What Is Jock MKT?
The simplest way to outline this is daily fantasy sports meets the stock market. You’ll purchase shares of players for varying amounts, depending on how much others are willing to pay for them during the IPO. Once the Live Trading starts, you can buy players that others want to sell or sell your players during the game. Once all of the games have ended, you will receive money based on how well your player performs compared to the field on the Jock MKT app for this week.

Top Player
Amari Cooper
Projected Rank: 7th
Jock MKT Projection: 12.27 Fantasy Points
Everyone is expecting the Cincinnati Bengals to dominate the Cleveland Browns on Halloween night. While I agree, Cincy is the better team, they have been for years yet are 0 for their last four against the Browns. Joe Burrow himself has never beaten the Cleveland Browns. Now they’re on the road in Cleveland, facing a team that’s absolutely desperate for a win. This is a run-heavy, run-first team but Cooper has 100% been the alpha of their receivers. He leads the team in both Air Yards% and Target% and has received a heavy target-share in the red-zone as well. Now factor in that their number two pass catcher — David Njoku — is out for this game. I think Cooper is capable of a huge game tonight, and he’s topped 75+ yards and a touchdown in three of his four home games this season. He has also scored in every single game in Cleveland. His ceiling is just as high as the Bengals pass catchers, but he should come at a nice discount on Monday night.
Value Player
David Bell
Projected Rank: 14th
Jock MKT Projection: 4.22 Fantasy Points
Bell is a flier for me on Monday night, and he continues to be more involved as we move deeper into the season. He is not a full-time player, only logging around a 45-50% route-rate over the last two weeks. That being said, he has been pretty much exclusively in the slot when on the field for the Browns and is the cheapest player I would target tonight. It feels like his role will continue to grow, and I don’t hate betting on a breakout game here.
