WEEK 17 DRAFTKINGS / FAN DUEL ADVICE

 

Cam Newton is my best QB pick of the week.  After a really mediocre start to the season, he has really turned it on as of late.  Last 2 games he has looked really solid. His 30 PLUS point game against The Saints 2 weeks ago was impressive.  He gets The Falcons in Atlanta today, who are easily picked apart by opposing QB’s.   Luck might only play ½, Rodgers has a tough matchup, and didn’t play Detroit well earlier this season.  Manning has a dead arm, and Brees, Romo, and Brady aren’t playing for anything.  It really comes down to Newton and Matt Ryan for me, I’m riding the hot hand and going with Superman.  HE has the potential to eclipse 250 through the air and 100 on the ground today

 

AJ Green is “Banged Up” with a bruised bicep.  HOWEVER, when he played Pittsburgh a few weeks ago he had 11 receptions for 226 yards and a TD.  A lot of people will be shying away from Green today, if you want to gamble, he could be huge today.  If he can somehow replicate these numbers, AND he is only owned in 2% of lineups, you get a GIGANTIC advantage.

 

If you don’t have Lev Bell in your lineup, you won’t be winning any big tourneys.  50 points 3 weeks ago against the same Bengals team.  Pay up, find a way, he is the only player worth the high price tag today.  He is the definition of solid.

 

Odell Beckham JR. is the highest price player on Draftkings.  He has been UNREAL the past 4 weeks.  Even though he is so expensive, I think a huge % of people will pay up for him.  He has to get over 100 yards and 2 TDs to return his “Value”.  Don’t pay for him, hope he throws up a good game, I have him at 6 for 89 and 1 TD, that’s a GOOD game, but not at almost $10,000.  If he underpproduces, you have a uge advantage over the 15%-20% of people who paid for him.

 

Steven Jackson is out.  Devonta Freeman makes an awesome Value play today for cheap money.  He always has the potential to break off a huge run at anytime.

 

Don’t play ANY Patriots players today, don’t get cute

Mike Wallace has OWNED The Jets during his career, he could have a big day for a mid range priced WR. 

 

TE Scott Chandler had 6 receptions for 105 yards earler this season versus The Pats.  Tight Ends is a crap shoot at this point, save some $$, take Chandler

 

Teddy Bridgewater is a nice Value play against The Bears today.  Bridgewater has been really solid the past 3 games.  I like stacking him with Greg Jennings AND Charles Johnson for a potential huge lineup.  This also gives you a ton of $$ leftover to pay for Bell, and a Jordy Nelson or Cobb

 

The Texans are the best Defense on the board today, and they are NOT the most expensive.
