Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Davis Mills: Mills only completed 50% of his passes for 5.0 yards per pass attempt on Sunday against the Chiefs, but he managed his highest-scoring fantasy game of the season due to tossing a pair of touchdowns while adding a 17-yard rushing touchdown.
Mills hit in one of the clear spots we have been targeting all season against the Chiefs. He does have a similar matchup here against a Titans team allowing a league-high 17.9 passing points per game to quarterbacks. Unfortunately, Mills is still stuck as a QB2 option because he saw this matchup already once this season. Back when these teams met in Week 8, Mills was the QB25 (8.9 points), completing 58.6% of his passes for 5.2 Y/A with one touchdown and one interception.
