DFS Value Report Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of the NFL season! Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) are heating up, and identifying value and leveraging matchups is crucial. This guide provides actionable advice for both DraftKings and FanDuel, focusing on key strategies and potential players to target. Remember, projections are just a starting point – consider game script and potential ownership percentages.

Key Strategies for Week 3

1. Target High-Scoring Games: Focus on matchups with high over/under totals. Games like Chiefs vs. Bears or Cowboys vs. Cardinals project significant fantasy points.
2. Exploit Matchup Advantages: Identify players facing weak defenses, particularly against the pass. Look for corners allowing high yardage or safeties struggling in coverage.
3. Consider Game Script: If a team is expected to be leading, their running back may see fewer touches. Conversely, trailing teams often rely heavily on passing.
4. Monitor Injury Reports: Late-breaking news can drastically alter player value. Stay updated on injuries and potential replacements.
5. Don’t Chase Last Week’s Results: Avoid simply rostering players who performed well last week. Focus on current matchups and opportunities.

Value Picks – Quarterbacks

• Justin Fields (CHI vs KC): High ceiling in a potentially high-scoring game. His rushing ability adds a safe floor.
• Dak Prescott (DAL vs ARI): Facing a vulnerable Cardinals defense, Prescott is poised for a big performance.
• Jordan Love (GB vs NO): Improved significantly in Week 2. Could be a sneaky value play.

Value Picks – Running Backs

• Jahmyr Gibbs (DET vs ATL): Increasing role in the Lions offense. Potential for both rushing and receiving yards.
• Antonio Gibson (WAS vs BUF): Could see increased carries with Brian Robinson’s usage uncertain.
• Jerick McKinnon (KC vs CHI): Reliable pass-catching back in a potent offense.

Value Picks – Wide Receivers

• Skyy Moore (KC vs CHI): Opportunity to step up with Rashee Rice’s status uncertain.
• Kadarius Toney (KC vs CHI): Big play potential, but risky due to inconsistency.
• Rondale Moore (ARI vs DAL): Could benefit from increased targets in a pass-heavy game.

Value Picks – Tight Ends

• Dalton Schultz (HOU vs JAX): Consistent target for CJ Stroud.
• Juwan Johnson (NO vs GB): Red zone threat with potential for touchdowns.

Good luck this week!
