Last week I hit 12 of 13 picks on my 4-minute, 44-second podcast. This week I offer more of the same, though not sure I can hit more than 90% again:

Some highlights: Since the start of the 2014 season, Ryan Fitzpatrick has thrown for a TD on 5.8% of his pass attempts, which is better than Tom Brady during that same span. Pretty remarkable. Also, outside of big performance against an injury-depleted Ravens D, Latavius Murray's averaging less than 2.7 yards per carry.
And Aaron Jones will be lucky to earn RB2+ production in any remaining game, while his fantasy playoff schedule consists of three of the four toughest run D's. If he's on your team, why is he still on your team?
Finally, here's my DFS 50/50 Lineup of the Week, which has hit big most of the season, so hopefully I can keep this going:
QB Ryan Fitzpatrick ($6,100) -- He doesn't have Mike Evans, but he still has several competent pass-catchers and is facing a beatable Jets pass D. At that price, I'm happy with top 10-14 production.
RB Le'Veon Bell ($9,400) -- Terrific matchup, plain and simple.
RB Jordan Howard ($7,200) -- The offense runs through him, and thanks to Green Bay's QB-challenged offense, Chicago has a great shot at winning this one. That means plenty of run for Howard and at least one score.
WR Antonio Brown ($9,300) -- I hate spending that much on two players, but Brown's upside in this one is tremendous, and his floor is more other wideouts' ceiling.
WR Julio Jones ($8,000) -- He'll get receptions and yards. The only variable is touchdowns, and you can't keep him out of the end zone every week.
WR Sterling Shepard ($5,700) -- Going with the Giants' #1 WR for the second straight week. He has terrific TD potential and should once again hover around 10 targets.
TE Austin Hooper ($4,900) -- A terrific bargain given he's third on the team in targets, second in receiving yards, and tied for second in receiving touchdowns.
K Matt Prater ($5,100) -- I swapped out Charles Clay for Hooper for two reasons: (1) Clay is a greater injury risk, and (2) I want Prater. Detroit could post 30+ on Cleveland, making Prater a near lock for top 10 production and a decent bet for top 5.
DST Bears ($4,300) -- Chicago has won two of its last 13 contests against Green Bay. It's been since 2010 since they've won at home. Every team wants to win every game. But man, the Bears D will come to play today.
