Week 17 DFS

*Stats and figures courtesy of FanDuel

Quarterbacks

Patrick Mahomes vs. Bengals – $8,000

He’s angry and Cinci’s secondary is subpar.

Kyler Murray @ Eagles – $7,800

Eagles are 27th in passing defense.

Will Levis @ Texans – $6,500

Value pick here. A week off and a good matchup for Levis has me optimistic.

Running Backs

Rachaad White vs. Saints – $7,900

White has scored double-digit fantasy points in 10 straight games and the Saints are 25th in the league in rushing defense.

James Cook vs. Patriots – $7,600

Despite a juicy matchup, Cook is affordable, likely because his poor performance last week. New OC Joe Brady has done wonders for the dynamic young RB.

Zamir White @ Colts – $6,100

Jacobs is currently doubtful for the game and White is coming off a 145 yard rushing game.

Wide Receivers

Stefon Diggs vs. Patriots – $7,600

In 8 career games against New England he has 7 TD’s and he has to bust out of this slump at some point.

Brandon Aiyuk @ Commanders – $7,500

Washington is 31st in passing defense and Purdy will be looking to make everyone forget about last week.

Zay Flowers vs. Dolphins – $6,300

He’s scored at least 17 fantasy points in 3 out of his last 4 games and is Lamar’s #1 option.

Tight Ends

Trey McBride @ Eagles – $6,800

Philadelphia is 27th in passing defense and McBride’s target share is massive.

Dalton Schultz vs. Titans – $6,200

11 targets last week and Stroud is back.

Isaiah Likely vs. Dolphins – $6,000

Despite a subpar matchup, he’s been a major factor in the Ravens offense the past three weeks.

Defense

Bills vs. Patriots – $4,900

The second priciest defense this week but the difference between the others is minimal. Plus you know they’ll be going all out for a playoff spot in front of their home crowd.

Colts vs. Raiders – $4,000

Las Vegas is the 29th ranked offense and the Colts had strung together some nice games before last week’s loss to Atlanta.

Raiders @ Colts – $3,900

4 defensive touchdowns in the past two weeks. Interim coach Antonio Pierce has this team inspired.

Dolphins

The new Big 3 in Miami broke out in a big way on Sunday with Tua Tagovailoa throwing for 469 yards and 6 touchdowns, Tyreek Hill catching 11 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns, and Jaylen Waddle going for 11 and 171 with two touchdowns of his own.

Amon-Ra St. Brown

Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown became the first player in NFL history to have 6 straight games of 8 or more receptions and a touchdown when he torched the Commanders for 9 catches for 116 yards with two touchdowns on Sunday. He also tacked on two runs for an additional 68 yards.

Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes followed up his 360 yard 5 touchdown masterpiece against the Cardinals in Week 1 with 235 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Thursday night win over the Chargers. With the departure of Tyreek Hill, any pass catcher not named Travis Kelce should stay on your bench as Mahomes continues to spread the targets around.

Buccaneers

Tampa Bay was already without receivers Chris Godwin and Julio Jones ahead of Sunday’s win over the Saints and will now be without Mike Evans in Week 3 after his suspension for the brawl against New Orleans. The Bucs added some insurance by signing free agent wide receiver Cole Beasley to their practice squad today.

    • Can he keep up the pace? I don’t think so

  • James Robinson – RB Jaguars
    • Solid start to the season but Etienne should get more touches as the season goes on

Buy Low

  • Kyle Pitts – TE Falcons
    • Way too talented to continue being ignored, look for ATL him more involved
  • Brandon Aiyuk – WR 49er’s
    • Jimmy Garoppolo’s return bodes well for Aiyuk
  • Travis Etienne Jr. – RB Jaguars
    • Effective when he gets touches and will continue to get more involved
