FanDuel NFL: Best Week 2 Lineup

Kicker: Blair Walsh, Seattle Seahawks-$4,600
Defense: Arizona Cardinals-$5,000

Walsh accounted for all of Seattle’s points in Week 1, going 3-for-3 on field goals with a long of 41 yards. Now a home game is coming against the San Francisco 49ers, who allowed three field goals and two extra points to Panthers’ kicker Graham Gano last week. Two of Gano’s makes fell just short of the 40-yard threshold to count for four points on FanDuel (39 and 36 yards), otherwise his performance would have been even better.

Walsh is perhaps the most psychologically fragile kicker in the NFL, but he’s coming off a good performance with a nice matchup coming in Week 2. He’s also a nice value play, with an injured kicker (Cody Parkey) more expensive this week.

Targeting the defense that played the Colts worked out very well last week, so I’m going back to the well this week. Outside of a pick-six right off the bat. the Cardinals’ defense did not offer much else fantasy-wise last week against the Lions (one sack). But the matchup is just too good to pass up this week.

The Colts have not named a starting quarterback for Sunday as of this writing, but it doesn’t matter if it’s Scott Tolzien or Jacoby Brissett. Arizona’s defense is set up to succeed at a high level, and it’s very possible both Indianapolis quarterbacks play again this week.
