Quarterback Drew Brees FD 8200 DK 6600 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 As an old guy myself, I'm horrified by Drew Brees and hoping for a speedy recovery. As a DFS owner, I'm thinking about the ramifications for this weekend's contests. Adam Schefter reported that Taysom Hill is going to start against the Falcons this weekend, which creates one of the strangest DFS opportunities we've had since we started this business. Hill is currently a $4,500 tight end on FanDuel, which makes him an absolute must in cash games on FanDuel this week. UPDATE: The Saints have walked back the news that Hill is the definitive starter, so you'll need to check this news as the game gets closer. Matthew Stafford FD 7500 DK 6000 Opponent CAR Proj Points FD - 17.32 DK - 18.01 Stafford has been limited in practice, but the Lions seem optimistic that he'll be out there against the Panthers this week. He's wearing a protective device to safeguard the torn ligament in his thumb, but he should be ready to go by game time. I'm not interested in playing Stafford, and would be concerned about running any of his receivers even if he gets the green light. Teddy Bridgewater FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 18.03 DK - 18.62 Bridgewater is currently considered "unlikely" to play against the Lions this weekend, and his absence would kill any remaining interest we have in the speculative Carolina receivers. An MCL sprain could hamper Bridgewater's ability to get out in space and create time for his receivers to get open, and even if he plays I'd be pretty concerned to play his receivers here. Running Back Christian McCaffrey FD 10000 DK 9400 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 McCaffrey has been ruled out of week 11's tilt with the Lions, leaving the RB1 duties to Mike Davis once again. While you can't take Davis' performance against a brutal Bucs defense as an indicator of how he'll do every week, the combination of a bad week and a dramatic rise in price certainly takes some of the shine off of him. Still, he's a terrific play in big tournaments, where the aforementioned concerns should create an opportunity to play a high upside back with relatively low ownership. Joe Mixon...
