Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is in my player pool that weekend for DFS.
This article series covers exactly that.
Every week, I will go through the players I am targeting to play in DFS for all games, tournaments, and game stacks.
The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.

It is not that tournament players cannot be used in cash games.
If a player here works out for your team structure in cash games surrounding your primary core, use them.
These are just the players that come with some element of inherent risk but are the primary players that I still want to be ahead of the field compared to the percentage of rosters they are projected to make this weekend.
I will analyze the player selections and game writeups, but for a detailed breakdown of the players and games, check out the Week 11 Worksheet.

Quarterback
Bo Nix ($6,200 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
Nix continues to play well and deliver viable fantasy lines.
He closed last week as QB12 (16.1 points), completing 73.3% of his passes with 2 touchdowns against a good Kansas City defense.
Nix has finished QB17 or higher in six straight games with four QB1 scoring weeks over that stretch.
Atlanta has allowed a QB1 scorer in three of their past four games, a run that includes Geno Smith (17.8 points) and Derek Carr (20.5 points) last week.
The Falcons are 30th in the NFL in terms of pressure rate (26.5%).
When they have not gotten pressure, they have allowed a 75.8% completion rate (30th) and a 4.2% touchdown rate (19th).
When Nix has not been pressured over his past six games, he has completed 72.1% of his passes for 7.8 yards per attempt with 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
When pressured, he has completed 43.6% of his passes for 4.0 Y/A with 2 interceptions.
Nix has not run around as much lately (he has single-digit rushing yards in four of his past seven games), but we know he can use his legs.
He has produced 25 or more yards on the ground in six games.
That is relevant because Atlanta has allowed 30.4 rushing yards per game to quarterbacks, which is 30th in the league.
Anthony Richardson ($5,300/$6,400)
Richardson takes a leap of faith after being reinserted into the lineup this weekend.
I will not try to sell you Richardson as a safe play. This is all about one outcome at a low enough price.
You can also play Richardson without a stacking partner.
The Jets’ defense has wavered since firing Robert Saleh, allowing 7.8 yards per attempt (25th).
Where there is an added path for Richardson is with his legs.
The Jets have allowed 5.3 rushing points per game to quarterbacks (30th).
