Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 – 11/8/17
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 - 11/8/17 After a blowout-riddled Week 9 that saw most of the 1PM EST games over well before the 3PM hour struck, we get a Week 10 with some interesting matchups. We'll have to wait on some team news to fully flesh out a couple of spots (most notably running back) but there's plenty of value heading into Sunday.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Matthew Stafford FD 8200 DK 6800 Opponent CLE Proj Points FD - 19.13 DK - 20.03 I typically keep our cash game plays to quarterbacks who can get out and run because time-after-time we’ve seen those guys have higher floors because they add a whole other component to their game. Stafford doesn’t fit the mold, though there are very few moderately-priced QBs on this slate with that kind of makeup. What Stafford has going for him is passing volume. He’s second in the NFL with 303 attempts thanks in large part to the Lions’ inability to get anything going on the ground. It’s a rubber meets the road situation against Cleveland who ranks 1st in DVOA against the run and 28th against the pass. Detroit has the second highest implied total on the main slate and like I said, it’s hard to imagine they are able to generate a ton of that scoring on the ground. Stafford is getting expensive but still ranks as one of the better cash game value quarterbacks going. Eli Manning FD 6700 DK 5100 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 16.48 DK - 17.53 Ok, don’t laugh. I know this is a weird place to start with cash game plays for a week, and honestly, I wish I could have listed the quarterback position last in this article because I think you are going to make some tough decisions at the position this week. Manning is somewhat in the mold of Stafford in that his team struggles to run the ball and he’s been forced to throw a ton this season. He’s averaging 37 attempts per game, has a couple of receivers in Shepard and Engram who he can “trust” and faces the garbage San Franciso D that’s allowing the most opponent plays per game. Manning is coming very cheap on both sites which allows for...

Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 – 11/5/17
Daily Fantasy Football Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 10 - 11/5/17 Welcome back football fans. It's week nine in the National Football League and unfortunately, we have to start off with some terrible injury news to one of the most exciting players in the league. DeShaun Watson suffered a torn ACL in Thursday's practice and will undergo season-ending surgery. Another huge blow to a Texans team that has already lost J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus for the season. It is also a huge blow to the NFL and its fans as it just adds to the list of stars who have gone down(Aaron Rodgers, Odell Beckham, David Johnson, Dalvin Cook). Nevertheless, we must move on and talk about the players who are still playing so let's jump right into my top stacks for this week. If you missed it on the main page, also be sure to check out the DFSR Game by Game podcast where Doug and James discuss the top plays of the week at each position.

New Orleans Saints Quarterback - Drew Brees Primary Target - Michael Thomas Secondary Target - Tedd Ginn Jr. Using the DFSR Player Lab this week, I broke the quarterback options using just two filters. I set the "High Vegas O/U" filter to 50 or more points and the "Poor Defense vs. Pass" filter to 20th or worse. This gave me two options to choose from and it was neck and neck who I was going to choose until the news broke Friday morning that Ezekiel Elliot's suspension was once again called off thanks to a temporary stay from the Second Circuit Court. That made my decision easy this week as I will turn to Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints who get an elite matchup vs. the Bucs who rank 31st in defense vs. the pass on the Lab and rank 30th overall when looking at passing yards per game allowed this season(274.7). When equating that to fantasy points, they have allowed the fifth-most DraftKings and sixth-most FanDuel points per game to quarterbacks. The number gets even worse when looking at wideouts as they rank dead last in DK points and second last in FD points per game allowed. That is great news for Michael Thomas who is seeking his first...
