Just think, this week you could turn $1 into $1000 or $27 into $1 MILLION just by using your fantasy football knowledge over at Draft Kings!!
I do not like this Thursday night game between the Bills and Dolphins from a fantasy perspective whatsoever. Fred Jackson is not playing, Lamar Miller will be limited, the Dolphins are without their All-Pro LT Brandon Albert for the rest of the season and the Bills have Kyle Orton as their QB savior. This game is a complete PASS for me.
But, on Draft Kings there is always some major overlay in the Thursday night contests. This means you can enter the Thursday contests but not use any of the players in this contest. Thus you can wait up until 1 PM ET on Sunday before finalizing your lineups for the "Thursday" contests. I highly recommend this strategy as it is something that can make you a lot of money.
Don't worry though, if you are one of those people who absolutely has to have action on tonight's game then there are a couple of plays in here for you as well. Sammy Watkins is my favorite of all the plays tonight but you could also play a little RB roulette and see if you get lucky.
