Next: Best NFL player from each state

This lineup is a little more diverse than the previous iteration. It starts with Cam Newton, whose floor is about as low as any player this week with his rushing ability and a weak Philadelphia secondary. Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys defense is one of my favorite stacks of the week. With a cold and windy Sunday, there could be a defensive battle in the nation’s capital. Nick Chubb was discussed above but is the bellcow now with Carlos Hyde in Jacksonville.

At receiver, the trio of Cooks, Diggs and Tate are high-upside plays that are afforded because of the savings at running back and defense. Trey Burton is a value tight end that has huge upside against a weak set of New England linebackers, especially if Allen Robinson misses the game. Finally Marquise Goodwin, who was described above, has the opportunity for a big game against a Rams defense that will likely relax with the team having a commanding lead.

Good luck today!
