Below I will highlight a few guys that I perceive will provide value for their price on DraftKings for Week 3 in the NFL.
Quarterback:
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers ($8,000): If you want to spend up on QB this week, Rodgers is the play at home against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are a good defense, but Rodgers just carved up the Seahawks for an efficient 249 yards, and 2 touchdowns to go along with 23 rushing yards. Since the beginning of the 2014 season, Rodgers is averaging 287 passing yards, and 3 passing touchdowns in home games. He is the play if you are paying up for QB and great for 50/50 or cash games.
Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals ($6,600): I wrote up Palmer last week and I am going to do it again. He has a great matchup this week at home against the 49ers, who just gave up 369 passing yards to the Steelers last week. Palmer has been an elite fantasy QB while he has been healthy the last 2 seasons. In his 8 healthy games, he has thrown for an average of 265 yards and 2.25 passing touchdowns per game. The 49ers have allowed the most yards per attempt of any defense so far this season, allowing 10.2 yards per throw. Palmer makes for a great play in both 50/50 cash games, as well as GPPs.
Running back:
Joseph Randle, Dallas Cowboys ($5,100): Randle has shown steady production so far this season with at least 16 carries each game. Now with the loss of Tony Romo, the Cowboys should lean heavily on their run and their elite offensive line. Randle should receive a high volume of carries and provide production against the Falcons who have allowed 3.7 yards per carries so far this season.
Danny Woodhead, San Diego Chargers ($4,400): Minnesota has allowed the 3rd worst yards per rush so far this season at 4.9 yards a pop. In addition, Woodhead has received all 7 red zone rushes this season for the Chargers, in addition to gobbling up 19% of the team’s targets. In a point per reception scoring that DraftKings uses, Woodhead makes a great play at his price with his 14.5 touches per game.
