Welcome to week 17 and Happy New Year, lets ring in the new year with some green screens. I’m here to help you break down some DFS Wide Receiver plays for this week’s main slate. Don’t forget to look at the bottom of this article for other players I really like as well. Once you’re done reading this article make sure to hop in our expert chat on Discord to stay up to date with lineup discussions.
Let’s dive in to NFL DFS Wide Receivers for this weeks main slate. Pricing is jacked up a bit on both sites, so I’m going to list a few more guys than I normally would because there are different plays on FD and DK.
TYREEK HILL, KC $8,300 DRAFTKINGS $8,200 FANDUEL
Looking like the most explosive game on the slate, and he’ll be more popular of a play on FD this week. He’s my top play on FD and I like him for cash and GPPs this week. Run it back with all your cincy options.
CEEDEE LAMB, DAL $7,100 DRAFTKINGS $7,200 FANDUEL
I love the connection and the fireworks that will happen this Sunday with Dak and Lamb. This is one of my favorite plays on the slate, and I’m locking in CeeDee this week. Again he’s in a better spot on FanDuel this week. I really like the upside pairing with him and Dak this week. Lineup construction has me drooling on this one. Let’s win some money this week Family, this is the play.
TEE HIGGINS, CIN $6,900 DRAFTKINGS $7,000 FANDUEL
Now that I write up Higgins, you know Chase will be the guy. I have Higgins slightly higher than Chase this week but they are both in a great spot again. High total, in a fast paced shootout we are all hoping for. Fingers crossed. I’ll have multiple builds with different variations of KC and Cincy guys this week.
A.J. BROWN, TEN $7,200 DRAFTKINGS $7,500 FANDUEL
Tannehill, AJ Stacks to end the season??? Ghost are you with me? Well if this is any week I’m going to run that pairing this would be the week. AJ is looking like a lock play on FD, and he’s in such a great spot. We spoke about him on the live stream, and running it back with Waddle, who is also an honorable mention this week.
ANTONIO BROWN, TB $6,100 DRAFTKINGS $8,500 FANDUEL
He’s a lock on DK this week, he’s just too expensive on FD, but of course you can play him. I have found my builds are different this week, from site to site. He’s going to be the guy this week for Tom, and it’s AB and Gronk this weekend vs a horrid Jets D. I wouldn’t be surprised if they put up 40 points.
COOPER KUPP, LAR $9,500 DRAFTKINGS $10,200 FANDUEL
Kupp is projected the most points from any wide receiver this weekend, and he’s a much better play on DK this week. Again he’s a little pricy to get there on FanDuel, but I wouldn’t tell you not to play him. He’s in such a smash spot, that you have to consider him.
COLE BEASLEY, BUF $4,900 DRAFTKINGS $5,600 FANDUEL
He’s just going to be popular on DK so I wanted to make mention of him. I like playing a few other value guys I mentioned below a little better, again, only on DK.
Honorable Mention: Allen, Cooks, Waddle, St Brown
Value Plays: Zay Jones, Berrios, Pittman, Collins
