Week 10 Preview

I feel like the Jacksonville Jaguars at the moment. Plenty of talent, but a team that just can't get out of its own way and is on a severe losing streak. Much like the Jaguars and Jalen Ramsey talking about how bad opposing quarterbacks are, we got a little bit cocky posting high dollar head to head games, questioning opponents decisions etc. This week, we're breaking the trend, simply by going back to how this channel started. I've joined 150 $10 contests throughout this week.

Much like the Jaguars who were on a bye week I took a couple of days completely away from DFS. Monday and most of Tuesday was re-setting after a very frustrating week last week to put up a good team and Adam Thielen aka Mr. Consistency is the reason you lost is tough.

We're on to Week 10.

Quarterback-

This week is a week like no other in the sense that I can legitimately make an argument for about six guys.

Top Options-

Ryan Fitzpatrick- FanDuel Cash/GPP

The Redskins secondary is an absolute mess at the moment. It's looking like Quinton Dunbar might miss as well. This is a unit that is allowing 315 yards passing per game since week 3. They have an elite run d, but their pass defense is really struggling. He is too expensive for me on DraftKings.

Drew Brees- DraftKings Cash/ All GPP's

The Bengals secondary might be the worst in the league at the moment. If you take out two of their games one of which is a game script loss to Carolina where Carolina did not need to throw the ball and a game against Ryan Tannehill who isn't very good, the Bengals have allowed 385 yards passing in all of their other games.

Other Plays
Matt Ryan- DraftKings Cash/ All GPP's
Aaron Rodgers- DraftKings GPP
Baker Mayfield- All GPP's

Running Back-

Top Options

Melvin Gordon- Everywhere
This is a week in which I am plugging Melvin Gordon in every contest. The Raiders can't defend anybody on the ground allowing 5.13 yards per carry on the season to opposing running backs and has lost two of its leaders on the front seven in Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin. Not sure the team has the talent or the will to turn around this sinking ship.

Other Options-
Dion Lewis- All contests- Here's another situation where they did not increase his price after a strong Monday Night Football game.
Mike Davis- If Chris Carson misses, Davis will be a top play of the day, the problem is we likely won't know this until after lineup lock
Alvin Kamara- FanDuel cash, All GPP's
Kareem Hunt- All GPP's
Aaron Jones- FanDuel cash, All GPP's
Mark Ingram- All GPP's
Duke Johnson- DraftKings GPP
David Johnson- DraftKings GPP

Wide Receiver-

Top Options

Michael Thomas- Everywhere
He's going to be extremely popular, but I have a hard time building a lineup that does not have Michael Thomas in it. There is simply too much value at the running back position to not spend up on Thomas in an ideal matchup this week as I already talked about how bad this secondary is.

Marquez Valdez-Scantling- FanDuel Must Play
MVS is emerging as the number two receiver in Green Bay in a great matchup in which Xavien Howard should be taking Davante Adams. He's almost a must play on FanDuel at $5,400 and fade at your own risk.

Other Options-
Josh Gordon- FanDuel Cash- All GPP
Cooper Kupp- FanDuel Cash- All GPP
Marvin Jones- FanDuel Cash-
Maurice Harris- DraftKings Cash Only
Quincy Enunwa- DraftKings Cash/GPP
Corey Davis- FanDuel Cash- All GPP
Larry Fitzgerald- FanDuel Cash Only
Dj Chark- All GPP
Adam Humphries- DraftKings Cash- All GPP

Fading Tyler Boyd this week, he will be popular, but I think his price is far too expensive and not sure he can emerge into a #1 receiver with A.J. Green playing

Tight End-

This is really price dependent, in cash, I'm playing David Njoku on DraftKings and Jordan Reed on FanDuel. Both are fine GPP plays as well.

Other Options-
Trey Burton- All GPP
Jonnu Smith- DraftKings GPP
Jack Doyle- DraftKings GPP

Defense-
In cash, I'm going with either the Saints or the Packers depending on what I can afford. I may replace the Saints with the Buccaneers if the injuries for the Washington offensive line materialize into missing time.

In GPP's, all three are solid plays, and if you want to spend up go with Chicago or Jacksonville.

    1. They'll be back for sure. Trying to change the mojo a bit.

      Who knows maybe we'll do this tomorrow.
