The New England Patriots will travel to East Rutherford, NJ, to rekindle their NFL AFC East rivalry with the New York Jets on Sunday (October 30).
Shockingly, the Patriots are coming off an upset home loss to the woeful Chicago Bears. The Jets, meanwhile, feel like a different team, as they're on a four-game winning streak. The Jets are running the ball and playing good defense. Can they continue their hot streak?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up:
NFL: Best quarterback picks
Cash Games and Tournament: Mac Jones QB, New England Patriots (DraftKings $5.3K, FanDuel $6.6K)
The New York Jets run the ball as much as any team in the NFL. With the lack of passing volume, Zach Wilson is not an option in either Tournaments or Cash Games.
Mac Jones is back under center for the New England Patriots. Neither QB in this one is an appealing option, but Mac Jones has slightly more exciting prospects.
NFL: Best running back picks
Cash Games: Rhamondre Stevenson, RB, New England Patriots (DraftKings $6.4K, FanDuel $8K)
Rhamondre Stevenson has been on a roll lately. Damien Harris is healthy again and will be in the mix, but it would be surprising to see Stevenson lose the lion's share of the backfield work. Stevenson has an appealing combination of red zone work and pass-catching ability.
Tournament: Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.9K, FanDuel $6.6K)
Breece Hall's rookie season ended suddenly with a torn ACL. The rookie leaves big shoes to fill. Michael Carter was already sharing the backfield with Hall. Now Carter bumps up to 1A and will receive the more critical touches.

NFL: Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $4.2K, FanDuel $5.4K)
Corey Davis is injured heading into this one. The Jets coaching staff have talked up rookie receiver Garrett Wilson and how they want to get the ball in his hands more often. The Jets coaching staff will move Wilson all around the formation, inside and out, to exploit match-ups against the Patriots' secondary.
Tournament: Elijah Moore, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $4.7K, FanDuel $5K)
Elijah Moore asked the New York Jets for a trade and didn't practice all last week. The Jets notified him that they would not trade him. Moore has returned to the team, and with Corey Davis likely out, the Jets will need the dynamic playmaker. Perhaps a squeaky wheel game for Elijah Moore in this one.
