- Sam Ehlinger $4,000 – We get a QB under $5k this week and he is priced at only $4,000 which will open up a lot for the rest of your lineup but it will also make him one of the more popular plays. Matt Ryan is out with an injury and the Colts plan is the start Sam Ehlinger for the rest of the season. Ehlinger is a rushing QB which makes it easier to build cash game lineups with him because we don’t need to stack him with anybody and he should have a decent floor with his legs. He can also sling it with his arm and we have a number of options we can stack with in GPPs that shouldn’t gain too much ownership. I will be loading up on Ehlinger this week and taking advantage of this $4k QB week.
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger (4) throws the ball during the game against the Detroit Lions on Saturday, August 20, 2022 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions are tied at the half, 13-13.

- Garrett Wilson $4,200 or Elijah Moore $4,700 – Corey Davis is out this week with a knee injury so that will leave Wilson and Moore as the top 2 WRs that should dominate the target share in week 8. Garrett Wilson leads the team in targets and receptions but he hasn’t had a good game with Zach Wilson at QB yet. He is a solid talent though and we aren’t risking much at $4.2k so I like him as a cheap WR option this week. Elijah Moore sat out last week after requesting a trade but he still leads the WRs on the team in total snaps and we have seen him connect with Zach Wilson last year. Both of these WRs have big play upside and they shouldn’t get too much ownership. I am willing to take some shots on one or the other for under $5k each.
- Noah Fant $2,800 – Noah Fant’s snap share has increased each week of the season since week 2. DK Metcalf is going to be out with an injury this week and that should open up some extra targets for Fant and the rest of the offense. Fant is only $2.8k this week and we have him projected as the top Fpts/$ at the position. Fant doesn’t have the highest ceiling but he did average over 8.5 DK points the 3 weeks before last and he will be a cash game target for me at this price tag.
- Kyle Pitts $4,000 – Kyle Pitts has been awful this year but he is too good of a talent to give up on. He is only $4k this week and he makes for a solid mini-stack option with a chalky DJ Moore. There are no elite TE options on this week’s slate so Pitts has one of the higher ceilings with his big play upside and he will be one of my top 3 options in GPPs this week at the position.
- Tyler Higbee $4,200 – Week 6 was Higbee’s only bad week this season and he has been a solid cash game plug-and-play at TE prior to that. He has been Matthew Stafford’s 2nd favorite receiver to target this season and he has been a consistent cheap option at the position. I am fine going right back to Higbee this week after a bye and he is currently the 3rd highest projected Fpts/$ play at TE behind the other two guys I already mentioned.
