Kirk Cousins QB $5900
QB for the Thursday slate is very interesting. You can play any of the four in the later games but Cousins may have the highest ceiling because the Colts-Steelers game could become one-sided as Luck may miss the game. I also think the Cowboys will run the ball a lot and that will force the Redskins to throw the ball more as they will need to play catch-up. At his price, Cousins is a great play and is coming off of his best game of the season.

Ezekiel Elliott RB $8500
Elliott is a lock for the Thursday slate because of the match-up. Between him and Bell, Elliott is $500 cheaper, so he is the better play and plus the Redskins are very poor against the run. The Cowboys will look to control the game on the ground and keep the Redskins offense off the field. Elliott should have a big game and he loves the primetime match-ups.

T.Y. Hilton WR $7900
This pick all hinges on Luck playing this Thursday because if it is the back-up, I am not sure I can trust Tolzien to get the ball to Hilton. But at his price he is nice counter to people paying up for Antonio Brown. Hilton has had an excellent season and the Steelers secondary is very poor. This could be a very high scoring game but it hinges on Luck playing, so keep an eye on that.

DeSean Jackson WR $4800
Jackson has always played well against the rest of the division. This week against the Cowboys, a division opponent and a game on primetime, makes me believe that Jackson will pumped to play in this one. The Cowboys secondary is only average and will struggle to stay with Jackson as he looks to take the top off of the defense. The Redskins should be trailing in this one and Jackson at his cheap price, is a great play, all you need is one long TD for this play to work.
