Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots

DraftKings Price: $6,800

Projected Points: 25.69

It's difficult to find any concerns regarding Tom Brady's matchup against the New York Jets this Sunday. He admittedly hasn't played well of late, having not finished as a top-10 weekly quarterback in any single game over the last month, but everything points to a rebound for the perennial all-world star.

First and foremost, the New England Patriots have a juicy 29.75-point implied total, tops for Week 17. Combine that with the fact New York has allowed the second-highest percentage of fantasy points (via Josh Hermsmeyer's airyards.com) to quarterbacks, and suddenly it's easy to see why our models project Brady as this week's top passer.

If looking for stacking counterparts, note that the Jets have allowed the ninth-most raw DraftKings points (12.8) to opposing tight ends. With playoff implications still to be determined, Rob Gronkowski and the Patriots' skill players should see their usual workload.
