DFS Quarterbacks

We have a loaded showdown slate on our hands with two of the most exciting quarterbacks in the game. MVP candidate Russell Wilson continues his hot 2020 campaign as he takes on an Arizona defense that is allowing opponents to throw for 235.2 passing yards per game. Wilson has been extremely consistent from a fantasy perspective as he has gone for 24+ points in all five games that he has played this season and has thrown for 1,502 yards and 19 touchdowns while only throwing three interceptions. He has found success against Arizona throughout his career as he has accumulated a QB rating of 96.5 in 16 career appearances. He is averaging 212 yards per game against them and has a tremendous touchdown to interception ratio (24 touchdowns, 5 interceptions) which is extremely impressive.

On the other side of this game stands Kyler Murray who just like Wilson has gotten off to a hot start for his 2020 season. Murray is averaging 28.1 DK points per game throughout the first six weeks of the season and provides the kind of upside to lineups that help takes down tournaments. Murray has thrown for over 1,400 yards through six games and while he has thrown for six interceptions, he also has 10 touchdown tosses. The part of his game that really stands out is his rushing ability as Murray is averaging over 60 yards per game on the ground and has found the end zone six times on the ground. Murray has faced the Seahawks only twice in his career and while his numbers were pretty average (359 passing yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception), he looks to have a much better supporting cast this season. The Seahawks have allowed opponents to throw for 371 yards per game and are allowing opposing teams to score 25 points per game so Kyler could be in a prime spot to succeed.

Analysis: Both quarterbacks look to be in great spots and are both viable in cash games and tournaments. Getting them into the same lineup might be tough but could pay off if they both have big nights.

 

DFS Running Backs

With the focus going on the quarterbacks and receivers in this game,  the running backs could make for real good tournament targets from a roster construction standpoint. The Cardinals have really committed to pounding the ball with Kenyan Drake over the last two games as he has had 38 carries during that two-game stretch which makes it much easier to put stock into rostering him this week. Drake has seemed like a fantasy disappointment, especially in season-long leagues, but has shown flashes of upside in this offense so he should not be completely ignored. The Seahawks run defense has been solid this year as they are only allowing opposing running backs to rush for 100 yards per game which ranks in the top 10 in the league. Backing up Drake is Chase Edmonds who is averaging 10 DK points per game and is involved in the passing game (14 targets over the last three games played). Edmonds does not see a large volume from a carry standpoint but could serve as a good value option, especially if he is targeted several times in the passing game.

The Seahawks have really relied on Chris Carson to be the bell-cow back and barring any injuries, he has really stepped it up and has taken on the larger workload. Carson is averaging 20 DK points per game and part of his success has been him being more involved in the passing game. Carson has seen 23 total targets on the season and has hauled in three receiving touchdowns in his first five games played. With so much attention going to Wilson and his receivers, Carson gets overlooked by defenses and daily fantasy owners. The Cardinals are allowing opposing backs to rush for 119.7 yards per game which ranks in the bottom half of the league. By knowing this data, it makes it only more enticing to consider Carson for your fantasy lineups as a way to get different in tournaments. Backing up Carson is NFL veteran Carlos Hyde. Hyde has been banged up and hasn't seen any action since week 3 but looks to be healthy and has obtained the back-up running back spot yet again. While he doesn't get much volume, he could be used as a large tournament punt that opens up salary to spend up for other options.

Analysis: Carson looks to be the safest play from all running back plays on this slate. He has the best matchup and offers the best floor and ceiling at the position. Drake doesn't have quite the floor but is a viable tournament option while both Hyde and Edmonds deserve looks in large tournament formats.

 

DFS Wide Receivers

This showdown features some of the best receivers in the game and it might be tough to squeeze a few of them into your lineups. For the Seahawks, they are led by the tandem of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett who both carry an individual target share above 20%. Lockett has more catches on the season (30) but Metcalf has more touchdown receptions (5) but both look to be great plays on this slate. Metcalf has seen 17 total targets over the last two games while Lockett has only seen nine so with the recent attention going to Metcalf, he looks to be the stronger play of the two options. If needing a value receiving play from the Seahawks, David Moore is certainly viable. He has gotten seven targets over his last two games and while he is more of a tournament play, his salary really opens things up from a roster construction standpoint.

From the Cardinals, their offense begins with DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins is one of the top receiving options in the entire league and is producing with Murray as his quarterback. Hopkins is averaging 100 receiving yards per game and while he has only hauled in two touchdown receptions on the season, he carries a 25% target share and is seeing over 10 targets per game. The volume that Hopkins sees is tremendous which makes him an ideal candidate for all formats. Outside of Hopkins, Murray has the luxury of throwing to other receivers like a future Hall of Famer in Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk who is a big play waiting to happen on every snap. Both of those receivers have above a 10% target share and while their floors are lower based on volume, they can bring upside to your lineups if they are able to haul in a touchdown.

Analysis: Hopkins, Lockett, and Metcalf are the primary targets to focus on, and getting at least one of these options in your cash builds is a must. Kirk, Fitzgerald, and Moore are all cheaper options that could be good pivots for tournament builds.

 

DFS Tight Ends

With all of the other great players at other positions, the tight end spot on this showdown isn't one to heavily focus on.  Out of all of the viable tight ends on the slate, only Greg Olsen carries above a 10% target share and leads all tight ends with 15 total catches on the season. Behind Olsen on the Seahawks depth chart sits Will Dissly who has the second most catches of all of the Seattle tight ends (8). On the other side of this game, the Cardinals use Dan Arnold as their main receiving tight-end option but even then, he has only had nine total catches on the year which isn't ideal.

Analysis: Greg Olsen is the strongest tight end play of the group but with that being said, these tight ends only look to be tournament plays since they have a very low floor from a fantasy scoring perspective. It is best to look elsewhere for cash game plays while considering this position to differentiate in large tournaments.

 

DFS Defense/Special Teams

While defenses can be good plays on showdown slates, this seems to be one where you can throw both defensive options out of the window. The point total has been set for 55 points in this game and both offenses have been playing at very high levels so it doesn't seem like there will be much upside to rostering either defense. The kickers are interesting on showdown slates since they can be nice tournament options but when looking at the offenses, they very rarely see great kicking opportunities outside of extra-point attempts. Myers has only seen two field-goal attempts in the first five weeks of the season while Gonzalez has had nine total attempts on the year.

Analysis: Fading both defenses on this slate could be the right decision. If looking to get different in tournaments, utilizing a kicker like Gonzalez would be one way to make your lineups contrarian.

 

Good luck, RotoBallers, and remember to mix it up and don't be afraid to be different in these large field GPPs!
