Turkey Leg 1 - Jahmyr Gibbs 70+ rush/rec yards - Sorry Jonathan Taylor. Your weeks on the best fantasy game throne are over. Bow down and kiss the ring of the new king -- Gibbs. Donning a crown after posting a godlike 268 total yards, 11 catches and three touchdowns in a sweaty 34-27 win over the Giants, Detroit's top cat preyed on the opposition. He's still entrenched in a 60-40 split with David Montgomery, but the coveted fantasy selection has further separated from Detroit's RB2. Including his volcanic eruption in Week 12, he's recorded 75+ rush/receiving yards in eight of 11 contests. His YAC per attempt numbers won't blow anyone away, but top-five in missed tackles forced and yards created per touch, he's as slippery as a well-buttered turkey. Against a Packers defense a mediocre No. 14 in rush EPA D since Week 8, giving up 3.62 yards per carry, 124.2 total yards per game and four touchdowns to RBs. Detroit's offensive motor should again rev the engine across the board. This season, five rushers have accumulated 70+ total yards versus the Pack. Whether via ground or air, gobble up the yards, Gibbs.
Turkey Leg 2 - CeeDee Lamb 60+ receiving yards - Hot take artists on various media platforms truly believe George Pickens is the real WR1 in Dallas. Put down the vino, wake up from the tryptophan-induced nap and get with the program. The WR2 may be playing at an elite level, but Lamb is the unrivaled WR1 in Little D. Yes, the recency bias servings are quite tasty, but Dak Prescott's consistent top weapon should feast on Thursday. Frankly, for the Cowboys to continue the KC crash, steady vertical bombardments are necessary. The Chiefs are beatable in coverage. Since Week 8, they're a mere No. 21 in dropback EPA defense. Only five WRs have surpassed the 75-yard mark against them and Lamb's primary dance partner CB Jaylen Watson ranks outside the top 50 in yards allowed, but the CeeDee doesn't scratch under the spotlight. This season, he's reached 75 yards in all eight games. Enticing 9.0 targets per game, he's top 15 in yards per route run, deep-ball target share and missed tackles forced. Lamb shakes his tail.
Turkey Leg 3 - Ja'Marr Chase 60+ receiving yards - Spittoons may be required on the Bengals sidelines in Baltimore, but back from his one-game suspension, bank on Chase not to hawk tua on the number needed. An on-field reunion with Joe Burrow is fully anticipated. The prized passer -- returning from a painful turf toe setback that required corrective surgery -- may be somewhat rusty, but the plus matchup could have him grooving passes to No. 1 quickly. Tee Higgins' absence (concussion) also ensures a proper peppering. Prior to the one-week siesta, Chase averaged a ridiculous 11.7 targets per game. Whether on quick slants or contested downfield throws, he's dominated at times. Expect the DB ownership to continue. His projected primary assignment, CB Marlon Humphrey, has surrendered a 70.8 catch% and 107.8 passer rating to his assignments. Equally attractive, the Ravens rank No. 7 in most receptions (142) and No. 11 in most yards allowed to WRs. Presumably on another 10+ targets, Chase pulls in at least 60 yards for sixth time in his last seven games.
