Daily Fantasy Plays (FanDuel)

QB: Brock Purdy vs ARI $7,700
RB: Najee Harris vs DAL $6,500
RB: Trey Sermon vs JAX $5,900
WR: DJ Moore vs CHI $6,400
WR: Michael Pittman vs JAX $6,100
TE: Hunter Henry vs MIA $5,200
DST: Denver Broncos vs LV $4,000

Anytime TDs are determined using only players with even money (+100) or better. Daily Fantasy plays are value plays. You will still want to include some high-volume superstars in your lineup.

Beginning this week, I will be doing a weekly article on Blitz Sports Media about the boom and bust fantasy players each week and their impact going forward. Check out our site, and give us a follow on all socials to get daily articles regarding fantasy football, plus NFL & College Football news.
