Wide Receiver

Chalk

Finding the wide receiver chalk typically isn't the most difficult exercise -- find the highly-anticipated point total passing games, and linked quarterbacks, and the wide receivers should follow.

Four teams sport totals of 28-plus points in the Colts, Patriots, Chargers, and Buccaneers, and all are likely to see heavy ownership rates. Players like T.Y. Hilton, Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen, and Mike Evans are all likely to be popular plays, and those five pass-catchers project in the top eight of Sunday's main slate.

Outside of that core grouping, Odell Beckham's high floor makes him an obvious choice, too; he's scored 16.5-plus FanDuel points in each of his last four games, just above his season-long average of 16.4 FanDuel points.He faces an Eagles defense that's allowed the second-most FanDuel points to opposing wide receivers (36.1 FD points-per-game).

Pivot

Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns: $6,100 (at Cincinnati Bengals)

Prior to their bye last week, and an ugly Week 10 performance that saw Jarvis Landry catch only 2 passes for 22 receiving yards, the Cleveland Browns' offense was trending upward, and they will look to get back on track against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati ranks 14th against the pass, per our metrics, but they've been getting bombed through the air recently. Dating back to Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons, they've allowed four 350-yard plus passing games, allowing an average of 33.6 points-per-game in the process.

We've got Landry pegged for 11.4 FanDuel points, but the upside is very real -- to the tune of 21.89 FanDuel points, or 3.89X his value (per $1,000). Cincinnati's allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing wideouts (33.6 FanDuel points-per-game), so check out Landry.
