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
David Montgomery
Projected Rank: 3rd
Jock MKT Projection: 14.00 Fantasy Points
Chicago doesn’t throw the ball a lot, and if not going after Justin Fields then I believe Montgomery to be the top option on Thursday night. Monty returned from injury last week and pretty much completely iced Khalil Herbert with 16 touches to Herbert’s four. He’s averaging around 18 touches per game this season, and is now installed as a home favorite as opposed to being an underdog. Monty has been commanding targets as well, with ten on the season. Overall, Chicago has been feeding him one of the few workhorse roles in football this season and in games where they’re leading or ahead he has received a massive workload. This should be a low-scoring, uglier game so that type of volume sets you apart from the field.
Value Player
Cam Sims
Projected Rank: 15th
Jock MKT Projection: 3.64 Fantasy Points
Dyami Brown popped for two huge TD’s in last weeks game, but Sims was actually the biggest winner with Jahan Dotson out pretty much stepping in exclusively for him outside. He ran a route on 25 of Wentz’s drop-backs compared to Brown’s number of 16 — and earned just one less target than him. Wentz is dealing with a banged up shoulder on a short week, and I doubt he will be throwing the ball deep often on Thursday. That being said, Sims is so far down in the pre-ranking he only needs one or two plays to crush value and we know he’s going to be on the field at a higher rate than almost any other player priced around him.
