There is not a hotter defense in the NFL than the St. Louis Rams right now. The Rams are coming off back to back shutouts and now get their chance at Drew Stanton who has been awful lately. The game tonight is going to be a low scoring defensive battle which is not good for the positions players in DFS. The St Louis defense is the only position you should be looking to roster. This is a great game to fade and let the other suckers try to find offensive production that will be non existent.
The Quarterback position will offer plenty of value this weekend and provides a good week to avoid paying top price. Drew Brees is the best option if you are looking for something safe as the Saints travel to Chicago. The Bears defense can not stop anyone in the air which lead to New Orleans rebounding with a big game after a tense week of practice where the coaching staff was very unhappy.
At the running back position, Jamaal Charles has a fantastic match-up vs. Oakland and has really been a roll lately which should continue this week. There is also some value to be found with Fred Jackson, Dan Herron and Latavius Murray. Jackson is always under valued, Herron is starting to see short yardage work and Murray comes at a big discount for a full time running back.
is the best option at the wide receiver position and should be in every lineup on Draftkings with the full point PPR scoring. There are a few value receivers to keep an eye on if the starters are out this week. Harry Douglas is a steal if Julio Jones is out with his hip injury and Derek Hagan provides sneaky value if Kendall Wright is not able to play with his hand injury. The bargain of the week could very well be Marquees Wilson as he takes over as the starter in Chicago as Brandon Marshall is now out for the season. Wilson is minimum price on both sites.
DFS playbook is going back Jimmy Graham this week at Tight End. Graham has a very good chance of multiple TD's against the Bears. It is just a matter of time before Graham goes off. Delanie Walker will make a nice fall back option if you don't want to pay the price for Graham. Good Luck this week and look for the updated playbook on Saturday.
