I want to start off this article by saying you must have the absolute nuts to win the top prize up top on large field GPPs. There is no room for mistakes with so many entries in these contests. If you think you are going to win it all by playing a combo of the top seven guys in the player pool, you are not. If a combo of a bunch of guys you have heard of before is indeed the best scoring lineup, you will most likely tie for first. If that sounds good to you, then go for it. It will be profitable if you nail it, but for me I like to be a little different on these slates. I will be making multiple teams and taking long shots on a few cheap guys.
Leaving cash on the table in these NFL DFS contests is fine too. This makes your lineup even more unique and lower owned because a lot of amateurs will be pulling their hair out to use their entire salary.
That all being said, I have looked at every possible player that can get on the field and listed my picks below.
The NFL DFS Week 2 Sunday Night Showdown Picks
MVP: Julio Jones: Julio has the highest upside on the slate. They are opening at home in a prime time spot on Sunday night. The Eagles defensive backs are not elite and Julio can enforce his will. It feels like Julio exceeds 100 yards tonight in NFL DFS.
MVP Pivot: Zach Ertz: There are a lot of mouths to feed on the Eagles but I know Ertz is going to get his targets. If the Philly offense is not dumping it down to one of their three backs there is a high probability the Ertz will get the first look from Wentz. He is a top three TE in the league.
NFL DFS Flex Options:
- Matt Ryan: Very safe at home, and with Devonta Freeman looking rusty, I believe Ryan will be more inclined to throw to Jones, Ridley, Sano and Hooper.
- Carson Wentz: I expect a high scoring game and Wentz will have the ball in his hands half of it. He has plenty of receivers to dish it out to and even Sproles and Sanders can catch the ball as well. He looked great in Week One, throwing for 313 yards and three touchdowns.
- Calvin Ridley: He is Ryan’s second option after Julio. I think he has a breakout season this year. You can feel safe he will get targeted. He scored a touchdown last week when the the entire Falcons offense was struggling. I think they bounce back. I would not play him with Julio.
- Darren Sproles: He is a pass catching back vs a team you want to target with pass catching backs. Dalvin Cook owned the Falcons last week, and Sproles is my pick to return the best NFL DFS value in the Eagles backfield.
- Matt Bryant: Kicking in a dome, at home. If the Falcons can’t convert, out comes Money Matt.
- DeSean Jackson: He exploded last week for 154 yards and two touchdowns. He can always make a big play. If he gives me a third of that production, I will be happy.
- Alshon Jeffery: Another elite WR for Wentz. I wouldn’t play with DJax, but one of these guys should get in the end zone.
