Hittin' The Nuts - Squirrelpatrol's Lineup Advice: Week 3 Monday Night Football
Want to hit the nuts and take down 1st place in these massive contests posted by FanDuel and DraftKings? Who better to walk you through their favorite NFL DFS picks than Squirrelpatrol! Undoubtedly one of the best DFS players in the game today, Squirrelpatrol has accumulated 90+ Live Final seats, taking 2nd place in the 2023 DraftKings Fantasy Baseball World Championship for a $600,000 prize, and most recently, he took down the Milly Maker on this exact MNF two-game slate, just one week ago.
Week 3 of the NFL concludes with another Monday Night Football doubleheader, with the Eagles traveling to Florida to take on the Bucs and the Rams heading to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. The primary injury news is the status of Joe Burrow, who has been dealing with a calf strain, but the latest reports sound more positive. So it looks like he’ll try to give it a go tonight in the later game. Last week, some maniac won $1,000,000 playing two back-up RBs on the MNF two-game slate, so we’ll try to capture that magic with our lineups for this week.
NFL Lineup Advice for Week 3: Monday Night Football
I’ll be starting all of my lineups with a Quarterback.
Maybe not rocket science in the main slate format where we can’t even submit our lineups without a QB, but the rest of my roster will look very different depending on which QB I select. First, the question of which quarterback to select from the four who (we assume) will be going tonight – Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Baker Mayfield, and Matthew Stafford (listed roughly in order of both projection and what I expect to be their ownership in large-field contests).
I’ll roster Jalen Hurts more than any other QB, but I may end up under the field on Hurts if it looks like he will end up on 50%+ of rosters. I will likely roster Hurts at around a 40% mark for large-field multi-entry contests, with the ownership divided fairly equally among the remaining 3 QBs. For single-entry formats, I won’t hesitate to use a non-Hurts QB, with Mayfield looking like an appealing option at home against an Eagles defense that has been surprisingly giving to opposing QBs this season (326 passing yds/game allowed through two games).
