Happy Thanksgiving Eve everyone. I decided I’d throw a quick special edition of my Opportunities Needed for just the Thanksgiving Day slate of games. Instead of just giving you the top 3 at each position, I’m going to give you 73 players at the four different skill positions. I’ve removed some players that I already knew were ruled out, but may have missed some so be sure to double check their status prior to kickoff.
