QB:

$6.2K Jameis Winston @ Atlanta Falcons – Primary Target

Overall, I don’t love the QB position this week but Jameis Winston stands out as a clear value in terms of price on Draftkings. He is in one of the best games of the slate going up against the Atlanta Falcons weak secondary. Additionally, he has now hit the 300 yards passing bonus in five straight games. Despite throwing way too many interceptions, he is still a strong play when you consider the matchup. He has one of the safest floors and underrated upside with his legs as he has now rushed for 20 or more yards in three of his last four games.

$5.5K Jeff Driskel @ Washington Redskins – Secondary Target

Jeff Driskel – confirmed stud. Draftkings finally decided to price him up this week but he is still way too cheap especially considering the good matchup against Washington. In his two starts, Driskel has rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown and that type of rushing upside is hard to come by at such a cheap salary. He carries a bit of risk as the Detroit offense could lay an egg here but I’m willing to bet Driskel pays off his price once again.

RB:

$10.5K Christian McCaffrey @ New Orleans Saints – Primary Target

Draftkings refuses to price CMC any higher than 10.5K which is great for us because around 50% of the field still refuses to play him every week – even in cash games. He failed to get the 100 yard rushing bonus for the first time in four games but he had 14 targets and got the 100 yard receiving bonus. He just has so many paths to being the highest scoring player on every slate. Don’t overthink it.

$5K Miles Sanders vs Seattle Seahawks – Secondary Target

I know Miles Sanders didn’t pan out last week against the Patriots but I still think it was the right play considering his role and the price. With Jordan Howard out, Sanders had 11 rushes and four targets but his usage was higher than those touches would suggest. He ran a season high routes although Wentz was reluctant to check down to him much. That being said, this week it looks like Jordan Howard is closer to doubtful again and it is a much better matchup for Jordan Howard as a home favorite this week.

WR:

$7.3K Mike Evans @ Atlanta Falcons – Primary Target

Mike Evans is perhaps the strongest bounce-back candidate this week. After two games in a row where he has underperformed in pretty good spots, he now gets a great matchup against the Falcons secondary that has given up the eighth most fantasy points to opposing WRs. If you played Evans either of the last two weeks then it would be foolish not to play him in a better spot this week.

$6.3K DK Metcalf @ Philadelphia Eagles – Secondary Target

Metcalf has finally been getting the type of volume that we can trust with 19 targets over the last two weeks. His price has risen but he is still a solid value in the upper mid-tier range especially with Tyler Lockett banged up this week. Even if Lockett is active, Metcalf has taken on a larger market share and now gets a decent matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. I mentioned in the betting article this week that I am somewhat concerned that the Seahawks lay an egg here in Philly but if they are able to keep it close then it’s going to be by Metcalf.

TE:

$3.5K Vance McDonald @ Cincinatti Bengals – Primary Target

Vance McDonald is my favorite TE play of the week regardless of the format. He has seven targets in three straight games and the Steelers could very well be without all of their skill players outside of Samuels, Washington and McDonald. The icing on the cake is that the Bengals are bottom 10 in fantasy points allowed to the TE position.

$3.6K Cameron Brate @ Atlanta Falcons – Secondary Target

I still prefer McDonald but I expect Brate could be higher owned and he is a solid play in his own right. With OJ Howard phased out of the offense once again, Brate saw 14 targets last week and we could see similar game flow this week at Atlanta. He is right up there with Vance as one of the best value TE’s of the week.

D/ST:

$3.4K Buffalo Bills vs Denver Broncos – Primary Target

The Bills D/ST has 20 sacks over their last six games. Additionally, the Broncos have one of the lowest implied team totals this week and could be without three of their starting offensive linemen as they missed practiced yesterday. The only problem is this slate has little value so it is hard to get up to their price in cash.

$2.2K Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints – Secondary Target

As a cheaper D/ST option that I expect to be pretty popular, we have the Panthers. Although they are a pretty hefty underdog going to New Orleans, we know that points allowed by D/ST position has minimal effect in production on Draftkings. The Panthers have been a solid defense all year and you can safely project them for at least two sacks each week. That is a good enough floor with some upside at such a cheap price tag.
