Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/24/17 We already covered Le'Veon Bell, Jay Ajayi and Ty Montgomery in our main picks article article. For this article we’ll cover some more cash game considerations as well as some tournament targets.

CJ Anderson FD 6900 DK 5800 Opponent BUF Proj Points FD - 15.85 DK - 16.96 I mentioned him in passing in the main picks article but wanted to look a little closer at his opportunity this week. The Broncos have leaned heavily on CJ to start the season carrying the ball 20 and 25 times in the first two weeks respectively. He hasn’t been overwhelmingly efficient in that span (4.3 ypc) but it’s hard to ignore this kind of usage. The Broncos have dominated the time of possession in the first two weeks with their defense generally stymying the Chargers and especially the Cowboys. The Bills are (significantly) worse than both those teams and Denver comes in as a -3 road favorite. It wouldn’t shock me to see them play another grind it out game with CJ leading the charge. He’s priced in the middle tier for a guy getting elite volume. He’s a borderline cash game play and definite GPP target. Tarik Cohen FD 5600 DK 5600 Opponent PIT Proj Points FD - 13.75 DK - 16.99 Look, I’m reserving the right to swap Cohen right over to the cash game article if Jordan Howard were to sit out Week 3 with an injury. If that were the case, then Cohen would likely become a chalk play across the industry. As it stands though, he’s in play even in his current role. Cohen has an absolutely insane (considering his relative unknown nature in the preseason) 21 targets in the passing game good for 15/116/1 through the air. He’s actually one of the NFL’s leading target guys through two weeks. The Bears haven’t used him much on the ground, but in PPR his passing down usage is almost enough to sustain the DK price. And again, if Howard sits then he likely...

There’s a lot to consider this week with some of the matchups. At quarterback they discuss Matt Ryan, Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr.

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 - 9/24/17 Week 2 is in books and we got at least a semblance of entertaining football after a rubbish opening weekend. There's a ton to dissect this week as some teams are dealing with major injuries, others are shifting some of their approach and some teams are just in straight up great matchups. Let's get to it with some Week 3 picks for FanDuel and DraftKings. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL optimizer for FanDuel and DraftKings, our MLB Optimizer, and our new Player Lab!

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Matt Ryan FD 8500 DK 7100 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 21.47 DK - 22.42 The dude is just so freaking efficient. Last season he was the most consistent fantasy QB (.27 CV) over the course of the season, and it’s easy to see why. He completed 70% of his passes, barely got picked (7 INTs) and had by far the best TD/ Pass Attempt rate in the league. That’s what happens when you have an accurate passer with a ton of weapons in a dynamic offense. Now the TDs may have been a little run-hot as he has only thrown two this season, but they are still throwing in the red zone and everything else about his game remains the same. Detroit has allowed the 235 YPG through the air this season against Carson Palmer and Eli Manning. Ryan could give them fits here. This game could be a shootout with an over/under of 48.5 and a then spread (ATL -3). Aaron Rodgers FD 9300 DK 7300 Opponent CIN Proj Points FD - 22.37 DK - 22.86 Let’s see how many weeks we can go through this same drill. He came surprisingly under-owned on both FanDuel and DraftKings last week despite the matchup and he delivered (albeit in a garbage time-y kind of way) with a final line of 343/2 despite operating without his two best receivers and two starting tackles. Rodgers is just that good and he can take the second team receiver group and make them look like Pro Bowlers. This week I’m not quite as high on him simply because there’s a little bit of blowout risk (-9) and he could still be without those aforementioned guys. But only Ryan was a more consistent fantasy commodity last season and Rodgers was the leading fantasy option by a not-insignificant...

DFS NFL Talk - Look Back at Week 2 and Ahead to Week 3 - 9/19/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the Tuesday NFL podcast looking back at Week 2 and ahead to Week 3. There’s a lot to dissect here after a pretty exciting week of football. First they look at how some of the Week 2 injuries to guys like Greg Olsen, Corey Coleman and Jordan Howard could effect things for their teams going forward. They also look at some of the performances of Week 2 and try to discern if this is the level of production we can expect from guys like Jay Ajayi, Jarvis Landry, Chris Carson and Alshon Jeffrey. And finally they discuss Kareem Hunt’s early season returns and Le’Veon Bell’s price drop across the industry. All of this and more on the NFL podcast for FanDuel and DraftKings.
