DraftKings and FanDuel Picks for NFL Week 3 Contests
Week two is in the books and it was a mixed bag for our picks. Our QB picks, Dak Prescott and Kyler Murray were both solid, and Dak was on the winning Millionaire Maker and Sunday Million lineups (see below). Running back was our one clear soft spot this week. Derrick Henry somehow managed to disappoint against the Jaguars, who have somehow resurrected their run defense in one offseason. Austin Ekeler was out-carried by Joshua Kelley 16 to 23 (somehow playing with the lead) despite Ekeler averaging 5.8 YPC to…

The first, found below, shows each team’s SOS based on the 2019 stats for the opponents on their…

2020 Quarterback Sleepers
Is there such a thing as a sleeper QB? While it is unlikely we see a quarterback ever jump from a preseason ranking of 25 to a top 3 player at the position, recent history has shown us guys can certainly make the jump from 15 to 1 like Lamar Jackson did last season. Our Favorite Sleeper QB Picks for 2020 We typically do not see true sleeper QB’s in fantasy football. Instead what we tend to see is guys making the jump from one tier to the next. For…
2020 Running Back Sleepers
The running back position is easily the hardest to find sleepers for. This is what makes it the most important position in fantasy football. The guys at the top of the draft are typically really, really good, and the guys at the bottom of the draft typically worthless. That being said, we think we have five RB’s that are flying under the radar right now and offer significant upside where they are currently ranked. Let us know which sleeper RB of this group offers the most value at their current…
2020 Wide Receiver Sleepers
The top 30 fantasy WR’s from last season featured several new faces that could have been considered sleepers at this time last year including DeVante Parker, Michael Gallup, D.J. Chark, A.J. Brown, and Terry Mclaurin. We will almost certainly have another batch of new names at the top of the position group again this season, but before we share our picks, let us know which of these guys you think stands out as a 2020 sleeper. Our Favorite Sleeper WR’s Highlights from the article we wrote this time last year…
