Underdog Fantasy Thanksgiving Day Top Plays 11/27

Happy Thanksgiving! What better tradition than having HIGHER than 2.5 games on all day? Before your Turkey Bowl game starts let’s find you some plays to have you feeling thankful by the end of the night. Week 13 gets you started with Green Bay at Detroit while you prep dinner, Kansas City at Dallas midway through, and finally Cincinnati at Baltimore for dessert.

Jahmyr Gibbs HIGHER Than 4.5 receptions

I immediately knew I wanted to have a contest with Jahmyr Gibbs on it. The question was rushing or receiving. He is obviously Detroit’s leading rusher, but he is also second on team in both receptions and targets. He can easily go HIGHER on his rush yards and receiving yards any given Sunday. What really stuck out to me was the amount of receptions he had the first time he played Green Bay this season. He had 10 receptions on 10 targets Week 1. Half that amount is very feasible, especially since Green Bay is allowing 5.7 receptions per game to running backs. Look for Gibbs to feast in the early game.

Patrick Mahomes HIGHER Than 270.5 passing yards

On the surface this projection looks pretty high. That is not exactly wrong. Every team is allowing less than 260 passing yards per game this season. Kansas City and Dallas are the top two passing teams in the league, passing for 257.7 and 268.8 yards per game respectively. This matchup has the making of a shootout. In his past give games, Patrick Mahomes has gone HIGHER that this projection four times. This is an ideal matchup for Mahomes to flirt with a 300 yard game.

Chase Brown HIGHER Than 20.5 receiving yards

Is Chase Brown back? I sure hope so. You know who is back? Joe Burrow. This should work in Chase’s favor in both his run game and pass game. Chase has gone HIGHER than this projection in his last four games. In fact, his projection has been slowly rising before this article. This is a good game to see what a healthy Cincinnati offense can do. Chase Brown should play a big part in that.

Zay Flowers HIGHER Than 66.5 receiving yards

Cincinnati’s defense has been atrocious all year. They are giving up the most passing yards than any other team this season. Zay Flowers has gone over this projection six times this year, three of those coming in the last five games. Who better to take advantage of this terrible defense than the leading receiver on his team. He has nearly 500 more receiving yards than the second leading receiver on the team. In fact he has more receiving yards than the three receivers below him combined. This game has the potential for Zay to receive his flowers.
