Two of these games have backup quarterbacks slated to start, which hurts some wide receivers’ chances of being a factor.

For the most part, these games don’t look awful on paper, but the backup quarterbacks taking snap could turn what could have been competitive games into meh games. The Saints vs Falcons one should be a good match-up and has tons of fantasy football players.

The Bears are atop the NFC North and on a short week, it makes sense to leave Trubisky on the bench. They still have the Vikings and Packers on their tails though, so this is still a very important game for the Bears.

While Washington currently sits atop the NFC East, the Cowboys can surpass them for that spot if they win this game. The Redskins have a backup quarterback making his first start in three years in Colt McCoy and that could hurt their playoff chances for sure.

The Saints are arguably the best team in the NFL right now and have looked unstoppable on offense. Their defense has stepped up the last two weeks too, limiting the Bengals to 14 points and the Eagles to just seven.

New Orleans is fighting for home field advantage in the NFC playoffs while the Falcons are battling to just stay in the hunt. This has always been the kind of rivalry where the team not expected to win, somehow wins, so don’t count out the Birds on Thanksgiving.

Enjoy the games and good luck in your fantasy leagues!
