Quarterback
Tom Brady (NE): $7,900 @ PIT (16.0% Own %)
Brady has looked sharp in his first two games since returning from suspension, scoring at least 30 DKP in each contest. The Patriots have an implied total pushing 28 points, and with Brady having all sorts of weapons at his disposal, he should be in line for yet another big showing.
Running Back
DeMarco Murray (TEN): $7,200 vs. IND (26.2% Own %)
Murray has received at least 21 touches in four straight contests, and he draws a juicy matchup at home this week, so I expect the volume to continue. Despite a letdown in Week 6, it appears owners are forgiving Murray, as he projects to be highly owned in Week 7. Don’t be afraid to have some exposure to Murray, even in tournaments, as you typically still need a few chalk plays in your lineups.
Wide Receiver
Julio Jones (ATL): $9,200 vs. SD (40.1% Own %)
This is a good matchup at home for Jones and the Falcons, which has resulted in the wide out having some lofty ownership projections heading into Week 7. There’s little doubt that this offense is humming right now, but you’ll want to likely look elsewhere in some of your tournament lineups, as you could really make progress in the standings with a lesser owned option. Keep in mind Jones has registered three games of at least 24.6 DKP, while he’s scored less than five DKP twice (once is a free pass against Denver).
Tight End
Rob Gronkowski (NE): $7,200 @ PIT (29.2% Own %)
Gronkowski looked like his old self last week, scoring 32.2 DKP against the Bengals. That performance, coupled with the return of Tom Brady, has led to Gronkowski projecting for some high ownership levels against the Steelers. While you certainly want some exposure to him in you have multiple tournament entries, the steep tag can be restrictive in roster construction, which might mean you need to look at a cheaper option.
D/ST
Minnesota Vikings (MIN): $3,700 @ PHI (11.5% Own %)
The Vikings are fresh off of their bye week, but owners haven’t forgotten that this defense has scored at least 10 DKP in four out of five games. The Eagles have an implied total of 18.5 points, so I don’t mind using Minnesota for cash games, but playing the fade in tournaments seems like the prudent move this week.
