With so many injuries across the league, Week 3 could look something like a minefield in terms of safe plays and guys try to make sense at different price tiers in each position. At quarterback, they look at some cheaper options if not totally set on playing Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes on the upper end of the salary scale. Then, there’s a discussion about running backs and whether we are looking at another week of trying to fit in three running backs in every lineup in order to grab safety around the position. They look at Ezekiel Elliot in a dream matchup against the Dolphins, what Cam Newton’s status does to Christian McCaffrey’s status and more. And at wide receiver and tight end they wade through a number of options who aren’t overly cost...
DFS NFL Podcast – Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/17/19
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 2 Recap and Week 3 Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/17/19 After a Week 2 filled with injuries to key players, the DFSR guys jump on their DFS NFL Podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings look back at Sunday and preview Week 3. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! It was a bad week to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. After Sam Darnold was ruled out with mono, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees were hurt in Sunday’s action. This follows Andrew Luck retiring and Nick Foles going down in Week 1. All of a sudden, 17% of teams are without the QBs they thought they’d enter the season with. On top of that, there’s some running back concern going into Week 3 with James Conner, LeSean McCoy and Damien Williams all suffering Week 2 injuries. Plus the guys ask if we should just stream defenses against the Dolphins for the rest of the season? Is Lamar Jackson a fantasy god? Who are the *safe* running backs and...

Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 7500 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.08 DK - 23.71 Travis Kelce FD 8000 DK 7300 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 14.17 DK - 17.81 Mecole Hardman FD 4700 DK 4800 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 6.96 DK - 8.56 Not much has to be said here from a talent standpoint as MVP Mahomes and company picked up right where they left off in 2018. They opened the 2019 season facing the 6th ranked DVOA defense from last year, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and pretty much waxed the floor with them despite losing Tyreke Hill in the first quarter. Mahomes went off for 378 yards and three touchdowns, all of which went to Sammy Watkins who stepped up in a big way with Hill's absence. He caught nine of a game-high 11 targets for a whopping 198 yards and pretty much broke the slate. As you can see from the list of players above I am going in a different direction this week and will be mostly fading Watkins and his likely high ownership due to recency bias. Instead, I will take the projected ownership discount and roll with rookie Mecole Hardman who should step into the Tyreke Hill role. There is definitely risk here as he is a rookie in his second game in the NFL and ended week one dropping his only target in a game where the Chiefs scored 40 points. The best part here is that he comes cheap under $5K on both sites and pairing him with Mahomes still allows you to pay up at running back and/or tight end. Speaking of, if Hardman appears to be mega chalk come Sunday morning(check FanshareSports) I will be pivoting a ton of exposure over to Kelce. Yes, he will be popular as well but is a proven elite player and the combination of Mahomes and Kelce is very expensive and likely outside the Top 3 highest owned two-man stacks which to me seems like a mistake considering the enormous upside.

DFS NFL Podcast – Week 2 Game-by-Game Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/12/19
DFS NFL Podcast - Week 2 Game-by-Game Preview for FanDuel and DraftKings 9/12/19 It's a breakdown of the main slate of games in their DFS NFL Podcast covering FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Week 2 in the NFL tends to offer a chance to take advantage of folks overreacting to some Week 1 performances. That could be the case this time around with a number of *out of nowhere* guys crushing last Sunday. James Davis and Doug Norrie roll through each game on the main slate and talk about some buy low candidates, dudes to fade based on outlier performances and more. They highlight a few interesting games including the Arizona Cardinals-Baltimore Ravens that has the latter as huge home favorites. Could the Cardinals spend the whole day passing again and playing catchup? Of course, there's the Patriots as huge, -18, favorites against the lowly Dolphins. Is there value in a spread like this or could we see the Pats' starters sitting by the 4th? And they spend time on the big point games, Chiefs-Raiders and Rams-Saints. With so many implied points coming into these matchups, does it make sense to cash stack both and maybe call it a day? All of this and much more on a packed DFS NFL podcast for FanDuel and...

Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! They need to get into Lamar Jackson one more time here and discuss whether it's going to be worth it to go back to the well this time around against the Cardinals. The price has come up and they discuss whether Week 1 was a total outlier or if there's maybe reason to still trot him out there in cash games. They also discuss Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen as well at the position. Things seem a little less clear at running back where there could be some buy low candidates who struggled in Week 1 or have to trust the usage we saw in the opening week. And at receiver, they discuss some mid tier options to round out salaries if the other positions have solid pay up options. Subscribe to this podcast on iTunes Listen on Stitcher Listen on...
