FanDuel NFL: Best lineup for Week 3
By Jon Dove
Tight End: Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts
@ Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $5,500
Eric Ebron has carved out a nice role with the Indianapolis Colts. He is making the most of his opportunities and finding the end zone. His involvement in the offense should only increase has he and Andrew Luck develop more chemistry.
The underlying story here is that Luck still looks a little rusty. He is showing the effects of missing all that time.
However, Luck hasn’t shown anything to make me believe that this is a long-term situation. He’ is just working his way back and obviously sees Ebron as one of this top red zone targets. This weekend against the Eagles is a tough matchup, but Ebron is a solid play at this cost.
Backup Option: Trey Burton, Chicago Bears
@ Arizona Cardinals, Sunday 4:25 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $5,700
Trey Burton didn’t put up great numbers in Week 1, but Mitch Trubisky missed him more than a few times. The matchup against the Arizona Cardinals is very favorable and should help Burton pad his stats.
Chicago wants Burton to be one of their go-to weapons and just need to continue to work him into the game plan. It shouldn’t be long until he settles in as one of the better pass-catching options on the roster.
