I’ll be posting NFL DraftKings picks here. I cannot post lineups anymore, but I will list some players I like each week.
I can no longer post any lineups, per DraftKings rules. I will be trying something different this year, which is to rank my order of preferences by position taking price into account.
Top DFS Quarterbacks:

Players to Avoid: Breece Hall (6300), D’Andre Swift (5700), Kimani Vidal (5500), Tetairoa McMillan (6400), Jake Ferguson (5500), Travis Kelce (4700). Breece Hall has a tough matchup against Carolina’s No. 1 run defense. … D’Andre Swift is coming off a great Monday night performance, but New Orleans is a much tougher matchup. … Kimani Vidal goes from facing the league’s worst run defense to one of the league’s best run defenses. … Tetairoa McMillan scored two touchdowns last week, but will now have to deal with Sauce Gardner. … CeeDee Lamb’s return means bad news for Jake Ferguson. The same applies to Travis Kelce and Rashee RIce’s return.
Top Captains: Jaylen Warren (12600). Cincinnati has a dreadful run defense that recently allowed J.K. Dobbins to rush for 100 yards. Jaylen Warren figures to have a huge game.
Top Spend-Up FLEX (in addition to Top Captains): Ja’Marr Chase (12000), Tee Higgins (10000). You’ll want to play one of the Cincinnati receivers because the Bengals will be in catch-up mode. Ja’Marr Chase is safer, while Tee Higgins is more contrarian.
Top Value: Noah Fant (3600). Cincinnati’s two other receivers are sidelined, so Noah Fant should see an expanded target share.
Top Punt Play: Andrei Iosivas (2800). Mike Gesicki is out, which means Andrei Iosivas will be more involved.
Player to Avoid: Chase Brown (8000). Pittsburgh’s defense has improved lately, and Joe Flacco is dumping the ball off less than Jake Browning was.
