The Fuego Pit – Week 4 NFL GPP Plays

QUARTERBACKS Marcus Mariota – Mariota I like as a low owned play with upside this week. DeShaun Watson (DraftKings mainly) – A good play especially at $5100 on DraftKings. He will be somewhat popular after a good outing at New England last week. I love quarterbacks that can get points running the ball as well as passing. Carson Palmer – Since David Johnson went down, Palmer has had two excellent games passing the ball. He threw the ball 48 times last week versus the Cowboys. I doubt he throws that much regularly, but they will have to rely more on the passing game now. HIGH RISK/HIGH REWARD Tyrod Taylor – Taylor is another low-priced quarterback with running ability. At only $5300, he can easily hit 3X which would be 16 points. He had a good game last week versus a tough Denver defense. He was 20 for 26 for 213 yards and two touchdowns. With limited offensive weapons on the Bills, if they are going to keep the game close versus Atlanta they need Taylor to be the man. Other QBs in play – Matt Ryan, Dak Prescott, Russell Wilson (Fanduel main), Tom Brady Value QBs – DeShaun Watson, Tyrod Taylor, Trevor Siemian   RUNNING BACKS Devonte Freeman – I love both running backs in the Atlanta/Buffalo game. The Falcons seem committed to Freeman being the lead back. He is averaging 17 carries and two receptions a game and has scored four touchdowns. If Atlanta is leading, he will run the ball. If Atlanta is trailing, he will catch the ball. Fire him up in all formats. LeSean McCoy – McCoy is the other running back I love in this game. He is my favorite running back play of the week. We all know how the Falcons struggle against running backs catching the ball out of the backfield. McCoy is one of the best at doing just that. He has caught 18 of his 20 targets through the first three games. That is nearly seven targets, six receptions and 44 yards a game. That’s a ten-point floor right there. Unfortunately, sometimes he gets taken out in goal line situations. Last week it backfired for the Bills, and I expect him to see some goal line work this week. Ezekiel Elliott – Zeke will be one of, if not the most popular running back play of the week. He bounced back nicely on national television after a horrendous outing in Denver. Recency bias is real in DFS and people will be all on board this week. He should have another big game versus the Rams at home. HIGH RISK/HIGH REWARD Mike Gillislee –  I think New England gets up early versus the Panthers and lean on Gillislee in the second half. Cam Newton is struggling, and should do so again trying to keep up with Brady and the Pats. Look for Gillislee to get in the end zone and eat some clock late in the game. However, this is the Patriots we are talking about, so who knows if James White gets used more or they just throw the ball all day. Hence, why he is in the high risk/high reward category this week. Other RBs in play – L. Bell, C.J. Anderson, D. Cook, C. McCaffrey Value RBs – J. Mixon, W. Smallwood, T. Riddick, B. Powell   WIDE RECEIVERS Julio Jones – This is the week Julio breaks out and finally gets in the end zone. The Bills have a tough defense, so I don’t think it will be a cake walk. However, he exploded last year in week 4 and maybe he just needs to get warmed up. Unfortunately, he has only two red-zone targets this season. Fortunately, he doesn’t need to be in the red zone to score. A long touchdown this week is definitely a possibility. Dez Bryant – Bryant has had some tough matchups to start the season and still has performed admirably. He gets a much easier matchup this week against a Rams defense that just got torched by Brian Hoyer of all people. If not playing Zeke, Dez paired with Prescott is a good stack this week. Larry Fitzgerald – After two subpar weeks to start the year, Fitz had a huge bounce back week against the Cowboys. He was targeted 15 times, catching 13 balls for 149 yards and a touchdown scoring almost 37 DK points. He gets the 49ers defense who were just shredded by Jared Goff, Sammy Watkins and the Rams. Look for another big game from the old man this week versus San Francisco. HIGH RISK/HIGH REWARD Brandin Cooks – Once again New England is in a situation they should dominate. They were supposed to do that last week and we were off Cooks. I could see Cooks having a big game early, and then the Patriots run the ball. He finally got on the same page as Brady last week and will look to build on that. Other WRs in play – M. Evans, E. Sanders, D. Thomas, K. Allen, A. Thielen Value WRs – T. Benjamin, M. Goodwin, J. Matthews, E. Decker, Ty. Williams, C. Kupp   TIGHT ENDS Charles Clay – Clay has been Tyrod Taylors main target outside of McCoy. He had six catches last week for 39 yards and a touchdown. That is two of three games he has reached 15 DraftKings points. He has a good matchup against the Falcons on Sunday and I should get to that 15 points again. Kyle Rudolph – This week he should finally break out. Look for Diggs to be slowed down. Evan Engram – Has at least four catches and 40 yards in each of the first three games. HIGH RISK/HIGH REWARD Rob Gronkowski – Same reason he is risk as Brandin Cooks. Also, super expensive on Fanduel Other TEs in play – E. Ebron, D. Walker, J. Cook Value TEs – C. Brate, J. James, T. Kroft   DEFENSE Cincinnati Bengals vs. Browns – Should be the chalk defense
