Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Zach Wilson, QB, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.1K, FanDuel $6.4K)
Zach Wilson, against this burnable Lions' secondary is the safest option in this game. You read that correctly. What a world!
Tournaments: Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions (Draftkings $5.7K, FanDuel $7.3K)
Jared Goff has been terrific recently. The Lions are scoring in bunches. Here's where the rubber meets the road. Goff is on the road against a good defense in the New York Jets. What QB will we get under center on Sunday?

Best running back picks
Cash Games: D'Andre Swift, RB, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $5.7K, FanDuel $6.6K)
It is tough to trust D'Andre Swift, I get it. The Lions coaching staff stated that D'Andre Swift is 100% healthy for this contest, and this game could have sneaky shoot-out potential. Play Swift with confidence.
Tournament: Zonovan Knight, RB, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.3K, FanDuel $7.2K)
Zonovan Knight has taken over the Jets' backfield. Michael Carter is back, but Knight remains the one who leads the backfield in touches. The Jets' coaching staff prefers Knight's physical running between the tackles.
With 2nd-year QB Zach Wilson under center, expect the Jets' coaching staff to run the ball even more in this contest. Expect 20+ touches for Zonovan Knight.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $6.6K, FanDuel $7.8K)
Garrett Wilson has been sensational in the 2nd half of the season. The rookie receiver has dominated against man and zone defense alike. Some DFS players may be hesitant to play Garrett Wilson with Zach Wilson under center.
Consider this recommendation a confidence booster. The rookie receiver has still been good with Zach Wilson under center. Against a vulnerable Lions' secondary, fire away on Garrett Wilson.
Tournament: Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Detroit Lions (DraftKings $7.8K, FanDuel $8.4K)
How much Sauce Gardner will Amon-Ra St. Brown see on Sunday? Amon-Ra St. Brown is the top receiver for the Lions, and traditionally, opponents game plan to take Amon-Ra out.
The complexity here is that the Jets' top CB, rookie Sauce Gardner, traditionally lines up on the outside. The Lions utilize Amon-Ra best out of the slot. Will Gardner travel into the slot to take out the Lions' top pass-catcher? If not, Amon-Ra will receive relentless targets from Jared Goff.
