Miami Dolphins head to LaLatown to face Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams have playoff aspirations and can pile on the points. Fire up the popcorn!
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings $, FanDuel $K)
Tua Tagovailoa is as safe as it can be for DFS purposes. The Dolphins know what they have in the combination of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The Dolphins' dynamic duo strikes fear in the heart of any opposition.
Tournaments: Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers (Draftkings $, FanDuel $K)
The Chargers are one of the most aggressive teams in the NFL, and that plays right into the hands of the downfield throwing capabilities of Justin Herbert.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: Austin Eckler, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $, FanDuel $K)
Austin Eckler does it all for the Los Angeles Chargers. Eckler should find room to run on the defensive front seven of the Dolphins. Eckler is a complete mismatch for Dolphins defenders as a receiver out of the backfield. He is simply perfect for Cash games.
Tournament: Jeff Wilson Jr., RB, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $K)
The Chargers are one of the worst teams in the league to choose a fantasy RB as they leak on the interior of their defensive line. Jeff Wilson Jr. could have a ceiling performance in this one if the game script allows it.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Tyreek Hill, WR, Miami Dolphins (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $K)
How do you ignore Tyreek Hill in Cash games? Hill has separated himself from other receivers this season. The Cheetah has been spectacular and vital for Tua Tagovailoa to find success. The way to beat the Chargers' defense is on the ground, but that's not usually how Miami operate. Expect Tyreek Hill to be sensational again in this one.
Tournament: Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (DraftKings $K, FanDuel $K)
Keenan Allen has suddenly become the most reliable pass-catching option for Los Angeles Chargers. Mike Williams is due to be back for Sunday Night's action, but Williams has a lengthy history of injuries, and we wouldn't expect the moon in his first game back from his most recent setback. Miami Dolphins' defense has been vulnerable against the pass all season long, and we know how aggressive the Chargers' offense has been. The Chargers/Dolphins game has all the makings for a Sunday Night Shootout! Keenan Allen is a terrific play, especially in those formats that reward points for receptions.
