We've got you completely covered. Impressive Performances Todd Gurley - 40.8 FP - 113 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards, 3 TD This was one of the more fun Thursday Night Football games in quite some time, and we saw plenty of fantasy goodness make it's way out. Gurley led the bunch, going for over 40 fantasy points. He's been over 18 in each of his 3 games and it looks like Gurley is going to be one of the bigger touches-hog at RB. You can't even really name the Rams backup RB. In week 4, the match-up with the Cowboys is interesting. They have shown some flashes on defense, but if the Rams are just going to feed him all-game long, they aren't good enough to keep him out of the endzone. He may end up with high ownership and I'm fine with the fade in that case. Stefon Diggs - 40.3 FP - 8 catches, 173 yards, 2 TD Well, basically the entire industry was wrong on this one. With Sam Bradford out, Case Keenum was expected to struggle and diminish the value of Diggs and Thielen. However, this week gave us a much different story. Keenum looked just as good as Bradford and peppered Diggs with 11 targets. He may finally have taken a step forward, which is great news for the Vikings, as you can't count on Bradford for more than a week at a time. Diggs is going to continue being a target monster and he has one of the friendliest-schedules in the league. He will see Darius Slay next week, so it might not be the game you want to target him in. Chris Thompson - 33.8 FP - 38 rushing yards, 150 receiving yards, TD This is a guy who can hurt you on the ground and through the air. He's not just a pass-catching RB, he's a receiver. He can catch it from the slot, backfield, or split wide. He can also run between the tackles and has done a good job of staying away from the hard hits that used to knock him out every week. Remember, this is a guy who broke his entire back just a couple years ago. Kirk Cousins loves dumping it down to him and...

Daily Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 – 9/24/17
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...
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 – 9/24/17
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/24/17 Week two went a little better than week one but we still have a lot of room for improvement. Before getting into this week's picks, let's take a look back at the results from last week. First up was the Falcons and while they scored 34 points, two of the touchdowns came from Devonta Freeman on the ground thus limiting Matt Ryan to 28 pass attempts and 252 yards with one touchdown. Julio rebounded and had a big day, however, catching five of his nine targets for 108 yards. The correlation play of Jordy Nelson didn't work out as he left early with an injury and did not return.

Julio rebounded and had a big day, however, catching five of his nine targets for 108 yards. The correlation play of Jordy Nelson didn't work out as he left early with an injury and did not return. The Patriots paid off in a big way as Tom Brady balled out completing 30 of 39 passes for 447 yards and three touchdowns. Two of those touchdowns hit our targets as Gronk caught six of nine targets for 116 yards and a touchdown and Chris Hogan caught five of his six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown. Your guess is as good as mine with Brandin Cooks only getting four targets with two catches and 37 yards. He will most likely be a boom or bust player all season so use him in GPP only moving forward. The contrarian stack failed miserably as Jared Goff was limited to just 25 pass attempts vs. the Redskins and racked up just 224 yards and one touchdown. My PPR favorite, Cooper Kupp, also let us down with just three catches on six targets. This week should be another nice week for stacking as there are six games with a Vegas Total over 46, two over 50 and we also get some tight spreads with just one team coming in as a double-digit favorite(NE -13.5 vs. HOU). Let's jump right in and take a look at a couple of the top stacks and my contrarian stack of the week.
