Quarterback
breed
Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, $ 7,400 – Trubisky has three touchdown passes in each of his first three Sims this Madden season and scores over 25 DKFP in each contest. In his two previous matchups against the Lions, Trubisky had 18.72 and 22.98 DKFP, and he has averaged over 20 DKFP on his 82 Sims in Madden 21. Trubisky has a very high cap due to his rushing potential and cheap matchup against Detroit.
Other option – Joe Burrow ($ 6,500)
value
Gardner Minshew II, Jacksonville Jaguars at Cincinnati Bengals, $ 6,100 – Minshew has an inexpensive matchup against the Bengals and helped the Jags win two games in a row to jump to the top of the AFC South. Minshew has scored multiple touchdowns and over 16 DKFP in five of the last six competitions, including a game against the same Bengals where he scored 16.36 DKFP. He’s got a total of 127 touchdowns across his 82 Sims and is the best affordable QB on this list.
Other option – Sam Darnold ($ 5,500)

Back race
breed
Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans at New York Jets, $ 7,500 – Henry had two touchdowns against the Colts in his last simulation and has now scored six points in his three games this season, adding up to 16.4, 41.5 and 26.4 DKFP. He has scored a total of 86 touchdowns in his 85 Sims in Madden 21 and averages 21.0 DKFP per contest. Henry is an expensive game, but he’s a strong centerpiece to consider in this matchup against the Jets.
Other options – Le’Veon Bell ($ 7,100), Chris Thompson ($ 6,800)
value
D’Andre Swift, Detroit Lions at the Chicago Bears, $ 4,700 – Swift has made multiple catches in 25 of his last 26 Sims and is one of the few reliable fantasy games in the Lions offense. He had 10 catches and 17.1 DKFP in one of those games and has over 7.0 DKFP in five of his last six contests with two touchdowns in that period, making him a solid game with a nice cap for under $ 5,000.
Other option – Tarik Cohen ($ 4,600)
Broad receiver
breed
DJ Chark Jr., Jacksonville Jaguars in Cincinnati Bengals, $ 6,500 – Chark has been very busy as WR1 of the Jags averaging 3.6 catches for 59.7 yards per sim. He recently had five catches, 58 yards and 10.8 DKFP against the Bengals in a pre-season meeting, scoring 25.8, 17.0 and 27.1 DKFP in its three Sims in the season. Chark has had double-digit DKFPs in nine of his last 13 Sims and continues to be a consistently strong game alongside Minshew when the Jags are rolling.
Other option – Allen Robinson II ($ 5,500), Marvin Jones Jr. ($ 5,300)
value
Anthony Miller, Chicago Bears vs. Detroit Lions, $ 4,900 – Miller was a hit-or-miss as the Bear’s WR2, but he’s been improving lately with three touchdowns in his last five games and over 14 DKFP in four of those five competitions. He had two touchdowns and 19.8 DKFP against the Lions in one of their previous meetings at Madden 21, and he’s scored a total of 20 points on 81 Sims.
Breshad Perriman, New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans, $ 4,200 – Another WR that has been inconsistent but has a very high cap is Perriman, which is the WR2 for the Jets. Perriman has shot over 100 yards in two of his three games this season, finishing with 21.4, 8.2 and 24.3 DKFP. It can definitely be boom or bust, but it has too many perks to be overlooked at this ultra-cheap salary.
Other options – Tyler Boyd ($ 4,700), Dede Westbrook ($ 4,400), Danny Amendola ($ 4,100), Adam Humphries ($ 4,000)

Close end
breed
Jonnu Smith, Tennessee Titans at New York Jets, $ 4,900 – Smith had four catches on each of his last two Sims, scoring 9.5 and 7.4 DKFP. He has over 7.0 DKFP in 14 of his last 16 Sims total and is a regular part of the Titans Offense, averaging 4.6 catches for 49.0 yards per game over his 85 Sims.
Other option – TJ Hockenson ($ 5,100)
value
CJ Uzomah, Cincinnati Bengals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, $ 4,400 – Uzomah has an average of 4.1 catches per Sim and has at least four catches in six straight contests in this matchup with the Jaguars. He had five catches and 18.5 DKFP in his most recent match with Jacksonville’s Defense, who struggled to defend opposing TEs in those Madden 21 Sims.
Other option – Tyler Eifert ($ 4,700)
Summertime
breed
Titans DST at New York Jets, $ 3,100 – The Titans have nine sacks and 4.3 DKFP per game in their three games this season, but they were slightly better than average overall in their 85 Madden 21 Sims, producing 5.1 DKFP at 182 sacks, 62 takeaways and nine defensive touchdowns. You have a good matchup in a run-focused, low-score simulation against the Jets.
value
Jaguars DST in Cincinnati Bengals, $ 3,000 – The Jags had two sacks and only 1.0 DKFP in their last match with the Bengals, but in their previous Madden 21 meeting they scored a much better 7.0 DKFP. Beginner QB Joe Burrow ($ 6,500) Was temporarily revenue sensitive so it’s a solid matchup for the Jaguars who have multiple sacks in four Sims in a row and at least 6.0 DKFP in three of their last five competitions.
