Mike Johnson (MJohnson86) has racked up nearly $500,000 in DFS profit as an NFL tournament player with success in all styles of contests
Quarterback ::
Josh Allen – Sometimes it doesn’t have to be difficult. The salary structure allows us to pay up for Allen on FanDuel without sacrificing too much and we know he can blow the slate away. We can stack him with Shakir or a tight end or not at all.
Trevor Lawrence – On the other end of the salary spectrum from Allen, Lawrence provides us some cheaper upside with clear stacking partners in BTJ, Meyers, or Strange – all of whom are also cheap.
Joe Burrow – Anytime you can play Burrow at low ownership in a game where the Bengals are likely to be trailing, you should.
Matthew Stafford – The Rams have an elite setup this week with a great matchup in a dome and a high likelihood of scoring four or five touchdowns as they look to bounce back from last week’s loss.
Running Back::
James Cook – Cook is coming off a 35-touch performance against a solid Steelers defense and now has one of the best possible matchups for a running back in a critical matchup. Elite talent, volume, matchup, and game environment.
Kenneth Walker – A week after being extremely popular, Walker has an even better matchup at lower ownership in a game Seattle’s offense is highly likely to be successful in.
RJ Harvey – The Broncos are going to use multiple RBs, but Harvey is the primary guy and this spot is elite for the entire team. He catches some passes and is the goal line back. Denver might roll in this one and Harvey’s ceiling is enormous with 20-touch potential.
Jonathan Taylor – Similar to Josh Allen, we can afford JT on Fanduel without compromising the rest of our roster. The Jaguars aren’t necessarily a matchup we usually target as on paper they are strong against running backs, but if JT dropped 40 this week our reaction would probably just be “oh yea, their performance against all those other RBs wasn’t really relevant here”.
Josh Jacobs – Jacobs had a full practice on Friday and handled 18 touches last week against Detroit. The engine of Green Bay’s offense should be busy in an elite matchup and high-leverage game.
Breece Hall – Let’s not forget that Miami was a defense we were targeting not that long ago. A recent improvement in performance doesn’t make them a team to avoid and Hall has elite talent and volume on his side at a reasonable salary.
Chase Brown – Great matchup, potential shootout, modest salary, modest ownership.
