Quarterback

Chalk:

Drew Brees, $8,500 vs Carolina Panthers - Drew Brees and Cam Newton figure to be the chalk in a head-to-head matchup with a 53-point over/under, which easily is the highest on the slate.

Pivots:

Russell Wilson, $8,400 vs Atlanta Falcons - Russell Wilson struggled early in the season due to ankle and knee injuries, but he looked much healthier his last time out, completing 23 of 32 passes for 309 yards and 3 touchdowns. His three main targets, Doug Baldwin, Jimmy Graham, and Tyler Lockett also are getting healthier by the week -- and just in time for this week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons have given up the second-most FanDuel points to opposing quarterbacks this season, as well as the most touchdown passes. Outside of last week's meeting with rookie Paxton Lynch, Atlanta had given up an average line of 323 yards and 3.3 touchdowns per game. Seattle has the sixth-highest implied team total (25.5) on the slate, and a healthier Wilson should be a big part of reaching that total.
