We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Deshaun Watson FD 7600 DK 6300 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 22.67 DK - 24.11 From a fantasy perspective, Watson got there in Week 3 by picking up some garbage time points on his way to a 385 yard, two touchdown performance against the Giants. The Texans were horrible in the red zone, fumbling, throwing an interception and settling for field goals until they were in panic mode late in the game. I was bullish on Watson as a cash game play last week and am again this time around against the Colts. Indy’s been middle of the road against the pass this season from both a total yards and yards-per-attempt standpoint. They don’t give up a ton in the way of pace but considering Watson’s multiple ways to tack on fantasy points, I do think he has a higher floor in this matchup. From a running perspective, there appear no after effects of the ACL injury with Watson racking up the third-most QB rushing yards in the league through three weeks. He also stands to benefit going forward with both Hopkins and Fuller on the field together. In a thin-spread game (Indy -1) with optimal conditions in the dome, it’s not out of the realm to have Watson as the highest-scoring QB on the main slate (no Mahomes, Big Ben, etc). Mitch Trubisky FD 6800 DK 5200 Opponent TB Proj Points FD - 20.88 DK - 21.91 One way to roll on DraftKings as we get into the season is targeting cheaper quarterbacks with high floors. That’s the case I see with Trubisky who turned in DK weeks of 16 and 15 points before getting stymied in Week 3 against the Cardinals. He was efficient enough 24/35 (69%) but lacked the yards through both...
