Geoff Ulrich:

I’m going to go with Kyler Murray, and I talked about him earlier in the week, but at $7300, I think a lot of people are going to be looking at Kyler and say, oh, it’s the Rams, we can’t roster a Cardinal against the Rams. The Rams are just too good. The Rams’ defense has not been good to start the year. They were allowing pretty big plays to Marcus Mariota, like 7.5 yards per attempt. And you know, Week 1 they got decimated by the Buffalo Bills’ offense as well.

I really, really like the way Kyler Murray ended that game last week against the Raiders. They’re going to be at home. I think Kyler Murray and the Cardinals actually might put up a fight this week, and I know I’ve been super negative on them, but I have to give Kyler Murray some respect here.

Marquise Brown, another week integrated into the offense is good. Hopefully, Zach Ertz can be a little bit more healthy. But I think Kyler Murray shows up and I think at $7300, that is a player that I think will have low sentiment this week—anytime you get low ownership on a guy who’s got as much rushing upside as Kyler, you can take a shot with him.

Pearce Dietrich:

Let’s talk about low ownership and a discount and go with Mac Jones. He looked better last week and he’s in a really interesting matchup. The Ravens allowed Joe Flacco to throw for 300 yards in Week 1, and then 469 yards allowed last week by the Ravens’ secondary. That’s a lot of yards. That’s not necessarily a fluke. It seems to me that the Ravens’ secondary has got a little bit of a problem—a lot of miscommunication, just poor play.

Mac Jones is going to be in a position to take advantage of that. And I expect this game to shoot out just like you saw last week. The Ravens are going to move the ball, they’re going to score points. The Patriots are going to have to play catch up or keep pace, and the way that they have to do that is to throw the ball.

You get Mac Jones really cheap. He’s probably going to go really low owned, unless this starts to heat up, but I think Mac Jones is the play.

Geoff’s Pick: Kyler Murray ($7,300)

Pearce’s Pick: Mac Jones ($5,100)
