NFL DFS Cash Games – Week Two Checkdown

StixPicks
written by StixPicks

Hopefully everyone had a great Week One of their NFL DFS season! If you read last week’s Checkdown, you probably nailed all of your NFL DFS cash games. Out of the 18 skill-position players we targeted, only four of them did not hit value (Nick Chubb, Leonard Fournette, Travis Kelce, and George Kittle).

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites.

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help NFL DFS players make the most of their investments!

Quarterbacks

  1. Lamar Jackson ($6,700) – the number one Quarterback of Week One is on the top of my Quarterback model for NFL DFS Cash Games in Week Two. There is no chance Jackson will throw for 300+ yards with five Touchdowns again, but he should have his way with the poor Arizona Defense and if the game stays somewhat close, Lamar Jackson should use the best weapon he has: his legs.
  2. Tom Brady ($6,400) – The Miami Dolphins are awful and Tom Brady is still Tom Brady. With or without Antonio Brown suiting up in Week Two, Brady should have absolutely no issues hitting value for NFL DFS Cash Game players on Sunday (with a respectable salary of only $6,400 on DraftKings).
  3. Josh Allen ($5,300) – if you need to save some salary, Josh Allen is your man in Week Two. The New York Giants’ defense looked inept in Week One and they are a defense we should be picking on. Dak Prescott just torched the Giants for 400+ yards and four touchdowns… Allen is not Dak Prescott, but he should have no issues putting up at least half of the production that Prescott had in Week One, and that’s all we need for Allen to hit value.

Running Backs

  1. Saquon Barkley ($9,200) – We never have to say much about Saquon Barkley. In a cash game format, NFL DFS players want volume and upside. That is the definition of Saquon Barkley. This is a great week to put a lot of focus on paying up for your top running back in DFS (maybe even two).
  2. Alvin Kamara ($8,200) – If you don’t want to pay up for Saquon Barkley, there is no harm in dropping down to Alvin Kamara (who has a very reasonable price tag). In two match-ups against the Rams last season, Kamara tallied 227 all-purpose-yards, 15 receptions, and three total touchdowns! In a PPR format like DraftKings, Kamara is an excellent play for NFL DFS Cash Games in a fast-paced matchup against the Rams.
  3. Mark Ingram ($6,000) – The Baltimore Ravens are a 13-point home favorite against the Arizona Cardinals. Similar to the situation Chris Carson was in in Week One, this screams like a positive game-script for Mark Ingram. Lock him in for at least 100 yards and a touchdown.
  4. Devin Singletary ($4,200) – The rookie running back showed it all in his debut on Sunday. Vision, patience, ability, speed, awareness, etc. You name it, Singletary showed it. The Bills’ RB finished Week One with a 70% snap count and I’m confident that will rise a bit more in Week Two. Singletary is going to be a special running back in the NFL someday (probably sooner than later).
  5. Austin Ekeler ($6,100) – What a monster performance by Austin Ekeler in Week One! As long as Melvin Gordon is out of the picture in Los Angeles, Ekeler is going to remain heavily active in the Chargers’ offense (both the running and passing attacks). At this price, Ekeler is a borderline must-play in NFL DFS Cash Games.
  6. Matt Breida ($5,200) – I don’t love the price, but Tevin Coleman is going to miss a few weeks for the 49ers, so this should be Breida’s job to lose until further notice. I’m sure we’ll see Mostert take 25-35% of the snaps at running back, but everything else should go through Breida. The 49ers are not the Seahawks, but they should be able to run the ball with success on Sunday, similar to how Chris Carson and the Seahawks ran it in Week One.
  7. Chris Thompson ($3,700) – Despite what we saw early Sunday in Week One, this Redskins’ team is going to be trailing in most games this year. Starting running back Derrius Guice is going to miss a few weeks of game action, and assuming the Redskins are playing from behind a lot, Chris Thompson will be incredibly busy in this offense. I love this price point in Week Two as Thompson is in a perfect spot against Dallas for any DFS player looking for salary relief.

Wide Receivers

  1. DeAndre Hopkins ($8,100) – I don’t know about you, but I certainly missed having the option to roster consistent Top 10 target leaders, DeAndre Hopkins or Michael Thomas in Week One DFS. I’m leaning Thomas here in the WR One slot, but don’t be shy to play Hopkins against the Jaguars.
  2. Michael Thomas ($8,000) – See above.
  3. Keenan Allen ($7,600) – Hardly anyone played Keenan Allen in Week One DFS, and I cannot understand why. All Keenan Allen does is show up and get 10-plus targets. If you can’t pay up for Hopkins or Thomas, Keenan Allen is a solid option for your number one receiver in NFL DFS Cash Games this week.
  4. Tyrell Williams ($4,400) – He is a free square playing in what should be a very positive game script for the Oakland passing attack. Play him.
  5. Tyler Boyd ($6,500) – Volume. I do not love his upside, but he is going to continue to get 10 or more targets in every game until A.J. Green returns.
  6. Danny Amendola ($3,900) – This dude just had 13 targets from Matthew Stafford in the overtime tie against the Arizona Cardinals. Yes, the targets are eye-popping, but what really impressed me was the way Amendola ran his routes. He’s not that fast, but he was constantly creating separation from defenders. This Chargers and Lions game has the ability to shoot out, so Amendola should be a lock for another eight or more targets. This is a great value for NFL DFS Cash Games.
  7. Cooper Kupp ($6,000) – Cooper Kupp is back. I was a little skeptical about all of the reports that were saying Kupp was healthier than ever in camp this summer, but he made me a believer last Sunday. We all know Jared Goff loved to pepper Kupp with targets last season and it appeared that the two were making up for lost time right away in Week One against the Panthers. Kupp should see eight or more targets every time he suits up for a Jared Goff led Rams’ team.
  8. Deebo Samuel ($3,700) – The 49ers “number one” receiver, Dante Pettis, played two snaps in Week One… TWO! Deebo is clearly their most talented wideout and it is only a matter of time before his price increases significantly. Buy in now while it’s cheap.
  9. Dede Westbrook ($5,400) – I’m not in love with the play, but he’s rather affordable and will continue to see seven plus targets for Jacksonville in what should be a play-from-behind game script against the Texans.
  10. Cole Beasley ($3,800) – Nothing sexy here. If you want a cheap guy that will bring you eight to twelve points, Beasley is your man.

Tight Ends

  1. Travis Kelce ($7,300) – Thanks to Patrick Mahomes’ brilliant idea to throw a no-look pass to Kelce when he was wide open in the corner of the end-zone, Kelce did not hit Cash Game value for us in Week One. As long as he is under $7,500, I’ll always have Kelce as my number one tight end in NFL DFS Cash Games.
  2. George Kittle ($6,800) – Kittle was a mismatch nightmare for Tampa Bay all day in Week One. The 49ers’ tight end had ten targets on Sunday and should be the main feature of the 49ers offense for quite some time. I have him projected for 12 targets in this Week Two matchup against the Bengals.
  3. Evan Engram ($5,200) – Engram is more of a wide receiver than he is a tight end, and at this price, that is something DFS players will continue to take advantage of. Engram finished second on the Sunday slate with 14 targets and will continue to receive the majority of Eli’s attention in the pass game.
  4. T.J. Hockenson ($3,000) – Just take advantage of DraftKings making the Week Two pricing before Hockenson dominated the Arizona defense. This kid is special.
  5. Darren Waller ($3,300) – See the write-up above for Tyrell Williams. You’re going to want to get someone in the Oakland passing game as they are pretty much free to roster. Waller had an excellent showing on Monday Night and should continue to be a focus of Derek Carr’s.

Defense/Special Teams

  1. Denver Broncos ($2,700) – Unless Matt Nagy completely flips his playbook around from whatever it was he tried to do on Thursday Night Football, Vic Fangio and the Broncos will eat this Bears’ offense up.
  2. Baltimore Ravens ($3,800) – Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals offense did not impress me, whatsoever. The Ravens’ will destroy what could be the worst offensive line in the NFL.
  3. New England Patriots ($3,700) – They’re playing the Miami Dolphins.
  4. Chicago Bears ($3,900) – I have a feeling the Bears’ defense will be very chalky in Week Two, so tread lightly. There are concerns that this defense is not nearly in good enough shape early in the season to go play in the Denver altitude. They always have incredible upside though, so I had to mention them here.

RB: Saquon Barkley

RB: Alvin Kamara

WR: Keenan Allen

WR: Tyrell Williams

WR: Dede Westbrook

NFL DFS GPP – Stick’s Stacks for Week One

brgrewe@gmail.com
written by brgrewe@gmail.com

The wait is over. Week One is here and it’s time to start reserving your entries and building your lineups for some NFL DFS GPP action. Personally, I think the edge DFS players once had in DFS cash games is starting to decrease drastically, so I am really excited to continue using the majority of my DFS bankroll towards the NFL DFS GPP space. For those of you who still prefer playing more cash games, be sure to check out my article for your Week One Cash Game Picks.

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. 

The purpose of this weekly article is to identify team/game stacks that we are going to use for an NFL DFS GPP. For those of you that don’t know, a “team stack” is simply multiple players from the same team. A “game stack” is similar, except we are going to use players from both teams in a given game. Focusing on team stacks and game stacks is incredibly useful in the NFL DFS GPP environment. That being said, let’s get to the plays!

Top Game Stacks

San Francisco 49ers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (51.5)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers – As soon as Bruce Arians was named the head coach in Tampa Bay, I immediately put the Bucs on my radar for Week One NFL DFS. The Bucs are going to play at a fast pace and pass the ball all over the field – which should hopefully lead to a lot of fantasy points against a less-than-stellar San Francisco 49ers’ defensive unit. Please note that I rarely ever use four players from the same team in one lineup – it’s usually best to stick to a max of three players from one team. Here are the guys from Tampa Bay that I’ll be stacking together in my NFL DFS GPP lineup:

  • Jameis Winston
  • Mike Evans
  • Chris Godwin
  • O.J. Howard

San Francisco 49ers – Well, if I think the Tampa Bay offense is going to score at will, I should probably get some players on the 49ers’ side of the ball. The 49ers will also be playing at a high pace, trying to hang around in this shootout matchup against the Bucs (who also happen to have a very weak defense). Using players on both teams in this game is a great example of our “game stacks”. This game is going to be high scoring and you’re going to want exposure to it in your NFL DFS GPP. Players to consider for your stack:

  • Jimmy Garoppolo
  • George Kittle
  • Matt Breida
  • Tevin Coleman
  • Dante Pettis
  • Marquise Goodwin

Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars (52)

Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs have the highest implied total on the Vegas board that is currently sitting around 28 points. We all know how explosive this offense can be so we don’t need to dive into a whole lot here. Kansas City is going to score points and it seems the DFS public is a bit scared of this matchup against what used to be a stout defense in Jacksonville. I’m all for using two to three Chiefs in my lineups (if I can afford their salaries). Key players I’m targeting:

  • Patrick Mahomes
  • Tyreek Hill
  • Travis Kelce
  • Damien Williams (tread lightly now that LeSean McCoy is on the team, but don’t 100% avoid Williams. He can be a great leverage play at less than 10% ownership)
  • Sammy Watkins

Jacksonville Jaguars – The Chiefs are going to score points in this game and Jacksonville is only a three-point underdog in Vegas. This tells me Vegas is confident that the new Jacksonville offense, under John DeFilippo, can score points in this game as well. I don’t love getting a lot of exposure to the Jaguars due to the fact we really don’t know who’s going to get opportunities in this offense yet. We do need to get some exposure though if we’re going to use Vegas to our advantage and stack the highest total on their board in our NFL DFS GPP.

  • Leonard Fournette
  • Dede Westbrook
  • Nick Foles

Top Team Stacks

Minnesota Vikings – I’m targeting the Vikings’ offense for four reasons:

  1. All of their prices on DFS sites are criminally low
  2. The Atlanta Falcons’ defense is a plus-matchup for any competent offense in the NFL until further notice
  3. Kirk Cousins has a career passer rating of 97.5 when playing at home
  4. The Atlanta Falcons and Dan Quinn’s defensive scheme absolutely bleeds fantasy points to opposing running backs… Hello, Dalvin Cook (he will be a chalky play though).

In my NFL DFS GPP lineups that do not key on San Francisco @ Tampa Bay, the Vikings offense will most likely be my main pivot. If you want to roll out some Vikings in your lineup, it’s not a bad idea to use guys like Devonta Freeman, Julio Jones, or Calvin Ridley on the other side in hopes this game shoots-out. Key Minnesota Vikings stack candidates:

  • Dalvin Cook
  • Stefon Diggs
  • Kirk Cousins
  • Adam Thielen

Detroit Lions – Yes, you are reading this correctly, I’m on board with stacking up the Detroit Lions offense in a NFL DFS GPP in Week One, against what should be a terrible Arizona defense. They are going to be incredibly low-owned and a great place to pivot or even to add to your main game stack lineup. My only concern is that the Lions play at a very slow pace… so let’s hope Kyler Murray and the Cardinals can score some points. We need Matthew Stafford and company to move the ball up and down the field on offense, not just run the clock out. Key Lions to stack (maybe get shares of David Johnson on the other side to have a mini-game stack):

  • Kenny Golladay
  • Kerryon Johnson
  • Marvin Jones Jr.
  • Matthew Stafford

Sample NFL DFS GPP Lineup

QB: Jimmy Garoppolo

RB: Leonard Fournette

RB: Damien Williams

WR: Marquise Goodwin

WR: Marvin Jones Jr.

WR: Chris Godwin

TE: George Kittle

FLEX: David Johnson

DST: Miami Dolphins

NFL DFS Cash Games – Week One Checkdown

brgrewe@gmail.com
written by brgrewe@gmail.com

Week One of the football season is finally here! It’s time to start building your NFL DFS cash games (also known as 50/50s) lineups and building up your DFS bankroll. For those of you that do not know what a cash game really means, here is an excellent read from Picks.org to help explain the basics of the different styles of DFS tournaments: https://www.picks.org/daily-fantasy-sports/dfs-cash-games-vs-tournaments

Sign up NOW for WIN DAILY Premium Gold right here! Projections, weather reports, wagering info, 24/7 expert chats and more!

If you’re just now getting into the Daily Fantasy game, I would highly suggest utilizing at least 70% of your bankroll for cash game usage and the other 30% for GPP’s and Qualifiers. The art of building a lineup for NFL DFS cash games is entirely different than a GPP lineup build, so please be aware that these DFS cash game plays are not always recommended for GPP’s.

My articles will be mainly meant for DraftKings, but you can certainly use this information for other DFS websites.

If you have any questions and would like some further help when building your lineups, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly on Twitter. I’m always available to help DFS players make the most of their investments! Enough talking, let’s get to the plays for Week One NFL DFS cash games.

Quarterbacks

  1. Jacoby Brissett ($4,400) – Brissett is simply way too cheap on all DFS formats (thanks to Andrew Luck’s out-of-nowhere retirement). The Los Angeles Chargers’ defense does not impress me on paper at the moment and Brissett is plenty skilled to start his season on the right track with a healthy wide receiving corps. For his price, I’m 100% lock-buttoning Brissett as my Quarterback in NFL DFS cash games for Week One.
  2. Kirk Cousins ($5,500) – I’m not quite sure why Cousins’ price is so low this week, but if you don’t trust Jacoby Brissett, Kirk Cousins would be my next best cash game QB play. Rostering Jacoby Brissett or Kirk Cousins offers up a lot of salary relief to afford studs at the running back and wide receiver positions. Do we even need to mention how much the Falcons struggled on defense last year? Cousins is at home on Sunday and should have no problem hitting value for cash game players.
  3. Lamar Jackson ($6,000) – Lamar Jackson is the definition of a high-floor DFS Quarterback in his Week One matchup against a very suspect Miami Dolphins’ defense. Once Jackson was named the starting Quarterback in Baltimore last season, he averaged a ridiculous 79 rushing yards per game! Assuming he can pass for at least 180 yards and a touchdown, his legs will make up for the below average passing numbers. Lamar Jackson makes an excellent play for Week One NFL DFS cash games.

Running Backs

  1. Saquon Barkley ($9,000) – arguably the best player in fantasy football… Barkley is incredibly valuable in a DFS cash game at this price in a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys’ defense is going to be stout all season long, but Barkley’s volume is probably going to be second-to-none in 2019 (thanks to Todd Gurley not being 100% healthy anymore). I don’t expect Barkley to have a monster game in Week One, but he will get 30+ touches, which is really all I need to be confident in rostering Barkley in cash games.
  2. Tony Pollard ($4,500) – just like Brissett at QB, Pollard is just too cheap to avoid when building lineups for your Week One NFL DFS cash games. Assuming Ezekiel Elliott does not sign a contract and suit-up on Sunday, Pollard is going to be a lock-button for me. He allows so much salary relief that you can utilize elsewhere. Lock him in (if Elliott is out)! UPDATE: Ezekiel Elliott has now signed with the Cowboys and is reporting to practice. I do not have a good grasp on how many snaps Elliott will play this week, so I am leaving him off my player pool for NFL DFS cash games this week.
  3. Christian McCaffrey ($8,800) – we all know how much of a stud McCaffrey is. Regardless of the matchup, I project his volume is second to only Saquon Barkley. If you don’t like Barkley as your number one running back, plug-in McCaffrey with confidence (maybe even use both, if you can afford it).
  4. Dalvin Cook ($6,000) – he is simply way too cheap for an elite, three-down starting running back. Dalvin Cook is finally 100% healthy and should be primed up for a big game against the Falcons. Please note, I do not advise using both Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook in the same lineup for your NFL DFS cash games (I never like to stack the passing and running game for a 50/50 style of DFS tournament).
  5. Chris Carson ($5,700) – the Seattle Seahawks are currently a 10-point favorite at home this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. That screams 22+ touches for Chris Carson (and probably a touchdown or two). I love getting shares of Chris Carson this week, especially in cash games.
  6. Nick Chubb ($6,400) – similar to Carson, I expect Cleveland running back Nick Chubb, to be quite busy on Sunday at home against the Titans. I do not love his price in comparison to Carson and Cook, so I’m not building many lineups with Nick Chubb in them at the moment. Regardless, he is absolutely a safe play with a high floor and maybe an even higher ceiling. There are a lot of mouths to feed in Cleveland this season, but Chubb should still be their number one option on offense.
  7. Leonard Fournette ($6,100) – Fournette obviously comes with a lot of risk. You never know when he’s going to re-injure that ankle and head to the locker room, but when he’s on the field, he is going to be productive (especially against a Chiefs’ defense that will struggle to get stops). I don’t love Fournette in cash games, but he will be on the field for all three downs and heavily active in both the running and passing games. This is an excellent spot for a 150 all purpose yard game, with a touchdown or two.

Wide Receivers

  1. Chris Godwin ($6,200) – I hate that Chris Godwin is my number one play at the wide receiver position for Week One DFS cash games, but his price is great and the matchup is even better. This San Francisco/Tampa Bay game is going to be a shootout, and Godwin will have a hefty role in that. As long as Jameis Winston is competent, Godwin should be in-store for a solid season opener.
  2. Stefon Diggs ($6,700) – Diggs is better than Adam Thielen, sorry. We have mentioned multiple times that the Atlanta Falcons’ defense is a good one to target in DFS this week, so why not use arguably the best route runner in the NFL, who also happens to be Kirk Cousins’ favorite target in the red-zone? I have Diggs projected for six catches, 110 receiving yards, and a score. I have no problem if you’d rather use Diggs over the chalky Chris Godwin… I may even prefer it. Hamstring injury concerns.
  3. Kenny Golladay ($6,300) – Volume, Volume, Volume. Matt Stafford absolutely peppers Golladay with targets when he needs to pass the ball and with a depleted Arizona secondary, the Lions should pass it often on Sunday. Golladay should line up all over the field and take advantage of a cakewalk matchup. Better yet, Arizona cornerback Patrick Peterson, is starting the season off with a suspension. There is absolutely no reason to fade Golladay in Week One.
  4. Keenan Allen ($7,300) – Similar to Golladay, we all know how much Phil Rivers trusts Keenan Allen. This WR is PPR gold and I have him projected for eight catches for 115 yards. He is an excellent cash game and GPP play this week, and it doesn’t appear that many others in the industry are even considering rostering him this week.
  5. Dede Westbrook ($4,800) – we need to save money again in at least one wide receiver spot. Westbrook is my number one choice for salary savings at the wide receiver position in my lineups for NFL DFS cash games. He has already built excellent chemistry in the preseason with new Quarterback Nick Foles. Assuming this game shoots out, Foles is going to look to Westbrook early and often in hopes that they can keep up with the prolific Kansas City Chiefs’ offense.
  6. Cole Beasley ($3,600) – there is nothing sexy about rostering Cole Beasley in DFS, but he is damn-near free to plug into your cash game lineup. Josh Allen has been targeting Beasley in the middle of the field all preseason, and that should carry into Sunday when the Bills open their season up in New York against the Jets. All you need out of Beasley is five or more catches for 60-75 yards receiving for him to hit value.

Tight Ends

  1. Travis Kelce ($7,100) – I don’t have to say much about Travis Kelce… he offers DFS players the highest floor at the tight end position and the highest ceiling. If you can afford him, lock him in.
  2. George Kittle ($6,100) – get exposure to this Tampa Bay/San Francisco game! The receiving corps for the 49ers is rather banged up right now so Kittle is going to be incredibly active in the passing game in what should be a high-scoring affair on Sunday afternoon. I love getting shares of Kittle this week. I have Kelce projected slightly higher, but for the $1,000 discount, you cannot go wrong with Kittle, who I have projected as the number two tight-end on the slate (and no, I did not forget about Zach Ertz).
  3. Evan Engram ($4,800) – I do not love this play, but someone other than Saquon Barkley has to produce on Sunday… Engram will be that guy. His price is solid, but not great. If you use Saquon, don’t use Engram in your cash game lineup.
  4. Hunter Henry ($3,900) – How is he only $3,900? If you need to pay down at the tight-end position, Hunter Henry is your guy.

Defense/Special Teams

I simply play who I can afford and who I think is in a somewhat positive matchup in regards to acquiring fantasy points. These plays are not in any order of preference, just price (high-to-low).

  • Baltimore Ravens ($3,800)
  • Philadelphia Eagles ($3,600)
  • Dallas Cowboys ($3,500)
  • Cleveland Browns ($3,400)
  • Seattle Seahawks ($3,100)
  • Carolina Panthers & Miami Dolphins ($2,100)

Sample Lineup

QB: Jacoby Brissett

RB: Nick Chubb

RB: Dalvin Cook

WR: Chris Godwin

WR: Kenny Golladay

WR: Dede Westbrook

TE: Travis Kelce

FLEX: Chris Carson

NFL Preseason DFS Week 4 – Thursday Night Football

adam.sardinha1@gmail.com
written by adam.sardinha1@gmail.com

Did you enjoy the action last weekend? Well, we have our last week of preseason DFS this Thursday night! We have all 16 games coming up on Thursday making it a busy night for the final preseason slate of DFS NFL Preseason on DraftKings and FanDuel. The games include PHI @ NYJ, ATL @ JAX, MIN @ BUF, IND @ CIN, PIT @ CAR, BAL @ WAS, DET @ CLE, NYG @ NE, KC @ GB, TEN @ CHI, MIA @ NO, TB @ DAL, LAR @ HOU, ARI @ DEN, OAK @ SEA, and LAC @ SF. I will be delivering my best four to five plays at each of the positions. Get ready for some action!

Quarterbacks

QB – NYG – Daniel Jones – He is going to be the starter in the Giants’ final preseason game against the Patriots. Jones has been excellent throughout the preseason leading the NFL in yards per attempt (12.3), third in completion percentage (83.3%), second in quarterback rating (140.1), and 11th in passing yards.

https://twitter.com/DebCarson/status/1166348437782028289
https://twitter.com/RVacchianoSNY/status/1166366249724592128

QB – NE – Jarrett Stidham – Last year in the fourth game of the preseason former Patriots quarterback Danny Etling played the entire game as the quarterback. We should expect the same from Stidham in Week 4 of the preseason in 2019. Stidham played the majority of Week 3 of the preseason. Throughout the preseason Stidham ranks third in passing yards (506), 12th in yards per pass attempt (8.2), fourth in total dropbacks (73), seventh in pass attempts (62), fourth in pass completions (43), and first in first downs (31).

QB – KC – Kyle Shurmur – The Chiefs will be resting their starters as well and locked in backup quarterback Chad Henne is out with an injury. Andy Reid has already stated that newly signed quarterback Matt Moore will not play, so it will be a split between rookie Kyle Shurmur and second-year player Chase Litton. After their performances in the 49ers game, Shurmur is trending upward — and Litton is heading in the wrong direction.

QB – DEN – Kevin Hogan – Thursday’s game against the Cardinals will feature Kevin Hogan and Brett Rypien trying to win the backup job. Hogan has been significantly better than Rypien so far throughout the preseason so he is the better play of the two Denver quarterbacks.

Running Backs

RB – CLE – D’Ernest Johnson – Since the start of the second preseason game, Johnson has slowly been more involved in the Browns’ offense. He has six receptions on six targets to go along with 15 carries for 63 yards. His 20 total carries lead the Browns by a large margin and with the Browns resting their starters, Johnson should be the primary back on Thursday. He’s also impressed coach Freddie Kitchens and run game coordinator/running backs coach Stump Mitchell with his ability to pass protect. From Ohio.com: “He can do everything,” Mitchell said. “D’Ernest has the ability to be an all-down back in this league.” When asked the player who has grown most during training camp, Mitchell picked Johnson.

RB – DET – Mark Thompson – With the depth chart topped by Kerryon Johnson, C.J. Anderson, and rookie Ty Johnson look for Mark Thompson to shoulder the load as the fourth running back on the roster. He has rushed 17 times for a team-high 80 yards and two touchdowns in the first three preseason games. With the release of Zach Zenner, the volume should be in Thompson’s wheelhouse.

RB – DEN – Devontae Jackson – There’s a chance that Khalfani Muhammad misses the last preseason game, leaving the running back workshare to be divided by Devontae Jackson and David Williams. Jackson leads the team in carries (22) and is third among running backs in targets (7) and receptions (4).

Wide Receivers

WR – NE – Jakobi Meyers – Via Eric J Adler on Patriots.com, if Meyers plays in the final preseason game he is good for another five-catch performance. Meyers has had at least six receptions in his first three preseason games and leads the NFL in total targets (26), receiving yards (225), and first down receptions (13).

WR – CLE – Braxton Miller – Baker Mayfield and the starters will be out for the Browns come their Week 4 NFL Preseason game against the Lions. Miller signed with the Browns recently and also just released Jaelen Strong. Strong’s departure creates a large space in the receiver room as he led the team in routes run throughout the preseason. So with Strong gone and Freddie Kitchens eager to watch Braxton Miller vs. the Lions, that makes him a preseason DFS target; especially noting they want to put him positions to make plays. “He’s picking up the offense,’’ said Kitchens. “That tells you a little bit about his learning ability. We’ll see if we can put him in some positions to make some plays Thursday night. He’s doing well, though.”

WR – DEN – River Cracraft – When in doubt in NFL Preseason DFS you sometimes need to follow the coachspeak. He is definitely a deep dive to target in GPPs with only three targets throughout the preseason. However, two of those three targets came during last week’s contest. His ability as a punt-returner could ultimately push him to make the final 53-man roster.

WR – MIA – Preston Williams – Williams’ best game during the preseason came in Week 1 without Ryan Fitzpatrick dominating the snaps. With Fitzmaguc out for Week 4, look for Rosen to push the ball down to Williams more frequently. In Week 1 Williams had four receptions for 97 yards. Over the past two weeks where Fitzpatrick has led the team in pass attempts, Williams has one reception on seven targets. Third-stringer Jake Rudock is also expected to see significant time at quarterback.

Tight Ends

TE – NE – Ryan Izzo – Made the surprise start with the first-team offense in Week 3 of the preseason. With Matt Lacosse still looking to get ready for Week 1 and Ben Watson/Lance Kendricks having suspensions looming Izzo is an intriguing option. Led the team at tight end in routes run (13) in Week 3 of the preseason.

TE – GB – Robert Tonyan – Tonyan has run the second-most routes (52) throughout the preseason on the Packers of all positions. He ranks fourth in the NFL at the tight end position in total routes run. Jimmy Graham has been out with a finger injury so Tonyan has made the most with more playing time. Last week against the Raiders, Tonyan’s 27 routes run were tied for the most by all tight ends in Week 3.
