GPP Ownership Pivot Plays for Week 3 on FanDuel and DraftKings Welcome back football fans. Week 2 once again proved that you can have some chalk in your lineup if you are going to win a GPP but you will also need one or two lower owned players to help separate yourself from the pack. Also, be sure to check out Doug's premium article Examining Player Usage to Find Week 3 Breakout Candidates.

Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/23/18 Welcome back football fans. We are now full steam ahead as we enter Week 3 of the NFL season and the biggest thing I notice is how pass-heavy this league has become. Only one running back had 20 or more carries in Week 2 but four of them(Barkley, McCaffrey, Thompson, Riddick) had double-digit targets. James talks about this more in-depth in his premium article so be sure to check that out. This puts even more important on stacking, in my opinion, and I have no issue with the QB/RB stack or even adding a RB to a QB/WR stack as you will see below. Let's dig in and take a look at a coupel of my top teams to target this week. Want to see the rest of this article? Go grab a free three day trial of DFSR Pro or DFSR Basic!

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...

Five (Over)Reactions to Week 1 and a Look Ahead to Week 2 9/9/18 What's the NFL without overreacting to 6% of the season sample size and making snap judgments about everything we *saw* in Week 1? The first Sunday football had a little of everything (including easy cash game victories for our users on both sites). So let's take a look at some overreactions to the week that was. And remember we'll have cash game plays, premium content and podcasts for Week 2 coming soon.

We've got you completely covered. Andrew Luck isn’t the old Andrew Luck Look, on its face, Luck’s 39/53 for 319 yards and two touchdowns doesn’t look all that bad. From a fantasy perspective, he *got there* on his price even though the Colts lost the game with the Bengals putting up 24 second-half points in a dramatic comeback punctuated by a fumble return touchdown to seal it late. But here’s my concern with Luck: while he did put up yards and was accurate (completing 74% of his passes), he clearly didn’t want to/ couldn’t get the ball downfield. His longest completion was the over the top TD to Ebron (26 yards) and according to NFL’s Next Gen passing stats, Luck’s Average Intended Yards (the average Air Yards a passer throws on all attempts) was the second-lowest of all quarterbacks in Week 1 (Alex Smith was the lowest, because of course). I wouldn’t overreact to this stat after one week except Luck is coming off of a missed season because of an injury to his throwing shoulder and some early reports were that he didn’t have his fastball. Was this the reason he wasn’t taking downfield shots or was it just the general Cincy coverage? It’s going to take some time to flush it out but he had optimal conditions in Week 1 (at home in the dome) and in Week 2 will go on the road to face the Redskins who just held Sam Bradford (not a world beater of course) to 20/34 and 153 yards.  Patrick Mahomes/ Tyreek Hill were awesome, but let’s pump the breaks just a little It was a quality season-opener for the newly-minted KC quarterback, with Mahomes securing a win on the road against a good Charger’s team. This is just the kind of win...
