Injuries at the quarterback position have taken over as the dominant fantasy story line as we approach week three of the NFL season. I am not going to mention who is out. You should already know. Honestly, if you are reading this you should be well aware of the injuries. A few years ago finding out information or practice reports was very difficult. Now, I get that information sent to my phone with zero effort. In a game with incomplete information, knowledge is key. Unlike the NBA where timing can matter a great deal, here in the NFL we should know everything ahead of time. I mentioned in my post the other day what we know about the NFL after two weeks. How can we take advantage of what we know and use it to be profitable in DFS? That is the key.
My week three player pool.
Quarterback
Josh Allen – Everyone is carving up the Bengals and Allen is next on the list.
Kyle Allen – I do not know anything about him, but he is 4k on Draft Kings and everyone is scoring on the Cardinals.
Mahomes – Do I need to tell you to play him?
Lamar – This is the week I stack him and I do not see how he fails.
Mason – Ohhhh, sneaky play since the Steelers cannot run the ball.
Running Back
CMC – No Cam, lock for a ton of touches.
Dalvin Cook – Massive home favorite and should get 20+ carries in a great spot.
Marlon Mack – If healthy love him in this spot.
DJ – This game is sneaky and I like it.
Ekeler – Take away his fumble at the one and he smashes even more last week. Getting top end usage without the price.
Barkley – Offense can only get better.
Wide Receiver
Tyler Boyd – If you need to run back your Bills stack.
John Brown – Continues to exceed his price with Josh Allen.
AGO – The Eagles have almost no healthy WR. He is $3600 on Draft Kings.
Hollywood Brown – Think they throw against the Chiefs?
Sammy Watkins – After let down last week, the targets are still there.
DJ Moore – Targets are there every week.
Larry Fitz – I am starting to believe in this offense.
Kirk – GAME STACK IS IN PLAY.
Ty Hilton – At home against the Falcons secondary.
James Washington – They can’t play Donte Concrete again can they?
Keenan Allen – Target monster at home in a competitive game.
Tight End
Ertz – Eagles have no one to throw to.
Waller – Always in play.
Mark Andrews – If he is healthy I want him.
George Kittle – Steelers were crushed by the TE last week.
Defense
New England – They saved me last week.
Dallas – Paying up for defense feels so wrong.
I said it last week and will say it again; defense is so random that paying up for the position has been wrong. However, these are unusual situations. Favorites of this size are not normal. It is going to be chalky to pay up for defense this week, so maybe it makes sense to not do that. This is my plan as of right now! I am sure it will change as the weekend continues. When making stacks, remember that they should tell the game story you think will happen. Good luck everyone.
