DraftKings NFL picks, Week 4: Best DFS picks and lineup
Running Backs
Christian McCaffrey, CAR (at HOU), $8,800 – McCaffrey doesn’t have a good matchup but he’s incredible when he has the ball and he’s been getting it a lot. With Kyle Allen still starting, you have to like the odds that CMC could go off again and be worth the price.
Austin Ekeler, LAC (at MIA), $8,000 – Use Ekeler while you can, right? He’s averaging 26.3 points on DraftKings this season and, against the lowly Dolphins, he should be able to do whatever wants for however long he’s on the field.
Mark Ingram, BAL (vs. CLE), $6,600 – The Browns defense has not been great against the run this season, even if they’ve been fine. Ingram, however, has been a stud, averaging 24.6 fantasy points in DFS through the first three weeks. He may not score three times again but he’ll be productive.

Marlon Mack, IND (vs. OAK), $6,100 – With no T.Y. Hilton for the Colts, I love Mack this week. He’s been a productive and consistent runner and has been involved in the passing game. Expect heavy work and nice production from the back in Week 4.
Kerryon Johnson, DET (vs. KC), $5,400 – Johnson has been highly disappointing this season. But if you believe that the Lions and Chiefs are going to produce a ton of points, Johnson may still be worth the inclusion in your lineup.
Josh Jacobs, OAK (at IND), $5,100 – The workload has been light for Jacobs recently with the Raiders playing from behind. They may be losing but not by a lot in this game, which means a bounce-back week for the running back.
James White, NE (at BUF), $4,900 – White returns to action in a game where quick passes may be highly effective. That means a huge PPR opportunity for the Patriots’ best pass-catcher out of the backfield with Rex Burkhead banged up as well.
Darrel Williams, KC (at DET), $4,700 – No Damien Williams and a limited LeSean McCoy could mean big opportunities and big plays for Darrel Williams, who amassed 109 total yards on just 14 touches last week in relief duty.
Wayne Gallman, NYG (at WAS), $4,600 – Do I believe that Gallman is a good NFL player? No. Do I know that he’s the starting running back for a team up against a bad defense? Yes. So he’s worth noting at the very least.
Chris Thompson, WAS (at NYG), $4,500 – Cheap PPR monsters are always valuable on DraftKings and Thompson is big in that regard with 23 targets on the year. He’ll be used quite a bit on Sunday and could provide great value.
