Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Mac Jones: Jones has not closed a week higher than QB21 since Week 1.
Things have gotten really bad as he has been benched in each of the past two weeks, ending as the QB37 in fantasy scoring in each of the past two games.
Jones has faced three good defenses in a row in the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints, but there is not much we can latch onto here to go to Jones as more than a forced play out of necessity in 2QB formats.
Even if looking at the Raiders as a matchup boost, Las Vegas has allowed opposing passers to complete fewer than 60% of their passes in each of the past three games, and that includes Justin Herbert.
When these teams played a year ago, Jones was 13-of-31 (41.9%) for 112 yards.
