DraftKings NFL picks, Week 3: Best DFS fantasy football values
By Drew DeLuca
DraftKings NFL Week 3 values: Wide Receivers
There is a ton of terrific value at the wide receiver position this week. In addition to Cooper, Lamb, Metcalf, and Lockett, we like Chris Godwin (TB at DEN, $6,700) in his return to the lineup against a banged-up Denver Broncos defense.
Allen Robinson (CHI at ATL, $6,200) had a disappointing Week 2, dropping his price and generating quite the value proposition for NFL DFS sharks in Week 3 against a highly suspect Atlanta Falcons defense that has coughed up 78 points in just two games. Robinson is clearly a Top Ten wide receiver in any fantasy football format this week, and overs the distinct possibility of an overall WR1 finish.
Keenan Allen (LAC vs. CAR, $6,100) had ten passes thrown his way from rookie quarterback Justin Herbert last week, establishing himself as the youngster’s preferred target. With Taylor out thanks to a team doctor-induced punctured lung (yes, you read that right), Allen should once again see double-digit targets.
Corey Davis (TEN at MIN, $5,200) is finally…FINALLY…coming into his own as fantasy football factor. With A.J. Brown likely to sit out his second straight game, Davis makes an attractive, dependable option in a favorable matchup, especially at his price point.
Bargain bin options we like this week include a pair of New York Giants wide receivers: Darius Slayton (NYG vs SF, $4,900) and Golden Tate (NYG vs SF, $4,500), the latter of whom caught all five of his targets in his first game back from injury. These two can be paired in a GPP lineup with quarterback Daniel Jones (NYG vs SF, $5,500); with the Patriots Defense/Special Teams selected (see below), this trio of Giants allows an average of $6,380 to be spent per player on the running back, tight end, and WR3 slots. Yes, please.
