Week 4 DraftKings Cash & Tournament Plays

Leonard Fournette saw 100 percent of the backfield snaps in his Week 3 game.
He's only putting up 13 DraftKings points per game, but has yet to find his way
into the end zone. With volume like that, when he finally scores a touchdown,
it's going to be a massive week ... and I think this is the one. 


Week 3 was FIRE. It seemed like all the buttons I pressed were the right ones.

Mike Evans was going off. Jameis Winston looked good. Christian McCaffrey was the man. Keenan Allen put up a 40-burger.

It legitimately seemed like every lineup I had went bonkers.

The only problem? So did everyone else's.

So, if you were playing on DraftKings.com in Week 3 and didn't score at least 175+ ... you might need to delete your account. Because even a fish like me managed to come close to the 200-point mark.

Granted, not all weeks will be so fruitful in the 40-burger department.

With a couple of teams on bye in Week 4 -- it's the Jets and 49ers, so, I mean, is it really hurting us? -- and some heavy hitters in the primetime games, this week's slate is a little more difficult to navigate.

There are more games with totals in the high 30s and low 40s (Jags-Broncos, Vikings-Bears, Pats-Bills) than we've seen recently. Which all but means the higher-total games on the slate (Chiefs-Lions, Redskins-Giants, Bucs-Rams) will just naturally garner more ownership based on projected point totals alone.

Clustered ownership on players in those games seems logical. But if you're trying to win a GPP and not just double your investment, you're going to need to find a way to create leverage on the field and grab some plays that not many others are on.

Be sure to check out the column from earlier this week where I broke down the initial picks, fades and stacks.

Cash Plays

QB

Patrick Mahomes $7,500
Jacoby Brissett $5,400

It's shaping up to be Will Dissly chalk week at tight end. 
With everyone paying down at the position, this seems
like the week to pay up and get lower ownership on the
best tight end in football.

Week 2 Waiver Wire: Who you need to be adding

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown is a must-add after Week 1. Not only does he have huge-play ability, but he's getting volume now with a quarterback in Josh Allen who isn't afraid to chuck it deep to him.  The overarching theme of Week 1 -- other than the ridiculous performances from a few guys -- was, undoubtedly, injuries. And with lots of injuries, comes even more waiver wire action. If you follow the For Fantasy Sake Facebook page , you'd know all of  the key injuries and what some of the outlooks for those players are. If you don't, tough, I'm not going over all of the injuries here, pal. Go give us a follow and keep up with the news. Now that we've got the shameless plugging out of the way -- nah, brah, I'm not above that -- let's get to the options you should be looking at to fill those voids on your roster. Go Get 'Em Tyrell Williams, WR, Oakland Raiders – 63% owned With Antonio Brown out of Oakland – how fun was it ...

Week 10 DraftKings Pricing First Glance

With six teams on bye, a lot of the top options we usually go to on DraftKings, like DeAndre Hopkins, won't be available to play. So who are we going to this week with so many fantasy studs on the sidelines?  It's officially Bye-Nado. With six teams on bye, which, obviously, shrinks the slate; but with so many teams having their week off, it diminishes the talent pool. The teams that are on bye: Denver New England Philadelphia Washington Jacksonville Houston Obviously, Washington, and even Denver to an extent, are outliers on this list. The other four, however, have fantasy-viable players up and down their roster.  New England: Tom Brady, James White, Sony Michel, Julian Edelman, Mohammed Sanu and Pats DST Philadelphia: Carson Wentz, Jordan Howard, Alshon Jeffery, Zach Ertz Houston: Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins  Jacksonville: Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark There are some fantasy heavy-hitters in that list above. But the more important fac...

Your Guide to DFS Week 1

Chris Carson has the perfect storm to make him one of the best  plays on the entire DFS slate in Week 1.  The news broke a few months ago that sports betting and -- more importantly -- daily fantasy was going to be legalized in the lovely state of Iowa. Allegedly, they were both to be ready to roll by the start of the NFL season. Fast forward to, well, right now, and we're sitting with only ONE of those being legalized. Not sure if you noticed, but the NFL season started Thursday. Way to go, Iowa. Or DraftKings. Or government.  I don't know who the hell to blame, so I'll blame them all.  TRIGGERED!  Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.  Okay. We're good now. ... Still triggered. But good enough to move on.  You came here for the DFS plays -- though I'm not sure what the actual F you're doing listening to me -- so let's outline how this ditty is going down each week.  How it's going to wo...
