FanDuel NFL picks, Week 3: Best DFS picks and lineup
Wide Receivers
Keenan Allen, LAC (vs. HOU), $7,800 – The volume for Allen so far this season has been incredible and you have to love that for fantasy. Against a lacking Houston secondary, he’ll continue to put up big numbers.
Amari Cooper, DAL (vs. MIA), $7,700 – If you’re noticing a theme here, you have to like the notion of a true No. 1 receiver in Amari Cooper absolutely burning the Dolphins for a few big plays, even if he calls it a day early.
Mike Evans, TB (vs. NYG), $7,100 – Evans has been disappointing to start the year but if he’s ever going to have a breakout game in 2019, it’s going to be against a Giants secondary that couldn’t stop a peewee offense at this point.
Adam Thielen, MIN (vs. OAK), $7,000 – Kirk Cousins and the Vikings passing offense has been problematic to this point in the season. However, against the Oakland defense, I like for Thielen to pick them apart and have a nice day.
Kenny Golladay, DET (at PHI), $7,000 – As stated with Stafford, the Philly secondary is problematic right now for a number of reasons. And Golladay is averaging 16.95 points on FanDuel this season, making him an intriguing pick for your lineup at this price.
Tyler Lockett, SEA (vs. NO), $6,600 – If Wilson does look to take shots down the field against this shaky Saints secondary, Lockett is almost surely going to break open a few times with big-play potential.
Marquise Brown, BAL (at KC), $6,100 – Brown isn’t just a flash in the pan, notching eight catches in Week 2 after his two big touchdowns in Week 1. Against the Chiefs in a potential shootout, give me the big-play rookie.
Larry Fitzgerald, ARI (vs. CAR), $5,900 – The Larry Fitz resurgence has been a treat to watch so far this season and Kyler Murray clearly trusts him. He’s always a risk as he’s playing with a rookie quarterback but his consistency and potential for a big game are surely still present.
Devin Smith, DAL (vs. MIA), $5,200 – With Michael Gallup out of the lineup for the Cowboys, Devin Smith will likely slot into the Z-receiver role for Dallas. Against this awful Dolphins team, he could break off some more big plays in the Cowboys passing game.
James Washington, PIT (at SF), $5,200 – A complete gut play here, Mason Rudolph and Washington had a strong connection in college and perhaps the new Steelers quarterback rekindles that against San Francisco on Sunday.
Nelson Agholor, PHI (vs. DET), $4,800 – With DeSean Jackson out and Alshon Jeffery limited, Nelson Agholor could be a WR1 this week in Philly, making him tremendous value at this low price point.
