DraftKings week 3 fantasy football picks
High Value Wide Receivers
Allen Robinson (5,200): Robinson had a quiet week 1 but exploded for 155 yards and a pair of touchdowns on six catches in week 2. He demolished the Miami secondary, and he’ll look to punish another AFC East foe this week in New England. The Patriots secondary hasn’t been great, and since Jacksonville will likely be playing from behind look for Robinson to get plenty of passes his way.
Donte Moncrief (4,800): Moncrief has been impressive despite the Colts horrible start to the year and looked like the team’s best receiver on Monday Night Football with T.Y. Hilton slowed by injury and Andre Johnson still struggling to adjust to Indy’s offense. Moncrief caught seven passes for 122 yards and a touchdown giving him two touchdowns on the season with at least six catches in both of the Colts losses.
Michael Crabtree (4,600): Crabtree has drawn tons of targets his first two weeks in Oakland and showed a very nice connection with Derek Carr on Sunday finishing with 111 yards on nine catches including a touchdown. He had five catches in week one as well from Matt McGloin although the results were less spectacular (37 yards). This week with Carr under center, look for Crabtree to again post a nice line with plenty of catches as the Raiders take on the Browns.
Rishard Matthews (3,800): Matthews has emerged from a crowded receiving corps as the starter in Miami opposite Jarvis Landry. Matthews caught six of the seven passes thrown his way on Sunday for 115 yards. He didn’t find the end zone in week 2, but he did in week 1 as part of his four-catch, 34-yard performance. Matthews may not be able to sustain this success for the season, but he’s definitely got it going right now and is in a pretty good matchup against the Bills this week.
Ted Ginn Jr. (3,300): If you’re looking for a cheap option who gets targets, check out Ted Ginn Jr who is one of the Panthers top receivers but still incredibly cheap. There aren’t a lot of options for Cam to throw too, and Ginn has received 16 passes his way in the firs two weeks and leads the Panthers with 95 receiving yards. He’s a bit of a flier, but he’s also in a good matchup against the Saints.
Andrew Hawkins (3,300): Another ultra-cheap option who is worth look since he is the presumed (default) #1 WR in Cleveland despite the explosion of Big-Play Benjamin the last few weeks is Andrew Hawkins the diminutive slot option for the Browns. This week, he and the Browns face the Raiders defense this week who haven’t been able to stop anyone yet this season. Hawkins gives Josh McCown a security blanket and if you go cheap, he’s worth a flier.
