QB: Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
Opponent: at Seattle Seahawks
Price: $5,700
I'll preface this by saying I won't likely have Stafford in a lot of lineups, but he's compelling if you're looking for a contrarian option in tournament formats. Most people will likely avoid the Seahawks stout defense, especially with the game being at CenturyLink, but this defense hasn't been the same since losing All-World safety Earl Thomas a month ago. In the four games since, Seattle has allowed 24.5 points per game and given up a 5:0 TD:INT ratio to Aaron Rodgers, Jared Goff, Carson Palmer and Colin Kaepernick. Throw in Seattle's stout run defense and the fact the Lions are 8-point underdogs, and the script actually sets up well for a heavy Detroit pass attack. (Getty)
