More wide receivers!

Tyrell Williams: FanDuel $6300, DraftKings $5900

Touchdown Tyrell! Can you tell I really want pieces of this game in NFL DFS this week? I don’t know if it’s sneaky or not but the total is going up and up over the week. I’m not sure I love the price, to be honest, but he’s a pretty good player. The issues are that he has Derek Carr as his quarterback and he doesn’t really get a ton of targets. Wide receiver is tough this week because I feel like we’re forced to find value and I’m not really all that in love with anyone in the lower- or middle-priced range.

Keenan Allen: FanDuel $7300, DraftKings $6400

He’s priced REALLY attractively, especially on DraftKings. I think Green Bay could score a good bit here too but I’m not sure if the Chargers know what their identity is. They’re playing really slowly and Rivers hasn’t been looking quite as good as he did early in the year or the past few years really. They keep trying to basically force feed Melvin Gordon which is not the right move. Ideally, Rivers can get into a rhythm and start throwing quick passes to both Ekeler and Keenan Allen. He should be a PPR monster on DraftKings.

Stefon Diggs: FanDuel $7900, DraftKings $7600

Has anyone had a hotter last three games than Stefon Diggs? I mean talk about complete zero to hero. He has absolutely been on fire lately and it’s been due to a few different factors. His quarterback got called out and is reacting appropriately by lighting up defenses and his running mate Adam Thielen is banged up. Diggs gets a really nice “pace-up” matchup against the Chiefs. I wouldn’t run Cook with Diggs but I would definitely prioritize getting one of the two into your lineups. I think Diggs could be a really sneaky play in any format simply due to lineup construction. By that I mean if it makes sense for everyone to pay up for three running backs on a week (which it usually should) then you could get away from that by paying up for at least one wide receiver. I think Diggs is your guy to do that with.
