We are back for another year of the best slate of the season, and that is Thanksgiving,

0:04.6

the three-game slate with the food, the football, and the family.

0:07.1

And you know it's a big slate when there's a million dollars to first place on Draft King,

0:10.7

so let's get into everything you need to know, the best plays for this slate.

0:14.1

And we'll begin at the quarterback position where it's a nice price range here.

0:17.7

There's nobody standing out too much as really expensive or super cheap. Like

0:20.9

Dak comes in as the highest price guy at 6,800. Makes sense when you have a great team total 29

0:25.4

and a half points and the way Dak has been playing. Over the last month to six weeks, he's starting

0:29.2

to work his way into the MVP race. And look, you might be saying he's 11 point favorite. They're not

0:33.5

going to throw a lot. Well, you could have said the same thing two weeks ago when they were 10 point favorites against the Giants and Dak went for over 400 yards and five total touchdowns.

0:40.3

And now they face a commander's team where if you start to look at the pass attempts, 44, 35, this

0:44.2

past week he threw 38 times. So he's throwing 35 plus times a week, no matter how much of a favorite

0:48.6

they are or are not, and they're facing the commanders. Which is advantageous because Washington this season allows the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

0:55.5

They're allowing their nearly 3,000 yards is the second most this season,

0:58.7

and their 24 touchdown passes is the most.

1:01.1

So this is a really beneficial spot at home on Thanksgiving for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.

1:04.8

So I'm a fan of Dak Prescott in this matchup, but I also like the guy on the other side of this one. And that would be Sam Howell because look, he's 6,200 a little cheaper and he's on the other side, so he's an 11 point underdog. And this guy

1:14.3

is already setting the record for most pass attempts in a season. Right now he's averaging over 40

1:18.7

attempts per game and you could expect as an 11 point underdog, that should continue. And that trend of

1:23.0

a lot of passes continued this past game where he had 45 attempts. They were supposed to be 10 point favorites and blow them out and not throw a lot. Well, they got down and they still threw the ball. And now

1:30.5

if you date this back to week four when he throws 41 times against the Eagles, look at his attempts,

1:34.3

51, then there's 23. That's the outlier because 42, 52, 45, 44 in this past week 45. This guy is
