Week 2 DraftKings Cash & Tournament Plays

Josh Jacobs looked great in his NFL debut against the Broncos. He's likely
going to be incredibly chalky in Week 2, but at his price point, it's almost
too hard to resist.

After going through and dissecting some of my favorite plays from across the DraftKings main slate, it's time to take a little deeper look at who the best cash game and tournament considerations are.

Below I've compiled a handful of players from each position I see being viable options in both formats.

Granted, my mind is mostly geared toward the tournament prospective, so take the cash game plays with a bit of a grain of salt.

I can tell you, though, my tournament player pool is relatively small for the week. I'll probably roll out two or three tournament lineups, and I'm debating on lock-buttoning one QB and WR combination.

My cash game lineups, however, I haven't settled on just yet. But this is where I'm starting.

Week 7 Picks, Fades & Stacks

Leonard Fournette may have finally reached the $7,000 mark but he's still far too cheap . My journey into the journalism world began with my love of sports. Writing sports was my passion. It was what I loved to do. My life, in fact. I wanted to be known for my writing. Published everywhere. The biggest papers in the country, the largest websites and featured on the million-viewer sports analysis shows. What I've learned about journalism and media, however, as I've gotten older, is that it's not about your byline or the amount of followers you have on social media, or even the amount of words you're allotted in a publication. Rather, it's about what you do WITH those words. Making those words have real impact. Using your byline in a way that can bring attention to causes and people who aren't million-dollar athletes or NFL superstars. No. There are things that are bigger than football. And this is one of them. Dakovion Kennedy, a soph...

Fantasy Outlook: Cam Newton

Cam Newton signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots on Sunday evening What should you expect from 2015 MVP quarterback? Quarterback Cam Newton signed a one-year-deal with the New England Patriots worth up to $7.5 million, per league sources who told ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter . After suffering several injuries over the last couple seasons, including a Lisfranc injury that cost the quarterback 14 games last year, the Patriots have found their answer under center. It’s important to note that learning the Patriots playbook has been notoriously difficult and given the late timing of this signing I would follow reports out of New England very closely over the coming months to see if Newton is even ready for Week 1. Newton certainly provides an upgrade over 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham or journeyman quarterback Bryan Hoyer and provides a small ray of hope to all those fantasy owners with New England pieces. The 2015 MVP finds himself right back i...

Week 7 DraftKings Pricing First Glance

It's unbelievable to have to write this down in actual words, but Josh Allen comes into Week 7 as the No. 5 highest-priced QB ($6,500). In a home game against Miami, and coming off a bye, he might be worth paying up for. After a week that saw some of the biggest top-end scores I remember seeing on DraftKings.com , Week 6 allowed us to come back down to earth. There was only one 40-point scorer on the main slate -- Stefon Diggs of all people. The narrative that surrounded the Vikings for the past two weeks all but spelled doom and gloom for Diggs. Hearing all of the drama he had been involved in with requesting a trade, and stoking the flames more by giving some open-ended answers to reporters and cryptic social media posts. That being the long way of saying, we probably should've seen this coming. The industry was on Mike Evans a few weeks back after the price had dropped to a point where it was just obvious to play him. Now, there's no way we could've pre...
