FantasyDraft - DFS Quarterback Pick
Drew Brees - vs DET ($13,600)
Brees has been a significantly better quarterback at home throughout his career. He has only played one game in New Orleans this season, and he was able to throw for 356 yards and two touchdowns in that game. He gets a good matchup against the Lions, who are allowing 256 passing yards per game, which ranks sixth-worst in the NFL this season. The Saints are -4.5 favorites in a game set at 50 points, and Brees is an elite option on this slate.
FantasyDraft - DFS Running Back Picks
Todd Gurley - at JAX ($14,600)
Gurley has been enjoying an unbelievable season. He's averaging 129.2 total yards and 1.4 touchdowns on 24.4 touches per game. The week, he gets an elite matchup against the Jaguars, who are allowing 146.4 rushing yards and 5.4 yards per carry per game. They have also allowed five rushing touchdowns on the season. Gurley is a safe option because of his ability to contribute in the passing game, and he is an elite running back once again this week.
Mark Ingram - vs DET ($8,700)
The Lions have looked great against the run this season, but this is not a pick based on the matchup. Ingram has been an extremely consistent player, scoring at least 10 fantasy points in every game this season. He has not displayed upside, though. With that being said, the Saints recently traded Adrian Peterson, and Ingram will take over a few of his snaps. Ingram is also averaging 5.5 targets per game this season. He is a player that is flying under the radar a bit because of the flashy play of Alvin Kamara, but Ingram, who is cheaper than Kamara, is the better play this week.
FantasyDraft - DFS Wide Receiver Picks
Larry Fitzgerald - vs TB ($12,700)
Fitzgerald has looked great this season. He is the focal point of the Cardinals offense, averaging 10.2 targets per game. He is also leading the NFL in red zone targets. Fitzgerald is a consistent player, who has seen double-digit targets in three of his five games. He gets an elite matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are allowing 309 passing yards per game. Fitzgerald will continue to be a high-volume player, and he's an elite option this week.
Jamison Crowder - vs SF ($7,800)
Crowder has struggled quite a bit this season, but mainly because he is not seeing enough targets. The Redskins have stated that they want to get Crowder more involved in the offense after the bye week. He comes with a low price tag, but he also comes with quite a bit of upside. He is playing for one of the top projected offenses on the slate, and he is a high upside option for his price tag.
FantasyDraft - DFS Tight End Pick
Evan Engram - at DEN ($7,400)
Engram is an interesting option this week. The Giants are going to have to feature him in the passing game with the majority of their wide receivers injured. Engram is averaging only a 3.8/40/0.2 line on the season, but he was shut out in the Giants last game. He's seeing plenty of targets, and that number will likely increase this week. He does come with some risk because of the Giants inability to move the ball, but Engram could be forced into a big game this week.
FantasyDraft - DFS Defense Pick
Denver Broncos D/ST - vs NYG ($7,800)
The Broncos defense is the most obvious pick this week. The Giants have little to no running game, an aging quarterback on a rapid decline, and no healthy wide receivers. The Giants are ridiculous 11.5 point underdogs in a game set at only 38.5 points. They have an implied total of 13.5 points, which is the lowest on the slate. If you have the money to pay up for Denver, it would be wise to do so.
