Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $16.2K, FanDuel $16K)

Tournaments: Baker Mayfield, QB, Los Angeles Rams (Draftkings $15K, FanDuel $14K)
Baker Mayfield was impressive in his debut as a Ram on Thursday Night Football. Many DFS players will lean into the safety of Aaron Rodgers over the unknown of Baker Mayfield.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Aaron Jones, RB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $16.8K, FanDuel $16.8K)
Aaron Jones is the most dynamic player on offense for either side as a runner and receiver.
Tournament: Cam Akers, RB, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $12.3K, FanDuel $12.3K)
Cam Akers has gone from scrap heap to top back for the Rams. Akers has played well recently, and the way to defeat the Packers' defense is on the ground. Expect the Rams to lean on their running game to take the pressure off QB Baker Mayfield.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers (DraftKings $13.2K, FanDuel $13.2K)
Christian Watson is the chalk play at the receiver position for either team. It is remarkable how Christian Watson transformed from a raw prospect rarely seeing the field to a player with a unique skill set, earning the trust of future Hall-of-Fame QB Aaron Rodgers. The rapport that Watson and Rodgers have built in the second half of the season has been remarkable.
The Rams have been horrible against the Fantasy WR position all season long. Expect the Packers to move Christian Watson around the formation, scheming him open. Watson is a slam-dunk play for Monday Night.
Tournament: Van Jefferson, WR, Los Angeles Rams (DraftKings $10.2K, FanDuel $10.2K)
With Baker Mayfield under center, we should anticipate more juice from the Los Angeles Rams offense. The Rams have had 11 days to prepare for this match-up, so expect Mayfield to be more prepared for Monday Night Football. Van Jefferson is the player on offense that has the opportunity to provide plays down the field consistently. Van Jefferson is a good route runner and can take the top off the defense with big plays down the field. If you're looking for a wildcard play for tournaments on Monday Night, Van Jefferson is your guy.
