DraftKings Lineup

QB: Jimmy Garoppolo $6500

RB: Jordan Howard $6500

RB: Kenyan Drake $5600

WR: Odell Beckham Jr. $8200

WR: Nelson Agholor $6100

WR: Jamison Crowder $4200

TE: Eric Ebron $3400

FLEX:  Randall Cobb $5200

D/ST: Minnesota Vikings $4300

This preliminary lineup will likely change come Sunday. As a mid-week lineup, I like the versatility it offers. Obviously the entire lineup centers around Odell Beckham Jr. Houston just does not have anyone in that secondary that should be able to slow him down. Expect Beckham to make a comeback from a bad performance on national TV Sunday night. Jimmy Garoppolo gets the Chiefs defense that is terrible and he will need to put up points, I trust him going forward despite a slow start.

Jordan Howard gets the nod at running back with the expectation that Chicago gets a lead and let’s Horward grind out the game. In Miami I think this is the week Kenyan Drake explodes and shows that he is the primary option and Frank Gore should not be handling 40% of the workload. The remaining receivers are slot types that are good for DraftKings PPR scoring. Eric Ebron is a bit of a swing at tight end but that position is hit-or-miss and he’s looked great through two weeks. Defensively it is hard to not choose the Vikings against the Bills.

Check back on Sunday for an updated version and a new lineup when more information is available!
