AFC EAST

SIT: Quarterback, Josh McCown – New York Jets

The Jets have been surprisingly good this season. The Bills have been better. Especially on defense.

START: Running Back, LeSean McCoy – Buffalo Bills

Is Shady loves one thing, it’s attention. Well, attention and winning. Right now, he’s doing enough of the second, and on Thursday night he’ll be looking for more of the first. Kelvin Benjamin’s addition to the offense will draw defenders out of the areas Shady likes to operate.

SLEEPER: Quarterback, Tyrod Taylor – Buffalo Bills

If he’s available in your league, go get him. He’s got a soft playoff schedule, and with his running game going, he’s going to put up some solid points moving forward.

NFC EAST

SIT: Dallas Cowboys Running Backs

Who will be the starter? Who knows? Unless there’s another Cowboys fan wearing robes available, don’t go with any Dallas running back until you see what the Cowboys are actually going to do with them.

START: Tight End, Zach Ertz – Philadelphia Eagles

If Jay Ajayi can actually do something for the Eagles, then Ertz is going to have more room to operate against defenses biting on play-action. Starting now.

SLEEPER: Wide Receiver, Cole Beasley – Dallas Cowboys

This is all dependent on his coming out of the NFL’s concussion protocol, so keep an eye out for that. But, if he does, a short passing game is the friend of any quarterback without a running game.
