This week’s DraftKings lineup hinges on an elite quarterback option in Lamar Jackson, followed by a balanced set of skill position players.
DraftKings adds a fun and challenging wrinkle to fantasy football. Picking the right lineup in any given week can win you a lot of money. Putting together a lineup of any players in the NFL you want to? Sounds easier said than done.
This week we’re focusing on an expensive quarterback to guarantee us high-end points while evenly filling out the rest of the roster.
Best DraftKings lineup for Week 7
Quarterback: Lamar Jackson ($7,400)
Lamar Jackson had a quiet week last week (167 yards, one touchdown, two INTs) after his Monday night football explosion in Week 5. This week, however, is a prime bounce back week for the former MVP.
Jackson and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who are competitive this year as they sit at 4-2. The Bengals defense has been good: Eighth in rushing defense, and Ninth in passing. However, Jackson is as matchup-proof as they come, and he’s a good bet to put up fantasy points weekly.
Jackson is projected to be our top scorer this week, and we paid the price for him at $7,400. However, picking a top-three scoring quarterback in any given week can help propel your lineup, which I think will happen here.
