Quarterback Plays for Fantasy Aces

Drew Brees (vs. DET, $7,850)

Brees is the clear-cut top quarterback option on this slate while also ranking as the most expensive. He will definitely be worth paying up for against Detroit. The Saints will be taking on a leaky Lions pass defense at home, where Brees has been absolutely dominant this season. New Orleans is coming off of hanging 49 points on the Rams last week and they very well could eclipse that number this weekend against Detroit. Brees' home numbers are exceptional this season, with him completing 71% of his passes for 2,142 yards, 19 touchdowns, and four interceptions...in six games!

Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. IND, $5,700)

Fitzpatrick is a solid second quarterback on Aces this weekend and his low salary will help you shoehorn Drew Brees into those lineups. If Fitzpatrick was ever going to reclaim the (Fitz)magic he showed in 2015, it should come against the Colts. Indianapolis has one of the worst defenses in the league, ranking 30th in pass defense and 31st in run defense according to Football Outsiders' DVOA ratings. Fitzpatrick has been playing better as of late and was solid (save for an untimely fumble) against the Patriots last weekend, throwing for two touchdowns and 269 yards. Dollar for dollar, Fitzpatrick's salary is one of the best values for a quarterback on Fantasy Aces this weekend.

Running Back Plays for Fantasy Aces

LeSean McCoy (@ OAK, $5,700)

McCoy showed us last week that he doesn't need a fully healthy thumb to tear through opposing defenses. The Bills' star running back rolled up 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Jaguars. He draws an exceptional matchup against the Raiders this weekend in a game which has sneaky shootout potential. With Sammy Watkins experiencing foot pain after just one game back, there's a chance the Bills will have to deploy a run-heavy attack against an Oakland run defense that ranks just 27th in the league in DVOA. As he showed last week, McCoy has just as much upside as David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell, but he comes at a significantly cheaper price than they do. 

Jordan Howard (vs. SF, $5,300)

Jay Ajayi failed to cash in on a pristine matchup against a weak San Francisco run defense last week, but the multitude of injuries on Miami's offensive line surely had a hand in that. Don't let Ajayi's slow game play into your decision-making this weekend as Jordan Howard is a fantastic play. Howard has been leading the Chicago offense lately, racking up 414 yards and a touchdown over his past four games. He should retain his lead back role against a 49ers defense that is allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this year.

Wide Receiver Plays for Fantasy Aces

Brandon Marshall (vs. IND, $4,900)

Marshall has worked through a rather disappointing second season with the Jets, mostly due to the poor quarterback play New York has seen. That being said, Marshall is coming off one of his most productive games since Week 5 and gets a great matchup against the Colts. Indianapolis' best defensive back, Vernon Davis, has been injured or ineffective for most of the season. That gives Marshall a significant advantage against a Colts pass defense which is ranked 30th in DVOA according to Football Outsiders. A Ryan Fitzpatrick/Marshall stack is worth having some exposure to on Fantasy Aces this weekend.

Larry Fitzgerald (vs. WAS, $4,850)

Fitzgerald is coming off a slow day where he saw just four targets, the least he's had all year. Look for the veteran to bounce back this week against a Washington pass defense which has been tough on outside receivers, but that can be beaten by receivers out of the slot. Josh Norman, Washington's best corner, doesn't usually venture into the slot, meaning he will likely spend most of his time squaring off against Michael Floyd and J.J. Nelson. Look for Fitzgerald to be primarily covered by Kendall Fuller, who has just a 50.8 grade on Pro Football Focus. Fitzgerald should be able to take advantage of this matchup for the Cardinals and should go back to being his normal productive self this weekend.

Tight End Play for Fantasy Aces

Eric Ebron (@ NO, $4,600)

This is a perfect spot to use Ebron after his goose egg disappointed daily players this past Thanksgiving. Detroit's tight end only saw one target against the Vikings, but on the year he's averaging 6.1 targets per game and should remain a big part of the Lions' offense in what will be a shootout against the Saints. New Orleans' pass defense is 21st in the league in DVOA against enemy tight ends, giving Ebron a favorable matchup this weekend.  

Defense/Special Teams Play for Fantasy Aces

Baltimore Ravens (vs. MIA, $3,000)

The Broncos, Patriots, and Ravens are all in really good spots this weekend, but the Ravens check in $400 cheaper on Aces, making them the preferred play. Miami has leaned extensively on the run game during their recent success but they could struggle to find room to run against the number one ranked run defense in the league. If the Ravens shut down Jay Ajayi and the Dolphins run game, as can be reasonably expected, then Miami will have to lean on Ryan Tannehill and the passing attack in attempts to win this game. We saw in the beginning of the season that this is not a recipe for success for the Fins. Miami has the third-lowest implied team total on the slate against a fearsome Ravens defense which is playing at home. Tee up the Ravens defense with confidence this weekend.
