MVP/Captain - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Drake Maye - QB, $15,600 (DK), $15,000 (FD)
The Jaguars defense has been giving up many fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Drake Maye went up against a solid defense in his first start against the Texans and did fairly well. He finished with three touchdowns on the day, but he also needs to clean up his game after finishing with two interceptions.
He has a chance to improve on that start against a very vulnerable defense. Last week, we saw Caleb Williams do very well against the Jaguars in London. Maye should be able to do the same as long as he is given time to throw the ball.
#Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye on #Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams:
“Had a big win over the (Jaguars)… made some plays on the move. Biggest thing with him, I thought he made some nice throws. That’s the thing we last week, I feel like there’s some throws I wish I had back…… pic.twitter.com/3IJtiOU51I

Tank Bigsby - RB, $13,200 (DK), $13,500 (FD)
Travis Etienne Jr. is once again questionable and a game-time decision. Last week, he played one down and then didn't finish the game, resulting in negative points. New England has given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this year. It has been one of the more exploitable parts of its defense.
Bigsby wasn't able to do much work against Chicago last week, resulting in 24 yards, but he should be able to get it going this week in Etienne's absence if that is the case. Make sure to keep an eye on the injury report and make changes as necessary.
65.9% of Tank Bigsby’s rush attempts have come on man/gap concepts this season (5th-most).
The Patriots have surrendered 5.80 YPC (3rd-most) and the 9th-highest success rate (52.7%) to man/gap.

Flex Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Evan Engram - TE, $7,000 (DK), $12,500 (FD)
Evan Engram returned to the field last week and made an immediate impact, as he caught all 10 targets for 102 receiving yards. He did pop up on the injury report and is sitting with a questionable tag. So keep an eye on that, but otherwise, he is sitting around a roughly 60-70% snap share this season (small sample size), which should give him a sizable role in this offense.
Demario Douglas - WR, $8,000 (DK), $9,500 (FD)
It's a small sample size but it seems that DeMario Douglas has been one of Maye's favored targets. Douglas came out as the highest-scoring fantasy receiver for the Patriots last week with 18.2 fantasy points.
On top of this, the Jaguars have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing WRs. This is a great spot for Douglas to have back-to-back great games and solidify himself as the WR1 in New England.
Other Flex Options: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis
Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks
Hunter Henry - TE, $5,600 (DK), $9,000 (FD)
Hunter Henry has been a little hit-and-miss this season, but we just saw the same defense get blown up in the end zone by Cole Kmet, who had two touchdowns. Henry was targeted five times last week in Maye's debut, including a catch for 31 yards.
Jacksonville has given up the most touchdowns to TEs in the league this season as well. Henry is on the high end of being cheap, but on FD, there isn't much to choose from.
Kayshon Boutte - WR, $3,600 (DK), $7,500 (FD)
For the same reasons I listed earlier with DeMario Douglas, I like Boutte, too. He was able to bring in all three of his targets for 59 yards last week as well as a touchdown. This Jaguars defense is very vulnerable in the passing game and I see Maye being able to have his way with it.
Other Value Plays: D'Ernest Johnson, Cam Little
Enjoy your night, and good luck, everyone!
