Week 17 GPP Picks on FanDuel

Quarterbacks

Cam Newton @ ATL $8,400 & Matt Ryan vs CAR $7,400
There is a lot to play for in this game, and the 45.5 point total is the second highest on the board. Cam has the higher ceiling, and is averaging the second most FanDuel points per game. 20 per game compared to only 14.8 for Ryan. Cam has hit the 15 point mark in seven straight games, and has had two showings with at least 30 points over that span. He has at least 51 rushing yards in four straight and at least 44 in nine of his last 10 games. It’s a solid floor. Atlanta has allowed the ninth most passing yards over the last four weeks, and the fourth most passing touchdowns (eight) over that span. As for Ryan, well he only has three 300 yard passing games on the season, and one came against Carolina. The Panthers are allowing the second most passing yards over the last four weeks, and the most receiving yards to wideouts. They have allowed seven passing touchdowns over that span which is the fifth most. Ryan is cheaper and considered a contrarian option.
