Last Word On Sports presents your fantasy football starts and sits for week 8 in the NFL.
The Raiders are off to a hot start, but are the Oakland Raiders a playoff team this season?
Welcome to the Last Word on Sports NFL DraftKings Week 4 Lineup. I sure hope you read last week’s lineup because it would have won you some money. It scored 189 points and ranked in the top 11% out of 383K lineups in the $1 Million Play Action contest on DraftKings. Hopefully it made up for the lousy picks I made in Week 2 and will give you confidence in my choices from here on out. Let’s get to the picks! DraftKings Week 4 Lineup Eli Manning, New York Giants Quarterback, $7000 The New York Giants play the Buffalo Bills’ stingy defense this week, so it might not seem like a great idea to play the occasionally turnover prone Eli Manning against a tough defense like this. However, it might surprise you to learn how much teams have thrown against the Bills this year. Opposing quarterbacks are averaging 53 passing attempts per game so far this season when playing the Bills. 53! Manning so far this year is only averaging 36 attempts per game. If you extrapolate his fantasy points per pass attempt to account for 53 attempts, he would be expected to score at least 24 points this week. I think 24 is probably a high estimate, but he should come in at least somewhere around 20 points given the expected uptick in attempts. I feel good about that kind of point floor at the quarterback position. Shane Vereen, New York Giants Running Back, $4300 With increased passing attempts in the Giants offense, comes more snaps for Shane Vereen. He has to fight for carries with both Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams, but he is guaranteed to be on the field in passing situations. Given that teams generally pass so much against the Bills, and the DraftKings scoring system is point per reception, he should take advantage of that, and catch five or six balls. He’ll also have a decent chance to score a touchdown. Melvin Gordon, San Diego Chargers Running Back, $4900…
