For normal leagues, I&#8217;ll pick some players outside the top 10 and 15 who I think will play well as well as some higher rated players who I see underachieving using\u00a0the ESPN rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I went 11-9 in underachievers and overachievers, and 12-7 in what was a successful week for me in FanDuel. Let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n<h4>Underachievers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>New Orleans\u00a0QB\u00a0Drew Brees: He is banged up, going on the road and looking older by the week, there are better options.<\/li>\n<li>Minnesota Vikings QB\u00a0Teddy Bridgewater: He looks to be a game manager and until it changes, stay away.<\/li>\n<li>Detroit Lions QB\u00a0Matthew Stafford: He continues to struggle against good teams.<\/li>\n<li>Cincinnati Bengals RB\u00a0Jeremy Hill: He has a few things going against him, playing a tough Baltimore Ravens run defense at their home, he was benched last week and even when he played has been underwhelming while his backup Gio Bernard has been great.<\/li>\n<li>Denver Broncos RB\u00a0C.J. Anderson: I am on defcon 4 and need to see production before I start him again.<\/li>\n<li>Baltimore Ravens\u00a0RB\u00a0Justin Forsett: He seems to be in a job share and the lack of red zone carries is concerning.<\/li>\n<li>Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y Hilton: He still looked injured and even though it&#8217;s a nice match-up, I see a more ball control kind of game this week.<\/li>\n<li>New Orleans Saints\u00a0WR\u00a0Brandin Cooks\u00a0He is putting up WR3 stats at best, they go on the road against a tough pass defense, stay away.<\/li>\n<li>Chicago Bears WR\u00a0Alshon Jeffrey: He has been in and out of practice and has to play in Seattle, there are better options.<\/li>\n<li>Dallas Cowboys\u00a0TE Jason Witten: He has numerous injuries and I can see the defense focusing on him this week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Overachievers<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Carolina Panthers QB\u00a0Cam Newton: He gets an awful defense at home plus with the rushing yards is easily a top 6 QB.<\/li>\n<li>Miami Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill: He had a big fantasy week plus the Buffalo Bills had some issues defending the pass.<\/li>\n<li>San Francisco 49ers QB\u00a0Colin Kaepernick: I expect them to be trailing and him having to throw in which he is completing 69%.<\/li>\n<li>Jacksonville Jaguars RB T.J Yeldon: The Patriots are weak against the run plus with his pass catching and the Denard Robinson injury should get 20 touches.<\/li>\n<li>Atlanta Falcons RB\u00a0Devonta Freeman: He has not played well but has no one behind him and should get 20 touches at the least.<\/li>\n<li>San Diego Chargers RB\u00a0Danny Woodhead: He is getting 15-18 touches a game and the Vikings have not been good against running backs.<\/li>\n<li>Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR\u00a0Vincent Jackson: With Jenkins out, that open up more targets in a pretty good match-up.<\/li>\n<li>Dallas Cowboys WR\u00a0Terrance Williams: I expect at least 10 targets again with the Witten injury.<\/li>\n<li>Green Bay Packers\u00a0WR\u00a0Jsmes Jones: All he does is score touchdowns.<\/li>\n<li>New York Giants\u00a0TE Larry Donnell: The Redskins have been strong but is giving up yards to the tight end.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are my FanDuel picks for the week where I will give some higher and lower salaries I like at each position, as you will see I will be focusing on the worse defenses:<\/p>\n<h4>QB<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Carolina Panthers\u00a0QB\u00a0Cam Newton, $7,900: The rushing yards plus playing the New Orleans Saints.<\/li>\n<li>Buffalo Bills\u00a0QB Tyrod Taylor, $7,000: He has been a top 10 QB this year.<\/li>\n<li>St Louis Rams QB\u00a0Nick Foles, $6,500: The Rams are back at home and the Steelers are a bottom 5 pas defense.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>RB<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0RB\u00a0Le&#8217;Veon Bell, $8,800: The Rams have been a bottom 5 rush defense.<\/li>\n<li>Buffalo Bills\u00a0RB\u00a0LeSean McCoy, $7,800: He looks healthy and playing overrated Miami Dolphins.<\/li>\n<li>Oakland Raiders RB\u00a0Latavius Murray, $7,00: The Browns have not been stout against the run.<\/li>\n<li>Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman,\u00a0$6,500: He will get all the touches.<\/li>\n<li>San Diego Chargers\u00a0RB Danny Woodhead, $6,400: Just a great price for the touches he will get.<\/li>\n<li>Houston Texans RB Chris Polk, $5,300: The best cheap option of the week at RB for a starter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>WR<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown, $9,2000: I see double digit targets and a touchdown as always.<\/li>\n<li>Atlanta Falcons\u00a0WR\u00a0Julio Jones, $9,000: Not sure how you cannot pick him.<\/li>\n<li>New York Jets WR\u00a0Brandon Marshall, $7,400: Playing the best ball in the last few years, should soak up all the targets.<\/li>\n<li>Dallas Cowboys\u00a0WR Terrance Williams, $6,500: Great price for a WR1.<\/li>\n<li>Indianapolis Colts\u00a0WR\u00a0Donte Moncrief, $6,000: Luck continues to pepper him with tons of targets.<\/li>\n<li>Green Bay Packers WR\u00a0James Jones, $5,700: Touchdowns all day every game.<\/li>\n<li>Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0WR\u00a0Marvin Jones, $5,000: My favorite cheap play at receiver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>TE<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Baltimore Ravens\u00a0TE\u00a0Crockett Gilmore, $5,400: He should be the top target of QB Joe Flacco.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thank you for reading and have a great week, feel free to ask any questions here or\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dvond\" target=\"_blank\">on Twitter<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the third week of NFL football and my start or sit column.
