Notorious' NFL DFS Picks - Core Plays: Week 9

Want to know who you should build your NFL DFS lineups around each week? Derek “Notorious” Farnsworth, one of the most legendary daily fantasy sports players around, will focus on his core picks in this weekly in-depth feature for Premium subscribers.

Week 9

As I mention each and every week, make sure to check back here each Sunday morning for my update. Buffalo had 40 MPH gusts on Sunday, so I removed John Brown from the core plays. With Alvin Kamara out, I added Latavius Murray. For a quick recap, the four core plays were Leonard Fournette, Chris Carson, DeAndre Hopkins, and Murray. All four were strong plays, but they didn’t offer a ton of leverage on the field given the fact that they were all highly owned.

My biggest miss of the week had to be DaeSean Hamilton. I thought he had a perfect matchup against the Colts (who keep everything in front of them) and I expected a larger target share with Emmanuel Sanders traded to the Niners.
