DraftKings and Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Lineup Picks for NFL DFS Week 3
Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Lineup Picks and NFL DFS Advice
Week 3 of the NFL regular season is here, bringing with it a full 13-game main slate on Sunday, Sept. 22nd that kicks off at 1:00 pm ET.
Quarterbacks
Elite
Dak Prescott vs Miami Dolphins
This is the premiere match-up you need this week. He gets to face a Miami “defense” that has given up an average of 32.46 FP and Dak has been tremendous the first two games of the year. In 2 games this season Prescott has completed 51 of 62 passes which is an 82.30% completion rate and 674 yards with 7 TDs. Miami gave up 324 passing yards to Lamar Jackson in Week 1 and 264 TDs to Brady in Week 2. Prescott did lose Michael Gallup for up to 6 weeks but he still has Cooper and Zeke to go along with Witten. Miami has given up 102 actual real points in 2 weeks and honestly the Cowboys could completely dominate this week. Load up Dak as the #1 Cash QB.
Patrick Mahomes vs Baltimore Ravens
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you at all to see his name up there. He’s going to be super expensive but he’s also put up 300+ yards in both first halves to start the season. Mahomes already has thrown for 821 yards which is crazy and has 7 TDs. You need to find the WR that he is going to target this week as it’s been different the first two but I really am looking at pairing Mahomes with Robinson this weekend. Huge OVER/UNDER in this one also makes me want to take a piece of this.
Lamar Jackson @ Kansas City Chiefs
We know he can run, and we know he can throw and now he’s in the highest over/under of the week against a very weak KC Chiefs’ secondary. Jackson has completed 71.9% of his passes in the first two weeks and has thrown for 596 yards and 7 TDs so far. That ties Mahomes and Prescott with the Lead of passing TDs. Load him up and pair him with Hollywood Brown and/or Mark Andrews and watch the points fly.
Value
Jameis Winston vs New York Giants
Now listen to me here. He’s been bad, like BAD BAD. I like him for a GPP/Tournament QB but I can’t trust him in cash. There’s no way I can pair him with a RB but I also can’t just have him be a QB without pairing him with a WR. If the average NFL DFS player pairs Winston with Evans, I would rather pair him up with Godwin this week against a weak Eli-less Giants team. According to our NFL Match-Up tool, Jameis Winston is the 3rd ranked QB in week 3 against the Giants who have given up an average of 27.49 FP to the QB position the first two weeks. Again, not a cash play.
Jimmy Garrapolo vs Pittsburgh Steelers
I was off Jimmy G last week but he’s coming off the first two weeks of the season completing 67.3% of his passes for 463 yards and 4 TDs. I love a sneaky Jimmy G/Mostert/Kittle stack in this week against the Steelers. He’s a cheaper option and think he could go under 10% owned this week.
Other QBs to target: Tom Brady, Josh Allen, Deshaun Watson, Cam Newton (GPP ONLY), Mitch Trubisky (GPP ONLY)
