START YOUR FREE TRIAL! QUARTERBACKS Aaron Rodgers FD 9100 DK 7800 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 22.79 DK - 23.47 Two of your top receivers out? No running back? No fantasy problem for Rodgers who last week put up one of the best games of Sunday throwing for 246 yards and 4 touchdowns while also adding 60 yards on the ground. He was able to complete 74% of his passes continuing a solid three week trend in which he’s been much more accurate. That’s come at the sacrifice of big yard accumulation. But the passing volume makes up for it some respects. The Packers, without any real (or at least traditional) running game are forced to take it to the air much more. Plus Rodgers’ ability to run keeps his floor so high on a given week. He has another plus matchup this time around against Indy who rank 29th in the league in DVOA against the pass. I suspect after a huge week against Atlanta we see Rodgers’ ownership climb quite a bit and he continues as a safer cash play. Drew Brees FD 8600 DK 7200 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 21.66 DK - 22.44 The Saints have the third highest implied total of the week going in behind the Packers and the Cowboys with Brees possibly in line for another high volume passing day. San Fran’s been bottom third in the league against the pass this year, ranking 20th in DVOA. (For what it’s worth they are worse against the run.) Because the Saints’ D is such garbage it’s tough for them to pull away in games which lends itself to shoot out type game scripts. Brees has a number of weapons in...
DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast – Week 8 NFL Recap 11/1/16
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NFL Podcast - Week 8 NFL Recap 11/1/16 DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look back at the wildest week in the NFL we've had yet. And it was mostly wild for one reason: injuries. So many players went down this week effecting the overall cash line to a crazy degree. Basically one big play from someone (Aaron Rodgers, Amari Cooper, etc) and you were home free. They discuss some other injury news to guys like Spencer Ware and Jacquizz Rodgers. And they touch briefly on the rumors of an impending merger between FanDuel and DraftKings. Subscribe to this podcast on...
Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 8 10/30/16
Daily Fantasy Football Running Back Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 8 10/30/16 There are a number of injury pieces this week vaulting some cheap running backs into fantastic situations. We covered our main cash game plays in our Week 8 Picks where we touched on David Johnson, and Devonta Freeman. For this piece we will touch on some of the other strong plays to consider on a week chock full of RB's. You can still access our 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. START YOUR FREE 3 DAY TRIAL! RUNNING BACKS Devontae Booker FD 5600 DK 3700 Opponent SD Proj Points FD - 19.54 DK - 20.63 This one isn’t any kind of sneaky play at all and would have been in the main picks article had we had C.J. Anderson news before posting over there. Booker is the exact situation you are looking for in DFS. He’s a punt play style running back in line for a huge bump in usage and volume without the price coming anywhere close to catching up. He was already cutting into C.J. Anderson’s workload and then put up a nice 17/83/1 line in Week 7 against the Texans. There are also targets out of the backfield and we’ve seen the Broncos willingness to run the ball. They are favorites against San Diego and Booker will likely be the highest owned player on Sunday. He’s not sneaking up on anyone at this point. Matt Asiata FD 5600 DK 3500 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 14.57 DK - 15.56 It doesn’t look like Jerick McKinnon is going to play in this one which should open up the bulk of the carries for Asiata. Dude isn’t a good running back by any stretch of the imagination but the Vikings don’t have many other options. He’s only a 3.5 yards per carry guy for his career which isn’t good. But if he’s in line for carries in the high teens along with some usage out of the backfield in the passing game then he makes for a super cheap option. The price is super low on both sites with the Vikings solid -4 favorites at home against the Bears. It’s a Monday night game which takes him off the main slate consideration, but for that short afternoon slate he makes for a fantastic value if McKinnon sits. Jacquizz Rodgers FD 6600 DK 5800 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD...
