QB
1) Marcus Mariota
IND@TEN
$6100
Mariotta managed to salvage what looked to be a horrible day. When he’s on, with his running ability, he should be able to rack up points. Especially against a defense missing half their secondary.
2) Nick Foles
PIT@STL
$5200
Quaterbacks facing the Steelers in Draftkings are making owners very happy. Pittsburgh gets LeVeon Bell back and should be able to score at will. Expect 300+ yards and 2 TDs trying to keep up, and that’s a steal.
3) Blake Bortles
JAX@NE
$5100
Can you say extreme garbage time?
RB
1) Jonathan Stewart
NO@CAR
$4900
Deal of the week! Playing New Orleans Horrific defense at home. Not much of a PPR back, but his rushing stats should more than make up for it.
2) Frank Gore
IND@TEN
$4500
Had two of the worst possible match ups playing maybe the two best run defenses to start the season. After their 0-2 start, look for Indy to use their steeds to get a win. Seems like a steal at this price.
3) Duke Johnson Jr.
OAK@CLE
$3400
Sooner than later they’ll figure out that Johnson is the much better player than Crowell. Hoping they learned from Matt Jones over Alfred Morris, I have a feeling Johnson is in for a breakout against Oakland.
WR
1) Brandon Marshall
PHI@NYJ
$6200
Billy Davis’ssss philosophy seems to be to make his cornerbacks look really bad. It doesn’t seem like he’s learning, so it’s obvious Marshall will light up the Eagles.
2) Allen Robinson
JAX@NE
$5200
Can you say extreme garbage time?
3) Phillip Dorsett
IND@TEN
$3300
With T.Y hurting and Andre sucking, Dorsett picked up 6 targets on Monday night. Could be a big time hit or a big time miss. I’ll take my chances at that price.
TE
1) Kyle Rudolph
SD@MIN
$3300
Really big red zone threat who had seven targets last week. He’s due for a huge game.
2) Jared Cook
PIT@STL
$2800
Pittsburgh really isn’t good at covering Tight Ends. Pittsburgh probably won’t be good at covering Giant Beetlejuice on Sunday.
3) Gavin Escobar
ATL@DAL
$2600
Could be a nice steal with Jason Witten hurting all over. If Romo’s massages don’t heal Witten by Sunday, Escobar could be a favorite target for pocket scared Weeden.
DEF
1) Seahawks
CHI@SEA
$3400
Had to put them here. $3400 for an 0-2 pissed off Seattle Defense against … Jimmy Clausen????? Good Lord!
2) Falcons
ATL@DAL
$2900
Playing against Brandon Weeden.
3) Vikings
SD@MIN
$2800
Philip Rivers is turning the ball over a lot this season. That’s all.
