Weekly NFL Stacks for DraftKings and FanDuel - Week 3 The first two weeks of the season are now behind us and while they seemed quite different in how they turned out one thing remained the same. Team stacks have been the centerpiece of the majority of the winning lineups. Week one saw a Brees/Cooks/Snead stack take home the Milli Maker on both FanDuel and DraftKings while week two had a similar feel in that a Newton/Benjamin/Olsen stack hogged all the money on Sunday. Due to the sites taking the MNF game out of the main slate which includes the Milli Makers I will be concentrating on Sunday games only in this article. In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. SIGN UP NOW! Week 3 NFL Stacks   Stack #1 - Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants QB - Kirk Cousins Elite Options - Desean Jackson, Jordan Reed Value Options - Jamison Crowder   With all the focus on Odell Beckham Jr. and Josh Norman this weekend I will be looking at the other side of the ball and stacking the Redskins offense in large field tournaments like the Milli Maker. The Giants are -3.5 favorites and if game script goes to plan the Redskins should be forced to throw a ton in the second half just to keep up with the powerful Giants offense. Cousins comes with an excellent value price tag on both sites which will allow to to team stack him with his two favorite targets in WR Desean Jackson and TE Jordan Reed. Jackson will be extremely motivated after Giants corner called him a speed/deep guy. Look for multiple deep shots and double digit targets for both guys. If you want to go with a bit more value you can consider Crowder as well as he has caught 12 balls on 18 targets so far in 2016 with one touchdown. If you feel this game will be a shootout consider also starting a Giants wideout as it can correlate closely to winning a big tournament if game flow goes right. OBJ makes an excellent choice as it was Shepard who exploded last week for 100+ yards and a touchdown while Beckham was limited to 86 yards. The tough matchup vs. Norman may also send most people to other elite options on Sunday.       Stack #2 - Tennessee Titans vs....

WIDE RECEIVER VALUES T.Y. Hilton FD 7400 DK 6800 Opponent SD Proj Points FD - 17.81 DK - 21.02 Phillip Dorsett FD 6000 DK 4400 Opponent SD Proj Points FD - 10.63 DK - 12.58 It's probably not totally correct to put Hilton in the "Value Play" article. He should have been in the main picks piece, but with the news that Donte Moncrief will be out for awhile TY gets a boost in his already impressive number of targets. Through two weeks he ranks second in the league in looks with 23 but has only converted 10 of them. He's never been particularly efficient in this regard, but this number is low even for him. Hilton converts 57% of his targets so we could see some regression. Expect him to see even more of the load with Moncrief down and he could be in line for a huge game. Meanwhile, Phillip Dorsett should slide into the WR2 spot and could see in the 7-8 range of looks. That's a fine expectation considering his prices, especially on DraftKings. I don't see him as a cash game play because after Hilton, Luck is content spreading the ball far and wide in the passing game. But I like Dorsett as a tournament play. Jarvis Landry FD 7000 DK 6600 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 15.27 DK - 19.07 Jeremy Maclin FD 7000 DK 6000 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 14.88 DK - 17.96 Jordan Matthews FD 6900 DK 7100 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 15.32 DK - 18.82 I made brief mention of these guys in the main picks article and I'm going to group all three together again here. They are ranked 2,2,5 in targets this season with (23,23,22 respectively). It's tough to distinguish between the three considering they are all basically the same prices and are in advantageous situations. I'd rank them in the order...

Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Values for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 3  9/22/16 We covered our main cash game plays in our Week 3 Picks where we touched on DeAngelo Williams, Lamar Miller, Ezekiel Elliot and Melvin Gordon. For this piece we will touch on some of the cheaper targets you can use for salary relief and/ or GPP upside. In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format.

RUNNING BACK VALUES Cameron Artis-Payne FD 4800 DK 3000 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 10.91 DK - 11.5It’s tough to trust really any coach at this point when they say so-and-so is going to be “The Guy” when it comes to the backfield. That’s what Ron Rivera said about CAP even though dude hasn’t even suited up in the first two weeks. Some of that could have been special teams/ roster size constraints. But you don’t typically see too many guys just not play and then all of a sudden get thrust into main role on offense. So label me skeptical. That being said, Artis-Payne is coming as cheap as you’ll ever see a starting running back on DraftKings with a $3000 tag and the $4800 on FanDuel doesn’t break the bank either. I still think he splits heavy time with Fozzy Whitaker who got a decent workload last week when J-Stew went down. Payne is a decent cheap option here if you think he creeps right above double digit rushes. Theo Riddick FD 6400 DK 4900 Opponent GB Proj Points FD - 11.76 DK - 13.63 This isn’t the All-injury Edition for nothing. With Ameer Abdullah out for at least a couple of weeks the Lions will have to make up some of his production in a timeshare. Riddick took the bulk of the carries last week going 11/37. The yards per carry might be an issue as he doesn’t have much size to run between the tackles. But the Lions can keep him out there a little more because he is a threat in the passing game. It’s the latter piece which gives him so much value considering he has 10 targets in the first two weeks while only playing in limited snaps. The usage should increase here with no Abdullah though it’s worth mentioning that...
