Undervalued DraftKings Sleepers For Week 9

Quarterback Lineup Pick

Colin Kaepernick - $7,000 - He is a viable dual threat at QB. Earlier in the season when he played the Rams he scored 32 fantasy points. and passed for 343 yards and 3 TDs.  Now I would not expect a similar line but 250 pass yards a couple TDs is what I would expect for around 20 fantasy points.

 

Running Back Lineup Picks

Jeremy Hill - $4,000 - Hill should be in all of your lineups at that bargain price. Again be sure to check the last minute inactives but for now it appears that Gio will not play which means Hill will carry the full load. An easy matchup against Jacksonville, who gives up 115 rush yards per game, should equal a big game for Hill. I would expect 100 rush yards and a TD in this game for him.

LeSean McCoy - $5,200 - Although McCoy only has 1 rushing touchdown on the season this price seems too low to pass up.  Houston is middle of the pack in stopping the run as they allow 108 rush yards per game.  I like McCoy to have a 100 yard rushing game paired with a few catches. Hopefully, he can find paydirt as well and deliver around 15 fantasy points.

 

Wide Receiver Lineups Picks

Rueben Randle - $5,400 - The Colts defense has been playing well of late with the exception of last week as Roethlisberger passed for over 500 yards.  The key in this game will be the Giants offensive line which has been bad for most of the year. Regardless, I see Indy putting plenty of points up in this game which means the Giants will be forced to pass.  Randle is the #1 target with Cruz gone for the year and a good redzone target as well.  I would expect a line similar to 5 catches for 60 yards and a TD.

Allen Robinson - $4,900 - Robinson has emerged as the go to WR for Jacksonville this year.  We all know that the Jaguars will pass plenty to try and stay in games.  Robinson has been a target monster in recent weeks and should see plenty of targets in this game as well. 6 catches for 80 yards and a possible touchdown are reasonable expectations.

 

Tight End Lineup Pick

Julius Thomas - $5,600 - I have no idea why he is priced $2,000 less than Rob Gronkowski.  This is tremendous value and a must play in all of your cash lineups.  His price decrease may have something to do with his performance in the last 2 weeks but a shootout match vs the the Pats should get him back on track.  The Patriots are one of the worst teams in covering the TE as they allow 14 fantasy points per game to them. I would bank on 100 receiving yards and a TD or two.

 

Defense Lineup Pick

Seahawks Defense - All of the defenses are priced between $2,600 and $,3400 so I see no reason why the Seahawks will not be one of the most owned defenses this week. An easy matchup against the Oakland Raiders and their rookie QB in Derek Carr.  Their defense got back on track last week against the Carolina Panthers and I fully expect them to build off of that this week. 10-15 points is a reasonable expectation with a couple of sacks and turnovers mixed in.
