Whether you mass multi-enter contest or play a single lineup, here are some players to get exposure to in your daily fantasy football lineups this week.

This week, he and the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/saints\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> travel to L.A., where they\u2019ll take on the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/rams\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Los Angeles Rams<\/a>. The spread on Rams-Saints, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vegasinsider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegasinsider.com<\/a> is (O\/U 53) and (Rams -3). The game is tied for the highest O\/U on the slate, so we want to get some exposure. Kamara gives us prime exposure. The Rams can be had by good pass-catching backs. Case and point: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/McCaCh01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian McCaffrey<\/a><\/strong> put up 45.9 DK points on them in week one. Look for Kamara to see plenty of work, in both the run-game and pass-game. He makes for a solid DFS core play week two.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/J\/JacoJo01.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Jacobs<\/a> $4,700<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Jacobs saw 23 carries in week one. He rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Jacobs took the majority of snaps and carries at running back for the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/raiders\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oakland Raiders<\/a>. For someone with so much talent and bell-cow type usage, Jacobs&#8217; $4,700 price tag on DK is too good to pass up. The <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>-Raiders game is tied with the Rams-Saints game for the highest Vegas game-total on the slate. Vegas has the line set at (O\/U 53) with the (Chiefs -8). The Chiefs defense allowed the second-most DK points to running backs last year. Playing Jacobs gives us exposure to this game and provides leverage against <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MahoPa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/W\/WatkSa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sammy Watkins<\/a><\/strong> in GPPs, or you can game-stack the three of them.

These are players that multi-lineup DFS players should get some exposure to. They all project as high-upside plays. You can also use some of them to fill in your lineup after your core is established. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/C\/CookBr00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandin Cooks<\/a> $6,300<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cooks had a poor stat line in Week One, only catching two of six passes for 39 yards. However, we can leverage his bad performance and play him this week with lower expected ownership. Cooks will face his former team the Saints at home. This game has the highest Vegas total on the slate. Playing Cooks gives us exposure to the game and leverage against <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=WoodRo02,WoodRo21,WoodRo00&amp;search=Robert+Woods&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robert Woods<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/K\/KuppCo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cooper Kupp<\/a><\/strong>, who both outperformed Cooks last week and will probably see higher ownership. Stacking Cooks with Goff makes a lot of sense for GPP lineups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MichSo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sony Michel<\/a> $6,200<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Michel scored a dismal 1.4 DK points last week. This week, his price has gone up $300 from last week. If there was ever a time to jump on a player in GPPs, and DFS in general, this is it for Michel. After letting everyone who played him down in Week One, his ownership is bound to be lower this week. Just in time for a matchup with the Dolphins. The Dolphins tackling was horrendous last week, and the <a href=\"http:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/patriots\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New England Patriots<\/a> are 19-point favorites in the game. Michel should bounce back this week in a big way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GoffJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jared Goff<\/a> $5,900<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Goff is playing at home against the Saints in Week Two. This game has the highest projected points total (53) on the slate. With all of his weapons healthy and at his disposal, Goff is an intriguing option for DFS this week. In GPP contests with a lower number of entrants, you can stack Goff with all of his receivers in the hope of capitalizing on a big game from him. In larger-field GPPs, it would be wise to choose one or two of his weapons to stack him with.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/G\/GordJo02.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Josh Gordon<\/a> $5,800<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gordon only saw four targets in week one. He caught three passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. In week two, the Patriots travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The Dolphins were shredded by Lamar Jackson and company last week. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/B\/BradTo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tom Brady<\/a><\/strong> and Gordon should have their way with them this week.
