The Thursday Night Football NFL DFS slate for Week 9 features the New York Jets against the Indianapolis Colts, and we’re here to look at the slate on SuperDraft. The Jets will look to put back-to-back wins together led by rookie quarterback Mike White.
Let’s dive in with three of my top plays.
Top Plays
Mike White, New York Jets (Champion: 2.05x | Superflex: 1.35x Multiplier)
The first-time starting quarterback got the call to start against the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday and put up a huge game that not many expected. He completed 37 of his 45 passes with 405 passing yards and three touchdowns. While he was able to put up 28.1 fantasy points, he did throw two interceptions. There is a strong possibility he could have a similar day, as he gets to face an Indianapolis Colts defense that allows 22.6 fantasy points to the position. The Colts defense is also ranked 24th in quarterback hits and 26th in passing defense, which only boosts White’s upside for this showdown slate.
Michael Pittman, Indianapolis Colts (Champion: 2.1x | Superflex: 1.4x)
The play of Michael Pittman only continues to get better, and while this may be a game for the Colts running back committee, I want action on Pittman. He now has back-to-back games of 20-plus fantasy points, with 20.5 against the 49ers and 25.6 against the Titans. Pittman currently leads the Colts receivers in targets, receptions and red-zone targets. Overall, in any situation Pittman will be getting the opportunities to continue his success. Where he plays though in this offense, may cause for a slight dip in production. However, even then, all signs point toward another solid performance.
Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (Champion: 1.6x | Superflex: 1.05x)
Jonathan Taylor will likely be the highest owned play, but he is in line for a huge game. The New York Jets allow the most points to opposing running backs on SuperDraft with 34 fantasy points per game. The running back committee of the New England Patriots put up four rushing touchdowns against them while Joe Mixon put up one each on the ground and through the air. Now some may try to outsmart the field by going Nyheim Hines, but the numbers to back him as the play is not good. Taylor holds 57% of the market share in this backfield and a total of 83% of shares inside the 5. If going any Indianapolis running back, stick with Taylor.
