FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 2
By Nick Villano
Wide Receiver: Marquise Brown $6,200
It was a real surprise to see Marquise Brown at this price. The man known as “Hollywood” was a big playmaker in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. He only caught five balls, but he broke 100 yards, including a 47-yard catch.
The issue here is the touchdowns went to Mark Andrews, J.K. Dobbins, and Willie Snead. With 38 points on the board, one would hope the team’s top receiver would see the end zone at least once.
The law of averages says if the Ravens keep scoring at this rate, Brown is going to see the endzone often.
It’s hard to tell what the Texans defense, the Ravens’ opponent this week, will be overall. They allowed 34 points last week, but that was against the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs with no offseason. Now, they have a week to make adjustments and see who is ready for game action. Still, this isn’t a very impressive secondary.
Brown is a great value at $6,200. The other receivers in this price range include Will Fuller, Jamison Crowder, and Mike Williams. There are some other true deals at the bottom price point, but as we learned last week with the bet on Justin Jefferson, that’s not often worth it.
However, getting a number-one receiver on one of the best offenses in the league is a smart play every week at this price.
Other Low-cost Options: Preston Williams $5,400, Jerry Jeudy $5,300
