Happy Turkey Football Day for this Friday folks! Being Thanksgiving in the States has blessed us with three games this Friday, and the lads at Moneyball have set up a Friday Smash Special for us. Pick your team from Detroit v Philadelphia, Dallas v Carolina and Green Bay v Chicago for a chance to win a piece of the $500 prize pool. Don’t forget Hail Mary comps lock out at 4:20am Friday!
The brutal year of injuries continued last week with Justin Forsett breaking his arm, his QB Joe Flacco tearing his ACL, and break-out RB Devonta Freeman being diagnosed with a concussion. Marshawn Lynch and Peyton Manning need a few more weeks to heal up, which gives us a couple more new faces to stick in our line ups. NFL fantasy football.
The byes are done for the year which gives us a full complement of players to chose from.

Players I like this week.
Quarterback
Brock Osweiler (Denver, $5800)
With Manning still out, Osweiler gets another start. Faces a tough matchup this week against New England, but looks like a better fit for the Kubiak offence.
Matt Hasselbeck (Indianapolis, $5500)
With Luck still out nursing an injured kidney, Hasselbeck comes up against Tampa’s middle-of-the-pack pass defence.
T.J Yates (Houston, $5300)
Had a fair game last week fantasy-wise, and is chance to improve on those number this week against a bad Saints defence. If Hoyer returns from his concussion and starts instead, he is also a value play.
Brock Osweiler
Running back
Thomas Rawls (Seattle, $5100)
With Lynch out last week, Rawls exploded with over 250 scrimmage yards and a couple of TDs. Faces Pittsburgh but too cheap to ignore.
Spencer Ware (Kansas City, $4700)
After coming on for an injured Charcandrick West last week, Ware was able to run for 96 yards and score 2 TDs. Watch the injury reports this week for West updates.
Javorius (Buck) Allen (Baltimore, $4500)
Justin Forsett broke his arm and is done for the season. Enter Buck Allen who has a great match up against the Browns.
Thomas Rawls
Wide receiver
Nate Washington (Houston, $5500)
Hasn’t done a lot in the past fortnight after a couple of tough opponents, but faces New Orleans this week and is an end zone threat.
Stevie Johnson (San Diego, $4900)
Plays Jacksonville, who have given up the 17th-most fantasy points to wide receivers.
Keshawn Martin (New England, $4500)
The Patriots have been struck down with a few injuries this season, with Danny Amendola the latest casualty. Martin didn’t play last week, but is a chance this week.
Stevie Johnson
Tight end
Gary Barnidge (Cleveland, $6900)
Gets his favourite QB in Josh McCown back this week. Faces Baltimore who have a pass defence ranked 24th.
Delanie Walker (Tennessee, $6400)
Oakland haven’t been as bad against TE recently, but Mariota loves throwing to Walker.
Antonio Gates (San Diego, $5300)
Has a decent match up, but his only concern is whether he is healthy enough to perform.
Delanie Walker
Defence
Arizona ($4900)
Patrick Peterson sat out part of the game with an injury, but even if he’s not 100% they should still put up decent numbers fantasy-wise.
Kansas City ($4900)
Averaging 17.5 fantasy points in their last three games.
New York Jets ($4500)
Buffalo QB, Tyrod Taylor is banged up and could be prone to interceptions.
Arizona Cardinals
Kicker
Chandler Catanzaro (Arizon, $5100)
Plenty of scoring opportunities await against the 49ers.
Brandon McManus (Denver, $5000)
Denver might have a tough time against New England so they’ll rely on McManus.
Josh Brown (NY Giants, $5000)
23-of-23 in field goal attempts this season.
Chandler Catanzaro
