Victory Values: Week 2
Welcome to the first ever Victory Values feature for Week 2! In this article, I’ll be looking at the best player values that will lead you to DFS paydirt! You won’t see lame advice to start McCaffery, Thomas or Kelce. You know that already. I’ll go under the hood to find the players with the best matchups and lowest salaries to round out your DFS lineups with big upside – so that you CAN start the studs you want and have a great chance to win! Let’s get started!
QB Values Under $6,000
Jared Goff – LAR @ PHI – $5,800 ($7,300 in FanDuel) – Goff put up nice but pedestrian numbers against the Cowboys last week (20-31-275-0-1) as Malcolm Brown converted two short TD runs. With the Eagle offense under injury seige – the Rams should once again own time of possession and deliver better passing results with additional opportunities. Unless you think Malcolm Brown is the 2nd coming of a younger Todd Gurley – Goff should rebound with 2-3 passing TD’s and perhaps a score on the ground.
Mitch Trubisky – CHI vs NYG – $5,500 ($7,200 in FanDuel) – Where was THIS Mitch Trubisky last year (20-36-242-3-0) who led the Bears to a comeback win over Detroit. We know Trubisky isn’t perfect, but sometimes, you have to play the matchups. The New York Giants just allowed Big Ben (21-32-229-3-0) to dissect them – as they do not have the secondary talent to keep with AROB and Anthony Miller (4-76-1).
RB Values Under $5,000
Zack Moss – BUFF @ MIA – $4,800 ($5,200 in FanDuel) – As some analysts predicted, Moss almost equaled Devin Singletary’s touches in Week 1. Both players had 9 carries last week. Singletary had 5 catches. Moss had 3 catches. Moss had all the rushing attempts near the goal line. For this price, you can load up at other positions and know that Moss gives you a realistic chance to score TD’s every time the Bills reach the red zone.
Chase Edmonds – ARI vs WASH – $4,600 ($5,000 in FanDuel) – We know that Edmonds, if given the opportunity, has performed like an RB1. The Cardinals have a plan for Edmonds as he scored a TD in Week 1 with 3 catches, 16 yards and ran for 26 yards. Edmonds had 5 targets in Week 1, compared to just 2 for Kenyan Drake. At this price, Edmonds has a solid base of involvement and always has a shot to break one.
Benny Snell Jr – PITT vs DEN – $4,500 ($4,600 in FanDuel) – With James Conner leaving the game with an ankle injury, Snell picked up the slack with a career high 113 yards vs the Giants. We don’t know yet if Connor will be ready to suit up in Week 2. Snell may end up being the bell cow starter. Worst case, Connor plays and they share playing time. Snell should still have 10-12 touches with a very good opportunity for more.
WR Values Under $5,000
Curtis Samuel – CAR @ TB – $4,700 ($5,200 in FanDuel) – It was the Robby Anderson show last week for Teddy Bridgewater. Chances are #1 WR DJ Moore will have some positive regression, but don’t sleep on Samuel. The Panthers should be in catch up mode in this game and Samuel would face the nickel TB CB. In what should be a high scoring affair, Samuel is a worthy dart to light up the board.
Marques Valdes-Scantling – GB vs DET – $4,600 ($5,100 in FanDuel) – After what Mitch Trubisky did to the Lions defense last week, it’s safe to say that Aaron Rodgers could feast once again in the Packers’ home opener. It seems like Scantling (6-96-1) is back in Rodger’s good graces as the two connected on a long 45 yard TD. If Rodgers continues to show trust in MVS, you should put him in your lineup – especially at this price.
Parris Campbell – IND vs MIN – $4,500 ($5,300 in FanDuel) – Campbell led all Colt WR’s last week with 9 targets and a 6-71 receiving line. With #1 WR, TY Hilton still battling his hamstrings, and rookie, Michael Pittman (2 catches, 10 yards) not earning Philip River’s (363 passing yards, 1 TD, 2 INT) trust – it should be Campbell who receives the bell cow of looks vs a suddenly vulnerable Viking secondary.
TE Values Under $4,000
OJ Howard – TB vs CAR – $3,900 ($4,800 in FanDuel) – Tom Brady has always liked this tight ends. While his old tight end (Gronk) still rounding into shape, Howard caught a TD against the Saints (4 catches – 36 yards) and was 2nd on the team with 6 targets. With this kind of target share and attention, Howard has a chance to hit paydirt every week, especially this week against a very giving Panther defense.
Dan Arnold – ARI vs WASH – $3,300 ($4,400 in FanDuel) – For the Cards in Week 1, it was the DeAndre Hopkins show. Can you blame Kyler Murray for playing with his new toy? Last week, Eagle TE’s (Ertz and Goedert) totaled 11 catches, 119 yards, 2 TD’s and 16 whopping targets against Washington. It’s clear that this is a winnable matchup to exploit and I look for the Cards to take advantage of it.
D Value Under $3,000
LAR vs PHI – $2,800 ($4,500 in FanDuel) – The Rams talented defense just held the mighty Cowboys to 17 points – the same number that the lowly Washington football team (Can’t we just the name them the Sentinels already?) just allowed to a banged up Eagle squad. Washington delivered 8 sacks, two INT’s and a fumble recovery. You’d hard pressed to do better starting a very formidable Rams D against a depleted Eagle team missing their top 3 offensive lineman, starting RB and two starting receivers.
