For Fantasy Sake

Upon first glance, Marlon Mack seems to be one the best running back plays on the slate -- and at a great value.   My. God. What a brutal weekend.

Alvin Kamara is in a smash spot this weekend agains the Los Angeles Rams, and, for my money, is likely to be the best play on the entire DraftKings slate.   This is where the fun begins. No one has had a month and a half to look at pricing, run model projections and research the slate like they had for Week 1. It's back to the usual only-got-a-week-to-prepare guide. Don't get me wrong, that's definitely long enough to overthink and tinker your way into a trash lineup. The single most important advice after a rough Week 1 is this: Don't overhaul your process because you didn't find a green screen after just one week. Think about the weird things that happened you would have never predicted: Lamar Jackson throwing 5 TDs and being the No. 1-scoring QB Jamies Winston & Cam Newton scoring less than Robert Griffin III Derrick Henry catching ONE pass for a 75-yard TD Sammy Watkins almost dropping a 50-burger T.J. Hockenson going absolutely of...

It took a bit too long for the Bills to turn the game  over to Devin Singletary in Week 1, but once he got  action he looked good. Will he see enough volume  week to week to be a viable fantasy option? After just one week of football being behind us, it seems no team is exempt from having questions surrounding them. We've got team-by-team breakdown from all 32 teams and what their biggest storyline or concerns are after Week 1.  Arizona Cardinals: Can Kyler Murray be a season-long QB1 in 12 teams leagues? He was QB11 in Week 1 in a tie against the Lions, but it took a him half to get his feet under him. Murray threw the ball for 308 yards and two scores, but had just 13 yards rushing. I would expect the passing yards go down, but the rushing yards go up, keeping him in the conversation most of the season. Atlanta Falcons: Will the Falcons have a running game? The Vikings defense is really good, they allowed just 12 fantasy points to Devonta Freeman and...

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 ...

If I told you Sammy Watkins would be the highest-scoring player on the DraftKings  main slate on Sunday, you wouldn't have believed me.  Hell, I wouldn't have even believed me. But he was.  So with an early look at DK pricing, who will be this week's Watkins? If you followed some of the Week 1 DraftKings plays suggested like, say, Sammy Watkins, Lamar Jackson and DeSean Jackson, you just won all the money. But, uh, you know, just forget about the Tevin Coleman, Cam Newton and Todd Gurley calls. Although Week 1 isn't officially in the books, the lovely people at DraftKings always put out the coming-week's pricing before Monday night games.  Every Monday, we'll have a preliminary look at the next week's DK prices and list a handful of players who stick out based on matchup, price, injury news, etc.  Again, this is for the DraftKings Sunday main slate ONLY. So don't go asking about Thursday or Monday guys. Because, guess what? Not answ...
