Play Draft Kings in Week 9. Use these picks, use your own, just don’t get all mad when your picks bust. Create your team here.
QB
1) Peyton Manning
DEN@IND
$6300
Manning finally looked good last Sunday. This week he goes home, where he should be a little more motivated. He should have a little more fire in his balls.
2) Tyrod Taylor
MIA@BUF
$5300
Taylor was lighting up fantasy leagues before missing the last 3 games with a knee sprain. Always love the added benefit of the run, which should make this price a steal.
3) Kirk Cousins
WAS@NE
$5100
Garbage points should be Cousins goal, because they have no shot.
RB
1) DeMarco Murray
PHI@DAL
$6400
Another player with a little extra motivation. Murray heads home to where he should’ve stayed. Should dominate touches with Mathews hurting.
2) DeAngelo Williams
OAK@PIT
$5500
This has to be the steal of the week. When Williams has filled in for Bell, he’s been a steed. With the added ability to catch the ball, he could be the top RB of the week
3) Darren McFadden
PHI@DAL
$4300
Volume alone puts McFadden on the radar. Should be seeing a ton of check downs with Cassell at QB.
WR
1) Alshon Jeffery
CHI@SD
$6700
ay Cutler only has eyes for Alshon, as evidenced by his 15 targets last week. No Forte means Alshon will be force fed.
2) DeSean Jackson
WAS@NE
$5700
Check his status, but it looks like Cousins gets his favorite target back just in time for Garbage Points.
3) Brandon LaFell
WAS@NE
$3200
Lafell was a nice weapon for Brady last season, and it’s time to get him back on track.
TE
1) Antonio Gates
CHI@SD
$4700
No more Keenan Allen, which should mean way more Gates. Antonio will get his.
2) Delanie Walker
TEN@NO
$4200
Should have Mariotta back and gets New Orleans this week. Again, no Kendall Wright, means Walker should get force fed.
3) Ben Watson
TEN@NO
$4000
Drew Brees turned Ben Watson into Jimmy Graham and Seattle turned Jimmy Graham into Ben Watson.
D
1) Falcons
TEN@NO
$3400
Blaine Gabbert is still in the NFL? And Blaine Gabbert is starting a game in the NFL? Give me the defense that’s playing against Blaine Gabbert.
2) Broncos
DEN@IND
$3000
Not sure why Denver is only $3000 after shutting down Aaron Rodgers the way they did. Now they get Luck and his turnovers. Steal.
3) Eagles
PHI@DAL
$2700
Matt Cassell is a chud.
