Today’s ResultsDB Top DFS Scorers From Last Week

Dalvin Cook

dalvin-cook-800x480

DraftKings Salary: $8,200
FanDuel Salary: $9,300
Yahoo Salary: $37
DraftKings Fantasy Points: 42.2
DraftKings Fantasy Ownership: 38.58%

Dalvin Cook headlines the Stars Report for the second week in a row as he ran all over the Detroit Lions for 206-yards and two touchdowns. When healthy, Cook has put up impressive numbers this season, topping 146 total yards in 4-of-6 games he played in full and scoring a touchdown in every game. Cook has proven that he is a premier option at the RB position and we need to consider rostering him in DFS every week regardless of matchup.

Kyler Murray

DraftKings Salary: $7,800
FanDuel Salary: $8,600
Yahoo Salary: $37
DraftKings Fantasy Points: 41.92
DraftKings Ownership: 6.52%

Man, Kyler Murray is so dang fun to watch play football. Murray balled out to be Week 9’s highest-scoring fantasy QB as he threw for 283-yards and three touchdowns and added 106-yards and a touchdown on the ground. Murray is now listed as Week 10’s highest priced quarterback in a home matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Murray’s gaudy price tag drove down his ownership in Week 9 and it’s likely to do the same against the Bills despite dropping 41+ DK points in back-to-back games.

Tyreek Hill

DraftKings Salary: $7,100
FanDuel Salary: $8,300
Yahoo Salary: $24
DraftKings Fantasy Points: 36.1
DraftKings Ownership: 6.18%

Tyreek Hill was Week 9’s highest-scoring wide receiver as he caught 9-of-18 targets for 113-yards and scored two touchdowns. Hill ended up being an excellent tournament pivot off much higher-owned players like Tyler Lockett (dud), Julio Jones (meh), and Stefon Diggs (solid). The Chiefs have a Week 10 bye week and then will return to action against the Raiders on Sunday Night Football in Week 11.
