One of my favorite aspects of fantasy football has become playing on DraftKings. Every week is like a new puzzle to figure out.

This week 60% of my recommendations hit the 2.5x value we look for in cash game lineups. This time the quarterback group led the way tied at a 100% success rate. Meanwhile, the tight end group brought up the rear tied at a 20% success rate. Personally, I was not able to make a profit. We\u2019ll look to get it going even better with the picks and get back into the profits in the Week 3 DraftKings plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Week 2 \u2013 $260 \u2192 $152 <\/span><b>($108 LOSS)<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Year Total \u2013 $487 \u2192 $198 <\/span><b>($289 LOSS)<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Quarterbacks<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Kirk Cousins (MIN) \u2013 $6,900 v LAC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After two weeks of play, Kirk Cousins is the OVERALL QB1 on the season. That\u2019s exactly how fantasy managers drew it up a few weeks ago. He\u2019s currently averaging 27.5 DraftKings points per game. It helps that the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a> are the most pass-happy team in the NFL so far passing at a 67% rate in context-neutral situations. The next closest team is at 61% and only three teams (counting the Vikings) are even at 60%. This week should be more of the same as Cousins has a dream matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chargers\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a>. They have allowed the second-most DraftKings points to quarterbacks so far this year. This game also has the best game environment, by far, and possibly one of the best we\u2019ve seen all year. The combined total is 53.5 points and the Vikings have an implied team total of 27.5 points. This game is also being played in a dome as well, a boost to passing offenses. Add it all up and Cousins looks like one of the best Week 3 DraftKings plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NFL neutral pass rates pending MNF.<\/p>\n<p>No Steelers yet because of sample size. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GRPRhf8aRD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/GRPRhf8aRD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hayden Winks (@HaydenWinks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HaydenWinks\/status\/1703798047392858433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 18, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Andy Dalton (CAR) \u2013 $4,900 @ SEA<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a case of a player being priced as a backup when the pricing came out but stepping into a starting role because of injury. Rookie Bryce Young is dealing with an ankle issue and is very likely to miss this week\u2019s game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/seahawks\/\" target=\"_self\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a>. The Seahawks are not a good defense, especially in the secondary. They have allowed the eighth-most DraftKings points to quarterbacks so far this year. Seattle also has a good offense so Dalton and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Panthers<\/a> will need to put up points to keep up. The Panthers are currently 6.5-point underdogs so they\u2019ll be throwing plenty in this one. Ultimately, Dalton is priced cheaper than some quarterbacks that won\u2019t even be playing so he makes for a solid option if you\u2019re looking to save some salary at the quarterback position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Others to Consider: Russell Wilson<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DEN) \u2013 $5,900 @ MIA, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Geno Smith<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (SEA) \u2013 $5,700 v CAR, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Gardner Minshew<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (IND) \u2013 $5,100 @ BAL<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Backs<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Tony Pollard (DAL) \u2013 $8,000 @ ARI<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn\u2019t too long ago that many fantasy managers were questioning whether Tony Pollard could handle a full workload. I think we can put those worries to bed after he saw 32 touches last week. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cowboys\/\" target=\"_self\">Dallas Cowboys<\/a> have given Pollard truly insane usage in the first two weeks. They have the best expected fantasy points for their running backs through two weeks, and it\u2019s not even close. Pollard is the RB4 on the season to this point and is averaging 21.1 DraftKings points per game. The matchup is a nice one as well. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/cardinals\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Cardinals<\/a> are not a good team and defense at all and the Cowboys are massive, 12.5-point favorites in this one. They also have one of the highest implied team totals at 27.5 points. That\u2019s a beautiful setup for Pollard to keep the good times rolling. The matchup plus the elite usage make him one of the best Week 3 DraftKings plays.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NFL team RB fantasy usage through 2 weeks <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OBz2rO5ml8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/OBz2rO5ml8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Hayden Winks (@HaydenWinks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HaydenWinks\/status\/1704172281696768241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Jerome Ford (CLE) \u2013 $4,800 v TEN<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s another case of a player being priced as a backup but is now handling a starter\u2019s workload. Unfortunately, Nick Chubb went down with a gruesome knee injury on Monday Night Football so now Jerome Ford is the next man up. He looked good in relief of Chubb last week but this week will be a much tougher test against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>. The Titans have become known as one of the stingiest run defenses in the NFL dating back to last year and being more of a pass funnel. Luckily Ford should be involved in the passing game a bit as well. Ultimately, if Ford is going to get 15+ touches, it doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s the 1985 Bears defense, the $4,800 price tag is simply far too cheap for this type of volume in a good, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/browns\/\" target=\"_self\">Cleveland Browns<\/a>&#8216; rushing offense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Others to Consider: Travis Etienne<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (JAX) \u2013 $6,900 v HOU, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Jahmyr Gibbs<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (DET) &#8211; $6,600 v ATL, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Joshua Kelley<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (LAC) \u2013 $5,400 @ MIN, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Kenneth Walker III<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (SEA) \u2013 $6,200 v CAR, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Zack Moss<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (IND) \u2013 $5,500 @ BAL<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receivers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Justin Jefferson (MIN) \u2013 $9,300 v LAC<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any week is a good week to play Justin Jefferson. This week just feels extra special. As previously mentioned, this game environment and the matchup are about as good as it gets. The game is being played in a dome, with a close spread, and the highest combined total on the entire slate. It\u2019s also being played in a dome and the Vikings are the pass-happiest team in the NFL. On top of it, Jefferson is averaging 28 DraftKings points per game. The crazy part is he is doing the despite not having scored a touchdown so far. Jefferson has caught 20 of his 25 targets for 309 yards in his first two games. He\u2019s on a historical pace and that should only continue in this one. Add it all up and he looks like one of the best Week 3 DraftKings plays at any position even at the elevated price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Look away Bears fans \ud83d\ude2c<\/p>\n<p>Justin Jefferson is unreal <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Xk4pYjZoeB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Xk4pYjZoeB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1702515414696169818?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 15, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Tank Dell (HOU) \u2013 $3,600 @ JAX<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tank Dell was a divisive prospect coming into this year\u2019s NFL Draft. Many analysts were completely out due to his small stature while others thought he was an explosive athlete and playmaker with the ball in his hands. It\u2019s been a mixed bag so far in two weeks but last week Dell was awesome. He caught seven of his ten targets for 72 yards and a score on his way to 20.2 DraftKings points. Dell was one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/19\/fantasy-football-waiver-wire-targets-week-2\/\" target=\"_self\">most popular waiver wire grabs<\/a> this week and DraftKings must not have gotten the message as they kept his price tag super cheap. It will be interesting to see if his spikes in route participation and target share from last week can hold moving forward, but at $3,600 it\u2019s worth a shot to find out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Others to Consider: Amari Cooper<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CLE) \u2013 $5,700 v TEN, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Keenan Allen<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (LAC) \u2013\u00a0 $7,600 @ MIN, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Marquise Brown<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (ARI) \u2013 $4,900 v DAL, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Mike Williams<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (LAC) \u2013 $6,000 @ MIN, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Nico Collins<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (HOU) \u2013 $5,300 @ JAX, <\/span><\/i><b><i>Adam Thielen <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(CAR) \u2013 $3,900 @ SEA<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight Ends<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>Mark Andrews (BAL) \u2013 $6,000 v IND<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After missing Week 1 due to injury, Mark Andrews came back in Week 2 and looked no worse for wear. He caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown on his way to 15.5 DraftKings points. The eight targets were very encouraging to see in his first game back from injury. He\u2019s the clear-cut alpha target for Lamar Jackson in this offense, just as he has been for years now. It should be more of the same against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/colts\/\" target=\"_self\">Indianapolis Colts<\/a> this week. The Colts aren\u2019t a bad defense but not one to avoid either and they are weaker against the pass than the run. They have also been playing at a faster pace on offense which helps push both offenses. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_self\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> also have a nice 26.5-point implied team total as well. Andrews, like Travis Kelce, has the ability to be a true slate-changer at a bad position. Combine that with this set up and that makes him one of the best Week 3 DraftKings plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kyle Pitts (ATL) \u2013 $3,900 @ DET<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m not sure there is anyone who\u2019s more \u201cdown bad\u201d than Kyle Pitts and his fantasy managers. The risk is that the usage doesn\u2019t continue but at this price point, it\u2019s worth the chance to find out. This is the first time he\u2019s been under $4,000 in a while, not that it\u2019s not deserved. On the season Pitts is only averaging five DraftKings points per game and scored less than seven in both. He\u2019s only caught four passes for 59 yards on eight targets through those two games. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a> have continued to be one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL. This week that (hopefully) will change a bit against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/lions\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Lions<\/a>. The Lions are a very good offense so the Falcons will need to throw more to keep up. They are also currently three-point underdogs in a game with a nice 46.5-point combined total. This one is also being played in a dome and the Lions defense has allowed the third-most DraftKings points to tight ends so far. If Pitts doesn\u2019t have at least a solid game in this one, the panic meter is going to hit its max.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DFS Tidbit<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Lions?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#Lions<\/a> gave up 131 receiving yards at the TE position.

This forces their opponent to throw it more often which can help lead to extra sacks and turnovers and hopefully a touchdown. Another aspect to target is turnover and sack-prone quarterbacks.
