FantasyDraft - DFS Quarterback Pick

Aaron Rodgers - at DAL ($15,300)

Rodgers has found quite a bit of success this season, as he has thrown for at least 300 yards in three of four starts. He has also thrown for multiple touchdowns in three of four games. He gets an elite matchup against the Cowboys, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NFL against quarterbacks. Rodgers could be without his best two running backs, forcing Green Bay to throw the ball more this week. The Packers have an implied total of 24.8 points, and Rodgers is an elite option in all leagues who is well worth the high salary.

 

FantasyDraft - DFS Running Back Picks

Le'Veon Bell - vs JAX ($18,000)

The Jaguars have been a dominant defense this season, but they have not been able to stop the run. They are currently allowing 165.5 rushing yards per game and 5.7 rushing yards per attempt, which both rank last in the NFL. They have also allowed five rushing touchdowns this season. Bell was the clear focal point of the Steelers offense in a good matchup last week, and that will be the case again this week. Pittsburgh is a sizable -8.5 point favorite, and Bell will spend the majority of the second half running out the clock.

Eddie Lacy - at LAR ($6,600)

This is an awful situation to predict, but if you predict correctly, it could result in plenty of value. Lacy was active last week, while Rawls was inactive. That leads me to believe Lacy could get the first shot at carries this week. Last week, he found success with 11 carries for 52 yards against an average Colts defense. This week, he'll face off against the Rams, who are allowing over 150 rushing yards per game. They are also allowing 4.9 rushing yards per attempt this season. He'll likely be in a timeshare, but he has a shot at reaching the end zone and is a player to take a chance on for the low price tag.

 

FantasyDraft - DFS Wide Receiver Picks

Dez Bryant - vs GB ($12,300)

Bryant has had an inefficient start to the season, but he is still averaging 10 targets per game. He has had arguably the most difficult wide receiver schedule to start the season, and he will get a good matchup against Kevin King this week. Bryant is a player that can take advantage of young cornerbacks, and he should be heavily targeted in his first great matchup of the season. He can be considered in all leagues.

DeVante Parker - vs TEN ($12,300)

The Titans have featured one of the worst passing defenses in the NFL early this season. They are allowing nearly 275 passing yards per game this season. They have also allowed 11 passing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the most in the NFL. Parker has been a huge part of the Dolphins offense, as he is averaging a 6/76.7/0.3 line on nine targets per game. He comes with a reasonable price tag, and Parker can be used in all leagues.

 

FantasyDraft - DFS Tight End Pick

Austin Seferian-Jenkins - at CLE ($7,000)

Cleveland's inability to stop the tight end has been alarming this season. Replacement level tight ends, including Jesse James, Tyler Kroft, and Benjamin Watson, have all dominated Cleveland this season. Seferian-Jenkins has been impressive in each of his two games this season, and he has certified his role in the New York offense. He still comes with a low price tag, and he's a great salary relief option on this slate.

 

FantasyDraft - DFS Defense Pick

Baltimore Ravens D/ST - at OAK ($5,700)

The Ravens defense has looked outstanding this season, as they are averaging 2.3 sacks and 2.8 turnovers per game this season. They are also allowing only 20 points per game this season. This week, they get a matchup against the Oakland Raiders, who will be without Derek Carr. Surprisingly, Oakland is a favorite in this game, which could keep the ownership low on the Raiders. They make a great option at defense this week.
