Why does Bobby insist on playing DeAndre Hopkins in DFS this week?

Welcome to the latest episode of the FantasyPros Football Podcast. The show is hosted by Bobby Sylvester (@bobbyfantasypro) and produced by JP Gale (@GoJPG). Throughout the NFL season, we’ll be interviewing featured experts and team correspondents who will offer insight to help your squads.

Doug Norrie (@DougNorrie) of Daily Fantasy Sports Rankings joins us to cover Week 4 from a daily fantasy perspective. We being by discussing quarterbacks and decide who is a better expensive cash game play between Cam Newton and Drew Brees (4:28), our top value QBs (7:58), and we give a few contrarian plays that could end up in million dollar winning lineups (12:01). Moving on to running backs, we discuss who could be the top owned player this week and if he’s worth fading (15:55), how to treat lower priced backup players with good opportunities (17:16), which obscure player could finish with the highest score (24:29), and we give our predictions on who could finish with the most carries in Week 4 (28:26). We continue with wide receivers beginning with whether we think Antonio Brown is worth his massive price (32:10), cheap players we think could score enough points to be value plays (35:35), our favorite options in PPR formats (39:17), and who between Marvin Jones, Kelvin Benjamin or Stefon Diggs will have the best week (43:08). Our tight end discussion features Rob Gronkowski (45:55) and Hunter Henry (47:39), then we cover defenses and examine the projected best plays and some possible contrarian options (48:40). We finish with stacks and give our safest picks, along with stacks that have a chance to score points despite possible low ownership (52:02).
