Quarterback

Lamar Jackson, BAL (at KC), $8,500 – Jackson has been phenomenal to start the 2019 season, posting 33.56 points in FanDuel in Week 1 and following that up with 30.88 last week. Now against a porous Chiefs defense in a game where he could be trying to keep up, he’s liable to go off.

More from NFL Spin Zone

Dak Prescott, DAL (vs. MIA), $8,400 – Kellen Moore has taken Dak Prescott to new heights, averaging 31.03 points in DFS scoring through two weeks. The one worry here is that he’s on the bench by the third quarter — but against Miami, he may have already topped 30 points again by that point.

Russell Wilson, SEA (vs. NO), $7,600 – Looking for a little more value here, Wilson is up against a Saints defense that’s been quite mediocre (or bad) to this point that’s also probably a bit deflated given the Brees injury. He could torch them deep and in the middle of the field consistently.

Josh Allen, BUF (vs. CIN), $7,500 – A perennial value play at quarterback, Allen still leaves a lot to be desired as a real-life quarterback. However, his deep passing and rushing ability make him viable, especially against the lowly Bengals.

Matthew Stafford, DET (at PHI), $6,900 – If you’re looking for value, I love Stafford this week. He’s going up against an ailing Eagles secondary and has averaged 22.35 points in FanDuel through two weeks. He could be a fantasy darling this week.

Kyle Allen, CAR (at ARI), $6,000 – The ultimate flyer, I don’t believe in Allen all that much. However, the Cardinals defense is far from fearsome and Allen is starting with weapons around him.
