Underdog Fantasy Sunday Top Plays 10/12

In this weekly series, the crew will break down their top plays for the day and tell you why you should target them! This Sunday boasts numerous games of bad defenses matched up against fun offenses on paper, and it could lead to a lot of high scoring and fantasy football fun this week. Let’s take a look at some Underdog plays to win ourselves some money.

Javonte Williams HIGHER than 76.5 Rush Yards

Javonte Williams has been something special for the Dallas Cowboys this season, and he continues to be a consistent force for them on the ground. Week 1 was Williams’ lowest output so far this season, with 15 carries for 54 rushing yards. He is averaging more than 15 carries per game currently (Week 3, he had 10), and facing this Carolina Panthers’ defense, he’ll be used to kill the clock in the second half. No one in Dallas is cutting into his carries, and it will most likely stay that way.

Emeka Egbuka HIGHER than 77.5 Receiving Yards

You can take any play of Emeka Egbuka on Sunday and you’ll most likely be fine. Mike Evans has been ruled out once again, and now Chris Godwin is week-to-week with a fibula injury. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing the San Francisco 49ers, and their defense allows some big plays to opposing wide receivers, like 7/11 and being open 24/7. Egbuka should line up across from Renardo Green, and we saw what DaVante Adams did to Green last week. The young Bucaneers receiver has now exceeded 77.5 receiving yards in three straight games and will be a huge target on Sunday for Baker Mayfield.

Stefon Diggs HIGHER Than 5.5 Receptions

Stefon Diggs had a slow start to the NFL season, but for good reason, as he was still recovering from his ACL injury last season. He has now become Drake Mayes’ number one target in the past two weeks. He has recorded six receptions for 101 receiving yards in Week 4 and 10 receptions for 146 yards in Week 5. Diggs will have New Orleans Saints corner Quincy Riley, lining up on the opposite side from him, giving him another favorable matchup.

Ladd McConkey LOWER than 55.5 Receiving Yards

There is no hate on Ladd McConkey, but in Los Angeles, he’s currently not getting the benefits of being the best available option at wide receiver. McConkey receives the targets and has made due on receptions but has only exceeded 56 receiving yards once (in Week 1). Both Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen have better matchups on Sunday. Now, Miami’s defense is bad, and any of the three wide receivers can do damage. That just hasn’t been the case for McConkey in his second season.

Daniel Jones HIGHER than 233.5 Passing Yards

We can all choose to ignore it, but Daniel Jones is having an MVP year so far through five games, and that should not stop on Sunday. Jones and the Indianapolis Colts will be facing off against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals are allowing 254.2 passing yards per game, and they will have to figure out how to stop Indiana Jones and Jonathan Taylor. Jones has exceeded 234 passing yards in three of his five games, and the two games he didn’t were against Tennessee and Las Vegas. Those two teams have been able to hold quarterbacks to under 233 yards so far this season. If the Cardinals’ defense can’t come out hot and stop the Colts’ offense, expect Jones to dominate through the air.
