Week 2 is upon us and another good tournament offering from FD to make mention of…
The 300K Sun NFL Snap with 67,500 spots available. This tourney may finish with overlay and 50% (!) of the field gets paid with $40,000 up top. It’s a 20 entry max at $4 a team, and while I am more of a small field player, I will keep getting roped in with these fun early season deals.
With Week 1 in the rear view mirror, we can start to expect player pricing to become more restrictive in the building of rosters, but there is still great value to be found so let’s go digging…
While his overall numbers from Week 1 don’t look great on the face of it, my eye test along with 34 pass attempts was telling me that the Cowboys will be pass heavy this season. They were a couple of Ceedee Lamb dropped passes away from potentially pulling off a major upset on the road against the Super Bowl Champs of last season.
The Cowboys have their home opener against the New York Giants in Week 2, with extended rest from playing on Thursday the week prior, a 25 point Team Total, and Ceedee Lamb looking to make up for the drops in Week 1. A 300+ passing game is well within range for Dak this week which merits bonus points on FD this year.
Let’s go ahead and hitch George Pickens with Dak Prescott from above. Pickens had a few deep targets from Dak that created a pass interference call against CB Quinyon Mitchell in Week 1 and Pickens gets a more suspect secondary in Week 2. The Giants also lost linebacker Micah McFadden for a while to a foot injury sustained in Week 1. With another week with Dak in the books, and a price that is $2,700 less than CeeDee, give me Pickens this week!
Johnson signed a three-year deal for $30.75 million with $21.25 million guaranteed prior to the regular season start. He’s coming off of an 8 catch, 11 target Week 1, and with Forest Moreau and Taysom Hill unavailable until Week 4, Juwan Johnson is the only show in town at TE for the Saints. The Saints kept it close against the Cardinals, and facing an injured Niners team at home in Week 2, they have a chance to do it again. This could leave Johnson in a spot for volume and production for the second week in a row.
