-
Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs (vs. Raiders)- 24 Points
280 Passing Yards, 3 Pass TDs, 10 Rushing Yards.
The Raiders have a pathetic defense, though I don’t expect Patrick Mahomes to run a lot.
-
Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys (vs. Redskins)- 23 Points
240 Passing Yards, 3 Pass TDs, 20 Rushing Yards.
Dak Prescott could continue to stay hot against the Redskins pass-funnel defense.

Drake Maye will continue to thrive, and this is an outstanding matchup.

Daniel Jones has a tougher matchup this week, though the Chargers looked gassed in the fourth quarter versus Miami.

-
Bo Nix, QB, Broncos (vs. Giants)- 20 Points
230 Passing Yards, 2 Pass TDs, 30 Rushing Yards.

340 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 10 Rushing Yards.
Brock Purdy could be back against a pass-funnel defense.

San Francisco’s defense is in shambles.

240 Passing Yards, 1 Pass TD, 1 INT, 20 Rushing Yards.
