Maximus (Steve Kleisath) is a Fanduel focused player who specializes in smaller-field contests under 1,000 entries
The 350K Sun NFL Snap Tournament is alive and well for another week as an option for your FanDuel large field play, with 50% of the field gettiing paid and $50,000 up top. 20 entry max at $4 a team is great practice and always the possibility of a year-changing win if the variance matches the skill of the builds.
Week 3 presents us with some potential instant value off of Week 2 injuries, in particular at the QB and RB positions. Fanduel pricing on QBs is flexible enough that we don’t need to drop that far down to backups. At the RB spot, there is a clear candidate that will be mentioned. Let’s dive in and dig…
Caleb Williams has averaged a little over 20 FD points through two games this season. That would be good for almost 3X his salary this week and he now faces a Dallas Cowboys secondary that got torched at home by Russell Wilson to the tune of 450 yards and 3 TDs. Williams continues to develop chemistry with Rome Odunze on the field and in Ben Johnson’s system overall. He even had a designed run carved out against the Lions last week, showing some rushing versatility. At home this week, there is no better time than now to navigate the Bears to their first win of the season and put up some fantasy point goodness for our rosters.
With Adam Thielen shipped off to the Minnesota Vikings, and not much behind him in the receiving corps for the Carolina Panthers, Tetairoa McMillan has been the focus for QB Bryce Young and recorded his first 100-yard receiving game in just his second pro appearance last week. He will go up against a division rival this week, in the Atlanta Falcons, whose best CB, A.J. Terrell, is “week to week” with a hamstring injury and questionable to play in this one. McMillan’s price has barely moved and is a bargain for a clear alpha WR1. His generous salary at $6,000 can help you afford a bring back like Bijan Robinson if stacking this game. Or play him as a value “onesie” to free up salary in your roster building for other areas of the slate. Wheels up for “Tet”.
The Indianapolis Colts offense has looked better than expected under Head Coach Shane Steichen and QB Daniel Jones this season. Tyler Warren brings a lot to the table in their receiving corps to help with this progress. Like a swiss army knife, Warren has lined up all over the field. As a traditional TE, a slot wide receiver, and even in the backfield in fullback mode, creating mismatches and unpredictability for defenses. Warren has had healthy target counts by tight end standards, of 7 and 9 targets in Week 1 and Week 2. With this usage, the touchdown regression is coming. Watch his injury status as he returned to limited practice Thursday from a toe issue, but his salary at $5,600 has literally not moved and is a steal to get TE1 talent on your team this week and going forward.
