We’re going with two of the popular top options this week for QB. Newton always provides the opportunity for a big day with his arm and his legs, and he figures to be able to quickly bounce back from his disappointing outing versus a Vikings’ defense that is quickly becoming an elite unit. Rivers has a great matchup against a lackluster Saints’ defense that has to travel to San Diego on a short week.
Le’Veon Bell is back, and he’s inserted immediately into our lineups considering his upside in all facets of the game. Jordan Howard provides value on FanDuel as the primary RB in CHI following injuries to Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey. On DraftKings we’re paying up for David Johnson who is our consensus top RB, and we’re pairing him with a value play with immense upside in Carlos Hyde and another Charger in Melvin Gordon who figures to be a popular play against the Saints.
We’ll continue to use a top WR option on FanDuel and DraftKings. This week on FanDuel we’re rolling out A.J. Green who posted solid totals against the tough Broncos’ defense in Week 3 and sees a much more favorable matchup against the Dolphins on Thursday. He’s paired with another Charger, Travis Benjamin, and Marvin Jones who’s coming off a tremendous Week 3. On DraftKings we’re going with the ever-dependable Antonio Brown against the Chiefs along with Terrelle Pryor, who showed he can do just about anything in Week 3, and Tyrell Williams, who carries a ton of upside into his contest against the Saints.
Dennis Pitta again provides solid value on FanDuel at TE, and we’re rolling with Coby Fleener once again on DraftKings as he’ll look to put up another strong performance.
