It seems like just yesterday that fans were longing for fantasy football and now it\u2019s a reality. One of the best aspects of fantasy football has become playing on DraftKings. Every week is like a new puzzle to figure out. Whether you are more of a cash game or tournament player, each presents a unique challenge.

He picked apart the Browns defense on his way to 27.5 fantasy points. That was with \u201conly\u201d 45 yards on the ground. That\u2019s scary stuff there. This week Jackson has another nice matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/texans\/\" target=\"_self\">Houston Texans<\/a>. This matchup will be even more enticing than last week&#8217;s if Houston can keep the game a bit closer than Cleveland did and this game turns into more of a shootout. Regardless, nobody has the floor\/ceiling combination that Lamar has and he\u2019s always a safe bet if you are looking to pay up at quarterback.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Kyler Murray (ARI) \u2013 $6,100 v WAS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/06\/15\/kyler-murray-fantasy-football-outlook-2020\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Kyler Murray<\/strong><\/a> was one of &#8220;the guys&#8221; heading into this season and is a dark-horse MVP candidate.

He was able to do that without being that sharp through the air either. This week he gets to face off against the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/redskins\/\" target=\"_self\">Washington Football Team<\/a>. The defensive line for Washington is a nasty group but the defense as a whole isn\u2019t as strong. Murray, like Jackson, presents such a high floor due to the rushing aspect of his game and he\u2019s always a strong cash game consideration.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kyler Murray magic.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/GjdqwJVh4x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/GjdqwJVh4x<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL_DovKleiman\/status\/1305278316363091969?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 13, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Josh Allen (BUF) \u2013 $6,700 @ MIA<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>This feels a little bit like chasing points as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AlleJo02.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Josh Allen<\/strong><\/a> is coming off arguably the best game of his career in Week 1.

This week he also gets an extremely favorable matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>. He\u2019s torched Miami so far in his short career. In four games against the Fins, Allen&#8217;s finishes are QB1, QB1, QB2, and QB7.

Carson was also surprisingly involved in the passing game as well and Zeke saw four targets in Week 1. This game has the highest O\/U on the entire slate and the Cowboys are the fastest-paced team in the NFL so there should be plenty of fantasy goodness in this one. Zeke is one of the few workhorses left and should turn out to be one of the best plays when it\u2019s all said and done.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Derrick Henry (TEN) \u2013 $7,900 v JAX<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Speaking of smash spots, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/07\/23\/derrick-henry-fantasy-football-preview-2020-outlook\/\" target=\"_self\">Derrick Henry<\/a> <\/strong>gets to take on the Jags this week.

It is always terrible to see any player go down, but when it happens, other players see an opportunity to step up. This should be pretty straight forward as Taylor should handle most of the workload this week. Taylor looked good in bursts in his debut and the most encouraging sign was the six targets and receptions. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Vikings<\/a> defense isn\u2019t what it once was and Taylor should see a healthy workload.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Kenyan Drake (ARI) \u2013 $5,900 v WAS<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2020\/06\/15\/kenyan-drake-fantasy-football-outlook-2020-profile\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Kenyan Drake<\/strong><\/a> didn\u2019t have a great game in Week 1, but it wasn\u2019t bad either.

Adams was able to haul in 14 of those targets for 156 yards and two scores, which was good for 44.6 DraftKings points. That number was easily the best among any receiver in Week 1. This week he gets another mouth-watering matchup against a depleted <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams\/lions\/\" target=\"_self\">Detroit Lions<\/a> secondary. If Detroit can keep this contest close, Adams is a near-lock for another double-digit target day. The only risk here is that the Packers jump out to an early lead and lean on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=JoneAa00,JoneAa20&amp;search=Aaron+Jones&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Jones<\/a><\/strong> and the run game.

So much for the notion that receivers take a dip in production after they move to a new team. Maybe that doesn\u2019t apply to one of the best wide receivers in the league, especially when he goes to one of the best schemes in the NFL. Nuk was able to put up a similar line to Adams, just without the touchdowns. He saw 16 targets and hauled in 14 of them for 151 yards. Not bad against one of the better defenses in the NFL. This week Hopkins should produce once again in what should be a very fast-paced matchup between Washington and Arizona. Hopkins should\u00a0 see another double-digit target game come Sunday.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Diontae Johnson (PIT) \u2013 $4,500 v DEN<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The pricing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/J\/JohnDi01.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Diontae Johnson<\/strong><\/a> is just far too low. This is a situation of the pricing coming out before the Monday Night Football game, which fantasy players can take advantage of. After starting off rough, Johnson settled in as the game moved on.

The biggest question with Andrews was if he could continue the high efficiency and if not, could he offset it by playing a higher snap count. How about both? In Week 1, Andrews set a career-high in snap rate at 71%, besting his previous high of 57.6%. He also led all tight ends in end-zone targets and was fourth among all tight ends in target share.

He finished with three catches for 40 yards, good for seven points. That was the bad news. The good news is that he finished tied for second on the team in yards and third in targets and receptions. He also played on nearly 90% of snaps in Week 1 and ran a route on nearly 70% of dropbacks. These are all good signs that he\u2019s playing a similar role to what he did down the stretch in 2019. This week he gets a nicer matchup against an Eagles team that just allowed <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/T\/ThomLo00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Logan Thomas<\/a><\/strong> to have a very nice game against them.

It\u2019s pretty random but there are a few areas to gain an advantage. Fantasy players can try to target the heavily favorited teams as they usually are playing with a lead. 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. With that being said, the best plan is to fill out the rest of your lineup first and then pick the best available D\/ST out of the remaining money.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tentative Cash Game Lineup<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>QB \u2013 Kyler Murray<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Ezekiel Elliott<\/li>\n<li>RB \u2013 Derrick Henry<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 DeAndre Hopkins<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Parris Campbell<\/li>\n<li>WR \u2013 Diontae Johnson<\/li>\n<li>TE \u2013 Chris Herndon<\/li>\n<li>Flex \u2013 Jonathan Taylor<\/li>\n<li>DST \u2013 New York Jets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Make sure to tune in next week to see the results from my Week 2 DraftKings plays and to see the best picks for Week 3.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"1FhpZdtCTwlb8uG7nFabOQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1196569927\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1FhpZdtCTwlb8uG7nFabOQ',sig:'x1AGEq-e6kHSOJnr4tJcI4tYVv4lK629IXCMyUDED-A=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1196569927',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 2 DraftKings Plays; With Week 1 in the books, here are players to target in daily fantasy in Week 2  for cash games or tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":94976,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[596,111,110,258,294,61,4674,1056,40],"class_list":["post-94828","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-derrick-henry","tag-dfs","tag-draftkings","tag-ezekiel-elliott","tag-fantasy-football","tag-football","tag-kyler-murray","tag-lamar-jackson","tag-nfl"],"modified_by":"Ben Kerr","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94828","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=94828"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/94828\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/94976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=94828"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=94828"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=94828"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
