We have an eight-game slate to kick off our week, and there are plenty of good options all across the board. Regardless if you are looking for cash games plays or GPP plays, there are plenty of solid options out there tonight. We are only a week into the season, but there are some injuries already starting to pop up, which will change the player rotations for some teams. This means playing time for some players who are underpriced and should be seeing plenty of minutes.

James Harden (HOU): $11,200 vs. MEM
Harden is always a great option when it comes to daily fantasy, but with Chris Paul going out with an injury, we want to take an extra look at him. The Rockets will essentially revert back to the offense they ran last year, with Harden running the point. He is a threat for a triple-double any night, and now with the increased usage he will be seeing due to Chris Paul being out, he makes an even better play. Yes, he is super expensive, but he is one player that can carry your roster. Harden has 47 or more DraftKings points in all three of his games this season and finds himself in a game where the Rockets have an implied team total of 110 points. Should be a high scoring game and plenty of touches for Harden.
