Briggs has the best shot of winning

The FedEx ground player looks to be wrapped up by Turner….can’t really argue against 4 TD’s.

I don't know

I don’t think any of them will win. Reed’s 108 yard return will be hard to beat. Douglas was a monster last week and like you said, Turner’s 4 tds are hard to beat.
