Friday Late Night Edition
My
Weekly DFS Play
For those that may be interested, here’s
one of my favorite line-ups for Sunday (Week 3) on DraftKings;
QB-Philip
Rivers ($6,400): At this price, I believe Rivers is a great value and I happen
to like his week 3 matchup very much as well. The Chiefs defense allows the 6th
most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and with their offense putting up
points on the Chargers 20th ranked defense that sits well with me. I expect to
see Rivers slinging it all over the yard, just trying to keep up with Alex
Smith the Sunshine Band.
RB-Lamar
Miller ($5,000): Yes, that’s right Miller. Bill O’Brien and the Texans are
going to have to shorten this game as much as possible, if they stand a chance
to keep it competitive. Miller, the No.19 (PPR) fantasy running back has yet to
exceed 20 carries in a game this season (his high is 18), but I expect he’s got
a good shot at doing just that this Sunday against a Patriots defense that
allows the most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Miller Gold has a
nice ring, don’t you think?
RB-Jonathan
Stewart ($4,700): Now here’s the bargain of the week, Stewart for $4,700 at the
Saints. Through two weeks Stewart has carried the rock 33 times for 105 yards,
not a great average. He’ll get a great shot at redemption and much better
numbers this Sunday against a Saints defense that is allowing 4.4 yards per
carry. The Saints defense has also allowed the 4th most fantasy points (27.00)
to opposing running backs, which means both Panthers backs should be
productive.
WR-Keenan
Allen ($7,200): This is the stack play with Keenan and Rivers, but could you
blame me? His price is in line, especially following a week 2 with 10 targets
for 9 receptions and 100 yards receiving. Allen is consistent and
unquestionably Rivers favorite. You should be able to count on another 8-10
targets on Sunday against a Chiefs secondary that allows the 5th most fantasy
points to opposing wide receivers
WR-Jermaine
Kearse ($4,600): Another bargain, with a little risk. But at his price it’s hard
to pass on Kearse. Through two games he’s been the most reliable and productive
receiver on the field for the Jets. I expect to see his number continue to be
called and against a shaky Dolphins secondary he should have lots of success.
WR-Adam
Thielen ($5,700): There’s likely no Sam Bradford this Sunday, he’s still dealing
with a knee issue. As was the case last week, in the absence of Bradford, backup
Case Keenum got the start. Keenum will likely start again and for Thielen
owners that’s not all bad. Last week Thielen led the team in receptions (5),
but for only 44 yards. Keenum started slow, but didn’t look all bad giving me
the belief he may be serviceable this week and Thielen might be playable. At
his price and going up against a Buccaneers secondary that allowed over 200
yards to wide receivers last week, you have to take a shot here with Thielen.
TE-Travis
Kelce ($6,000): In two games Kelce has been greatly involved in the Chiefs
passing game with 17 targets producing a line of 13/143/1. He’s the No.2 (PPR)
fantasy tight end and coming off a strong week 2 performance. The way Andy Reid
has been utilizing his big tight end through two weeks, the Chargers defense is
going to have a tough time handling. And now Kelce has a nice compliment of
weapons around him on the field to draw attention away, he should have another
busy afternoon on Sunday
Flex-Ty
Montgomery ($6,900): With bargain runners I have slotted, I
was able to go a little higher with my flex and what a deal! Montgomery has
seen plenty of work through two weeks and even if they dial it back a bit,
he’ll still see plenty of touches this Sunday against the Bengals. Montgomery
is No.4 (PPR) fantasy running back averaging 19.5 touches per game. Expect his
workload to remain in line this week with the prospect of Randall Cobb out and
Jordy Nelson possibly being slowed with a bruised quad.
D/ST-Steelers
($3,400):
Playing by the numbers here. Steelers are well priced and the Bears offense has
not played well. The Bears O-line has allowed only 5 sacks, but they have
allowed the quarterback to take a ton of hits (18) in two games. And what do
the Steelers do well; 9 sacks (ranked 3rd) and hit the quarterback 16 times
this season (tied for 2nd most).
That’s My Take.
