your flex. If Flowers sits, you can still swap in a Monday night player from Buffalo at the Rams (8:15 PM ET).

Start-Sit

Today's top implied totals from DraftKings via ESPN, with a three-way tie for fifth:

QB

• Start with confidence: Jared Goff at ARI. Arizona gives quarterbacks 21.0 PPR points a game, 6th most. That is PPR points allowed: fantasy points (one point per catch) a defense has given up to a position each game. High number, soft matchup.
• Start if you must: Jacoby Brissett vs DET, as a streamer. Detroit allows 28.6, the most.
• Sit: Tyler Shough vs MIN. Minnesota allows 11.5, the fewest.

RB

• Start with confidence: Aaron Jones at NO (34.2, the most), Chase Brown at MIA (29.6, 2nd), D'Andre Swift at GB (29.0, 3rd).
• Start if you must: Derrick Henry at ATL (17.8, 24th). Lamar is out, but Henry gets 22.2 carries a game. Emanuel Wilson vs SF (25.1, 8th). Ashton Jeanty at NE, only if active (20.9, 18th).
• Sit: Braelon Allen vs CLE (16.7, 28th), even as the starter. Cam Skattebo at WAS (16.6, 29th).

WR

• Start with confidence: Michael Wilson vs DET (43.5, 2nd), on 11.0 targets a game.
• Start if you must: Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at MIA if active. Miami allows just 22.2 (30th). Zay Flowers at ATL (38.4, 5th), from your flex. The risk is Huntley: the pack has no Huntley numbers.
• Sit: Marvin Harrison Jr. vs DET. Great matchup (43.5), but only 3.2 targets a game. Ladd McConkey vs DEN (28.3, 25th).

TE

• Start with confidence: Trey McBride vs DET (28.4, the most). Sam LaPorta at ARI (18.6, 3rd).
• Start if you must: Mike Gesicki at MIA (18.6, also 3rd).
• Sit: Juwan Johnson vs MIN (7.7, 29th), despite averaging 15.1 fantasy points a game.

Plain English

• Implied team total: How many points the betting market expects a team to score, worked out from the spread and the total. Bigger number, more touchdowns to go around.
• PPR points allowed: Fantasy points (one point per catch) a defense has given up to a position each game. High number, soft matchup.
