Only a few weeks left to win money in Daily Fantasy. Let’s get to it!
QB
Tom Brady (FD $9300/DK $7800) – The best quarterback in the league against one of the worst defenses in the league. Even with Gronk out, Brady’s worth the cash this week.
Kirk Cousins (FD $7600/DK $5800) – Cousins’ rapport with Reed, Crowder and Garcon plus the Packers’ surprisingly atrocious pass defense seems very juicy this week. He’s my starter in my lineups and I’m stacking him with Jordan Reed a week after Delanie Walker dominated Green Bay.
Matthew Stafford (FD $7900/DK $6600) – Detroit’s had a week off to get healthy and are right in the middle of the playoff hunt. With Theo Riddick finally getting healthy and returning, Stafford looks to have all of his weapons at his disposal against a very exploitable Jacksonville defense.
RB
Le’Veon Bell (FD $9100/DK $8800) – Bell hit paydirt twice last week but even if he hadn’t, he still would have put up more than 15 points in PPR leagues. He’s a monster and worth the hefty price against the hapless Browns.
LeSean McCoy (FD $7500/DK $6900) – McCoy seems fully healthy and primed to succeed against the Bengals who rank 24th against the rush.
CJ Prosise (FD $4900/DK $4200) – With Christine Michael’s release earlier this week, Prosise joins Rawls as the Seahawks’ primary threats out of the backfield. As Josh noted in our podcast the Hawks are using Prosise similarly to how the Steelers use Bell. This may be the cheapest you’ll be able to get him going forward.
WR
Antonio Brown (FD $8900/DK $9500) – Does this need explanation?
Odell Beckham, Jr. (FD $9000/DK $8500) – Does this need explanation??
Steve Smith Sr. (FD $5500/DK $6000) – Dallas’ secondary is not that great and Smith just doesn’t seem to let up when he’s healthy. I think this is one of the best values in daily fantasy this week.
Jamison Crowder (FD $6300/DK $5400) – I’ve been high on Crowder all year and I think the Redskins will feed him steadily as they shoot out with the Packers.
TE
Jordan Reed (FD $6900/DK $5900) – See my explanations for Cousins and Crowder above.
Delanie Walker (FD $6400/DK $5700) – Walker destroyed the Packers last week and had great success against the Colts earlier this year. He’s as solid a tight end play as you can get.
Martellus Bennett (FD $5200/DK $3700) – With Gronkowski out, Bennett stands to benefit the most second only to maybe Julian Edelman. A Brady/Bennett stack seems great this week.
D/ST
The Chiefs (FD $5000/DK $3400) against the Bucs and the Cardinals (FD $5100/DK $3100) against the Vikings are my favorite defenses this week.
