The Los Angeles Chargers travel to the desert to take on the reeling Arizona Cardinals. The Chargers attempt to find their footing and make a last-ditch effort to win the AFC West. The Cardinals need a healthy Kyler Murray to have a shot at this one.
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $7K, FanDuel $7.9K)
Justin Herbert is a rock-solid DFS play this week. We know the Chargers' offense goes through Justin Herbert. The Chargers/Cardinals game has shoot-out written all over it.
Tournaments: Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals (Draftkings $6.8K, FanDuel $7.8K)
You must pay attention to the injury report leading up to this one. Kyler Murray has been questionable the last few weeks but was unable to play through the injury. If Murray plays, he unlocks the Cardinals' offense. If Kyler cannot go, downgrade all the Cardinals' skill position players.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $8.5K, FanDuel $8.8K)
Last week, Austin Ekeler was not used as much as a receiver out of the backfield as we have become accustomed to. Ekeler is used best as a receiver out of the backfield, so I would be shocked if the Chargers don't return to their roots and get Austin Ekeler involved in space early and often in this one.
Tournament: James Conner, RB, Arizona Cardinals (DraftKings $6.6K, FanDuel $7K)
The way to beat the Los Angeles Chargers' defense is on the ground. The Chargers' defense is one of the worst in the league against the RB position. James Conner isn't a spectacular athlete at this point in his career, but he is receiving all the touches he can handle.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Arizona Cardinals (DraftKings $7.7K, FanDuel $8.4K)
DeAndre Hopkins has made all the difference for the Arizona Cardinals' offense since he returned from his six-game suspension. Keep an eye on the injury report leading up to this game. Marquise Brown should be active for this one, and we have not seen Marquise Brown and DeAndre Hopkins on the field together yet this season. Their relationship on the field should be an ideal fit but may take some time to get used to.
Tournament: Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $6.1K, FanDuel $7.3K)
Keenan Allen appears to be as healthy as he has been all season long. With his counterpart Mike Williams out for this one, Keenan Allen should be pelted with targets in a match-up that should be a high-scoring affair.
