Daily Fantasy Football Picks

Sunday, October 3rd on Draftkings

Fantasy football for week 4. The week started off with a Covid19 outbreak canceling the Titans/Steelers matchup, thus taking out fantasy stars Derrick Henry and James Connor. We do still have some big dogs at RB in Kamara, Cook, and Elliott.

If you are looking for a stack to play I have 2 that I'm eyeballing. I'm weighing heavily on a Texans stack at QB and 2 WRs, and I'm looking at a Bengals stack at QB, RB, and WR.

Let's look at Q B:

My Play:

Deshaun Watson ($6500 DK) Vs. MIN

Look for Watson to get his mojo back against a Vikings team that has given up an average of 440 yds/game to opposing teams. With Watson’s dual-threat ability, I expect a TD in each category. Searching for a viable RB you can look to see Watson take it upon himself to get the ball moving on the ground.

Value PLAY:

Joe Burrow ($6300 DK) vs. JAX

Okay, the mighty rookie is going to have an off week, it’s just not going to be this one. He faces a JAX D that is in turmoil and has surrendered 6tds over the last 2 weeks to QBs less dangerous than Joe Cool. It's Light it up time.

Craps play:

Gardner Minshew ($5900 DK) vs. BUF

Alright if you really want to load up Backs and receivers, and looking for low owned Boom, then a Minshew play may not be a bad move. He has been extremely.

Cash: Goff ($6700), Wilson ($7800)

The Running Backs:

My plays:

Delvin Cook ($7600 DK) vs. HOU

Yes, cook put up mighty numbers last week and maybe a little tired, but HOU dismal run D is just too hard not to attack. And with early-season passing struggles look for MIN to get the running game going early.

Joe Mixon ($5800 DK) vs. Jax

Look for Mixon to finally have a stellar game against a Jax team that is just as bad his Bengals. Being a double option back that he is, I'm looking for a big load coming from both running and receiving in this game.

Best Bets:

Alvin Kamara(8,000 DK) vs. DET

Kamara will most likely be relied on heavy with WR Thomas out again. Look for double-digit catches and 12-15 rushes. Against a mid-level Detroit D, that should count for a big game fantasy-wise.

Ezekial Elliott ($7800 DK) vs. CLE

Elliott will look to bounce back after a poor week 3 against a Browns D that allowed a Rookie to average 5.4ypc against them last week.

Notables: Drake ($6,000), Robinson (6,500),

The cream of the crop at WR:

My plays:

DK Metcalf ($6800 DK) vs. MIA

Metcalf is a monster, reminds me of Megatron, if he didn’t have to share balls with Lockett, who knows where his peak point would be. But either way this week he again faces a poor pass D, that along with a SEA shaky RB rotation, look for them to air it out once more.

Will Fuller V ($5900 DK) and Brandon Cooks ($4500) vs. MIN

Looking for Fuller to have one of those dynamic games where he does nothing but finds the end zone. I expect this game to be a high yardage game, so if the goaline happens to be clear he’s getting in. I like a stack with him, Watson, and Cooks ($4500)

Value play: Sanders ($4800), Watson ($3400), Higgins ($4500),

Top TE Targets

My play:

Mark Andrews ($6000) vs. Was

Look for Andrews to get himself back on track against a WAS D that Ranks 29th against opposing TEs this season. Not to mention Jackson itching to get his passing numbers back up after only throwing for 98yds in a humbling loss against the Champs.

Value play: Gronkowski ($3600), Allie-Cox ($3900)

Defense and Special Teams

My Play:

Buccaneers ($3400) vs. LAC

Hidden behind the all the Tom Brady Hooplah, is a stellar D. The rugged Bucs have tallied 15pts and 11 pts in this category over there 2 games. This week they are up against a stellar Rookie QB that you'd think will eventually show his youth. Will this be the week!!

Cash D:

Ravens ($4000)

Playing a b-squad WAS offense and wanting to remove the stink of last week’s debacle against the Chiefs, Look for Bal to show no mercy in there attack.
