The Raiders have struggled offensively and defensively. They’ve forced multiple turnovers in just one game, coming against the lowly Titans. This week, they get to face a familiar divisional opponent, though it’s one that’s committed multiple turnovers only twice this season. Denver will be heavy favorites at home, but with Maxx Crosby chasing after Bo Nix, chaos could ensue.
From Bijan Robinson, to Drake London and Kyle Pitts, the 2024 first-round pick has plenty of weapons at his disposal, but we’ve only seen Penix top 300 yards twice in his NFL career. In today’s high-volume passing era, Penix has yet to top 313 yards. But if the Falcons plan on keeping pace with the NFL’s highest-scoring offense, they’ll need their franchise QB to air it out, which could lead to a new career-high 350-yard day.
J.J. McCarthy returned to the Vikings’ lineup after a five-game absence, and he helped lead his team to 27 points for the second time in three starts. Baltimore’s defense has seen undergone changes, but they’re still very vulnerable. If Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Minnesota’s running game can catch fire, we could see Kevin O’Connell’s team score a lot of points on Sunday.
He doesn’t have his top two playmakers after Cam Skattebo and Malik Nabers suffered season-ending injuries, but Jaxson Dart has created a spark in New York. He’s recorded multiple touchdowns in all six of his starts thus far. He’ll get a good chance to build upon those numbers against a Bears defense that’s allowed 72 points in the past two weeks. We might even see Dart’s best game yet.
Now that he’s definitely staying with the Dolphins for the rest of the season, Jaylen Waddle can put all the trade rumors behind him and focus on finishing strong. He can remind everyone why the Dolphins didn’t want to part with their other speedster receiver by putting forth a huge 150-yard game while pushing Miami past Buffalo on Sunday.
The Jets traded away the best players on defense, but left their playmakers in place on offense. It’s now or never for Justin Fields to show that he’s worthy of receiving regular play time on Sundays. So far, the best way for him to do...
