The SuperFlex format on OwnersBox NFL DFS makes it extremely important to get quarterbacks and their stacking partners correct since you’re likely to be rostering two players from the position. SuperFlex DFS also causes the best DFS plays at quarterback to be higher owned, but when the value is there it can be hard to fade.
OwnersBox NFL DFS Strategy: Top Quarterbacks
Given the importance of finding standout QBs, let’s take a look at the best quarterbacks for NFL Week 17 using Stokastic’s custom OwnersBox NFL DFS projections.
OwnersBox DFS Quarterback Plays
Jalen Hurts, $7,600
Hurts has the highest projection (26.32 fantasy points) of any quarterback on the slate. He has an incredible matchup this week with a Cardinals defense that has given up the fourth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past 5 weeks. And the stacking options are straightforward, with A.J. Brown ($7,400), DeVonta Smith ($6,300) and Dallas Goedert ($4,600) providing partners in every price range.
Lamar Jackson, $7,300
Jackson has a tough matchup with a Dolphins defense that has given up the ninth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past 5 weeks. Still, Jackson’s projection of 22.46 fantasy points is the second-best of any quarterback on the slate. Jackson racks up fantasy points both through the air and on the ground, and this game should be close throughout. Jackson also has cheaper stacking partners than most elite quarterbacks, with Zay Flowers ($5,600), Isaiah Likely ($4,200), and Odell Beckham Jr. ($4,600) all being strong value options.
Brock Purdy, $6,600
Purdy has an elite matchup with a Commanders defense that has given up the 7th-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past 5 weeks. He is also fantastic leverage on Christian McCaffrey ($7,900), who is projected for 43.6% ownership. Purdy can be paired with McCaffrey, but works better as a leverage play with Deebo Samuel ($7,600), Brandon Aiyuk ($6,200), or George Kittle ($5,200). With a projection of 20.33 fantasy points, Purdy is the fifth best point-per-dollar value on the entire slate.
