Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 2 - 9/17/17 We already covered Ezekiel Elliott, Melvin Gordon and Ty Montgomery in our main picks article article. For this article we’ll cover some more cash game considerations as well as some tournament targets. Unlike Week 1, the ownership at RB in cash games could be much more spread out with some rookies taking off last Sunday and other chalkier guys falling short.

We've got you completely covered. Le'Veon Bell FD 9000 DK 9800 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 18.39 DK - 20.6 Well, it didn’t take long for Bell to fall out of the main set of picks. That’ll happen when your Week 1 looked something like his 10/32/0 ground game against a Cleveland team horrific against the run last season. It was a brutal performance by a highly-owned Bell who now leave many of us wondering about his role going forward. It isn’t smart to completely overreact to one game, especially for a guy who missed the whole preseason, but it’s at least a little concerning how much the Steelers used him. That being said, we are likely to get low ownership on a guy who has as much week-to-week upside as anyone in the game. Bell is elite, and it’s hard to imagine too many weeks like last one. He doesn’t draw a great matchup Christian McCaffrey FD 6600 DK 5600 Opponent BUF Proj Points FD - 14.46 DK - 16.56 The overall output wasn’t anything to write home about (to his famous, former pro dad Ed) but there’s a lot to like about McCaffrey’s first game in the pros. He though Jonathan Stewart led the team in carries, McCaffrey out-snapped the former 47 to 29 (per FantasyData) and the two finished with the same amount of overall relative volume (Rush Att + Targets) at 20 looks total. One very much has to assume this is the Panthers’ plan this season after showing their hand in Week 1 and outside of some gross incompetence on the of CMc, you’d have to think they choose to favor the rookie going forward. I love the upside here and think he comes in wildly underowned based on a...

DFS NFL Talk - Cash Game Considerations for Week 2 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Thursday NFL podcast discussing some of the cash game considerations for Week 2 on FanDuel and DraftKings.
