Studs
These are the top-projected players on the slate. I'd recommend having at least three of these players in most of your lineups, either as captain or in a flex spot.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($11,000) has 29 targets on 82.7% route participation. He’ll face a Cardinals defense that has allowed the 5th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season.
Kyler Murray ($10,800) leads a Cardinals defense ranked 4th in pass rate over expectation (PROE). He’ll face a Seahawks defense that has allowed the 6th-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
