Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Lamar Jackson (TRUST): This is an excellent layout for the Baltimore offense to come out of the bye and light up the scoreboard.
Jackson is the QB1 in fantasy points per game and facing a Giants team closing out the season in contention for the first pick in the draft (which they currently hold).
The Giants lost their best pass rusher this season, Dexter Lawrence, and have struggled when they have failed to get to the opposing quarterback.
They held up on Sunday against the Saints, but this test is entirely different.
When the Giants fail to get to the quarterback, they have allowed a league-high 79.7% completion rate and 8.6 yards per pass attempt (30th).
From a clean pocket, Jackson leads the NFL with a 125.6 rating, completing 75% of his passes (8th), with league-highs in yards per pass attempt (9.7 Y/A) and touchdown rate (7.6%).
Tommy DeVito: DeVito is back under center this week as Drew Lock is dealing with a foot injury.
DeVito was the QB24 (10.8 points) when he started against Tampa Bay in Week 12.
Things got off to a rocky start for the passing game in that matchup.
DeVito was only 3-of-5 passing for 31 yards at the half.
With the game one-sided, things opened for DeVito in the second half, connecting on 18-of-26 passes for 158 yards.
He added 32 yards rushing.
DeVito is a back-end QB2 as a massive underdog attached to a subterranean team total.
If you have to sell yourself on the matchup steering the box score more than Lock himself, the Ravens are 31st in passing points allowed per game (17.2).
