 | ||||||||
Quick Hits
- #1 – Michael Vick – This is the no brainer of the year. You just can’t have a guy this explosive at this price. Serious oversight on DK’s part.
- #2 – Peyton Manning – big price on Peyton, but I think the first game is what we will see from this time this year. No running game and a healthy Manning with a ton of weapons to put up consistant points every week
- #3 – Matt Ryan – Nice price drop for a guy who is in a pass first offense. Sjax looks less imosing than he used to
- #4 – Drew Brees – priced slightly under the first tier even though he is a top QB in fantasy
- #5 – Aaron Rodgers – if he can have a good game against SF he can cetainly destroy the Skins
- #6 – Matthew Stafford – decent matchup and the Lions just don’t run the ball
- #7 – Carson Palmer – great weapon in Fitz and a nice matchup
- #8 – Alex Smith – with charles banged up it may fall more on alex smith this week
- #9 – Sam Bradford – this price is too low for a QB with some new weapons ina projected high scoring game
- #10 – Eli Manning – he just threw for 400 yards and a slew of TD’s but is priced in a low tier of QB’s

Chop’s Top-10 Running Backs on DraftKings This Week
| 1 | Eddie Lacy | $4200 | 2 | Ryan Mathews | $4100 | 3 | Adrian Peterson | $8000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  | ||||||
| 4 | Daryl Richardson | $3700 | 5 | LeSean McCoy | $6300 | 6 | DeMarco Murray | $5400 |
 |  |  | ||||||
| 7 | Arian Foster | $7600 | 8 | Ray Rice | $7500 | 9 | Matt Forte | $6600 |
 |  |  | ||||||
| 10 | Maurice Jones-Drew | $5700 | ||||||
 | ||||||||
Quick Hits
- #1 – Eddie Lacy – close to min price for a starting rb on a big time offense. The Matchup isn’t bad as McCoy just destroyed this defense
- #2 – Ryan Mathews – another rb priced near the bottom. Matthews actually had a decent fantasy game against an extremely tough defense. Tough to pass on a price this low
- #3 – Adrian Peterson – All-Day should be played all day at this cheap price. He is the best RB and fantasy RB in the game and should be max dollars, not $8K
- #4 – Daryl Richardson – starting RB on a decent offense in a possible high scoring game and his price is only $3.7K? Vastly underpriced
- #5 – LeSean McCoy – after that Monday night game he shuld be second in salary to AP
- #6 – DeMarco Murray – good first game and his price actually fell
- #7 – Arian Foster – still had 18 carries and 6 catches and now the price is affordable
- #8 – Ray Rice – in the same price range as Foster and, just like Foster, still a stud RB who is capable going off any week
- #9 – Matt Forte – looked good in firt game of season and draws a slightly easier matchup this wek.
- #10 – Maurice Jones-Drew – good price and good matchup.

Chop’s Top-10 Wide Receivers on DraftKings This Week
| 1 | DeSean Jackson | $5100 | 2 | Pierre Garcon | $5100 | 3 | Victor Cruz | $5600 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |  |  | ||||||
| 4 | Golden Tate | $3600 | 5 | Chris Givens | $3700 | 6 | Danny Amendola | $5800 |
 |  |  | ||||||
| 7 | Greg Jennings | $4700 | 8 | Mike Wallace | $5200 | 9 | Wes Welker | $6900 |
 |  |  | ||||||
| 10 | Dez Bryant | $6700 | ||||||
 | ||||||||
Quick Hits
- #1 – DeSean Jackson – this price doesn’t make any sense. He will be 90% owned this weekend across DK
- #2 – Pierre Garcon – again, a easy price tage for a good WR. He has a decent matchup in a game that projects to be a shootout
- #3 – Victor Cruz – along the same lines as the first 2 wr’s in this , he is mid $5K’s coming off a monster game.
- #4 – Golden Tate – This is a column based on value and you get a teams #1 wr for almost min price. If a team is beating SF defense it is through the air, not the ground
- #5 – Chris Givens – another near min price for a solid wr in a high scoring game
- #6 – Danny Amendola – salary didn’t crack $6 K this week and he is coming off a big 10 catch game
- #7 – Greg Jennings – low salary, and is the teams best target this week. Stacking the box against AP is a probability and Jennings could benefit
- #8 – Mike Wallace – Ind secondary isnt imposing and Wallace is complaing of a lack of targets. This could be a huge week for him
- #9 – Wes Welker – $6.9K and looked every bit like Peytons trusty security blanket
- #10 – Dez Bryant – price drop on a top tier WR.

- #3 – Jordan Cameron – very cheap and very productive week 1
- #4 – Julius Thomas – dirt cheap price and clearly Manning has a connection with him
