Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 9 on DraftKings

The fellas from The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 9 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com.

For a more comprehensive take on this week’s matchups, beyond DraftKings, check out our Fantasy Forecast podcast, featuring Rollin and Adam.

QB

ROLLIN: Colin Kaepernick ($7,000)
The real-life Gonzo had a down week against one of the best secondaries in the NFL when the 49ers traveled to Denver. But you can expect a quick turnaround against one of the league’s worst in the Rams.

Just three weeks ago, he put up 34.42 points—mostly in the second half—against this team in St. Louis. This time, he’ll be doing his thing by the Bay. The best part is that he is $200 less than he was in Week 6. Don’t hesitate on this one.

ADAM: Andy Dalton ($6,300) 
I assure this is not a "he’s playing Jacksonville, so he is a must-go." Our favorite ginger did it last week with his feet. With reports of AJ Green coming back this week, Andy is poised for a big game.

For the money I don’t think he can be beat.

ALLEN: Carson Palmer ($6,800) 
Palmer will look to exploit a defense that made Colt McCoy look like a decent player in the second half of the Monday night game.

RB

ROLLIN: Alfred Morris ($3,900)
OK. I’ll admit I may be drinking a little too much of that Redskins Kool-Aid this week after a huge win over Dallas in Big D. But Morris looked more like The Butler of old, seeing all the seams and hitting the holes harder than Ron Jeremy (too much?).

He probably won’t be that top-notch running back he used to be until RGIII returns and defenses have to worry about two runners. But I like this matchup against a Vikings squad that is allowing anyone not wearing a Buccaneers jersey run on them.

ADAM: LeSean McCoy $5200 
Before the bye, Shady put up 149 on the ground against the Giants. Facing the best run defense in the league (Arizona), he still managed to put up 83 yards and another 14 on 3 receptions.

For $5,200 dollars, and taking on a Texan team that is ranked 18th in the league against the run, this is a money play.

ALLEN: LeSean McCoy ($5,200) 
Shady is just about back. And with limited use from Sproles expected again, look for Shady to continue to get back into form.

WR

ROLLIN: Odell Beckham, Jr ($5,000)
I really like this young rookie’s tools. He’s very agile and quick for his size, has a Manning tossing him the rock, and no Salsa to gobble up targets.

My only concern is that he still isn’t compiling yardage the way fantasy owners would prefer. He does have three scores in three games, though. And the Football Giants will be taking on a defense that got burned historically by Big Ben last week.

ADAM: DeAndre Hopkins ($5,400)
I love the Eagles. But I hate their secondary.

With 11 targets last week, I expect Hopkins to be a great value this week versus a defense that gives up an average of 267 yards a game through the air.

ALLEN: DeAndre Hopkins ($5,400)
Hopkins will play a crucial role in a game where the Texans will have to throw the ball in order to keep up with the fast-paced Eagles.

TE

ROLLIN: Jordan Reed ($4,400)
Reed’s price is going to keep rising, so snatch him up while he is low. The kid is a near guarantee for 10+ in each and every game. If the Redskins finally decide to start tossing the ball his way in the first half of games, he’s going to blow up.

Not only does he have a penchant for breaking tackles, he was, hands down, the best end zone target for the Redskins last year. That shouldn’t have changed.

As a side note, if you have the extra dough, follow Cav’s advice on Julius Thomas. He’s laid two turds in a row, Bennett just lit up the Pats with 6 for 95 and a score last week, and in the playoffs last season, Thomas finished with 8 catches for 85 yards in the victory over the Brady Bunch.

ADAM: Julius Thomas ($5,600) 
This is the cheapest he has been all season long.

There is a lot of love to spread around in Denver this year. But going against a Pats team that is pretty stingy against wide receivers should leave more opportunity for Julius Thomas to get those safe passes.

ALLEN: Jordan Reed ($4,400)
Reed has been the most reliable target for the Redskins when he is healthy, and right now he is.  Ride this train until it crashes again.

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 8 on DraftKings

For our Fantasy Forecast podcast, the fellas at The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 8 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com. And we were even nice enough to write it down for you, too.

QB

ROLLIN: Teddy Bridgewater ($5,100)
I’m fully aware the rookie hasn’t eclipsed 10 points on DraftKings the last two weeks, but consider the competition—Buffalo and Detroit. This week, he’s taking on a quarterback-friendly defense in the Tampa Bay Bucs.

I expect the youngster to finish closer to his 26.38 line against the Falcons in Week 4.

ADAM: Nick Foles ($6,300)
Last year after the bye week, Nick Foles tied an NFL record with 7 touchdowns. I don’t think that will happen again this year, but Arizona—though improving—is still weak against the pass. For $6,300, I think he is going to have a huge week.

RB

ROLLIN: Jerick McKinnon ($4,900)
McKinnon and Bridgewater will offer a balanced attack against the porous Tampa D. Where Teddy has failed in the last two weeks, Jerick has still produced with 15.1 and 14.2 points. Like Teddy B, I expect him to land somewhere in the Falcon zone of 19.2.

ADAM: Justin Forsett ($5,100)
Finally, there may be a clear choice for the Baltimore backfield. With a majority of the carries going to Forsett, he is poised for a break out game versus Cincy, who is ranked 30th in rush defense this year.

My only concern is that Bernard Pierce may vulture some of those close-range TDs.

WR

ROLLIN: Sammy Watkins ($5,700)
The Clemson sensation is finally making his mark in the pros behind the steady arm of Kyle Raymond Orton. Minnesota has been pretty solid against the pass this season, but ol’ Sammy still lit up the scoreboard with 36.2 points.

The Jets have been playing better all-around of late, but Dr. Watkins will find a way to produce.

ADAM: Dez Bryant ($6,900)
No, that is not a typo. $6,900 for Dez Bryant. His value is down almost $600 from last week. Washington may have a decent pass D, but over the last five weeks they are ranked 26th against wide receivers.

TE

ROLLIN: Jimmy Graham ($5,700)
It isn’t often you see Jimmy Graham at this price on DraftKings, and it’s with good reason. He’s been disappointingly unproductive this season and is coming off a shoulder injury. On top of that, he’s playing a Packers defense that is allowing the fifth-fewest yards passing this season.

However, Green Bay has given up 100-plus yards to tight ends the two times it has faced decent ones (Chicago and Carolina). Don’t miss out on Graham’s comeback tour while he’s cheap.

ADAM: Jared Cook ($3,400)
Please let Austin Davis get it together this week and find Cook. KC is ranked 24th against tight ends for the past three weeks. Cook is still getting a lot of targets, and as we have said in the past: Targets are opportunities.

D/ST

ROLLIN: Patriots ($2,800)
Chicago and Cutler are having their share of issues, apparently extending all the way to the locker room. I don’t have a great deal of faith in this one with the weapons the Bears deploy.

But if you’re bargain hunting, the Pats D could be a good filler.

ADAM: Minnesota Vikings ($2,600)
Just looking for value here. There are a couple of more teams I would actually spend money on if you have it left.

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 7 on DraftKings

For our Fantasy Forecast podcast, the fellas at The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 7 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com. And we were even nice enough to write it down for you, too.


QB

ROLLIN: Joe Flacco ($7,700)
$7,700 isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s $2,000 less than the top guy, Andrew Luck. We saw how he dismantled the Bucs with five touchdowns in the first half last week. And he has another favorable matchup coming against the Falcons.

I’m not a Flacco guy, but he has a knack for going on streaks and luck usually falls his way during those periods. I think one just started last Sunday.

Be smart. Ride the Flucko train while it lasts and make some cash.

ADAM: Colin Kaepernick ($6,500) 
In real life this rat-faced fink gives me the creeps, but this is fantasy and not real life. And although this game is in Mile High stadium, I expect it to be a shootout.  Against a Broncos defense that gives up an average of 241 yards per game in the air, this is a tremendous value.

Brian Hoyer ($5,600)
If you can find a better way to spend $5,600 please let me know. The Jags are dead last against the pass. Hoyer plays great against the South, with three touchdowns versus the Titans already this year.

ALLEN: Tony Romo ($7,200)
After beating Seattle on the road, Romo should be able to follow that up with an even better show at home versus the divisional foe.


RB

ROLLIN: Justin Forsett ($5,600)
Despite his limited carries, Forsett has still produced well in fantasy, thanks in part to great hands out of the backfield and 7.45 yards per carry over the last two games. If he gets more reps, he will be a fantasy beast.

But even at low reps, he’s been about as consistent as they come at this price tag. Oh and, again, the Ravens are playing the Falcons.

ADAM: Fred Jackson ($5,500)
The sky is blue, the grass is green and Fred Jackson is day to day. Well he has been that way all season, all season he has played and has been as steady as she goes. Also, the Vikes give up an average of 118 yards on the ground and 213 through the air.

Steady Freddie gives you points through both.

Lamar Miller ($5,300)
Knowshawn is out for the year so Miami’s running back by committee has become a committee of one. With most of touches going to him now. Although this number will drop with Miller receiving more touches, he is currently 3rd in league with an average of 5.2 yards per carry.

ALLEN: Alfred Morris ($4,700)
Morris has been lacking the touches needed to be a fantasy stud so far this year, but there is not going to be a better week for him to bounce back.


WR

ROLLIN: Andre Johnson ($5,200)
The once-fantasy-superstar of the Texans finally found the end zone last week in a tough game against the Colts. Considering what the Browns did to Pittsburg last week, and the Texans becoming more willing to pass the rock, I love the Johnson play at this price.

ADAM: Golden Tate ($5,900)
Will Calvin play, will he not? Either way, the Saints even coming off a bye are allowing almost 270 through the air. This is probably going to be one of the best matchups Mr. Tate will see this year.

Andre Holmes ($4,800)
This kid has been getting better and better every week. Last week he hauled in four catches for 121 yards and two TDs. I can’t explain why Arizona can’t stop the pass but they are Jacksonville-esque when it comes to this. Breakout game for this guy. Next week his salary will go to the mid-$5,000 range, if not more.

ALLEN: Michael Floyd ($5,000)
Floyd will be back to his productive self now with a full week of Carson Palmer being the known starter going into the weekend.  A friendly matchup doesn’t hurt here either.

Kelvin Benjamin ($5,600)
In a game that the Panthers will have to throw the ball to try and keep up with the Packers, Benjamin and Cam Newton will have to have some success.


TE

ROLLIN: Jordan Reed ($5,000)
Here’s a fantasy superstar in the making, if he can ever stay on the field. He played an entire game for the first time this season against Arizona and produced 17.2 points.

Kirk Cousins may not be able to win games, but he knows how to rack up fantasy points for tight ends.

ADAM: Larry Donell ($3,500)
The Salsa dancing is done for Cruz for the year. All that means is more targets for Larry. Although this TE has laid two turds in a row, this is going to be a big week for him. Dallas’ defense, although not as putrid as everybody thought they were going to be, does like to give up big plays to tight ends.
Jared Cook ($3,600)
Fantasy is a numbers game, and Mr. Cook has 30 targets over the last three games, with a team-high 42 on the season. Jarrod has been good with at least four receptions and 44 receiving yards in every game.

ALLEN: Jordan Cameron ($4,600)
After finally seeming to come out of his shell this past weekend, Cameron is set to explode against the Jags in a very good matchup.


D/ST

ROLLIN: Texans ($3,200)
JJ Watt keeps getting sacks and scoring touchdowns. And the Steelers just keep on sucking. That’s a great combination by itself for 3,200 bones. Add in the possible return of Jadeveon Clowney and we just might see the perfect storm.

ADAM: Browns ($3,000)
It’s Jacksonville. Enough said.

ALLEN: Cardinals ($3,400)
All about the matchup here…

Fantasy Football: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 6 on DraftKings

In our first edition of our Fantasy Forecast podcast, the fellas at The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 6 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com. And we were even nice enough to write it down for you, too.


QB

ROLLIN: Russell Wilson ($7,600)
The Dallas defense hasn’t been its usual atrocious self by any means, but it’s going to have to find a way to survive in Seattle against the dual-threat quarterback. He isn’t going to get you the 37.24 points he earned fantasy owners on Monday night every week, but he is about as consistent as they come for the price tag.

Oh, and he managed 24.02 points against a pretty stout Denver secondary in Week 3.

ADAM: Eli Manning ($7,800)
The Eagles have given up big yards against many QBs that aren't as good as King Manning face. Truth be told, Eli is starting to click with this new offense, and I expect him to have a big game in what could be an NFC East shootout.

Nick Foles ($6,500)
Foles price has dropped almost $2000 dollars from last week. Going against the 25th ranked pass defense in the league, and another week with the offense line hopefully starting to gel, good ol' Napoleon Dynamite may have a week that can only be described as SWEET.

This can also leave you some of that cash for a dynamic high dollar player or two.

ALLEN: Nick Foles ($6,800)
The Eagles will surely try and get the run game going. And with some success on the ground, Foles should have field day against the Giants.


RB

ROLLIN: Branden Oliver ($5,500)
There are some guys I like that are cheaper than Branden Oliver, thanks to his 37.2 points against the Jets last week. But this kid is for real, and appears to be getting more action each week.

The kid gets it done on the ground and in the air, and slices up defenses like one of Rivers’ past favorites, Darren Sproles. Bank on another big one against an Oakland team with a new coach…in San Diego.

ADAM: Branden Oliver ($5,500)
Ryan Matthews day to day, Donald Brown concussed, and going against the Oakland Raiders who couldn't stop a nose bleed on the ground. I don’t think No. 43, and no not Darren Sproles, will have the week he had last week. But at 5,500 bucks you need him in your lineup.

Fred Jackson ($5,000)
Old Man River is consistent as the day is long. I don’t even know why they give C.J. Spiller the ball. For five grand, where else you going to find a guy who gives 15 points-plus every week.

ALLEN: CJ Spiller ($5,300)
Against a New England team that hasn't been themselves this year, Spiller could have a huge day with Fred Jackson being limited...if even playing at all.


WR

ROLLIN: DeSean Jackson ($4,900)
A model of consistency, DeSean Jackson is not. But I’m seeing a connection form between the little guy and Captain Kirk that can’t be denied. He’ll also be going up against an Arizona defense that will be limping into Sunday’s game.

Be warned, though: This is a risky proposition. Jackson has followed up each of his double-digit performances with singles. And the game is being played in the desert.

Then again, if the Cards have to go with their third-string quarterback, Logan Thomas, Jackson may have ample opportunity to snatch a couple deep ones.

ADAM: DeSean Jackson ($4,900)
Did you realize the Cardinals have one of the worst pass defenses this year? Yeah, neither did I until I read\ they give up almost 300 ypg. D-Jax hits home runs, and for less than five grand he might be worth taking a swing at.

Alshon Jeffery ($6,500)
With Brandon Marshall a question mark—and Atlanta being the 24th ranked pass defense in the league—as long as Jay Cutler has a candy bar before the game and can keep his sugar in check, this may be the last time you see a WR of this caliber this cheap.

ALLEN: Alshon Jeffery ($6,500)
With an injury to Brandon Marshall and a very friendly matchup against the Falcons, Alshon will have an amazing week.


TE

ROLLIN: Niles Paul ($4,800)
You won’t see me put two Redskins on this list very often, and I wouldn’t advise playing both DeSean Jackson and Niles Paul. However, Monday was the only time Paul hasn’t seen consistent targets from Cousins.

Everything I said about Arizona’s gimpy defense applies here.

ADAM: Owen Daniels ($4,300)
Not much to say here. He should get lots of targets against a Bucs defense that likes to give up points in the air.

Delanie Walker ($5,300)
Well, he's playing the Jags so there is what you need to know.

ALLEN: Greg Olsen ($5,700)
Being the only guy consistently catching passing from Newton, Olsen should be a weekly play in all leagues.


D/ST

ROLLIN: Broncos ($3,100)
You have to be careful how much you spend on a defense when picking your DraftKings lineup. It usually takes touchdowns to separate a defense in scoring.

But Denver has an outstanding and deep secondary that will cause plenty of problems for the Jets offense. Geno Smith may be looking for a movie theater to hide in after this one.

ADAM: Lions ($3,300)
I like this defense to bounce back from a tough loss last week. Going against either a rookie QB or Christian Ponder.

ALLEN: Broncos ($3,100)
Playing against a New York Jets team that is lost offensively, the Broncos should have an amazing day on defense.

Fantasy Forecast: Best Value Plays for NFL Week 5

In our first edition of our Fantasy Forecast, the fellas at The Low Blow Sports Show have compiled their best values for Week 5 of the NFL for one-day/week fantasy football on DraftKings.com. If you haven't played yet, now is the time to jump in! Just type in promo code "lowblow" for one free entry and DraftKings will also double your deposit.

Rollin's Picks

QB

Eli Manning ($7,500)
• Ol’ Eli may only be averaging 19.9 FPPG this season, but don’t let that fool you
• His 36.1 points last week may have been against the woeful Redskins, but he is actually facing a worse pass defense in the Falcons
• Falcons rank 30th in the league, giving up 276 yards per game through the air
• Only concern is they’ve only given up 3 passing TDs thus far, but they also just gave up 317 yards to a rookie quarterback in purple

RB

Ahmad Bradshaw ($4,000)
• I like Giovani Bernard against the Pats in the under 7 grand bracket, but the best value may be Ahmad Bradshaw
• Richardson is still getting more carries, despite the fact Bradshaw has been way more effective, averaging 2.1 more yards per carry
• BUT Bradshaw is Andrew Luck’s best friend out of the backfield, hauling in 14 receptions for 134 yards and 4 touchdowns
• The Colts are facing a stingy run defense in the Ravens, but they allowed a couple other pass-catching backs, Bernard and Bell, 62 and 48 yards receiving, respectively
• Bradshaw shouldn’t be your RB1, but he’s a solid RB2 or flex in a penny pinch

WR

Kelvin Benjamin ($4,800)/Percy Harvin ($6,100)
• This is where I’m torn
• For the value, it doesn’t get much better than Kelvin Benjamin under $5k.
• And he’s facing a Chicago team that has given up the 6th-most points to fantasy receivers

• But then there is Percy Harvin, who has been less than spectacular at 13.1 FPPG for just over $6k
• Why do I like him this week? He’s slippery as hell, and facing a Redskins defense that can’t tackle worth a damn and is really missing D. Hall in the secondary
• Short throws will be big gains in this matchup
• On top of that, Harvin is one of the deadliest returners in the game with 6 career TDs, still waiting on his first this season, and facing a Washington team that has already given up a touchdown and is allowing a league-worst 35 yards per kick return

TE

Heath Miller ($4,000)
• Heath Miller was off to a slow start this season, but he hauled in 10 catches for 85 yards and a touchdown last week against Tampa Bay
• This week, he’s facing a Jacksonville team that has given up touchdowns to 4 different opposing tight ends this season, along with 84 yards per game

DST

Chargers ($3,100)/Eagles ($3,300)
• Tied for 2nd in the NFL with a +5 turnover differential (2 INT, 4 FUM)
• Jets tied for last place with a -5 turnover differential (5 INT, 2 FUM)
• With Rivers clicking, the Chargers could run up the score, forcing the Jets into a passing situation that will open the door for Geno Smith to be a typical Jets quarterback

• Philly isn’t quite as spectacular in turnover differential, as it has coughed the ball up 9 times already this season
• But the Eagles turned 5 turnovers into 2 touchdowns so far this season
• Rams are ranked 25th in the league, giving up 26.4 yards per kick return

• Eagles average 32.9 yards on kick returns, 15.4 on punt returns, and have a touchdown in each category…that’s 4 DST touchdowns in 4 games!
