Pittsburgh has also allowed 24.1 points and 302.9 yards per game, and they've been susceptible to the run in particular while yielding 141.1 rushing yards per contest. While those types of numbers are naturally going be hard to replicate, Cookus does have another favorable matchup versus a Maulers team whose motivation could be in question at this point with only two games remaining. The mobile signal-caller threw for 247 yards and four touchdowns while also ripping off a memorable 79-yard touchdown run on his way to 102 rushing yards. Tampa Bay ranks in the middle of the league with 188.6 passing yards per game allowed, and Sloter should be particularly locked in with a playoff spot on the line for New Orleans.Ĭase Cookus, PHI at PIT ($9,800): Cookus enjoyed a sensational Sunday afternoon in Week 8, extracting some serious damage on the Panthers through both the ground and air on his way to a whopping 47.1 DK points. The Bandits have only recorded three interceptions on the season, and Sloter also lit them up for 26.7 DK points in Week 2 on the strength of a 266-yard, two-touchdown effort. However, the final interception was somewhat of a desperation heave with time winding down, and he'll face a more palatable opponent overall this week.

TB ($11,000): Sloter has had trouble turning the ball over at times this season, never more drastically than in the Week 8 one-point heartbreaker of a loss to the tough Stallions defense when he was picked off three times. USFL DK contests will require players to roster one quarterback, one running back, two wide receivers or tight ends, two FLEX spots with either a running back, receiver or tight end and a team defense. The fact that the two teams vying for it, the Breakers and Bandits, are playing each other this week makes this late-season slate all the more intriguing. We're down to the penultimate week of the regular season, and fortunately, there's still one playoff spot up for grabs.
