Eli Manning QB $6500

Manning has had a very inconsistent season in terms of fantasy. He has had a high of 29 fantasy points and a low of 9 fantasy points, so you really don't know what you are getting from him. But I really love him this week because he is playing against the Cleveland Browns. They have a terrible defense and the Giants are a one of the teams in the playoff hunt, so they need every win they can get. Manning will have a chance to put up some big numbers.

Jay Ajayi RB $7600

Ajayi has come back down to earth the last two weeks, only scoring 20 fantasy points combined the last 2 weeks. Before that he had a streak of at least 25 fantasy points in 3 straight weeks. This week he gets the 49ers and their terrible run defense. The 49ers have been gashed by Blount, David Johnson and the Saints the last 3 weeks. He is a must-start and maybe the best RB on the board this week.

Odell Beckham Jr WR $8800

You know I love Manning this week, so OBJ is a great pairing with Manning. He is going to tear up the Brown's defense this week and the best part is that many people may not play him because he has played poorly the last few weeks. Beckham is the highest salary WR this week and you will need to roster some value in other areas to play him. But it is worth it this week.

Amari Cooper WR $7700

Another elite receiver that has a very good match-up. The Raiders play against the Panthers and their poor secondary. Cooper at $7700 may get over looked but has a great match-up. The Raiders will be in a shootout with the Panthers and Cooper will have plenty of chances to score TDs and get at least 100 yards. Worth a start this week.
