Drew Brees : The 41-year old returned from multiple injuries last week against the Chiefs in a 32-29 loss. He put up 234 yards, 3 TDs and an INT while completing only 15-34 of his passes. It was clearly a rusty showing from the veteran as he was missing open receivers all game long. However, having such a bad game and still totaling 20 fantasy points is a feat in itself. On Christmas Day, the Saints take on a young Minnesota secondary which could work in Brees' favor. Look for him to exploit the inexperience of the defense and have an even better fantasy performance than last weekend. Tua Tagovailoa : Tua has been boom or bust seemingly all season since taking the starting job from Fitzpatrick. After a tough showing last week in which he only threw for 145 yards without many key weapons, he'll look to bounce back in a favorable matchup against the Raiders. Las Vegas has been brutally inefficient at stopping the pass all season long and Tua will likely get DeVante Parker and Mik

Mitchell Trubisky : Last week, Trubisky regained the starting role for Chicago in relief of a struggling Nick Foles. In a lopsided loss to the Packers, he threw for 242 yards with 3 TDs, 2 INTs and a fumble while scoring 20 fantasy points. This weekend, the Bears will host the Lions who Trubisky had his best game of the season against in week 1. Detroit is in free fall at the moment with the firing of Matt Patricia over the weekend and they continue to give up big QB performances. Trubisky will be eager to maintain his starting job and will be able to record at least 20 fantasy points against a bad defense. Kirk Cousins : Cousins has quietly been a solid start over the last four weeks averaging about 22 fantasy points per game over that span. This weekend, Minnesota will host Jacksonville who gives up the 3rd most fantasy points to the QB position. With Dalvin Cook being somewhat banged up, look for the Vikings to throw the ball more than they normally would. Thielen coming back to the

Start 'Em Tom Brady : Brady has been somewhat inconsistent this year but has bounced back after his rough weeks. After his two TO performance and a tough loss to the Rams, there's no doubt he'll be hungry to redeem himself this week. With the Chiefs coming to Tampa, it's a battle of the GOAT against the future of the NFL and Brady is going to want to out-perform Mahomes. This should be a high-scoring affair and the Bucs need this win to stay in the NFC South race. Brady knows what's at stake and won't have a repeat of his game last week. Fire him up as a possible top 5 QB option this week. Wayne Gallman : Gallman has been a quiet RB2 in his last four starts and has established himself as a must-start. He's gone up against Philadelphia twice, Washington and Tampa Bay in those starts who are all top 10 in rush defense. He's managed 253 total yards and 5 TDs in that span which is outstanding considering the opposition. This week, the NYG gets to play the Be

Carson Wentz : Wentz is in the middle of an abysmal season and Doug Peterson is being called on to bench him. Wentz knows he needs to step it up as the Eagles are right in the mix to win the NFC East. This week, the Eagles will play host to Seattle and their league-worst passing defense. This is Wentz's chance to prove that he is still worthy of starting for Philadelphia. In every game the Seahawks have played, opposing QBs have had some of the best games of their careers. If Wentz doesn't have a great game, his fantasy value for the rest of the season is absolutely none. If you stream QBs, Wentz is a good option as he has to show up for his team against a horrible secondary. Derek Carr : Carr has been a surprisingly consistent fantasy option this year and has a mouthwatering matchup in Atlanta this weekend. Coming off a tough loss against KC in which Carr passed for 275 yards, 3 TDs and an INT, he's poised for another big game. Atlanta has been stout against the run all ye

Start 'Em Ben Roethlisberger : Roethlisberger was playing solid ball up until two weeks ago when he decided to show fantasy owners he's still got it. He's passed for 639 yards and 7 TDs in that span while throwing no INTs. Pittsburgh has Smith-Schuster, Claypool and Johnson as their top 3 WRs which gives Roethlisberger three of the league's top threats to choose from. This week, he gets a good matchup in Jacksonville as he looks to keep his hot streak alive. With James Conner and the running game struggling, Big Ben could be carrying the load offensively once again. Fire him up as a top 5 play this week. Kalen Ballage : Ballage has taken over the Chargers backfield over the past two weeks and will be starting once more before Ekeler's projected week 12 return. In two games as a starter, he has combined for 186 total yards and a score. This week, the Chargers play host to the Jets who have given up 27 fantasy points a game to opposing RBs, and Ballage should be able

Alex Smith : It's been two years since Smith's gruesome leg injury against the Texans in 2018. In his first two games back from injury he has passed for over 700 total yards with a TD and 3 INTs. These numbers aren't great for fantasy by any means but they do show that he has been successful in moving the ball. This week, Washington plays host to the Bengals who have one of the league's worst pass defenses. There's no doubt that Smith will be able to move the ball in this one. As long as Gibson doesn't vulture his TDs like he did last week, Smith should be able to have a 20+ point fantasy performance. Damien Harris : Harris has already made an appearance on my sleepers list but didn't have the game I had hoped for. This week, in Houston, I believe he'll have his biggest game of the season. In week 10, he rushed the ball 22 times for 121 against Baltimore's stout rush defense. If he can do that against one of the league's best, he should be able t
