Week 3 of the NFL season is here which means it's time for another Fantasy Alarm NFL DFS Dart Board, this time for Week 3 as we look to add some high upside GPP plays that didn't end up making into this week's NFL DFS Playbook. 

 

 

 

The Week 2 NFL DFS Dart Board hit with the Wan'Dale Robinson touchdown but, as is the case with all dart throws, sometimes they miss the mark. 

We will look towards our NFL DFS Week 3 Dart Board for similar success so we can cash those GPP lineups with some top value DFS picks.

NFL DFS Week 3 Dart Board Preview

Week 3 of the NFL season is always an interesting week because we are now trying to figure out which Week 1 performances we can trust and which Week 1 performances we can't.

For the dart board and top value DFS picks, that can be especially difficult because we are looking for those low rostered, and sometimes cheap home run hitters than can be put into our GPP lineups and help us differentiate from the masses while also having a chance to put up a big score.

Make sure you check out this week's NFL DFS Show below as Howard Bender, and I take a deeper dive into the slate as we take a position by position look which includes a few callouts that will be in this NFL DFS Week 3 Dart Board.

QBAndy DaltonCAR @ LV Sun 4:0548006000

What to expect from Andy Dalton in Week 3? Well, last season in his lone start for the Panthers he threw the football 58 times for for 361 yards and two touchdowns. Can Andy Dalton be this year's Joe Flacco? Where he is an absolute fantasy darling despite being an average NFL QB? He has the receivers in Diontae Johnson, Adam Thielen and first round rookie Xavier Leggette at his disposal and gets a matchup against the Raiders this week to show us what he has. Yes, the Panthers offensive line is horrific but Dalton and his WR's are soo cheap in DFS that they making stacking with other top tier players easy to do.

Game Type: GPP
RBD'Onta ForemanNYG @ CLE Sun 1:0044005600

Foreman finished Week 2 with more carries than starting back Jerome Ford and while I absolutely LOVE Jerome Ford this week, IF the carries end up going to Foreman again at the end of the game or in the red zone then there is a good chance he ends up being the higher scoring running back this week against the Giants.

Game Type: GPP
Weather: Cloudy
RBKyle JuszczykSF @ LA Sun 4:2540004300

Yeah, we are talking fullbacks here in Week 3 DFS. Juszcyk had three catches on five targets in Week 2 against the Vikings and now the 49ers are without not just CMC but Deebo Samuel and likely George Kittle as well. He hasn't had a carry yet but it seems like Juszcyk is the de-facto pass catching back in this 49ers offense right now and could even be featured more if Kittle is out.

Game Type: GPP
Weather: Mostly sunny
WRJordan WhittingtonSF @ LA Sun 4:2542004600

The rookie played 50% of the offensive snaps in Week 2 and while he only saw a few targets  head his way we could and should see him with a bigger role in Week 3 with a full week of practice and game plan with his involvement. Whittington was a riser during the preseason and if anyone can get the most out of often over looked players it seems to be Sean McVey.

Game Type: GPP
Weather: Mostly sunny
WRRashod BatemanBAL @ DAL Sun 4:2538004900

The Ravens offense has some bigger name plays but Bateman is looking healthy and he is doing exactly what us DFS players want in a dart board play and that is stretch the field. In his two weeks he is averaging 7 fantasy points in full PPR and the Cowboys gave up some big plays last week to the Saints.

Game Type: GPP
Weather: Cloudy
WRJosh ReynoldsJAC @ BUF Mon 7:3044005200

He is the top receiver in Denver and while Bo Nix has struggled we can't ignore the production we are getting out of Reynolds who is finding the soft spots in the defense and allowing Nix to make easy throws .

Game Type: GPP
Weather: Mostly cloudy
TEEric SaubertSF @ LA Sun 4:2525004000

If Kittle is out it looks like Saubert is going to be the next man up. He doesn't profile as an elite pass catcher by any means but he is going to be a $2,500 starting tight end and he did catch two passes last week.
