Salary: $50,000 12 games Sunday-Monday
GCF DFS Picks
QB: Matthew Stafford (6,700) Matt Stafford has not been himself the past couple games. Yes he has had good fantasy games but he just looks a little off with his receivers. I expect this to be a get right game for him against a beat up Giants team. Look for Stafford to put up monster numbers this week and blow out a Giants team who are falling apart.
RB: D’andre Swift (6,300) Swift has been looking great as of late. I expect him to keep it going against a terrible run defense in Cincy. He is too involved in the receiving game to not break off a big play once a game. Look for Swift to continue being a great do it all back this week against the Bengals.
RB2: Chuba Hubbard (5,900) Here we are again! CMC ruled out and Chuba is going to step right in and fill his role and being this cheap after a pretty big game last week we have to play him. Get him in your lineups and expect Darnold to keep targeting him and utilizing him as a true workhorse or as I like to call him CMC Lite.
WR1: Jamarr Chase (6,700) All this guy does is catch touchdowns, but not just touchdowns, long touchdown bombs!! He is shutting all the haters up and the Lions will keep his hot streak going. I expect him to have another big game seeing 10 targets last week showing he is a true No.1 WR.
WR2: Jakobi Meyers (5,500) Jakobi Meyers has been a target monster for Mac Jones. Mac Jones enjoys funneling targets his way and Meyers has a pretty safe floor. I see a pretty high ceiling though in this game. Going up against Dallas I expect them to be down and needing to throw the ball. Meyers should have a good game and is priced as a WR3 but I see WR2 borderline WR1 numbers in this one.
WR3: Michael Pittman (5,500) Pittman looks like a beast and I see Wentz utilizing him like a better Alshon Jeffrey for him. We all know how much Wentz loved targeting him and I see Pittman keeping his hot streak going into game 2. The Pittman show should continue in Indy against a hopeless Texans team. FIre him up and expect a big game from him.
TE: Ricky Seals-Jones (3,000) This guy came out of nowhere again which he sometimes does!! This time I feel he is here to stay with Logan Thomas expected out at the time of writing this. He slid right into that role and by going cheap at TE we can spend up elsewhere. I look for the WFT to be down in this one and Seals-Jones will be a beneficiary from this catch up game.
FLEX: Chase Claypool (6,600) Claypool had a great game last week with the injury to JuJu. I expect him and Dionate to both eat in this game but I lean slightly toward Claypool because I expect a long TD from him. He is due for a 70 yard bomb from Ben. Claypool should have a solid floor but unbelievable ceiling here against a struggling Seahawks team.
DEFENSE: IND Colts (3,500) The Colts are going to be coming off a loss to the Ravens which should have never happened. The team is getting healthy and starting to settle in. I think the Colts come out and smash the Texans this week. Fire them up at a good price point here.
The biggest value this week is Ceedee Lamb at 6,500! He has been good but not great since the explosive week 1. I think his price is driven down based off of his meh last couple weeks. This is just a steal at 6,500 especially because Amari Cooper will most likely draw JC Jackson. Lamb should be Dak’s go to again and show everyone why he is the best Cowboys receiver.
The QB/WR stack to have this week 6 is Mr. Joe Burrow (6,300) and Jamarr Chase (6,700). These two look like they are back at LSU and just destroying secondary’s. A combined price of 13,000 is a steal for a true QB1 and WR1 with such great chemistry. I expect them to come out firing on all cylinders and put up major points this week.
