FanDuel NFL: Best lineup for Week 3
By Jon Dove
Running Back: Jordan Howard, Chicago Bears
@ Arizona Cardinals, Sunday 4:25 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $7,400
The Arizona Cardinals have some major problems on both sides of the ball. This is a team that has looked horrible in the first two weeks of the season. It makes for a great matchup for Jordan Howard and the Chicago Bears in Week 3.
Howard is the Bears main running back who gets a bulk of the carries. He does give way to Tarik Cohen at times, but Cohen gets his touches in many different ways.
The fact that Chicago has been willing to get Howard more involved in the passing game only increases his value. With a FanDuel cost of &7,400, Howard could provide you with plenty of savings and excellent value.
Running Back: Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings
vs. Buffalo Bills, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $6,500
Dalvin Cook is off to a slow start this year, but he is still working his way back from an injury. The Vikings are obviously playing it a little cautious. However, this weekend against the Buffalo Bills would be a great time to take off the kid gloves.
The Bills have looked like the worst team in the NFL through two weeks. They haven’t been able to stop anyone on defense and can’t sustain drives on offense.
Their struggles on offense has put the defense in bad situations which the opponents have taken advantage of. Minnesota is a veteran team with a strong coaching staff who will look to do just the same.
Minnesota’s defense has been very stingy thus far and is more than capable of creating some turnovers. This would me more opportunities for Cook to produce fantasy points.
