They start off with Doug taking the “L” on the Patrick Mahomes call from last week and they also discuss some of the other quarterback play. they break down games from Alex Smith, Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan and more. They also spend some time at how little usage running backs got on the ground in Week 2. It makes for some interesting ideas going forward on who (if any) the *safe* running backs are from a usage standpoint. The list looks quite small. And then they wrap up with some of the receiving games we saw from Antonio Brown, Michael Thomas, the Vikings’ guys and more. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback - Ben Roethlisberger Primary Target - Antonio Brown Secondary Target - JuJu Smith-Schuster The first place I will be going this week is with the Steelers and Big Ben who is in line for a bounce-back performance after throwing three interceptions and losing two fumbles in a tie against the Browns. The weather was awful and while I am not trying to make excuses for a perceived elite offense, Big Ben did still throw for 335 yards. Looking at the Player Lab, I looked at teams in games with high totals(49+) who also have plus matchups against defenses that rank 25th or worse against the position. This spit out just two options this week and while I like both, I don't think the Saints will fall behind again and shouldn't have to throw as much. For the Steelers, they get a matchup against an electrifying offensive team in Kansas City but the issue with the Chiefs is the defense and this should lead to a very high scoring game on Sunday. They only produced one sack last week vs. the Chargers and allowed Rivers to throw for 424 yards and three touchdowns. While James Conner will be a popular running back choice this week as he got 100% touch share in week one, the Chiefs held Melvin Gordon to 64 yards on the ground but he did grab nine balls for 102 additional yards. I will have some exposure to Conner who did catch five of his six targets for 57 yards but my main target is obviously Antonio Brown who got a whopping 16 targets in week one, catching nine of them for 93 yards and...

DFS NFL Week 2 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/13/18 The DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast discussing the cash game NFL plays for FanDuel and DratKings and Week 2. There’s a lot to break down in terms of cash games where we will likely see ownership in a tighter range than we saw for opening weekend. The guys look at quarterback first where they discuss Alex Smith and Ben Roethlisberger while making the case against a possible chalk guy in Patrick Mahomes. At running back, it sure looks like going expensive will be the play with James Conner, Alvin Kamara and Todd Gurley leading the way in terms of projections. And finally, there’s value at wide receiver with Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas still likely underpriced for their improved quarterback play. All of this and more on a full NFL podcast for Week 2 on FanDuel and DraftKings. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy NFL Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Cash Games - Week 2 - 9/16/18 6% of the NFL season is already in the books and I think we learned quite a bit from Week 1. Not to say we should go overboard with every single result, but some teams did show us how they plan on attacking the season. Week 2 offers plenty of value and looks like a situation where we will want to pay up for (at least) two running backs. Let's take a look at some of the cash game considerations for DraftKings and FanDuel.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Alex Smith FD 7100 DK 6000 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 19.45 DK - 20.09 Alex Smith came into his first game as a Redskin and basically just did a bunch of Alex Smith things. He completed 70% of his passes (21/30) for 255 yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinals in a game where Washington wasn’t challenged even in the slightest. In very Alex Smith-fashion, he ended the week with the fewest (3.3) averaged intended yards of any quarterback on the week, meaning he kept the air attack short and sweet. He was also good for eight rushes, an aspect of his game that helped raise his fantasy floor last season (60/355/1 on the year) and makes him a rather ideal cash game play at these prices. He’ll rarely blow it out of the box, but in this middle-of-the-pack pricing it’s tough to imagine him just destroying lineups. Washington draws the Colts at home after the latter allowed a 75% completion percentage to Andy Dalton in Week 1. Dalton only attempted 28 passes, but was ultra-efficient against a Colts’ defense that put him under almost no pressure (three total hits on the QB). Smith worked the possession game in Week 1, spreading targets without every really needing to get the wide receivers in the mix. He has enough options to pick apart the the Colts’ D with the only real issue coming if they want to establish a ground game with Peterson early. Ben Roethlisberger FD 7600 DK 6900 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 20.14 DK - 21 While the hype training is running completely out of control for the quarterback on the other side of this matchup, I’m...
