Week 3 is here and we’re going to give you the plays to help you cash in your DFS contests. As always, the focus is on the main Sunday slate. This includes the 1pm games and the 4 pm games. Let’s take a look at our picks for this week and good luck.
Quarterbacks:
I love the flexibility at the quarterback position this week. This flexibility allows you to develop so many different types of roster constructions. I personally like the mid-range QBs this week. Cam Newton and Deshaun Watson are my two favorite plays at QB. I also like Luck this week and my favorite cheap play is Tannehill.
Cam Newton
Pat Mahomes
Drew Brees
Jimmy Garoppolo
Deshaun Watson
Andrew Luck
Joe Flacco
Ryan Tannehill
Running Backs
I’m paying up this week at the running back position. I think both Kamara and Zeke will have huge weeks. The matchups are favorable for both backs. Atlanta can’t cover backs out of the backfield (just look at McCaffrey in week 2) and the Seahawks defense is giving up 116 yards rushing per game. Some of my other favorite plays are: Hunt, Drake, and Gio Bernard. My favorite cheap play is Corey Clement.
Alvin Kamara
Ezekiel Elliot
Jordan Howard
Kareem Hunt
Giovani Bernard
Latavius Murray
Kenyan Drake
Matt Breida
Lamar Miller
Marshawn Lynch
Dion Lewis
Austin Ekeler
Corey Clement
Wide Receivers:
I really like the mid-range to cheaper options at WR this week. Paying up isn’t a bad thing this week, but I would rather have the studs in my backfield. The WRs that I’m targeting this week are: Amari Cooper, Agholor, Fuller, Crabtree, and Funchess. Cooper Kupp is my favorite cheap play this week.
Michael Thomas
Tyreek Hill
DeAndre Hopkins
Julio Jones
Brandin Cooks
T.Y. Hilton
Amari Cooper
Nelson Agholor
Will Fuller
Keelan Cole
Michael Crabtree
Devin Funchess
Cooper Kupp
Tyler Boyd
*Calvin Ridley- Late add. Getting more involved in the offense and the matchup is outstanding.
Tight Ends:
As always, I’m paying down here. I’m targeting Ian Thomas, I like his matchup and his cost. This will be the second week Thomas will get full time snaps in the Carolina offense and I think Newton will give him more looks. If I were to pay up, I would target George Kittle.
Zach Ertz
Travis Kelce
Jordan Reed
George Kittle
Kyle Rudolph
Trey Burton
Ian Thomas
Virgil Green
*Dallas Goedert- Late add. Could factor into the Eagles passing game with all the injuries on offense.
*Evan Engram- Late add. Should have had him on the list from the beginning. Great matchup.
Defense:
The Vikings have a ++ matchup against a terrible Bills offense, but it will cost you. My favorite cheap play is the Cowboys and my low owned play is the Panthers.
Vikings
Rams
Jaguars
Texans
Panthers
Falcons
Cowboys
