Quarterbacks

Kelly Bryant (Missouri): $7,700 DraftKings, $9,900 FanDuel

Dropped back to pass 53 times in week 1 and 468 times in 2017 (25th overall), his only full season.

Ranked third with 156 quarterback runs (not accounting for kneel-downs) in 2017, and broke 56 tackles on those attempts with a 36% broken tackle rate — comparable to Lamar Jackson (38%). Led FBS with 24 QB runs inside the opponent’s 10-yard line.

Also ranked 14th with a 78.4% on-target throw rate (min. 100 attempts), but 96th amongst 166 quarterbacks in yards per pass attempt (7.0). Bryant’s usage rate suggests a high floor in a game with a high total, and I like him in cash games as a result, and especially with an implied team total that’s within a field goal of the three teams above him on DraftKings.
