Best bet: Cook anytime TD (-138)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Bills’ running back has picked up any slack left behind by Stefon Diggs by tallying 16 touchdowns in 14 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past 10 weeks, Cook has 11 scores, including back-to-back 100-yard performances against the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots in Weeks 15 and 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook is averaging an impressive 5.1 yards per carry and he’s only scored eight touchdowns from inside the red zone, per Fantasy Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means the tailback has scored half his touchdowns from outside the red zone which highlights his big play ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New York Jets provide a fairly tough matchup but it’s clear to me at this point that Cook is matchup-proof \u2014 I want in on these odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Key stat<\/strong>: Cook has scored a TD in eight of his past 10 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQuick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Jefferson anytime TD (-120):<\/strong> From Weeks 12-16, Jefferson has been a beast near the end zone catching all seven of his red zone targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\nJordan Addison has turned into a top WR2 for the Minnesota Vikings but this is still Jefferson’s offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past three weeks, Jefferson has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- 24 catches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 349 yards<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Five touchdowns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It appears JJettas is at 100% health again and he looks like the best receiver in the league going into the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Green Bay Packers provide a tough matchup but that’s the reason for the modest odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the Vikings want to win this weekend, Jefferson will need to make his mark and I believe he’ll do so with another score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bigsby anytime TD (+137):<\/strong> The Jacksonville Jaguars’ leading rusher is seeing another uptick in volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBigsby ran the ball 10-plus times in three straight weeks. He scored in two of those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He rushed seven times in the red zone since Week 13 and now gets a matchup where the Jaguars can potentially do damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tennessee Titans allow the 10th most rushing yards (129.9) per game and the second-most points (27.8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Travis Etienne has yet to score a rushing touchdown this season and I suspect the Jaguars keep going to Bigsby who’s more of a between-the-tackles runner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
