FanDuel NFL picks, Week 3: Best DFS picks and lineup

FanDuel NFL picks for Week 3 looking at the optimal options at each position and price point, in addition to creating an ideal lineup for DFS players.

Through the first two weeks of the 2019 season, FanDuel NFL and other DFS lineups have been quite fascinating in regards to their success. We’ve seen big performances from the likes of John Ross, Demarcus Robinson and many others in fantasy football — just like no one expected. That’s how daily fantasy football goes, though.

Coming into every week, there’s only so much that you can do when figuring out your FanDuel NFL picks. There are always going to be a handful of breakout players that are nearly impossible to see coming. All we can do when trying to build a DFS lineup, though, is look at the matchups, the opportunity and the projected workload for players and figure out who is enticing.

Even with that strategy, though, there are a litany of ways that you can build your FanDuel NFL lineup. Some of it is based on your personal feelings about players while it can also be about where you choose to allocate big portions of your budget and where you try to find value. So for Week 3, we’re going to do that once again.

Looking through all of the options on FanDuel NFL contests, we’re going to go position-by-position and look at the options that I prefer for Week 3 DFS play with brief explanations as to why I like those players. They will range from the top-tier players at the position to potential value plays that you could utilize for your lineup.

Then, when we’re through every position for these options in fantasy football, we’ll then build what I believe is the ideal FanDuel NFL lineup for Week 3 and discuss that a bit as well. Now that we’ve got all of the particulars out of the way, let’s get into it, starting with quarterbacks.

Note: These picks are for Sunday main slate competitions, meaning no Sunday or Monday Night Football.
