We’ve had some nice wins over the past few weeks, and if you haven’t been reading the articles and hanging out in discord, you are missing out. It looks like a week to pay up at RB this week, so let’s see if we can find some nice plays this week at wide receiver. If you don’t know how I typically play the game, I generally like to build my lineups based on ownership. Bear in mind there will be times when we don’t have a clear picture of what that looks like until game day. With that being said, I do like to wait and see what the field is doing so this article may be a little on the later side than the standard. This way we can stay with the pack, in cash games, and pivot to those high-upside players in GPP-style contests. Don’t forget to look at the bottom of this article for other players I really like as well. Once you’re done scanning this article make sure to hop in our Discord chat to stay up to date with lineup discussions.
Let’s dive into NFL DFS Wide Receivers for this week’s main slate.
DAVANTE ADAMS, LV $8,700 DRAFTKINGS $8,600 FANDUEL
When Adams has had his healthy games, he’s been averaging a nice 12 targets and 27 DK FPG. This week he has a nice matchup again. An interesting stat I want to share with you, each week either one of Adams / Jacobs combo on every single lineup, has taken down slates. He’ll be a little lower owned this week again, and he’s a better GPP play than Cash.
NICO COLLINS, HOU $4,200 DRAFTKINGS $5,800 FANDUEL
Brandin Cooks got hurt in practice and he won’t play this week, and that makes Collins the number one option. Collins has posted 5 or more catches and over 40 receiving yards in three straight games. Last week he was targeted 9 times, which is a really good sign for what i think would can predict a bit of a safe floor this week. Collins should be targeted heavily this week, and the matchup looks really good for him not to have an issue. Lock and load in cash games.
TEE HIGGINS, CIN $7,200 DRAFTKINGS $8,300 FANDUEL
This week we have the return of Ja’Marr Chase and while I do think he is a great play, the salary saver option here, and a nice pivot, can be Tee Higgins. Give me Higgins here, at a lower price tag, and the matchup here is quite good this week for him. Higgins has now posted 5 or more catches in eight of his last nine games. Last time he played the Chiefs he posted 6/103, and I expect him to have a similar game this week.
GARRETT WILSON, NYJ $5,300 DRAFTKINGS $6,600 FANDUEL
Wilson has a tougher matchup this week than in the past, but I honestly don’t think it matters. Wilson is now averaging 5 catches for over 75 yards on over 10 targets per game with 4 TDs in four games without Zach Wilson, where when he played him with him, he just sucked. This week his price tag still doesn’t reflect what he is worth, and he’ll prove to the fans again this week, why he’s the WR1 there in NY.
AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DET $7,100 DRAFTKINGS $8,000 FANDUEL
Excluding games where St. Brown suffered an injury or was hurt, he’s averaging 10 targets and 23 FPG over his last 12 games. He’s hit at least 15 fantasy points in 11 of 12, and double-digit targets in 10 of 12. For perspective, Justin Jefferson has given us around the same numbers as St. Brown, he’s a lot cheaper this week on Draftkings. And as an added bonus, St. Brown also has the more favorable matchup – the Jaguars rank 7th-worst in schedule-adjusted FPG allowed to opposing WRs.
CHRISTIAN KIRK, JAX $6,300 DRAFTKINGS $7,500 FANDUEL
The Lions rank 3rd-worst in schedule-adjusted FPG allowed to opposing slot WRs. With this game looking like a potential shootout, Kirk has a great chance here to put up some big numbers. Lawrence has looked better as the year has gone on, and this looks like the week for Mr. Kirk.
Honorable Mention: Hill, Jefferson, Chase, Waddle, Allen, Cooper, AJ Brown
Value Plays: Pickens, S. Moore, E. Moore, C. Moore, Z Jones, J. Reynolds
