Top Plays:

Justin Fields ($5700)– I am somewhat stunned at some of the ownership projections I am seeing out there at this cheap of a price. He is in a much better offense and his legs always give him a high floor. If the offense truly much improved under the new OC, then you benefit from his passing upside as well. His 29 pts last week was tied for 2nd highest of the week. Now he gets a bad Bills defense without Ed Oliver and there is no reason to believe Fields can’t continue his good play in a game where the Jets need to score to keep pace with Allen.

Josh Allen ($7100)- Among the elites at QB I am just going to keep taking Allen until he proves otherwise. He has become a cheat code as Allen has ranked 1st among DFS QBs in a week three times in the last five weeks, dating back to the end 2024. Going back to the last few seasons, Aaron Glenn’s defenses always give up more rushing yards than expected due to his man heavy, aggressive style on defense. That is recipe for more problems vs Allen. Last year vs Detroit, Allen ran the ball 11 times for 68 yards and 2 TDs. The Jets always give him a little trouble so that is the risk but he’s just too good to ignore if you pay up. 

Joe Burrow ($6600)- Just ignore last week’s dud vs the Browns. If you’ve followed me you know how often I have cited his miserable history vs that defense. Its irrelevant this week and could offer enough depressed ownership to be undervalued. Excluding games vs CLE, Burrow has finished as a top 3 DFS QB five times in his final 8 starts last season. I am not a believer in the Jags defense and the Bengals certainly can slice them up.  Last year the Jags ranked 29th in QB DK points allowed per game against one of the easier schedules in the NFL. Against the three best QBs they faced last season (Allen, Hurts, Goff), the Jags allowed 8.3, 9.1 and 17 DK points above their season average (excluding Jags games). To me you can either stack Burrow with Chase or fade both and load up on Chase Brown at RB.

Best Values:

Drake Maye ($5200)– This is a nice cheap contrarian play at QB to some of the heavy hitters with high ownership like Lamar, Allen, Burrow and Hurts. What if Miami’s pass defense is the worst in the NFL like they looked last week? The personnel is terrible so it might be. Even in a down week in week 1 he still produced a decent 15.8 DK points. We saw Daniel Jones run for 26 yards and Maye continues to be a factor in the run game.

Caleb Williams ($5400)- The Bears threw the ball 72% of the time in neutral game situations last week, 3rd highest in the NFL. Ben Johnson is going to continue to throw above expectations and between Caleb’s throw volume, his rushing upside (6-58-1TD in week 1) and likely game script of needing points to keep pace with the Lions and this is ripe for a potential upside spot.

Top Plays:

Christian McCaffrey ($7500) – CMC is likely to be very high owned but with Mac Jones at QB, he will get a ton of work. The Saints were one of the worst run defenses last year and allowed 146 yards last week to Arizona. CMC saw 32 touches last week and could exceed that in week 2. 

Chase Brown ($6800 DK) – Brown saw all the work in week 1. His receiving numbers are likely to increase as well and his overall usage is excellent. Really with Brown it comes down to how the Bengals play in the red zone and if he gets enough goal line looks for the TDs needed for his upside. Impossible to know but he should be in position. 

Jahmyr Gibbs ($7400)- Another high volume RB expected and at home with his explosiveness, his upside is massive. He caught 10 passes last week but against that speedy GB defense, he could only generate 31 yards. The Bears LBs are slow and a weakness so look for bigger plays out of the backfield.

 

Best Values:

(There are limited cheap options at RB this week so best to load up with the top guys and find values at other positions)

TreVeyon Henderson ($5500)- Henderson did not get the workload many had hoped for last week but the Patriots only ran the ball 18 total times all game.  Henderson did see 6 targets out of the backfield so his floor with receiving is decent. If he can just break one big run that could pay off his price.

D’Andre Swift ($5700)– For a guy who saw 22 touches last week, Swift is vastly underowned. Its clear that in this Bears new scheme, Swift will get many looks as Gibbs very light.

Top Plays:

Jaxon Smith-Njigba ($6000)- Just incredible week 1 metrics for JSN. He saw 13 targets for a crazy 59% target share in week 1. In addition, I’ve never seen anything like this number before for any WR in a week but JSN saw a mind blowing 90% air yard share. Obviously these numbers are not sustainable but just shows how valuable he is in this offense without a deep threat. He went 9-124 and this was on only 23 Darnold attempts.

Ja’mar Chase ($8100)- Not much to say here other than last week was always going to be a tough matchup vs Denzel Ward and the Browns. Vs this Jags secondary, Chase is a monster play.

Puka Nacua ($7600) – 11 straight games, dating back to last year, with at least 8 targets for Puka. His floor is just extraordinary at this point.

Brian Thomas Jr. ($6700)- The final stat line was not good for Thomas (1-11 receiving) but he saw 7 targets (24% share) and over 90 air yards. This Bengals secondary is awful and this could end up a shootout.

Value Plays:

Kayshon Boutte ($4200)- Very quietly Boutte has now posted stat lines of 7-5-95- 1 TD, 5-4-28, 7-7-117-1TD, 8-6-103 in his last four games dating back to last season. I am stunned his projected ownership is as low as it is considering his recent production, price and matchup. I’ll take this consistent level of production at this price for sure.

Elic Ayomanor ($3200)- Ayomanor is clearly a favorite of Cam Ward and saw seven targets (28% share) and a whopping 46% air yard share. He had a nice completion on the sideline that was incorrectly ruled as out of bounds which would have made his numbers look a little better. This is too cheap for a WR on the other end of a gun slinger arm like Ward.

Devonta Smith ($5600)- Smith pops on a bunch of positive regression models this week and he has a great history vs this KC team. He has gone for 8-6-99, 10-7-122, 9-7-100 and 5-4-69 in those games.

Ricky Pearsall ($5300)- No Kittle and Jennings is banged up. Pearsall had a nice week 1 game with 108 receiving yards. The Saints secondary is a mess and Pearsall has produced every time he gets his chance.

Top Plays:

Tyler Warren ($4500)- The rookie saw 9 targets, tied for the highest team target share among all TEs on this slate at 31%. He also saw an impressive 24% air yard share. I dont expect his usage to decrease too much going forward especially considering the WRs are in for a tough day vs the Denver CBs.

Trey McBride ($6000) – McBride is the clear upside option on this slate. A 31% target share is really solid and continues his high usage.  The ceiling is even bigger vs this terrible Panthers defense.

 

Best Values:

Brenton Strange ($3600)- Strange was one of my favorite values last week and led the Jags with 59 receiving yards on four receptions. He gets a Bengals defense that allowed the most fantasy points last year to TEs then followed that up in week 1 allowing a 36% target share to Harold Fannin and David Njoku.

Juwan Johnson ($3600)- Johnson finished with 11 targets last week, finishing with the 3rd highest target share and 2nd highest air yard share among this slate’s TE group. He also just missed a 20 yard game tying TE when he got blasted in the end zone. It makes sense that a young QB dumps it down to his TE often.
