Quarterbacks Jalen Hurts FD 8100 DK 7600 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 24.1 DK - 24.89 Jalen Hurts is QB4 in DraftKings scoring on the season and leads the position with 147 rushing yards through two weeks. He’s coming out of the gate slinging and the Eagles are coming off a big blowout win over the Vikings on Monday night. The rushing ability gives him such a high floor and this game has the third-highest over/under of the slate (50). I like Hurts as a cash game option because it’s clear the Eagles will keep their foot on the gas on offense and he has big touchdown equity considering how they use him in the running game. Josh Allen FD 9000 DK 8200 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 23.33 DK - 24.13 Through the first two weeks of the season Josh Allen is QB2 on DraftKings and is tied for the league lead with seven throwing touchdowns. His ranking on the list is even more impressive considering the Bills haven’t even really been in close games and have been able to take their foot off the gas late in both. This game’s 54 total is the highest of the main slate and we could be looking at another shootout similar to what ended up happening last week between the Fins and the Ravens. Give me all of Josh Allen if that were to be the case and spending up here makes sense. Running Backs Joe Mixon FD 8200 DK 7600 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 17.96 DK - 19.86 After two weeks, Joe Mixon leads the league in running back usage with 59 touches (rushing attempts + passing targets). That’s eight more than the next-closest guy (Leonard Fournette) and it’s something we can lean into this week. The Bengals are road favorites again the Jets who have been the league’s worst defense in terms of DVOA through the first two weeks. Mixon’s price isn’t out of control for the amount the team is leaning on him in the offense. Austin Ekeler FD 8700 DK 8000 Opponent JAXProj Points FD - 18.74 DK - 21.72 With Keenan Allen out in Week 2, more of the passing down work went Ekeler’s direction and he finished with 10 targets, turning it into 9 catches and 55 yards. He also...

Daily Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/24/17 We already covered Antonio Brown, Keenan Allen, Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins in our main picks article article. For this article we’ll cover some more cash game considerations as well as some tournament targets. There's quite a bit to like about the wide receivers on this slate of games. Some potentially under-owned/ high volume plays could end up hitting the top of GPPS. Let's take a look.

Terrelle Pryor FD 6900 DK 5900 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 12.21 DK - 14.43 Golden Tate FD 7400 DK 6900 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 13.79 DK - 17.25 Let's use some filters on Player Lab to see how certain game type, opponents and projected usage can help single out some possibly under-owned players. Both of these guys are in interesting spots this week. Their teas enter the game as home underdogs and both are coming off weeks that saw their targets drip dramatically from Week 1. Tate had a reason for it as the Lions were blowing the doors off the Giants and simply didn't need to pass at all late in the game. Look for a bounce back game from a guy who saw 12 targets in Week 1 (10/107) and had 7 double digit target games in 2016 (all of them coming after Week 5,  he averaged 9.5 targets per game after that point). He's an elite target/ possession receiver and will likely come barely owned this week with some of the other names in his price range. He strikes me as a near perfect GPP play on both sites with the added bonus on DK for the PPR scoring. Meanwhile, Pryor is of course a bit more speculative. We saw 11 targets in Week 1 (finishing with a 6/66 and dropping a TD pass) but was all but absent in Week 2 with only 4 targets and a 2/31. But the Redskins relied heavily on the run against the Rams (39/27) and had little use for going downfield. In a matchup against the Raiders with the highest implied over/under on the week, we could see a breakout game for Pryor. Like Tate, he will likely have very low ownership and we have seen the Redskins...

DFS NFL Talk Week 3 - Game-by-game Breakdown for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/22/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Friday podcast breaking down the DFS implications for every game in the NFL Week 3. There are a lot of quality matchups for Sunday following a surprising entertaining Thursday night game. They spend some time discussing things like cheaper running backs (Tarik Cohen, C.J. Anderson, and Isaiah Crowell) as well as mid tier WR is possibly good matchups. There are also some NoHalftime challenges and a discussion about what to make of Kareem Hunt’s early season. All of that and much more on a full Friday Week 3 breakdown. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/24/17 We already covered Le'Veon Bell, Jay Ajayi 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. Week 3 in the NFL sees some pricing inefficiencies as well as some weirdness with RB usage coming out of Week 2. There's a lot to consider at the position this week.

We've got you completely covered. CJ Anderson FD 6900 DK 5800 Opponent BUF Proj Points FD - 15.85 DK - 16.96 I mentioned him in passing in the main picks article but wanted to look a little closer at his opportunity this week. The Broncos have leaned heavily on CJ to start the season carrying the ball 20 and 25 times in the first two weeks respectively. He hasn’t been overwhelmingly efficient in that span (4.3 ypc) but it’s hard to ignore this kind of usage. The Broncos have dominated the time of possession in the first two weeks with their defense generally stymying the Chargers and especially the Cowboys. The Bills are (significantly) worse than both those teams and Denver comes in as a -3 road favorite. It wouldn’t shock me to see them play another grind it out game with CJ leading the charge. He’s priced in the middle tier for a guy getting elite volume. He’s a borderline cash game play and definite GPP target. Tarik Cohen FD 5600 DK 5600 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 13.75 DK - 16.99 Look, I’m reserving the right to swap Cohen right over to the cash game article if Jordan Howard were to sit out Week 3 with an injury. If that were the case, then Cohen would likely become a chalk play across the industry. As it stands though, he’s in play even in his current role. Cohen has an absolutely insane (considering his relative unknown nature in the preseason) 21 targets in the passing game good for 15/116/1 through the air. He’s actually one of the NFL’s leading target guys through two weeks. The Bears haven’t used him much on the ground, but in PPR his passing down usage is almost enough to sustain the DK price. And again, if Howard sits then he likely...
