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...

DFS NFL Talk - Look Back at Week 2 and Ahead to Week 3 - 9/19/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday NFL podcast looking back at Week 2 and ahead to Week 3. There’s a lot to dissect here after a pretty exciting week of football. First they look at how some of the Week 2 injuries to guys like Greg Olsen, Corey Coleman and Jordan Howard could effect things for their teams going forward. They also look at some of the performances of Week 2 and try to discern if this is the level of production we can expect from guys like Jay Ajayi, Jarvis Landry, Chris Carson and Alshon Jeffrey. And finally they discuss Kareem Hunt’s early season returns and Le’Veon Bell’s price drop across the industry. All of this and more on the NFL podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.

Daily Fantasy Football Wide Receivers Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 2 - 9/17/17 We already covered Jordy Nelson, Amari Cooper, Michael Thomas and the Jags’ WR group in our main picks article article. For this article we’ll cover some more cash game considerations as well as some tournament targets.

We've got you completely covered. Julio Jones FD 8800 DK 9200 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 16.05 DK - 19.23 This isn’t a “sleeper” article so we’ll lead off with the top projected WR on the slate. He didn’t make our cash game article because of the price and Julio’s tendency over the last couple of seasons to almost disappear from games. That was the case in Week 1 in which he finished with a 4/66 line on 5 measly targets. It was an inauspicious start for arguably one of the top 3 WRs in the league. But Julio’s issue (and it was the problem last year) is complete inconsistency in his week-to-week performances. He was one of the most volatile wide outs in the league last year and had extreme peaks and valleys in his performances. That makes him a concern for cash game structures where you are often paying top dollar for a player who doesn’t locked in targets each game. But the Falcons are in a fantastic spot here at home in a game that should be a shootout. He’s a clear GPP target and that isn’t going out on a limb, but I’d caution against using him in “safer” contests. Keenan Allen FD 7100 DK 5800 Opponent MIA Proj Points FD - 13.96 DK - 17.3 When healthy, Allen has one of the some of the best per game target numbers you’ll seen. “When healthy” is the operative term here though because he played only one half of the first game last season before going down with a torn ACL (though I should note he was 6/63 on 7 targets in that half). He came back and picked up right where he left off in the target department in Week 1, leading the team with 10 though he only converted it to a 5/35 game. But that was against a tough Denver defense secondary of Aqib Talib and Chris Harris. The Dolphins don’t have anything close to that kind of one-on-one...
