FanDuel NFL

We’ve reached midway into the season here in Week 9 as we see the cream rise to the top in the NFL. The quarterback has become an even thinner position and teams with the best records are showing their true colors of who is under center. Last week we smashed at QB with Tua, Cousins, and Murray thanks to the projection model. But don’t count all your winnings just yet, there’s still plenty of NFL DFS to play. It’s time to chop it up with these Week 9 quarterbacks!

Check out our NFL Week 9 DFS Quarterbacks!

Josh Allen ($8,500 DraftKings/$9,300 FanDuel)

Allen hit a pothole at home against GreenBay Sunday night, only completing 18 passes and tossing two picks. We’re all not perfect, but expect Josh to get back on track this week in New York. The Jets’ defense has in fact stepped it up a notch racking up 21 sacks with 9 interceptions through 8 games, but Allen is on another level. He’s got the highest floor, the highest ceiling at the position, and the safest by far in any type of DFS format. In 2021, Allen totaled over 500 passing yards with 4 touchdown passes in 2 games against the Jets.

Kyler Murray ($7,400 DraftKings/$8,200 FanDuel)

He came through for us big time last week with close to 30 fantasy points and we can look forward to doubling down against Seattle in Week 9. Murray has returned to his true form in fantasy with the reinstatement of teammate DeAndre Hopkins. The Cardinals’ franchise quarterback clearly performs better with his primary receiver back in the lineup (22 REC/262 YDS/1 TD). We may actually get that highly anticipated shoot-out we expected from Week 6 this time around too, let it ride with Kyler.

Justin Herbert ($7,200 DraftKings/$7,800 FanDuel)

With one week removed from a bye hopefully Herbert is 100% healed up, but are his receivers? He’ll have a chance to throw against one of the worst secondaries (29th in QB DVOA) in Atlanta and we know already Mike Williams is out. But if Herbert can at least get Keenan Allen healthy for Week 9 we should see some serious action on that turf. Keenan Allen has not played since Week 7 where he only saw a 32% snap share, if he’s 100% we can feel good about Herbert in this juicy matchup.

Tua Tagovailoa ($6,700 DraftKings/$8,000 FanDuel)

We witnessed Tagovailoa light up Detroit for 32 DK points on Sunday, and is fully capable of a repeat performance against a Chicago Bears’ defense that just traded away its finest of Robert Quinn and Roquan Smith this past week. Miami’s dual threat of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have toasted corners and safeties all season. Now that Chicago’s pressure on Tua to possibly be a lot softer this weekend, they may both also go for over 150 yards a piece again.

Kirk Cousins ($6,200 DraftKings/$7,900 FanDuel)

Kirk had this game circled on his calendar since the schedule was released back over the summer he will be fired up, and rightly so. He will be out there in D.C. strutting his stuff to owner Dan Snyder, the man who refused to pay him back in 2018. Loaded with receiving talent (Justin Jefferson) and recently acquiring tight end TJ Hockenson from Detroit, Kirk will drop the hammer on the Commanders’ garbage St–Juste/Fuller led secondary.

Justin Fields ($5,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)

The Bears’ sophomore year quarterback is beginning to get the feel for the NFL. The Chicago coaching staff has evidently made some adjustments in their play calling to utilize the strength of Fields‘ skillset. By stomping the Pats on the road and putting up 29 points on the Cowboys it’s fair to say Fields is breaking out of his shell and will continue to shine at home hosting the Dolphins. Given the fact that Tua and company will also be lighting up the scoreboard, Fields will need to keep up the pace and sling it to Miami’s 26th ranked pass defense.

As we approach midway through the season here in Week 8, Quarterbacks have become an essential piece to winning in DFS thus far. We gave you Joe Burrow last week, who brought many of us to the promise land with nearly 40 fantasy points. But for this slate, we lose a few go-to quarterbacks to the byes and primetime scheduling. No worries, we always have you covered at WinDaily. Keep our projection model saved to your browser and keep up to speed in DFS. Well, it’s time to make the doughnuts and sort through Week 8’s quarterbacks!

Let’s check out our NFL Week 8 DFS Quarterbacks!

Jalen Hurts ($8,300 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel)

Philly is fresh off of a bye week and ready to keep steamrolling its competition. Hurts gets to stay local in a battle for bragging rights of the great state of PA. Pittsburgh’s secondary has been struggling with injuries all season long, including last year’s defensive player of the year TJ Watt. Their DVOA is at rock bottom of the league in air yards (29th) and total yards (28th), easy pickings for a top-three quarterback in the NFL.

Kyler Murray ($7,500 DraftKings/$8,200 FanDuel)

Although Murray has not broken 20 fantasy points since Week 4, Minnesota’s 28th-ranked pass defense offers him a way back into the good graces of fantasy managers. He showed us a glimpse last game of what’s to come, hooking up with recently activated DeAndre Hopkins on 10 receptions for 103 yards. Now that his number one target Hopkins has resurfaced and shown that he still has the goods, Murray can get back to business in DFS.

Tua Tagovailoa ($6,200 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)

Tua on his first drive since his concussion led the Fins on a 70-yard touchdown drive at home against the Steelers. His arm looked strong throwing for 260 yards and a touchdown, but looked stronger was his heart. He showed no fear rushing 4 times for 15 yards, two of them were head-first dives. Tua this Sunday will see his worst opponent on paper in Detroit, who’ve allowed the most points and yards per game in the NFL this season. He’s a nice midprice-range option for this week on both formats this week.

Kirk Cousins ($6,100 DraftKings/$7,800 FanDuel)

Kirky is also fresh off a bye in Week 8 and did not even have to travel his first game back. The Cardinals are thirsty for another win after unloading on the Saints 42-34. Yet Arizona allowed 361air-yards and 4 touchdowns to backup QB veteran Andy Dalton…what scenario do you think lies for Cousins here? By far more weaponized with possibly the best receiver today in Jefferson, Captain Kirk will beam up that AZ trash of a secondary at home.

Jared Goff ($5,500 DraftKings/$7,300 FanDuel)

Goff couldn’t get out of Dallas fast enough last week, whose insane pass rush forced him to turn the ball over 4 times. Being back at home in the dome, safe from a little rain or chill, he should get back on track. Miami usually lines up in a 3-4 coverage, which places little pressure on the quarterback, favoring Jared. He should also get Amon-Ra St. Brown and hopefully D’Andre Swift back this week, against a Dolphins defense that has been bludgeoned in the passing game (27th in DVOA to quarterbacks). Keep in mind he would make a nice sleeper for a GPP as well, because of his recent lackluster performances.

Week 7 couldn’t get here any sooner, with so many upsets in Week 6 putting some of us through worse torture than a root canal. Brady came up short against a practice squad secondary in Pittsburgh, and Kyler and Geno just could not find the endzone. What was supposed to be more of a shoot-out ended up being a kicker and defensive battle. The byes are even more brutal this go-round, as we lose our cash game quarterback locks of Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. But we’re all in the same boat and we’ll work with what we have on this 11-game slate. The projection model will always be our crutch to lean on when lineup building, but here are a few QBs to think about in the meantime. As usual, you can tag me @jdicarlo78 or anyone else in the crew at WinDaily in our expert chat on Discord for any help…let’s turn the page and break down these Week 7 QBs!

Let’s check out our NFL Week 7 DFS Quarterbacks!

Lamar Jackson ($8,000 DraftKings/$8,800 FanDuel)

Jackson gave up another loss last week forcing the ball out and leading to a costly interception that ended in the game-winning touchdown by the Giants. On Sunday Lamar and the Ravens will welcome their division rival Cleveland Browns with its 30th DVOA in total defense, 29th in rushing DVOA, and allow an average of 28 points per game. Jackson will be in a get-right game to get back on a Browns’ team who look to have given up on playing defense this year.

Patrick Mahomes ($7,800 DraftKings/$8,500 FanDuel)

The second of the elite quarterbacks from Week 6 to lose by throwing a pick. Week 7 will be an uphill fight for Mahomes traveling to the Bay Area. The Niners have been the kiss of death to opposing offenses this season but lost 6 players on defense due to injury last week, including second-year safety Talanoa Hufanga. Stay up to speed on the Niners’ injury report, but either way, Mahomes will bring his “A” game in a KC pass-heavy offense that averages close to 40 pass attempts per game.

Joe Burrow ($6,900 DraftKings/$8,300 FanDuel)

Joe “Cool” may still be on cloud nine after his 4 total touchdown game back home in Louisiana. Atlanta is also coming off a big win against the Niners and has been tough in every game this year. Thanks to the Falcon corners Casey Hayward and AJ Terrell, opposing quarterbacks and receivers have feasted on a 31st DVOA passing defense. Joe should bring some of that Week 6 magic home to Cinci. against an Atlanta team who refuses to lie down to their opponents.

Justin Herbert ($7,200 DraftKings/$8,100 FanDuel)

Herbert hasn’t looked like himself since his rib injury in Week 1, only putting up 9 fantasy points at home to Denver on Monday night. Denver’s D is stacked, so don’t sweat Herbert in that game. He needs his boy Keenan Allen back desperately, who may be available this weekend after a long-awaited hamstring recovery. Allen back on the field opposite Mike Williams may be just what the doctor ordered to get Herbert rejuvenated on Sunday, and facing a soft Seattle secondary (30th in DVOA for total points allowed) would be the perfect remedy.

Dak Prescott ($6,700 DraftKings/$7,500 FanDuel)

If Dak is back, he may be worth a shot in a tournament. Since Week 2 he’s watched backup Cooper Rush manage a 4-1 record from the sidelines, and is itching to get back under center. The Cowboys host Detroit this weekend in what could be a smash spot at quarterback. The Lions for 2022 has been the most fantasy-friendly team to every opposing position, 30th in DVOA to quarterbacks. If he does get cleared he may be worth the risk of a little rust to put up big numbers back at the helm.

Tom Brady ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)

The GOAT underperformed in Pittsburgh last week, even with its string of injuries at secondary. Brady may have left his game at Robert Kraft’s wedding the night before up in New England, who knows. Hopefully, the hangover wore off by now and he can get back on track to chucking touchdowns and beating up on inferior defenses. The Panthers have been dominated by Brady since he arrived in the NFC South, in two meetings last season he threw for over 550 yards and 4 touchdowns. The Goat should easily payoff his mid-range salary for this slate.

Jimmy Garoppolo ($5,500 DraftKings/$7,200 FanDuel)

There are two ways Jimmy can ball out against Kansas City in a rematch of the 2019 Super Bowl. Whether he is playing from behind or playing to keep up with Mahomes and the Chiefs, Garoppolo will need to add extra icy hot his shoulder after this game. The Kansas City defense has allowed the second most fantasy points to contending quarterbacks this year. Also, keep up with San Fran’s injuries on defense. If they’re still less than 100 percent on Sunday, Jimmy G’s workload will far exceed the cheap price tag.

Our Discord has been lit up with screenshots so green you would think it was St. Patrick’s Day in October! The NFL from week to week has been throwing us curve balls left and right but our projection model keeps us from falling off a DFS cliff. The bye weeks have arrived, so the slates will begin to shrink from here on in, and as the player pools tighten up we need to be even more creative. Only 11 games on the main slate this weekend but we have plenty of QBs on the menu. As usual, you can tag me @jdicarlo78 or anyone else in the crew at WinDaily in our expert chat on Discord for any help…let’s keep the grind going and break down our Week 6 QBs!

Let’s check out our NFL Week 6 DFS Quarterbacks!

Josh Allen ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel) / Patrick Mahomes ($8,000 DraftKings/$8,600 FanDuel)

In a rematch of one of the most thrilling AFC Divisional games on record, last year’s shootout between the Bills and Chiefs features two of the best quarterbacks in the game today. Take your pick, it’s a lay-up here and you can’t go wrong either way. Allen and Mahomes need no explanation and have both been red-hot, each coming off of 4-touchdown pass performances. They will continue to air it out in Week 6, but keep in mind Buffalo lost that divisional playoff game by a coin toss, which could be fermenting in Josh Allen’s head all year. I would lean more his way on Sunday.

Kyler Murray ($7,300 DraftKings/$8,300 FanDuel)

With a losing record at 2-3, Murray will crush it at home facing the Seahawks, who rank 25th in DVOA for quarterbacks. Seattle also sags at 30th in DVOA for rushing, and with a banged-up James Connor and Darrel Williams, Murray himself may have to pick up the slack with his legs too. Murray has quietly been a stud all season for fantasy, even producing value in 4th quarter-garbage time. Totally safe spot here for cash, and he’ll save you some cap space to pay up elsewhere in your lineups.

Tom Brady ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,500 FanDuel)

The guy’s been in the business for over 20 years and really needs no introduction. The GOAT is in the “Steel City” for Week 6 and will look to keep the momentum moving in that direction. Pittsburgh’s pass coverage was put on blast last week, Buffalo’s Josh Allen threw 4 touchdowns…by halftime. So we have Brady again at a discount in a juicy matchup for the second week in a row. Tampa’s O-line is still a bit shaky but we can rest easy on Brady, who like a surgeon will dissect the Steelers’ secondary that is ranked 27th in DVOA.

Kirk Cousins ($6,000 Draftkings/$7,600 FanDuel)

Not only will Kirky be soaking in some rays while sipping a mai tai in Florida, but he’ll also be picking apart the injury-ridden Miami defense. Corners Nick Needham and Xavien Howard have been struggling to keep up with receivers (30th in DVOA) as they await the return of Byron Jones, who has yet to make his season debut. Miami’s rushing defense also got gashed by the Jets last week (230 total yards/2 touchdowns to running backs). If Minnesota can get Dalvin Cook going early, Cousins will flourish in play-action and crush his mid-range price tag this week.

Geno Smith ($5,700 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)

Russell who? Smith has caught the entire league off-guard with his top-notch leadership and efficiency on the field. He currently leads the NFL in completion percentage (75%) with a rating of 113.2. And they were not all cupcake matchups either, beating Denver at home and recently going toe to toe in N’Orleans putting up 24 fantasy points. At this point in the season, we can’t sleep on Smith and his production. Because of Seattle’s invisible defense, he finds himself playing at full throttle for 4 quarters. Geno will be in another smash spot for Week 6 at Arizona, who have allowed over 1,300 air yards and 8 touchdowns for 5 games.

We’re already a month into the NFL season and our quarterback plays have been studs! Check out our projection model, the numbers don’t lie…Hurts, Allen, and Burrow were all right here so stay tuned. This week is pretty cut and dry with few clear-cut paths to nailing this spot, so we may not want to force certain quarterbacks in our lineups. In a nutshell…we’re paying up for the Tomahawk Steak or paying down for the Roast Beef at quarterback this week plain and simple. As always tag me @jdicarlo78 or anyone else in the crew at WinDaily in our expert chat on Discord for any help…Now on to our Week 4 QBs!

Let’s check out our NFL Week 4 DFS Quarterbacks!

Josh Allen @ BAL ($8,400 DraftKings/$8,900 FanDuel)

Last week’s showdown in Miami was not all the hype we expected for fantasy, but Allen still got his rocks off. He’s one of the most obvious choices but we can’t afford to miss in cash games. We can’t go wrong with Allen in another smash spot against a fraudulent Baltimore secondary, who has already hemorrhaged 1,100 passing yards and 7 touchdowns. Buffalo’s golden boy has been averaging over 30 fantasy points per game since Week 1 and is in line to serve up another 30 burger this weekend.

Lamar Jackson vs. BUF ($8,300 DraftKings/$8,800 FanDuel)

Same game, Lamar is the quarterback 1B of this potential gunslinger showdown in the AFC. Action Jackson had a slow start but lately, he’s been a man possessed. Averaging over 40 DraftKings points for the last two games, Lamar is leading the league in touchdown passes (10) and QB rating (119). He is another effortless decision this week at quarterback.

Jalen Hurts vs. JAX ($8,2000 DraftKings/$8,600 FanDuel)

Who greased Roger Goodell for Philly’s season schedule? Hurts gets another walk in the park in Week 4 with the Jags. The Eagles have emerged as an NFC contender behind their third-year signal-caller, leading the position at yards per attempt (9.37) and rushing touchdowns (3). Jacksonville has already surrendered 805 passing yards and 5 touchdowns to opposing quarterbacks this year, Hurts will get work in again at home.

Jared Goff vs. SEA ($5,900 DraftKings/$7,600 FanDuel)

Goff’s been pretty consistent with a modest stat line to start the season. But as his play improves, his salary starts creeping up too. The volume is back with a total of 748 passing yards and 7 touchdowns on the season, Goff can beef up those numbers even more with Seattle. Running back D”Andre Swift is set to miss some time which may lead to Goff needing to throw, even more, making his target machine Amon Ra even more fantasy reliable.

Mitch Trubisky vs. NYJ ($5,100 DraftKings/$6,500 FanDuel)

Risk it for the Biscuit! We will just have to keep picking on those weak Jets, and with Trubisky why not?! Too risky you think? No way not at his salary, he can get there with his legs alone with his value. Mitch knows his days are numbered in Pittsburgh with Kenny Pickett on deck, so expect him to go out at home and put on a good show. Now his stats (569 PA YDS./2 TDs/1 RUSH TD) are not the greatest, but from a DFS standpoint, he allows you to have the cap to stack in on a Baltimore/Buffalo type of game.

Week 2 was insane if you were a quarterback in the NFL! Not one, but two of them scored over 40 DraftKings fantasy points in Baltimore! Lamar and Tua caught most of us off guard and hit big in many tournaments, but our picks cashed in too. Wentz, Goff, Carr, Murray, and Stafford were all served up on a platter right here and in the projection model. Well, back to the grind guys, on to Week 3! We stay in the kitchen at WinDaily, some spicy gunslingers coming right up. Remember, once you’re done with this quick read, check us out on our expert chat on Discord.

Let’s check out our NFL Week 3 DFS Quarterbacks!

Josh Allen @ MIA ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel)

Captain Obvious… Yes, Josh Allen is good at football. But we figured out of respect for his talent, we would shed some light on him this week. Allen’s 600–plus passing yards with 7 touchdowns in two games has put him at the top of the menu. This week he’ll battle Tagovailoa for control of the AFC East in Miami, who’s coming off an EA Madden-style game of 469 yards and 6 touchdowns. But Buffalo’s defense has been bulletproof, leading us to consider Tua’s time with the ball could be capped. Allen’s high floor/high ceiling has been invincible at quarterback and the safest to draft but it comes at a hefty price.

Jalen Hurts @ WSH ($7,600 DraftKings/$8,100 FanDuel)

Pay up for this green giant. Hurts has fully emerged as a dual-threat quarterback in 2022, with 577 yards thru the air and 147 on the ground with 4 total touchdowns in only his first two games. And the juicy matchups just keep getting better for Hurts in D.C. where the Commanders have allowed 808 total yards and 5 touchdowns to start the year. Oh, and I won’t forget to mention he’ll square off against the guy he replaced, Carson Wentz. This game will be epic for both teams given the scenario and as much as it can turn into a shootout, the Philly D could put Washington in a vice as we saw against the Vikings.

Kirk Cousins vs. DET ($6,700 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)

Beam us up with Captain Kirk. Forget what we saw in Phila and check out Cousins in the driver’s seat hosting Detroit. In just 2 games the Lions dished out 65 points so this puts him in the perfect bounce back situation. Detroit can hold up their end of the bargain in scoring as well (72) giving Kirk a solid floor to produce value. He may draw less attention from the field too, so a tournament for Cousins wouldn’t be a bad idea on Sunday.

Joe Burrow @ NYJ ($6,600 DraftKings/$7,600 FanDuel)

Joe Cool 3 times the charm? We know he’s looked terrible.The O-line issues with 13 sacks, the 4 picks against Pittsburgh, its all on tape. But let’s give him the benefit of the doubt as he missed training camp because of an emergency appendectomy. And maybe with a few adjustments by the coaching staff, he can get back on track this week against a Jets secondary that can’t guard anybody. Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Mixon are all healthy so we can get behind Burrow one more time. A GPP would be so sneaky but a slight risk for cash.

Matt Stafford @ ARI ($6,500 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)

Run it back with Matt. Just as we predicted Stafford would show up ready to ball out against Atlanta last Sunday and delivered. Not much of an increase in price for a potential repeat performance in Arizona either so let’s get him in cash or a tourney why not. Divisional games can be a dog fight though, but those Arizona corners seem to be still wet a little behind the ears. His weapons are healthy, Allen Robinson made his debut in the endzone, but the run game is still under review. Even more reason for him to throw for the Dub.

Derek Carr @ TEN ($5,900 DraftKings/$7,100 FanDuel)

Dude where’s my Carr? At 0-2 the Raiders can’t catch a break. The Renfrow fumble cost them the game in O.T. but Carr still gave us a win in DFS at his modest price tag. Tennessee is still picking up the pieces after Monday night’s massacre by the Bills, and now on a short week head to Vegas. It may be another long day for the bottom ranked offense (28th) and defense (30th). Carr is averaging 18 fantasy points so far for the year which is a nice floor to have at that salary.
