Fantasy managers must learn to trust some receivers who have produced backup quarterbacks. Malik Nabers will have Drew Lock, who saw 23 targets in two games that his quarterback started. He still has a top-15 upside. Drake London and Darnell Mooney are big question marks with Michael Penix Jr. starting as quarterback. The rookie quarterback has a history of throwing the ball deep, but does the coaching staff allow him to do that?
Jerry Jeudy‘s upside is capped with Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. If you need to take a risk, then go with Jeudy. He is a FLEX, but you never know if the Browns will make a halftime switch back to Jameis Winston. It may be worth the gamble this week.
We will see Marquise Brown make his Chiefs debut in Week 16 but don’t expect much in this first game. I also don’t expect the passing game to thrive, even with Patrick Mahomes getting in a full practice this week. We could see the run game get leaned on.
