Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 2

If you are looking for football content, you have come to the right place. Our DFS NFL team has already gone over our top Cash Game Plays, discussed our Top Bets, went over all of the Injury News, and broke everything down on the Game by Game Podcast. In this article, I will now be looking at a few GPP plays that we can use for leverage to try and take down a big contest.

If you are not paying up for McCaffrey you are likely running one or two of Zeke and Henry in the top tier and that leaves a giant gap of ownership with Saquon Barkley. Last week's performance(15 carries for 6 yards) definitely isn't going help me make a case here from a performance perspective but the good news is that he did catch six of nine targets for 60 yards, somewhat salvaging his price tag. We know the upside he provides as one of the best running backs in football and gets to now go up against a Bears defense that is not as scary as some make it out to be as they just gave up 93 rushing yards to a 35-year-old Adrian Peterson on just 14 carries(6.6 yards per rush). At the end of the day, I am not going to trust him in cash games but if we are getting him around 5% ownership, I think he makes an excellent GPP play. At that kind of ownership, we also don't need a lot of exposure to have more than the field and take advantage of his ceiling game.

From a stacking perspective, I love the Colts this week and don't think they see a whole lot of ownership with Lamar, Dak, Kyler, Rodgers, and even Matt Ryan in good spots. When looking at the Colts team and projected ownership, I think Nyheim Hines has a chance to be the highest owned on the team with Marlon Mack hitting the IR and Jonathan Taylor in only his second career game. While I love Hines' floor for cash games, I will be pivoting off and focusing on the pass game in GPP formats.

It is not even that crazy as Rivers is coming off a week one game where he threw for 363 yards and now faces a depleted Vikings secondary that let Aaron Rodgers(364 yards, 4 TD) walk all over them in week one. He also has a nice duo of wideouts with the explosive T.Y. Hilton and up and comer Parris Campbell who caught six of nine targets in week one and is priced in the value range on both sites.

This game has one of the highest totals(49) on the slate and potential for a lot of fantasy points at a lower ownership. Lock and load.
