Top DFS Quarterback Plays for FantasyFeud 

Russell Wilson (vs CHI, $148,900)

Russell Wilson is definitely my favorite QB this week on FantasyFeud, as he gets a fantastic matchup against the terrible Chicago Bears secondary. He has yet to look extremely explosive this season, but he has had a couple of good outings against the St. Louis Rams and the Green Bay Packers. The Seattle Seahawks lost both of those games, and they will be looking to turn their season around right now. With 457 yards in the air, three passing touchdowns, and over 100 yards on the ground, Wilson should easily be one of the most versatile and top scoring fantasy options this week. He will likely throw for around 300 yards, while also rushing for around 50-100. If he finds his way into the end zone using his legs, he will definitely outscore a ton of other QB options this week.

Ben Roethlisberger (at STL, $147,600)

Roethlisberger flashed his upside last week with 369 yards and three touchdowns, but he only had 27 pass attempts. He gets a good matchup against the Rams this week, who haven't looked the part of defense in their first two games. They will likely be able to keep this game somewhat close, and Roethlisberger will be throwing more than 27 passes this week. He's also getting a second threat back this week in Le'Veon Bell, who is one of the best receiving backs in the NFL. The Steelers have one of the fastest offense in the league, and that alone gives Roethlisberger a great floor. He's the fourth most expensive quarterback on FantasyFeud this week, and he may be the most consistent. He also has as much upside as anyone, which makes him a great play in all leagues.  - Justin

 

Top DFS Running Back Plays for FantasyFeud

Le'Veon Bell (at STL, $134,500)

I just recently recommended Le'Veon Bell on DraftKings in my other RotoBaller article, and he gets the nod again over at FantasyFeud. He is the second most expensive RB on the board, but for good reason. He is coming back from a two game suspension, but DeAngelo Williams has looked great in his place, and everyone knows that Bell is twice the RB that Williams is. Williams ran for three touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers. Bell loves to catch the ball out of the backfield, and Roethlisberger will be happy to have his passing catching RB back in action this week. The Steelers should crush the St. Louis Rams, as they just recently lost to the Washington Redskins. If they are winning for a majority of the game, Bell is going to see a ton of touches. Do not let his huge price tag steer you away.

Melvin Gordon (at MIN, $92,100) 

Gordon looked much better in his second game, and if it weren't for a touchdown getting called back, his first NFL game would have also been a success. He'll likely continue to earn his coaches trust, which will results in more touches each week. He gets a great matchup against the Vikings, who Carlos Hyde dominated for 168 yards in the first week. Gordon's salary is extremely low, and he can constitute as a salary relief option this week. He's only a touchdown or a couple extra touches away from a great fantasy outing. He has multiple 20+ yard runs this season, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks a long one for a score.  - Justin

 

Top DFS Wide Receiver Plays for FantasyFeud 

Michael Crabtree (at CLE, $60,700) 

Not to toot my own horn, but how about that Sammy Watkins recommendation last week? I'm going a little bit risky this week, but Michael Crabtree has been solid so far this season and his price tag is way too low. He gets a good matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who just look bad as usual. In his last game against the Baltimore Ravens, Crabtree had nine receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown. While he likely will not blow up for that many yards again, he should be able to easily bring down 3-7 receptions for around 50 yards and the possibility of a touchdown. Granted, without many other WR options, Crabtree could see 8-12 receptions for over 100 yards again. If you are looking for consistency, look elsewhere, but if you are looking for upside, roll with Crabtree.

Brandon Marshall (vs PHI, $113,500)

The Eagles defense has looked pathetic this season, and it seems like any receiver with at least a bit of talent can pop off for a huge game against them. Marshall seems to be a major part of the Jets offense, as he has 13 receptions for 163 yards and two touchdowns on the season. The Eagles offense will likely look a bit better this week, meaning the Jets are going to have to throw the ball to keep up with them. Marshall's price is a bit high, but he isn't quite priced with the elite talents. If you're looking to save a bit of money here, you can also go with Marshall's partner in crime, Eric Decker. Both receivers make strong plays this week.  - Justin

 

FantasyFeud Top Wide Receiver Plays

Jimmy Graham (vs CHI, $99,900)

I'm going to let Justin recommend Rob Gronkowski again this week. While it is enticing to pay up for a TE that is likely to catch 8-10 balls for 100 yards a 1-3 touchdowns, he is not a contrarian play by any means. Instead, look for Jimmy Graham at the TE position this week. He makes for a great pair with Russell Wilson, and he should be involved a lot more in the passing game against the Bears than he was against the Packers last week. The Seahawks brought him in for a reason, and he is one of the best receiving options they have. Wilson will be intentionally looking in his direction a lot this week, and Graham should be able to find the end zone against the terrible Bears' defense. Gronkowski is the safe option, but if you want to save around $50,000 and like to gamble, Graham is a solid GPP TE option.

Rob Gronkowski (at JAC, $145,600)

Another week, another Gronk recommendation. He's the best tight end in the NFL, and if you can fit him in your lineups, it would be a wise move. On the season, he has 12 receptions for 207 yards and four touchdowns. He's the most consistent tight end on the slate, and he also has the most upside. The Patriots should be able to slice through the Jags defense like butter, and Gronk is Brady's top red zone target. I don't love predicting stats, but is seems like we can pencil in Gronk for a floor around a 5-80-1 line right now.  - Justin
