Best NFL Plays of the Week: Puka Nacua Has the Highest Ceiling on the Slate

Let me just give you a list of what the following quarterbacks have done against the Jaguars in the previous three weeks: CJ Stroud threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns, Jake Browning threw for 354 yards and one touchdown, and Joe Flacco threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns. The Jaguars have also allowed five rushing touchdowns to opposing QBs. How are you telling me that Jackson is not a best play?

Running Back

Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys

We've been waiting for the Tony Pollard big week for what seems like all season, and I think it might just happen against Buffalo. Dallas likes to throw to set up the run which should lead to some gaping holes in the Buffalo defensive line. Buffalo has allowed the fourth most receiving yards to opposing running backs as well as the fourth most yards per catch. I think Pollard is in play and I would start him without any reservation.

Wide Receiver

Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams

Whether you're trying to win in seasonal leagues or in DFS you're looking for players who have the nuclear ceiling. Nacua is that player in Week 15. Washington lets up the most receiving yards as well as the second most receiving touchdowns. They also allow an insane 10.12 YPT. This feels like a boom game where Puka scores about 25-30 fantasy points.

Tight End

T.J. Hockenson, Minnesota Vikings

The Bengals let up 8.50 YPT against opposing tight ends which is the third highest in the league. They also let up an 80% catch rate which is the second highest in the league. Two weeks ago Evan Engram had nine catches for 82 yards and a touchdown against them. And just last week a guy named Will Mallory had five receptions. What do you think a stud like T.J. Hockenson is going to do? I think he's going to be a best play!
