DraftKings NFL GPP pivots: Wide Receivers

I have two favorite really cheap guys this week, Arcega-Whiteside and Washington.  J.J. Arcega Whiteside had an awesome preseason and earned a spot as the Eagles fourth receiver this season.

The injuries to Desean Jackson and Alshon Jeffrey are going to elevate him to the second receiver for the Eagles in their match-up against the Lions this week. With Nelson Agholor being the chalky cash game option, I want some shares of the talented 6’2″, 225-pound rookie as a pivot.

The Eagles are going to need to pass the ball a lot on Sunday and it’s pretty reasonable to project a big increase in snaps and targets for Arcega-Whiteside.

If you read my First Look at Week 3 earlier this week, you’ll already know that I am a Steeler fan and someone who has been hoping for the freeing of James Washington in this Pittsburgh offense. Well, Sunday could be the day we finally see him arrive as the Steelers are now going to be quarterbacked by Mason Rudolph going forward.

Rudolph looked good against Seattle and nearly brought the Steelers back from a big deficit late in the game.  He also happens to be Washington’s teammate at Oklahoma State for four years. As a three-year starter, Rudolph connected with Washington for over 4000 yards and 33 scores.

That kind of chemistry can’t be ignored and when you add in the fact that the Steelers second receiver Donte Moncrief has been dropping passes left and right. Washington might be the cheapest he will ever be this season at 3.5k
