Geoff Ulrich:

It’s all the way down at the bottom again—look, everyone’s going to play Jalen Hurts. The Detroit Lions are at home—and you know, Jalen Hurts will turn the ball over. Maybe the game does end up being like 30 to 28, but Hurts ends up with three turnovers and the Lions get a pick. They’re the min-price—it’s also a nice move in big-field GPPs. Jalen Hurts is going to be the most-owned quarterback, and you get leverage against the field by playing the defense on the other side. So the Lions definitely stick out.

Geoff’s Pick: Detroit Lions ($2,000)
