DraftKings

We have a tiny three-game Sunday slate, but this will allow us to hone in and stick to a couple of lines. Aside from reading the article, don’t forget to check out our NHL DFS Projection Model which is available every morning.

11/6 NHL Main Slate of Games – Beginning 5 p.m. ET

*All odds and player pricing below have been obtained from DraftKings and are accurate as of the time of writing*

Toronto Maple Leafs (+135) at Carolina Hurricanes (-155) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

Detroit Red Wings (+195) at New York Rangers (-230)6.5 Projected Goal Total

Florida Panthers (-205) at Anaheim Ducks (+175) – 6.5 Projected Goal Total

New York Rangers Two “Vincent Trocheck ($5,900), Artemi Panarin ($6,600), Alexis LaFrenire ($3,200)

In terms of SATF, the New York Rangers are tearing up the charts thus far this season.

It’s peripheral stats like these that help us determine future scoring to the best of our ability. Given the two options the Rangers offer, let’s roll with the league leaders in SATF, NYR Two. They will be facing an absolute trash can in the opposing net, in the form of Alex Nedeljkovic and his 4.96 GAA. With Detroit on a back-to-back, the Wings will likely be clipped here by the Rangers. Although I’m rolling with the second line, the top line is certainly in play as well.

11/6 NHL Favorite Contrarian Line

Florida One “Aleksandr Barkov ($7,500), Matthew Tkachuk ($8,200), Carter Verhaeghe ($4,600)”

The Ducks have been getting smashed recently. The problem with Florida is that a lot of the production is spread throughout their lines, rather than concentrated. That said, the talent on the top line has finally been shining through a bit. They are currently tied with many others lines for sixth in the NHL in scoring. Speaking of trash cans in goal, with a GAA of 4.58 John Gibson looks like he’s certainly seen better days.

Additional Lines to Consider

New York Rangers One – Mika Zibanejad “$8,400”, Chris Kreider “$6,300”, Kappo Kakko “$3,700”

Florida Two – Sam Bennett “$4,800”, Sam Reinhart “$4,500”, Rudolfs Balcers “$2,700” VALUE LINE

Defensemen

Brent Burns – Carolina $6,000 – Burnsy is having a career renaissance finally free of San Jose and their losing ways. He has had double-digit DraftKings points in all games this season except two. You could pay an extra $800 for Brandon Montour in a better spot. However, using a Carolina defender allows us some third-team exposure in addition to saving a little bit of salary.

Brett Pesce – Carolina – $3,400 – Not off to the greatest start with only three assists across 11 games. However, Pesce’s due for offensive regression given his usual standards plus cheap.

Goalies

Igor Shesterskin – New York Rangers – $8,400 – The most talented goaltender on the slate also playing for the slate’s largest favorite.

Frederick Andersen – Carolina – $8,200 – Almost here by default as this is not the slate to go dumpster diving and Spencer Knight is blah. He should face some decent shot volume and there of course is the revenge narrative in play.

11/6 NHL Best Bet

Florida Panthers 60 Min Line (-140) – DraftKings1 Unit – Seems like Florida might be too much to handle for a struggling John Gibson and company. We also get shorter odds here than for the Rangers against Detroit.

We’ve only got 10 games on this main slate in Week 9 which will cut deep into the player pool this week. Losing 6 teams to the byes is tough but we will manage, bringing you the best paths to cashing in your DFS lineups. Keep it simple, don’t get too fancy, and use the AETY projection model to your advantage. Tag me @jdicarlo78 and hop on our Discord to stay up to speed and who to get in your lineups up until lock, time to break it down…Let’s do this!

Sunday Main Slate 11/6/22

Bills @ Jets (+12.5) (O/U 47)

Bills

A walk in the park for Buffalo at the Meadowlands this weekend, start your Bills in cash games. Josh Allen and the Bills’ receiving core really need no explanation, with Diggs already grabbing 55 receptions and 7 touchdowns through 7 games. Another strong play would be the Bills’ DST, who have shut down the best of offenses (held Kansas City to 20 points) and should be able to contain Zach Wilson and the Jets with their eyes closed.

Jets

Jets’ quarterback Zach Wilson will have a short leash at home facing the number one defense of the AFC. He’ll need to stick to the short-yardage passing game for this one to have a chance to move the ball and avoid the interceptions. Check downs to running backs Michael Carter and James Robinson could be on the menu.

Cash: J. Allen, S. Diggs, Bills DST

GPP: M. Carter, J. Robinson

Vikings @ Commanders (+3.5) (O/U 43.5)

Vikings

Kirk Cousins is back in town after Washington released him in 2018, which may still sting a little from 4 years ago. It will be bittersweet for him to pick apart the Commanders’ secondary on Sunday, mainly looking to Kendall Fuller’s assignment of Justin Jefferson, which will be a giant mismatch. You can bet your bottom dollar Kirk will look to pad his numbers up in this game against his former team who refused to pay up.

Commanders

Backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke is not only 2-0 since taking over for the injured Carson Wentz, but has brought Terry McLaurin back to WR1 status. They’ve combined for 11 receptions for 186 yards and 1 touchdown in their two games. McLaurin is still underpriced ($5,900 DraftKings/$7,200 Fanduel) facing the 26th DVOA against receivers

Cash: K. Cousins, J. Jefferson, T. McLaurin

GPP: T. Heinicke

Dolphins @ Bears (+5.5) (O/U 45.5)

Dolphins

Chicago unloaded their two best players on defense before the trade deadline of Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn this week, hello Miami! We are all in again on Dolphins this week, Tua will be in the driver’s seat in this high-octane offense featuring Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. The trio scored a total of 100 DK points last week in Detroit.

Bears

The Bears may have finally begun to reap the rewards of drafting Justin Fields in 2021, averaging 25 fantasy points in his last two games. Using his canon of an arm (330 yards and 3 touchdowns)and being swift with his legs (148 yards/2 TDs), he’s a steal at his pricetag ($5,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel) and a nice flyer for a GPP.

Cash: T. Tagovailoa, T. Hill, J. Waddle

GPP: J. Fields

Panthers @ Bengals (-7.5) (O/U 42.5)

Panthers

Chuba Hubbard still can’t shake that bum ankle, which means it’s D’Onta Foreman time again. The Bengals have given up over 130 yards rushing over the past four games putting Foreman in another smash position. Both receivers (DJ Moore/Terrace Marshall) are way too cheap on DraftKings and are very viable in the reinvigorated passing offense.

**Punt play: The Carolina defense ($2,300 on DraftKings) may pile up sacks against an erratic Cincinnati O-line.

Bengals

Tight end Kyle Pitts was brought back from the dead thanks to Carolina’s defense, so will Hayden Hurst be in line for the same scenario? Ja’Marr Chase‘s vacated targets will need to be funneled elsewhere… A discounted Hurst at tight end and the interim Bengals WR 1 Tee Higgins would be legit. The Bengals are in a smash spot to bounce back after taking a huge beating by Cleveland in Week 8.

Cash: D. Foreman, T. Marshall, H. Hurst

GPP: T. Higgins, Carolina DST, DJ Moore

Chargers @ Falcons (+3.5) (O/U 49.5)

Chargers

LA’s offense has been decimated by injuries, both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are out again, leaving Herbert limited in passing options in Atlanta. The Bolts will be left with Josh Palmer and tight end Gerald Everett as primary targets in the best possible matchup this year…that atrocious Falcons’ secondary. In reality, it’s Austin Ekeler that is the heart of the Chargers’ offense, getting in all the work in the running (5 rushing TDs) and passing game (22 REC/1 TD in his last 2 games)

Falcons

Atlanta loves to run the ball in the trenches, and LA loves to accommodate opposing running backs, who are 31st in DVOA. Keep an eye on Cordarrelle Patterson’s injury status and workload. If he plays and gets eased in, Atlanta may become a platoon at running back with Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley. Too risky to choose, would be nice for the Milli-Maker though. Drake London has been the only consistent piece in this offense, keep it simple if you like any Falcons this weekend.

Cash: A. Ekeler, J. Palmer, G. Everett

GPP: D. London, J. Herbert

Packers @ Lions (+4) (O/U 49.5)

Packers

Green Bay will try to get back to .500 against a Lions team that’s allowed the most yards and points so far this season. Rodgers may as well just feed running back Aaron Jones all-day long against Detroit’s dumpster-fire run defense. Let’s also wait and see if Allen Lazard can make it onto the field too, with 4 touchdowns in 6 games, Lazard has been the only receiver in this offense that has taken a liking by Rodgers.

Lions

Even more targets are headed toward Amon-Ra St. Brown this Sunday with the departure of tight end TJ Hockenson. I can’t wait to see the volume this weekend, if you thought Jared Goff peppered St. Brown before, wait until this Sunday. The Lions are only 4-point underdogs here in this game, and may actually have a shot at beating the underwhelming Packers. The road to their second win of the year is through St. Brown.

Cash: A. Jones, A. St. Brown

GPP: A. Lazard, A. Rodgers

Colts @ Patriots (-5.5) (O/U 40)

Colts

Well looks like they’re starting to tank. Jonathon Taylor has already been ruled out and quarterback Sam Ehlinger from what we saw last week is just not ready for the big show. But we sure will take the free-99 at running back with Deon Jackson, whose last start produced close to 30 fantasy points in Taylor’s absence. Be aware also of the struggle on the opposite sideline of New England as they’ve been unable to decide on who to start at quarterback all season. The Colts DST is in play guys and gals.

Patriots

Coach Belichick loves to pick on rookies, especially opposing quarterbacks. Sam Ehlinger will be a deer in headlights on Sunday when the Patriot defense goes full-on blitz at the inexperienced signal caller. That’s just the appetizer though, the main course in New England has been running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who has put up over 20 fantasy points in his last 4 games. With Damien Harris continuing to carry a questionable tag, Stevenson will still command this backfield.

Cash: R. Stevenson, Patriots DST

GPP: D. Jackson, Colts DST

Raiders @ Jaguars (+1.5) (O/U 48)

Raiders

Expect Vegas to start out with a ton of emotion after getting shut out in New Orleans in Week 8. Davante Adams was under the weather up until game time last week, which may have lingered on the field. Derek Carr and Josh Jacobs also looked out of sorts, we can chalk this up as just an oops. The Raiders will go back to the basics and pound the pigskin with Jacobs on a softer Jaguars front line who now rank 25th in DVOA and work Adams back up to his normal reception volume. Consider taking a flyer on receiver Mack Hollins too, who seems to have won Carr’s trust and put up double-digit fantasy points in his last two games.

Jaguars

Jacksonville and coach Doug Pederson have fully unlocked running back Travis Etienne, the dude just always gets the ball and gets the job done fantasy-wise. The second-year stud out of Clemson has rushed for 270 yards in his last two games. He will face a Vegas defense that was gashed a week ago by Alvin Kamara’s 150 total yards, 3 touchdown game. Tight end Evan Engram is grossly cheap (DraftKings $3,300) for a guy seeing 6 plus targets per game. Lawrence and Kirk have become very affordable as well, so If you’re in the mood to stack for a GPP this weekend, your build may be right here!

Cash: D. Adams, C. Kirk, T. Etienne, E. Engram

GPP: J. Jacobs, T. Lawrence, M. Hollins

Seahawks @ Cardinals (-2) (O/U 49.5)

Seahawks

It’s time for our weekly dose of Marco Wilson, and Seattle is on deck for Sunday afternoon. Both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett are in the mix here, pick ya poison. The Cards will also let you run on them too, who have allowed over 130 yards in 2 of 4 previous games, 173 yards alone last week to the Vikings. Kenneth Walker is still way too cheap on DraftKings ($6,200) for Vegas’ highest-scoring game on the slate.

Cardinals

“Reunited and it feels so good”…is the song playing in the locker room for DeAndre Hopkins and Kyler Murray these days. The duo from the desert have hooked up on 22 grabs for 262 yards and a touchdown in Hopkins‘ return from a suspension in week 7…Marquis who? The AETY Model for some odd reason is also feeling like some Rondale Moore this weekend, perhaps if he lines up across from the Seahawks’ Coby Bryant? Yup, get him in on a dart throw.

Cash: D. Metcalf, T. Lockett, K. Murray, D. Hopkins

GPP: R. Moore, K. Walker

Rams @ Bucs (-3) (O/U 42.5)

Rams

It’s so hard to believe that the Rams are the defending Super Bowl champs from the way they’ve played this season. “F@$k them picks” is beginning to show its true colors, the price to pay for selling them off for a championship for a cottage cheese 2022 offensive line. The run game has been obliterated in LA, and Matt Stafford can tell you how many light bulbs are out at SoFi Stadium from the amount of time laying on his back. It’s Kupp only for us here, as usual.

Bucs

Can Brady and the Bucs finally bounce back this week and get back control of the NFC South? His main weapons are at full strength with Evans and Godwin, and as far as we know 100 percent healthy. Now that the Goat’s divorce is finally behind him, he may focus more on football now. Godwin has a sweet matchup on that cushy Rams’ interior pass defense, and Evans can do what he does best and get in the endzone. Tampa’s recent bad play as of late has put them in the fantasy doghouse, projecting super-low ownership across the board. Get your Bucs in for a tournament or two. Cash Is king although, and that Bucs’ DST will turn that frown upside down when it’s knocking Stafford around like a pinball on Sunday.

Cash: C. Kupp, M. Evans, Bucs DST

GPP: T. Brady, C. Godwin

Cash Core 4

J. Allen, D. Jackson, J. Palmer, E. Engram

GPP Core 4

T. Lawrence, C. Godwin, J. Jacobs, G. Everett

Stacks

T. Lawrence, T Etienne, C. Kirk / J. Allen, S. Diggs / T. Brady, C, Godwin / K. Murray, D. Hopkins

K. Cousins, J. Jefferson / J. Herbert, A. Ekeler, J. Palmer, G. Everett

Last week saw even more injuries to the TE position again. Irv Smith Jr is now on the IR, Mike Gesicki found the end zone. George Kittle did what he does, and we are ready to move on to Week 9! We are officially at the midway point of the season (half way through the games at least).

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 8 on FanDuel and DraftKings! It would be the midway point of the season in a normal 16-game season already! Let’s find ourselves a few edges as we climb the leaderboards once again!

Zach Ertz, Cardinals ($5,100 DraftKings, $6,600 FanDuel)

After a short hiatus, we welcome Mr. Ertz back to the Tight End article. He draws the best matchup on the board against Seattle once again. Coincidentally, Arizona is now allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing TE, but that matters little here. Seattle is still serving up 20+ fantasy points per game to TE, and Ertz was pretty much the only Cardinal who showed up in the first meeting (7-70).

DeAndre Hopkins is back, but Marquise Brown is on the shelf for the foreseeable future, so Ertz is still one of the top options in this offense. I’d be willing to wager we see more than 28 total points in the rematch here. Ertz is the most expensive option on both sites with Mark Andrews and Travis Kelce both on showdown slates. That doesn’t shy me away from him at all. I expect some fireworks here, and Ertz has a solid floor in this one.

Gerald Everett, Chargers ($4,800 DraftKings, $5,800 FanDuel)

Everett has seen 16 targets over his last two contests, and has built a solid rapport with Justin Herbert. Even better? Mike Williams has already been ruled OUT for this one. Keenan Allen seems to be behind schedule in his recovery from a hamstring injury. Behind Austin Ekeler, Everett may be the most reliable member of the Chargers offense on Sunday.

Only the aforementioned Seahawks and Cardinals have allowed more yardage to TE than the Falcons’ 552 this season. Increased looks are coming his way. He is averaging eight targets a game over the last two…this is a perfect storm for Everett. I will likely have Everett in a LOT of my lineups in Week 9.

Hayden Hurst, Bengals ($3,600 DraftKings, $5,300 FanDuel)

We all saw the disaster that was the Bengals’ offense on Monday Night Football. I’m far from a Zac Taylor apologist. When this offense has missed EITHER JaMarr Chase or Tee Higgins, Taylor has completely lost it. Enough about Zac. Hurst has been clear about how happy he is to be in Cincinnati and be part of something special. The Bengals have no choice but to win as much as possible the rest of the season.

Over his last five games, Hurst has posted 11.7, 17.3, 5.1, 10.8, and 8.2 DraftKings points. The Panthers have been middle of the pack against TE in 2022. Volume is king here once again, and I’d be stunned to see Hurst with less than 6 targets as a floor. Burrow will be looking his way early and often. With the way the Bengals defense is depleted right now, Carolina will likely make this one close. Hurst has a big ceiling here in my book.

Evan Engram, Jaguars ($3,300 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel)

I don’t know how you feel about the term “smash spot”, but regardless of your take, Engram is definitely in one this weekend. The Raiders have quietly been dominated by TE this season, allowing the 2nd-most TD (6), 2nd-most Red Zone targets (15), and the MOST goal-to-go targets (10).

Engram has flown under the radar big time this season, posting DraftKings totals of 12.9, 9, 10.7, and 15.5 over his last four games. After the hot start by Christian Kirk this season, the Jaguars WR have largely been a disappointment. They continue to lose games, which leads them into more obvious passing situations. Nobody has an idea what is going on with the Raiders, but they certainly aren’t mailing it in for the season yet. This one has sneaky shootout potential, and Engram is crazy cheap for his potential value.

James Mitchell, Lions ($2,500 DraftKings, $4,000 FanDuel)

I have found the ultimate punt play. With TJ Hockenson shipped out of town to division rival Minnesota, there are plenty of opportunities to be had in this Lions offense. Brock Wright is technically listed as the next man up here, but is dealing with a concussion.

Mitchell was a dual-threat in college at Virginia Tech, with five rushing and six receiving touchdowns over his final two seasons (20 games). Sure, this play could completely flop, but at this dead minimum salary, I’m banking on a payoff. Green Bay has been tough against opposing TE, but this is a play of opportunity and upside. The more I think about it, the more shares I want this weekend.

Come find me on Twitter and let’s chat some football! Good luck in Week 7, and let’s meet at the top of the leaderboards!
