Sunday's lineup isn't going to set itself. Here's the call on every ranked running back and receiver in five of the games that swing the most, plus what Vegas thinks of each side.
All of it comes from our START or SIT For Every RB & WR video.

|
Bengals +3
21.25 implied · 42% to win
Chase and Higgins run into the second-stingiest receiver defense on the board. Start them anyway — you didn't draft them to bench them.
|
Texans -3
24.25 implied · 59% to win
Cincinnati gives up more fantasy points to running backs than any defense in football. With Collins banged up, Montgomery is the whole offense.

Commanders +4
23.25 implied · 35% to win
Dallas has been the single most generous defense in the league against receivers. McLaurin and Diggs are the easy calls here.
|
Cowboys -4
27.25 implied · 66% to win
Highest total on the board at 50.5 and the top implied number of the slate. Washington is soft against the run too.

Jaguars +3
21 implied · 42% to win
Denver is the single worst running back matchup in football. Tuten still starts, because you don't have anything better.
|
Broncos -3
24 implied · 59% to win
Jacksonville allows the second-fewest points to backs, which makes this split backfield unplayable. Waddle is the bounce-back call.

Vikings +4
22 implied · 35% to win
Chicago has surrendered top-three receiver production, which is all Jefferson needs. The backfield is still anybody's guess.
|
Bears -4
26 implied · 66% to win
Highest implied total of these five, into the defense that has allowed the fewest points to receivers. We're starting Burden and Odunze anyway.

Seahawks -4
22.75 implied · 66% to win
Arizona has been the second-softest run defense in the league, and with Drew Lock starting they want to run it. Price is the play.
|
Cardinals +4
18.75 implied · 35% to win
Lowest implied total of the five and a red light in every column. Love is the only Cardinal we'd start with any confidence.
