Redskins at Vikings NFL Thursday Night Football on DraftKings
A 1 – 6 banged up Washington Redskins squad with a recent head coaching swap is heading to Minnesota for Thursday Night Football. The Vikings have only lost 2 close games thus far this season, 1 to the NFC North leading Packers and 1 to The Monsters of The Midway, in the Chicago Bears. Delvin Cook and Kirk Cousins are in phenomenal form and this one’s likely to get ugly early. Bird’s the word. Share this poll.

NFL Week 7 Monday Night FanDuel and DraftKings Rundown
The Week 7 Monday night game features the Patriots in a familiar role as heavy favorites. The line in this game opened at Pats +10 and nearly 75% of the tickets are on New England. With that said, dogs have been killing it this season and are especially dangerous in low total games like this one (42 points).
The smart money has already moved the line down to Pats +9, but can the Jets actually find a way to keep this close and if so, what players hold fantasy value? Take a minute to answer our two-question Monday Night poll before we jump into our thoughts on the game.
Week 7 NFL Matchups and Fantasy Targets
Whether you are looking for streaming options for your season-long league, potential prop bet targets, or are building DFS lineups, it’s all about the matchups. Here are our favorite matchups at every position in this Week 7 fantasy slate. Let me preface this section by saying I am not going to point out how favorable the matchups are for Frank Gore, Leonard Fournette, Dalvin Cook… hopefully can identify chalk spots and decide where to use them.
Tevin Coleman
How many fantasy owners that have had shares of Coleman, Breida, Mostert, or Wilson have said ‘if only he could get a little more volume in Shanahan’s offense’. Well, it looks like Coleman owners are having their wishes granted.
With 21 touches last week and 16 carries the week before, Coleman is clearly the lead back in this offense. While he only converted that usage into 15 DraftKings PPG, we think Coleman pops against the Redskins in week 7.
Washington is 20th in the NFL in YPC allowed, and 27th in rushing YPG allowed. Combine that with the fact that the 49ers are 2nd in the NFL with 180 rushing YPG and 8 rushing TD’s, and I think we could see a monster day from Coleman in Week 7!
Top Week 7 Bargain Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings
Finding the chalk stud plays is the easy part of winning on FanDuel and DraftKings. We hear the names so often throughout the week that it’s etched in our minds by the time we start building our lineups. For week 7 that list includes guys like Watson, Fournette, Cook, Chark, Kupp, Engram… Where we separate the men from the boys is in identifying the best value plays to plug in around that core group of studs.
Our Favorite Value QB for Week 7 DFS
Matthew Stafford vs. Minnesota
Bargain plays are often determined by injury or role/depth chart changes, but occasionally there is simply just a player/price that simply does not make sense. Stafford falls into that category this week.
While he is coming off of his worse game of the season (265 yards against Packers), Stafford is averaging 20.8 DraftKings PPG at home this season. That number also happens to be exactly 4x his Week 7 salary.
I’m not worried in the least about Minnesota’s pass defense. Their secondary can easily be had, and the Lions offensive line has steadily improved over the course of this season. The Vikings gave up 300 yards and 2 touchdowns to both Carson Wentz and Matt Ryan, and Stafford is arguably playing better than both guys.
Best Bets for NFL Week 7 Games
Week 6 came and went without any huge surprises. Road teams and underdogs continue to cover at levels we have not seen in over 5 seasons. Road teams are covering at a 12% higher clip than last season and 15% higher than the 2017 season. The league as a whole feels wide open. The NFL North and West are really good, and the other 4 conferences almost feel like 1 or 2 team races already. Bird’s the word. Share this poll. Hello Rookie NFL Insight Bet the House! – Our…
2019 NFL Rookie of the Year
As with any year, there is plenty of betting interest in the 2019 NFL Rookie of the Year. While Kyler Murray jumps off the page as the favorite, his team is not going to win many games and as a pint sized running QB, he carries added injury risk. Bird’s the word. Share this poll. Hello Rookie NFL Insight Our Pick At this point, the award is Kyler Murray’s to lose. Often playing from behind in Kingsbury’s offense will allow Murray to rack up yardage. Short of Jones or Minshew…
Week 6 Monday Night DFS Primer
Bird’s the word. Share this poll. Hello Rookie NFL Insight The Matchup This game has been a shootout over the past few seasons. Prior to the Lions 31-0 shutout at the end of last season, this game went over 46 points in six straight games. So we must be expecting bunches of points in this one, right? Not so fast… When the Packers have the ball: We have said it every week this season, but this Detroit may just be the best in football. I know NE has looked good,…
Chiefs at Broncos Thursday Night Football DFS
The Kansas City Chiefs opened as a 4.5 point favorite over the Denver Broncos for the NFL Week 7 Thursday night game. In a complete reversal from what we have seen to date this season, the wise guy money has come in heavily on the Broncos and the under (50.5). Bird’s the word. Share this poll. Hello Rookie NFL Insight The Matchup On paper it looks like we may actually get an entertaining Thursday night game here. Fangio has his Broncos improving every week, but this week they find themselves…
