KEY STRATEGY TIPS
Start with confidence:
- Washington - Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel
- Green Bay - Josh Jacobs, Brandon McManus
Start them if you need to:
- Washington - Jacory (Bill) Croskey-Merritt, Austin Ekeler, Zach Ertz, Matt Gay
- Green Bay - Jordan Love, Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Tucker Kraft
Sit them if you can:
- Washington - Noah Brown, WAS DST
- Green Bay - Dontayvion Wicks, GB DST
My favorite Splash Sports QuickPick:
Jacory (Bill) Croskey-Merritt +40.5 rushing yds AND Matthew Golden +36.5 receiving ydsI believe the lines are not accounting enough for the expected increase in usage for both rookies. Despite the Packers shutting down the Lions entire offense, Croskey-Merritt, coming off being PFF’s Week 1 top-rated rusher, should continue to see his role increase and can easily surpass the 40.5 rushing yards line with minor efficiency.
And for the Packers, coming off only 22 passing attempts, I expect them to have to pass more with Matthew Golden’s snap share continuing to rise.
