Quarterback: Tom Brady $7,900

Seriously, this Kansas City Chiefs-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game is worth the price of admission. It has 2018 Rams-Chiefs potential, where the quarterbacks combined for 10 touchdowns. With the offensive firepower on each team, the defenses don’t have much of a chance. Both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes will look to outduel the other, and Bruce Arians and Andy Reid will look to one up the other in this shootout.

There is going to be a lot of creative offense that should lead to points galore both on the scoreboard and for fantasy players.

Brady is the pick over Mahomes based on price alone. The six-time Super Bowl Champ is $1,100 less than the reigning Super Bowl MVP. They can both put up 30-40 points this week even while facing a good pass rush. These two could score four touchdowns apiece.

Brady is gaining more chemistry with Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski is starting to look like one of the better pass-catching tight ends (which isn’t saying much this season), Chris Godwin is one week healthier, and Mike Evans seems on the verge of a breakout. This doesn’t even consider the fallback option of Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette out of the backfield. Brady has a litany of options to throw to. And he has every motivation to hit them all early and often.

Other Options: Mahomes $9,100, Taysom Hill $7,300
