CASH GAMES
Quarterbacks
Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
1 | Sam Howell | vs. Cardinals | $4,900 |
2 | Anthony Richardson | vs. Jaguars | $5,600 |
Sam Howell is a dual-threat quarterback who threw for 92 touchdowns in three seasons at North Carolina and ran for 828 yards and 11 touchdowns in his final season in college. He costs only $4,900 yet gets to play at home against the projected worst team in the league this season. The Commanders are seven point favorites.
Anthony Richardson is 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds and tested as the most athletic quarterback in NFL history. He offers things that can't be taught: Size, athleticism, and flick of the wrist deep arm talent. The Colts and new head coach Shane Steichen have made it clear they're going full steam ahead with Richardson in a season they understand is all about getting Richardson as much experience as possible. Richardson costs just $5,600 and gets to play at home in the dome against a Jaguars defense that ranked 20th in Expected Points Added per Play (EPA) Allowed, 24th in Dropback EPA Allowed, and 24th in Success Rate. Richardson provides tantalizing rushing floor/ceiling.
Running Backs
Rank | Play | Opponent | Salary |
1 | Raheem Mostert | at Chargers | $5,400 |
2 | Dameon Pierce | at Ravens | $5,800 |
3 | Jamaal Williams | vs. Titans | $5,500 |
4 | Rachaad White | at Vikings | $5,500 |
5 | Antonio Gibson | vs. Cardinals | $5,200 |
6 | Derrick Henry | at Saints | $7,800 |
Jeff Wilson will miss the beginning of the season which opens up more playing time and projected touches for Raheem Mostert. Rookie De'Von Achane looks ready to roll in his first career game but Mostert should be expected to lead this backfield in Week 1. Priced at only $5,400, Mostert gets to attack a Chargers run defense that ranked 27th in Rush EPA Allowed in 2022.
