FanDuel Lineup For Week 2

Well last week my FanDuel picks for the NFL were not very good. This week however, I feel like I will bounce back nicely. Things in the NFL are starting to normalize pretty quickly and barring injuries I expect that this lineup should be good to get you into the money.

Quarterback:

Carson Palmer, Cardinals ($7,800): Palmer is coming off of a week where he threw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. He should be in store for a pretty good week against the Bears passing defense.

Running Backs:

Matt Forte, Bears ($8,900): Forte is always a threat to do some major damage. The Cardinals allowed a ton of passing yards to backs in week 1 and should be no different in week 2 with Forte racking up the fantasy points.

Tevin Coleman, Falcons ($6,500): Coleman was unleashed in week one with 20 carries and two targets in the passing game. He finished with 80 yards and no catches, but he showed some nice ability and should he find his way to the end zone will be a fantasy stud for week 2.

    • Wide Receivers:

    DeAndre Hopkins, Texans ($8,100): Hopkins is a player who is on the verge of being a huge breakout type of player. Last week he hauled in 9 catches for 98 yards and two touch downs. He should be a solid play against the Panthers this Sunday.

    Jordan Matthews, Eagles ($7,000): Matthews is an a super high-octane offense that gets off a ton of plays. I expect him to continue what he had going on last week as he hauled in 10 catches for 102 yards. No reason to believe he won’t continue to be a huge factor in that eagles offense.

    Pierre Garcon, Redskins ($5,400): At this price it is hard not to use Garcon this week. With the absence of DeSean Jackson, Garcon should be a target hog and be able to rack up the fantasy points in that Redskins offense this week. For what its worth I also like Reed across a multitude of formats.

    Tight End:

    Greg Olsen, Panthers ($6,000): Olsen started the season with a bad week, but lines up against the Texans this coming week where he has a favorable match-up. I expect Olsen to be the guy we all thought he would be this season.

    Defense:

    Ravens Defense ($5,000): The Ravens defense is always a formidable fantasy option and this week lining up against the Raiders should be no different. With a battered Derek Carr we should be looking at a few turnovers and possibly even seeing his backup that is every fantasy defense owners dream.

    Kicker:

    Justin Tucker, Ravens ($5,200): Since you must have a kicker why not have one of the best ones in the league. Also why not have one that is on a team that stalls out and kicks a lot of field goals.

    As always we thank you for stopping by and wish you FanDuelers the best of luck!

    Next: Tevin Coleman or Stevie Johnson?
