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.
Josh Jacobs ($11,000) has 111 carries and 20 targets on 43.7% route participation in 6 games. He’ll face a Steelers defense that has allowed the 9th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game over the past 5 weeks (SAFPPGL5) to running backs.
Jordan Love ($10,000) leads a Packers offense ranked 19th in pass rate over expectation (PROE). He’ll face a Steelers defense that has allowed the 4th-most SAFPPGL5 to quarterbacks.
