Quarterbacks Kyler Murray FD 8400 DK 6800 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 24 DK - 24.79 It’s an embarrassment of riches at quarterback this week with a ton of upper-tier QBs in great spots. And we aren’t going to worry too much about having to pay a premium on the position. There’s just so much value at running back that we’ll be able to spend up at quarterback and wide receiver specifically. Let’s start with Murray who we recommended in cash games for last week. He was as good as promised with 286 yards and a touchdown through the air and another 67 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Through two weeks he leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards and is actually ninth overall in the NFL on the ground. He’s improved his accuracy, completing 67% of his passes and one has to assume the passing touchdowns tick up as the season goes on. The Lions have been one of the worst defenses in the league through two weeks and Murray is in another smash spot. Cam Newton FD 7700 DK 6700 Opponent LV Proj Points FD - 23.23 DK - 24.02 Through two weeks, Cam Newton is sixth overall in DraftKings scoring with 32.14 points per game. It’s been a complete effort on his part, essentially contributing to every part of the Patriots’ offense. He is second overall in quarterback rushing yards (behind Murray) with 122 yards on the ground and his four rushing touchdowns lead the league. He’s also been ultra-efficient through the air with a 71% completion percentage and ranks sixth in yards per attempt. The Giants’ defense hasn’t been terrible to start the season, but they are going to have trouble keeping the ball out of opponents’ hands with Saquon Barkley now lost for the year. The Pats have the third-highest implied point total on the slate (behind Arizona and Dallas) and...

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo FD 7400 DK 6500 Opponent KC Proj Points FD - 19.51 DK - 20.49 To say Jimmy G’s first two games have failed to live up the end of the 2017 season hype train would be an understatement. He really struggled in Week 1 on the road against a very good Viking’s defense and Week 2 against the Lions saw the 49ers establishing the run in a game they led by 17 entering the 4th quarter. Prepare to see a shift in Week 3. For all of the Patrick Mahomes’ hype / KC offensive juggernaut, their defense has allowed an ungodly 860 yards through the air in the first two weeks. That’s 100 more yards than the next closest team (Tampa Bay). Sure, teams have been forced to play catch up against the Mahomes “Every single drive I get the ball I score a TD” offense. But the defense was bad last year (30th in DVOA) and really doesn’t look at all improved this year. Garoppolo completed 70% of his passes in Week 2 working his 18 completions to eight different receivers. He also threw for to touchdowns and had a drive *shortened* by a Matt Breida 66 yard run in the third. This game should script very well for Jimmy G in that he’s the QB with the second-most implied points as an underdog. Deshaun Watson FD 7700 DK 6100 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 21.28 DK - 22.39 Carson Wentz FD 7400 DK 6200 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 20.93 DK - 21.79 All right, stay with me here for a second. I know both of these guys are basically less than a year removed from ACL surgery and Wentz is making his season debut after sitting out the first two games. But I think in both cases we could be looking at buy-low opportunities. Let’s start...
DFS NFL Podcast Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings – 9/18/18
DFS NFL Podcast Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings - 9/18/18 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NFL podcast recapping a Week 2 for FanDuel and DraftKings and looking ahead at some early ideas for Week 3. 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...
