Top DFS Quarterback Plays for FantasyFeud 

Eli Manning (at BUF, $129,100)

As I mentioned in my DraftKing's article, Eli Manning has been surprisingly good so far this season. If you have been watching football for more than the last three games of this season, you know by now that Eli Manning is an interception machine. However, he has yet to throw an interception yet this season. Let us not commit the "gambler's fallacy" and suggest that he is "due" to throw an interception. Instead, using his small sample size for this season so far, it should be clear that Manning (no, not Peyton) is one of the top fantasy plays this week. On the season, he has 764 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. The Buffalo Bills are allowing around 323 yards per game through the air on average over their last three games. Oh, and he gets to throw the Odell Beckham Jr. If this doesn't shout fantasy upside, I'm not sure what does.

Derek Carr (at CHI, $127,600)

Carr has been outstanding this season while healthy, as he has recorded 594 yards and 5 touchdowns in essentially two games. He gets a great matchup against the Bears this week, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Carr looks like he has a full disposal of weapons this season, as well, which will only help his fantasy outlook. He has been producing more fantasy points than most of the quarterbacks around him, and it's only a matter of time before his price shoots up. Get him in your lineup, and pair him with one of his top two targets.   - Justin

 

Top DFS Running Back Plays for FantasyFeud

Joseph Randle (at NO, $113,500)

It seems like it would be an injustice to disregard Joseph Randle this week against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are struggling on the defensive side of the ball right now, and the Cowboys are going to take their traveling "Joseph Randle Touchdown Show" into New Orleans. Last week, Randle rushed for three touchdowns, and he touched the ball at an alarming rate. Brandon Weeden's goal is clearly to hand the ball off and win enough games to keep the Cowboy's season alive until Tony Romo returns. Randle was a threat even with Tony Romo at the helm, but he is even more of a threat now that he is almost guaranteed to touch the ball 25-30 times a game.

Karlos Williams (vs NYG, $86,100)  

Williams' price took a bit of a jump on Fantasy Feud, but it is still entirely too cheap. The reports have indicated that LeSean McCoy is likely to miss this game, which means Williams will get the lionshare of the touches. He's averaging 7.8 yards per carry on the season, recording 186 yards and 3 touchdowns on 24 carries. If McCoy is out, Williams could double his attempts on the season, which gives him great upside. He also gets a matchup against a weak Giants run defense, and Williams should be used in all leagues this week.  - Justin

 

Top DFS Wide Receiver Plays for FantasyFeud 

Michael Crabtree (at CHI, $83,300)

No, you are not reading last week's article. I am recommending Michael Crabtree two weeks in a row. Before you click that x button in the upper right hand side of your screen, allow me to explain. Crabtree was definitely disappointing in his last game against the Cleveland Browns, catching only 4 balls for 36 yards. However, he gets a fantastic matchup against the Chicago Bears' horrific defense this week, and he should be able to put up numbers similar to his game against the Baltimore Ravens this season (9 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown). Derek Carr is finally starting to look like franchise QB material, and Crabtree is going to benefit hugely from Carr's progression throughout the entire season. I'm willing to bet his name will find a way back onto this list before the season is over, if his price stays this low.

Julio Jones (vs HOU, 152,300)

Jones is one of the most obvious plays this week, but that doesn't mean he's a bad one. At this point, it's nearly impossible to avoid him in cash games. He's leading the NFL in targets, and he has turned those into 34 receptions, 440 yards, and 4 touchdowns on the season. Matty Ice will continue to look his way early and often, and he's also a huge part of their red zone gameplan. He gets a matchup against the Texans, who have yet to be tested by a true top tier wide receiver this season. Jones is the safest recevier on the slate this week.   - Justin

 

FantasyFeud Top Wide Receiver Plays

Jordan Reed (vs PHI, $98,800)

It'll be interesting to see what Justin does this week at the TE position with the Patriots on bye. Without Gronkowski, the top TE play is Jordan Reed. Granted, Jimmy Graham had a solid game last week and makes for a good play on FantasyFeud with a low-ish price tag, but Reed is simply in a better spot in Washington. He is being very heavily targeted every week by Kirk Cousins, and that is leading to a tremendous amount of catches for Reed. So far this season, he has 26 targets, 241 receiving yards, and a touchdown. He is a step over the goal line from exploding every week. He is playing against the Philadelphia Eagles this week, and while it is still early, it seems like both teams are playing to keep their season alive right now. Bold prediction: Jordan Reed will outscore Jimmy Graham this week.

Martellus Bennett (vs OAK, $103,400)

There are a lot of reasons to dislike Martellus Bennett this week, but he has a matchup take away those factors. Jimmy Clausen will draw the start for the Bears, and he looked terrified in his start last week, and this week likely won't be much better. Bennett also hasn't been a huge part of their offense, recording only 13 catches for 118 yards and 1 touchdown this season. The matchup against the Raiders couldn't be more ideal, though. They have allowed massive 9-104-2, 5-88-2, and 6-105-1 lines to Eifert, Gillmore, and Barnidge respectively. Bennett may be the most talented of the group, and he has loads of upside this week. - Justin
