It’s week 2 and we’re going to give you the plays to help you cash in your DFS contests. We’re focusing on the main Sunday slate, which includes the 1pm games and the 4 pm games. Now, let’s look at our picks for this week and good luck.
Quarterbacks:
There is a lot of great options at QB this week. You can pay up here, or pay down. With a lot of variety, you can go in so many directions with your lineups. Big Ben has huge upside this week and I think Cam and Stafford will be low owned plays.
Drew Brees
Ben Roethlisberger
Cam Newton
Deshaun Watson
Pat Mahomes
Matt Stafford
Jimmy Garoppolo
Case Keenum
Running Backs:
You have to love Kamara and Gurley a the top this week. James White could be in for a big week and I love Duke Johnson to be in the game a lot this week with Cleveland most likely playing from behind in New Orleans. Melvin Gordon is my favorite play of the week and McCaffrey should catch a lot of passes this week against a Falcons team that can’t cover backs out of the backfield.
Alvin Kamara
Todd Gurley
Melvin Gordon
Christian McCaffrey
James Conner
Adrian Peterson
Matt Breida
Isaiah Crowell
James White
Duke Johnson
Alfred Morris
*TJ Yeldon- late add. Will get the bulk of the touches with Fournette out. Patriots D gives up yardage to backs.
Wide Receivers:
I love both Steeler Receivers this week and feel you can roster them in the same lineup. Emmanuel Sanders is in line for another big week in week 2 and Mike Wallace will go for a 50+ yard TD this week.
Antonio Brown
Michael Thomas
DeAndre Hopkins
Tyreek Hill
Adam Thielen
Stefon Diggs
JuJu Smith-Schuster
Jarvis Landry
Emmanuel Sanders
Nelson Agholor
Kenny Stills
Demaryius Thomas
Pierre Garcon
Kenny Golladay
Mike Wallace
Tight Ends:
Great options at the top and some sleepers at lower price points. I usually pay down at tight end, but if I were to pay up, I would go with Reed. Love Njoku this week, again, Browns should be playing from behind for the majority of this game.
Rob Gronkowski
Zach Ertz
Travis Kelce
Jordan Reed
George Kittle
Jared Cook
Ben Watson
David Njoku
Ricky Seals-Jones
Defense:
Can always pay up here, but I always choose to find a cheap home team that can return good value. Love the Vikings this week if Rodgers doesn’t play and I think the Redskins have sneaky upside.
Rams
Chargers
Broncos
Saints
Redskins
Vikings
*Texans- late add. Titans offense looks bad and 2 of their offensive lineman are out. Love this defense today.
