Quarterbacks Justin Fields FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 19.38 DK - 20.29 Andy Dalton FD 6500 DK 5200 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 There are some big moves at the quarterback position this week, and we have a lot to wade through. The biggest one is the injury to Andy Dalton which will have him missing this week. That’s opening up the chance for the electric Justin Fields to get behind center and flash some of the upside that made him a first-round pick for the Bears. He is their quarterback of the future and that should start here in Week 3 against the Browns. Filling in for the injured Dalton in Week 3, Fields showed some of why he’s a fantasy viable QB right now and could even be a cash game play. He wasn’t so accurate 6-13 for 60 yards through the air, but he took off 10 times on the ground and totaled 31 yards. A week of first-team snaps and a very low $5200 price tag on DraftKings has him totally in the cash game mix for his first start. Jacoby Brissett FD 6700 DK 4900 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 13.75 DK - 14.44 Tua Tagovailoa FD 6700 DK 5300 Opponent LVProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Tua Tagovailoa was diagnosed with broken ribs and will sit out this game and possibly more for the Dolphins. It’s a tough, early-season blow for the Fins who will now rely on Jacoby Brissett under center. The latter is an NFL veteran at this point which might not be the worst thing for Miami and he does have a week under center with the first team leading into this one. He came in and threw 40 passes in Week 2 when Tua went down early, completing 24 for *just* 169 yards. He also scrambled five times for 21 yards. At sub-$5K you can take a chance on him on DraftKings and Miami will get Will Fuller back in the mix this week which should bolster the passing attack. Carson Wentz FD 7000 DK 5700 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 18.11 DK - 18.86 Jacob Eason FD 6500 DK 4000 Opponent TENProj Points FD - 0 DK - 0 Carson Went has not one, but two sprained ankles....
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 3 Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time we're offering a free one-week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson FD 8400 DK 7800 Opponent DETProj Points FD - 27.02 DK - 27.77 Through the first two weeks of the season, Lamar Jackson has the second-most rushing yards in the league behind only Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon. He’s gotten the ground game going early and often and is coming off a huge come-from-behind victory over the Chiefs on Sunday night. The Ravens are likely riding high coming into this one against the Lions and are -8 road favorites. Going into Detroit I’m not as worried about the blowout and the Ravens are likely to continue just sticking with Jackson as the primary option. He’s got such a high floor based on how he scores points and should be the safest cash quarterback on this slate. Daniel Jones FD 7400 DK 5800 Opponent ATLProj Points FD - 21.66 DK - 22.46 Daniel Jones is QB8 on DraftKings through the first two weeks, getting by mostly on his legs. In the first two games, Jones has the second-most rushing yards among quarterbacks, trailing only the aforementioned Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. He’s gotten slightly more accurate this season and is averaging more yards per attempt as well. He’s facing an Atlanta defense that’s been brutalized on the defensive side of the ball so far this season and the Giants are -3 home favorites in this one. Jones is coming at a really advantageous DraftKings price and I think we can consider him in cash games there. Running Backs Dalvin Cook FD 9500 DK 8400 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 22.65 DK - 24.81 It’s not a total surprise, but through two weeks Dalvin Cook is 4th overall in usage in 6th overall in total yards from scrimmage. And this included games with the Vikings trailing AND a brief exit in Week 2 with an injury. He is just the guy for Minnesota, and is priced as such. This game has a massive 55.5 total and a thin spread with the Seahawks -2 road favorites. I love Cook’s DraftKings price and think he is a pretty easy play over there considering the potential game script and how the Vikings use him in the offense. It’s a little closer on FanDuel, but still think you can pay all the up over there. Darrell Henderson Jr. FD 6300 DK 5900...
