Best NFL Plays of the Week: Jared Goff is a Lock at Home

Sometimes we overcomplicate things but this week it's pretty easy to just put Jalen Hurts in the lineup and not even think twice about it. The Eagles have been dominating on offense and Hurts seems to be extremely confident in throwing to A.J. Brown who has been sensational for the past month. I'm thinking Hurts has a really good chance at 300 yards and two touchdowns.
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
If you know me by now then you know that my rule is to always start Goff at home where I think he's a virtual lock for 250 passing yards and two touchdowns. Even better this week, you get the Monday night game where if you're behind you got a good chance to come back and pull out that victory.
Running Back
Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs
I know it seems crazy to think that Pacheco was a disappointment last week but I think he was because most experts, including myself, thought that he probably would have gotten 100 yards and two touchdowns. I think that's going to happen against Denver and I feel really confident in using him as I can't imagine the Chiefs not scoring about 31 points in this game.
Breece Hall, New York Jets
I mentioned earlier this season in an article on DrRoto.com that Hall has a sensational stretch of games coming up where he should dominate. The Giants have played much better defense recently but the Jets are committed to giving Hall the football and I see him getting about 25 touches which should lead him to about 100 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown.
Wide Receiver
Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens
The Cardinals play a ton of zone coverage and Flowers has been one of the top receivers in the league against zone defenses. Lamar Jackson is playing very confidently right now and although I don't think the Ravens will need to throw a ton I still see Flowers getting six or seven receptions in this game.
Drake London, Atlanta Falcons
Tennessee plays a lot of man coverage and it's almost impossible to cover London in that type of scheme because he's so big, so fast, and so strong. Most teams have been daring Desmond Ridder to throw against them and I think he will do that again this week and probably throw for close to 230 to 240 yards. If that happens I expect that London will get about 80 yards and a touchdown in this game.
Tight End
Darren Waller, New York Giants
The Jets have let up the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends and with Tyrod Taylor at Quarterback for the Giants, Waller has looked more confident than he looked all season with Daniel Jones. Waller feels like he's got a really good chance for a touchdown and about 70 or 80 yards.
Jake Ferguson, Dallas Cowboys
The Rams give up the third most points against opposing tight ends and they let up over 9 yards per target. Not only do I think that Ferguson is a good play, but I think he's got probably the most touchdown equity for any tight end on the slate.
