These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

AARON RODGERS, GB

$7,500 DRAFTKINGS, $9,100 FANDUEL

Aaron Rodgers is an elite quarterback who has carried the Packers for years. The dynamic duo of Rodgers and Adams has delivered consistency game in and game out. Securing the points with this killer combination has been proven profitable week after week. Keep it simple stupid is a saying that will ring out when I make my lineups this week. I will play great players in great matchups and decide on other spots in my lineup to gamble and take risks. The matchup is ideal against Detroit who ranks 25th against opposing quarterbacks and is allowing 274 yards through the air. Keep it simple and lock up Rodgers and Adams in Week 14 in both cash games and tournaments.

MITCHELL TRUBISKY, CHI

$5,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,800 FANDUEL

I had shares of Trubisky last week and I am going back to him this week at his depressed price. He could have had a massive game if it wasn’t for Montgomery scoring twice on the ground. He posted a clean stat line of 267 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and only 6 rushing yards. I see an actual uptick in both touchdowns and rushing yards this week in a great matchup against the Texans. I believe Trubisky and the Bears will have to be aggressive to keep pace with the Texans, which should lead to more fantasy points for Mitchell. Lock up the value price tag and target the 23rd ranked defense at defending quarterbacks in Week 14.

RUNNING BACKS

DERRICK HENRY, TEN

$8,700 DRAFTKINGS, $9,600 FANDUEL

Derrick Henry gets stronger and stronger as the weeks go on and traditionally has his best games in the month December. I wouldn’t want to tackle Henry in any month of the year, but as the weather becomes cold, as injuries linger, and the games get more important you would not find me getting in the way of this freight train. He is too fast, too strong, too tough, and too involved in this offense for me to fade him in any plus matchup for the rest of this season. Couple that with the fact that he now draws a dream matchup against the Jaguars and I will hit the lock button! The Jaguars are 30th at defending the run game and are currently allowing 136 yards per game on the ground. Derrick Henry will be the first player locked into all my lineups and I think you should do the same.

J.D. MCKISSIC, WAS

$4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,300 FANDUEL

Paying up for guys like Henry and Adams will force us to take some value plays and there are none safer than McKissic. When Gibson went down last week, McKissic caught 10 passes for 70 yards and helped move the chains for Washington as they came back to defeat the once undefeated Steelers. As long as Gibson sits again in Week 14 lock up the best value play on the board with McKissic. His receiving upside makes him more valuable on DraftKings, but I believe he is also a great value on FanDuel. He has the floor for cash and the upside for tournaments in Week 14.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DAVANTE ADAMS, MIN

$9,300 DRAFTKINGS, $9,600 FANDUEL

As I stated above there is nobody safer at the receiver position than Davante Adams. Keep it simple and find a way to get him into your lineup again. His floor of 20 points won’t kill you on an off day and fading his upside of 40 points will ruin you if you choose to not roster him. The matchup is elite against the Lions and if they keep pace in this game we could see a shootout and a massive game from Adams. Lock him up in your cash games and make sure you get your shares in tournaments as well.

DARNELL MOONEY, CHI

$3,500 DRAFTKINGS, $5,100 FANDUEL

To fit in Rodgers, Henry, and Adams we will need to take gambles on some extreme value plays and the wide receiver position is where I will be taking on those risks. Keep your eye on Mooney because he has missed several practices this week due to personal reasons, but if he plays he is one of my favorite salary saving low owned plays of the week. He is super cheap and is in a fast paced matchup against a Texans defense which is allowing 270 passing yards per game. With the defense focused on stopping Allen Robinson, the targets should increase for Mooney who has a safe floor of 8 points with upside of 20 points. If he can connect on a deep ball or touchdown from Trubisky he will crush his value. If Mooney is out, I also like the Panthers and Broncos receivers who are matched up in another potential shootout. Robby Anderson, Curtis Samuel, Tim Patrick, and Jerry Jeudy all present strong value plays as well in Week 14.

TIGHT ENDS

NOAH FANT, DEN

$4,100 DRAFTKINGS, $5,500 FANDUEL

Noah Fant received a team high 7 targets in his week 13 matchup versus the Chiefs and the rapport with Drew Lock remained. Fant has been a disappointment almost this entire season but the talent is still there. I believe missing Lock has been detrimental to his game and that should change as the season comes to an end. While everyone else has abandoned ship, take the discount and low ownership gamble on Fant in Week 14. The matchup versus Carolina and the 21st ranked defense against tight ends should propel him to a top value on the Week 14 slate.

HUNTER HENRY, LAC

$4,400 DRAFTKINGS, $5,600 FANDUEL

To be shutout as an offense in the NFL is embarrassing. Especially one with the weapons the Chargers have. Their pride has to be hurt and it’s time for Herbert and the gang to bounce back. Henry was coming off three consecutive 10+ point performances and that’s all you need from a value tight end these days. A game like last week versus the Patriots humbles the entire team and I believe they buckle down in a home matchup versus the Falcons. The Chargers defense is terrible and it will force their offense to put up points to compete with a very competent Falcons offense. That means 40+ passing attempts for Herbert and an increased workload for Henry. Give me all the garbage time possible and the shootout potential Henry and the Chargers possess in Week 14.

DEFENSES

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

$3,000 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

Who do the Jets play? that answer is the revamped defense of the Seattle Seahawks. A team that is coming off a crushing defeat to Colt McCoy and the New York Giants. The Seahawks defense somehow has become the bright spot of this team and has held their opponents under 20 points in the past 2 games. Coupled with the fact they are bringing heavy pressure, producing sacks, and causing turnovers, the upside here in a matchup against the Jets is too much to pass up on. Lock up the Seahawks at a great value price on DraftKings.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

$3,800 DRAFTKINGS, $4,900 FANDUEL

Give me a matchup against a rookie quarterback and an offense line that can’t protect their leader any day of the week and twice on Sunday. This Saints defense is legit and became even better with a slowed paced offense run by Taysom Hill. This defense has scored double digits in 4 of the last 5 games and if you want a safe defense the Saints are the best landing spot in Week 14.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 13

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 13 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 13 of the NFL season.

Even though we have had great results in picking top DFS plays in this article every week, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Our projection model at WinDailySports.com has been firing on all cylinders this season so what I will do in this article is list some of our highest projected players based off raw points and our highest point per dollar plays based on DraftKings.com pricing.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

AARON RODGERS, GB

$6,800 DRAFTKINGS, $8,600 FANDUEL

To get Aaron Rodgers at a discount is something to be grateful for during this time of year. The $6,800 price tag on Rodgers allows you to get an elite and consistent quarterback at a value price tag. Rodgers has scored over 23 DraftKings points in each of his last 6 games and that should continue in a home matchup versus the Eagles. With no Mahomes on this slate and other top end quarterbacks in tough matchups, slightly injured, or missing key weapons, Rodgers becomes my cash-game quarterback and is in play for tournaments as well on both sites.

DEREK CARR, LV

$5,800 DRAFTKINGS, $7,200 FANDUEL

This play is not for the faint of heart. Derek Carr has looked great at times and has also failed fantasy owners on occasion. I truly believe Carr is an elite quarterback without elite receivers, which is why we are witnessing the inconsistency. If he had a true #1 to add to Waller I believe we would see a top-10 quarterback statistically. For the time being we have to work with what we have, and what we have is a $5,800 price tag and a matchup versus the New York Jets. They rank 30th at passing yards allowed and are currently surrendering 292 yards per game this season. I believe we see Carr’s 3rd 300 yard passing game of the season here and if all goes well we can add 3 touchdowns to the stat line. I will reserve Carr as a tournament play only in Week 13.

RUNNING BACKS

DERRICK HENRY, TEN

$9,200 DRAFTKINGS, $10,000 FANDUEL

If you need to know why we are targeting Derrick Henry simply go watch some highlight clips of his stiff arms. Henry is a beast and only gets stronger as the season progresses. Coming off three consecutive 100 yard games, Henry is carrying some nice momentum into this game. His price tag has risen so there is a reason to fade the price and possible ownership, but he should be the first running back you get into your cash games. The Browns rank 20th against defending the running back position and this game has the highest total of the slate. Make sure you lock in Henry in cash games and get ownership to this game in both cash games and tournaments.

NICK CHUBB, CLE

$7,700 DRAFTKINGS, $8,700 FANDUEL

I don’t generally like stacking my running backs from the same game, but I may make an exception for this week. We have another running back coming off three consecutive 100-yard games in a game with the highest total on the board. Chubb draws a even better matchup than Henry and gets the 26th ranked defense at defending running backs. The floor is safe for cash and the upside is there for tournaments as well. So lock in Chubb and feel free to stack this game with two players from each side.

WIDE RECEIVERS

JARVIS LANDRY, CLE

$6,200 DRAFTKINGS, $6,000 FANDUEL

Jarvis Landry has reverted to his role as the number one receiver in this offense since Odell had a season ending injury. Don’t look at the recent game logs because the Browns have been involved in several bad weather games as of late. Landry is the best receiver in this offense and he will be needed to keep up with the Titans. As I stated a couple times above this game has the highest total of the slate and if you can’t afford Chubb or want to game stack this game Landry would be a great fit either way. He is priced right, he has a high ceiling, and the floor in a high total game like this should pave the way to a good performance.

BRANDIN COOKS, HOU

$5,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,500 FANDUEL

Cooks has been good and even great at times this year paired with Deshaun Watson. It will be interesting to see how this duo plays out the rest of the season now that Will Fuller has been suspended for the rest of the season after reportedly violating the NFL’s performance enhancing substance policy. The news came out after DraftKings and FanDuel priced out players on this slate so Cooks has now become a glaring value. The matchup is not great by any means but the pure volume of targets provides a safe floor. The game currently has a total of 51 points putting it near the top, so getting the top target from the trailing offense should be a great spot for you to build around in Week 13.

TIGHT ENDS

MIKE GESICKI, MIA

$4,200 DRAFTKINGS, $5,700 FANDUEL

Gesicki has seen an uptick in production the past four weeks with WR Preston Williams missing in action and with the addition of Ryan Fitzpatrick back into the starting lineup. It looks like Tua will be a game-time decision this weekend, but I’m guessing he will rest for another week. If he starts, I will bump down my Gesicki ownership and if he misses the game I will bump up my ownership. The matchup is great for Gesicki, as the Bengals rank league-worst at defending the tight end. With no Kelce on this slate we need to find value at the lower tier allowing us to pay up at other skilled positions in Week 13.

JORDAN AKINS, HOU

$2,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,200 FANDUEL

Similar to the reason above in reference to Cooks, I will be rostering Akins in Week 13. He is more of a DraftKings only play where you can really stack up the rest of your lineup by locking in Akins at $2900. At this price tag you don’t need much and he truly can’t ruin your day alone. At 5 points he hits value, at 10 points he crushes value, so take the slight risk and play Akins in both cash games and tournaments on DraftKings.

DEFENSES

MIAMI DOLPHINS

$4,400 DRAFTKINGS, $4,900 FANDUEL

The Miami Dolphins have found ways each and every week to score some points. The matchup is great this week against the Bengals, and any time I have the opportunity to target a backup Quarterback please sign me up. Vegas agrees with me putting the Bengals at a team total of only 15 points. This is the lowest total on the board in Week 13 so if you have the salary to pay up lock in the Dolphins.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

$3,300 DRAFTKINGS, $4,700 FANDUEL

The way this defense started this year it’s rather shocking that I am targeting them as a possible defense in Week 13. Bringing on Dunlap and getting Adams and a couple other pieces healthy has changed things as of late. The Giants are also playing a backup quarterback and we get to target Colt McCoy in Week 13. The Giants are only projected to score 18 points as per Vegas which is the second lowest on the slate. I believe the Seahawks are the best mid range value play at defense and I will have a bunch of shares on DraftKings.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 12

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 12 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 12 of the NFL season.

Even though we have had great results in picking top DFS plays in this article every week, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Our projection model at WinDailySports.com has been firing on all cylinders so what I will do in this article is list some of our highest projected players based off raw points and our highest point per dollar plays based on DraftKings and FanDuel pricing.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

JOSH ALLEN, BUF

$7,600 DRAFTKINGS, $8,600 FANDUEL

This game in Buffalo will be a shootout and you want as much exposure as possible to this game. This game has an over under of 53 and comes in tied for the second highest total with the Raiders vs Falcons game and slightly behind the Chiefs vs Buccaneers.

Allen is coming off a bye week and two strong performances. The floor that Allen provides due to his running upside is elite and the matchup versus the 28th ranked team at defending the quarterback provides the upside we need. The Chargers offense moves at a fast pace and their defense loves to give up points so lock up Allen in Week 12.

JUSTIN HERBERT, LAC

$7,200 DRAFTKINGS, $8,400 FANDUEL

This kid is not good but great! I watched a bunch of last week’s game versus the Jets and Herbert made throws quarterbacks in the league for 5+ years don’t have the confidence, vision and arm strength to make. I know it’s too early to say this, but he reminds me of Aaron Rodgers.

Herbert has been great all season and is averaging 26.7 points a game with 2,699 passing yards through his first 9 games as a professional. The consistency, the fair price, and the matchup versus the 31st ranked defense against the quarterback is all I need to lock him up. Pair him up with some of the pass catchers below to complete the stack in Week 12.

RUNNING BACKS

DALVIN COOK, MIN

$9,500 DRAFTKINGS, $11,000 FANDUEL

If you can afford the price tag for the consistency and upside that Dalvin Cook brings go ahead and play him. It will be tough to squeeze him in on FanDuel, so I will be fading him for Nick Chubb and some other value backs. But I will try my best to get him on DraftKings for cash games and some tournaments.

Cook is coming off 27 and 30 rush attempt games and nobody in the league is getting the volume he is. He is also active in the pass game and is a dual threat any time he steps onto the field. On top of all that, the matchup versus Carolina is amazing. The Panthers have trouble defending the run and this won’t change in Week 12 versus the Vikings.

WAYNE GALLMAN, NYG

$5,000 DRAFTKINGS, $5,700 FANDUEL

I truly never thought the day would come where I am writing up Wayne Gallman, but its 2020 so expect the unexpected. When you score 5 touchdowns in the last 4 games you have to take notice. At a $5,000 price tag on DraftKings in a matchup against the ailing Bengals its going to be a tough fade. Not to mention the Giants are in the playoff hunt in the putrid NFC East.

This is a must-win spot for the Giants, they are facing a backup quarterback, and the game script should be in Gallman’s benefit. If ownership gets high on Gallman, look for pivots like Drake, Ballage, Bernard and Hunt for tournaments.

WIDE RECEIVERS

KEENAN ALLEN, LAC

$7,300 DRAFTKINGS, $7,400 FANDUEL

Keenan Allen has transitioned perfectly from Rivers to Herbert and hasn’t missed a beat. The rapport is there and it’s not shocking that Herbert is forcing the ball to Allen. Ever since the Chargers were forced to make the swap to Herbert, Allen’s numbers have gone up. Coming off a monster 16-catch, 145-yard performance in Week 11, he draws what could be a tougher matchup in Week 12.

Does good offense beat good defense? It did when Deandre Hopkins faced off against the Bills, Cooper Kupp also had a big game versus the Bills earlier in the season. So here is my take, have exposure to all 3 top Chargers receivers. In my Chargers stacks I will probably have 50% Allen, 25% Williams, and 25% Henry. I will also have some lineups with 2 receivers combined with Herbert and the same thing goes for my Allen stacks.

STEFON DIGGS, HOU

$7,600 DRAFTKINGS, $5,700 FANDUEL

Stefon Diggs has exceeded expectations in Buffalo alongside Josh Allen. There have been question marks about what to expect from Allen throwing the ball in general and specifically to Diggs due to accuracy problems. The haters have been hushed and from a numbers perspective one could argue that Diggs is inside the top 5 receiver category.

On paper this could look like another tough individual matchup, but when I saw the Jets just score 28, the Dolphins 29, the Raiders 31, and the Broncos 30 I’m not too worried. Again I love this game as a whole. Therefore I will also take shots on Cole Beasely at a discounted price in this game.

If you want some value Curtis Samuel and Damiere Byrd are also popping on our projection models.

TIGHT ENDS

DARREN WALLER, LV

$6,000 DRAFTKINGS, $7,100 FANDUEL

This Raider team is legit and could have easily been 2-0 against the Chiefs, if they had one more stop in them late in the game. The Raiders have exceeded my expectations and Gruden has done a great job with Carr and this entire team.

You get a solid floor and upside each week, and you can’t say that about too many tight ends on this slate. He is fairly priced on DraftKings and gets a matchup versus a Falcon team that struggles at defending the pass and the tight end specifically. If you can afford the safety, lock up Waller in Week 12.

HUNTER HENRY, LAC

$4,800 DRAFTKINGS, $5,900 FANDUEL

You can expect 4 receptions and 30+ yards from Henry as he has mirrored that stat line for the last 4 games. Catching touchdowns in the last two, you now have some upside you need in the mid tier. Again we love this matchup versus the Bills, and the cherry on top is the fact they are 30th worst at defending the tight end. In entries I fade Keenan, I will most likely turn to Henry as a strong pivot in a shootout game which could go slightly under owned.

DEFENSES

MIAMI DOLPHINS

$4,200 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

This Jets offense has woken up the past couple weeks but I’m not buying it at all. I will continue targeting them, the Jaguars, and now the Bengals since Burrow is out for the season. The Dolphins have been ball hawks, have forced 16 turnovers on the season, and have scored 3 defensive touchdowns. This is a must win for the Dolphins and I think they lay the hammer down on the Jets in Week 12.

NEW YORK GIANTS

$3,200 DRAFTKINGS, $4,300 FANDUEL

As I stated above Burrow is now done for the season so it’s time to load up against Brandon Allen, who is getting the start over Ryan Finley. This Giant defense is fighting for their playoff lives. They have greatly improved on the defensive side as the season has played out. They tend to keep the game lower scoring and have found ways to create turnovers and apply pressure to the quarterback. Give me the team versus a backup quarterback fighting for their playoff lives any day of the week.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 11

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 11 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 11 of the NFL season.

Even though we have had great results in picking top DFS plays in this article every week, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Our projection model at WinDailySports.com has been firing on all cylinders this season so what I will do in this article is list some of our highest projected players based off raw points and our highest point per dollar plays based on DraftKings.com pricing.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

CAM NEWTON, NE

$6,200 DRAFTKINGS, $7,600 FANDUEL

This is not a great slate for quarterbacks as most of the studs are playing on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night football and are not on the main slate. So it forces my hand to try to scoop up some value in order to spend elsewhere and lands us on Cam Newton. Newton is not an elite quarterback, he doesn’t have elite receivers, but he does have a floor due to his rushing upside. He is priced right and the matchup is excellent. The Texans rank 25th against opposing quarterbacks and this should be one of the higher paced games of the slate. For Cam to hit value he will have to rush for at least one touchdown without turning over the ball. On this type of slate I’m completely happy with a 20+ point performance out of Cam at his discounted price tag. Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert, Ben Roethlisberger, and Deshaun Watson will all be in my player pool as well at this price level.

JUSTIN HERBERT, LAC

$6,800 DRAFTKINGS, $8,500 FANDUEL

My original write up for tournaments only was Jameis Winston, but it doesn’t look like he will even be getting the start so lets play it safe and attack one of the worst defenses in the entire league. Herbert has been a fantasy stud in his rookie season and is averaging 26.2 DraftKings points per game. There was only one game this season that he didn’t eclipse the 20 point mark which was in Week 2 where he only got 19.7. He is having one of the best rookie seasons of all time at the QB position and that should continue in Week 11 versus the Jets. The Jets have given up the 29th most passing yards per game which should equate to another 300 yard performance out of Herbert. Stack up Herbert with Keenan Allen or Hunter Henry. For tournaments only feel free to take a shot at Taysom Hill and P.J. Walker who are both super cheap on FanDuel and DraftKings.

RUNNING BACKS

DALVIN COOK, MIN

$9,000 DRAFTKINGS, $10,500 FANDUEL

I don’t believe I can pay the price tag on FanDuel but for DraftKings he should be in your cash games and also sprinkled into your tournament lineups. The touches and workload Dalvin receives every week is unmatched in the league right now. His volume is massive and the matchup versus the Cowboys is exploitable. Dallas has been trailing in almost every game this year and is currently allowing 157 rushing yards per game. This sets up Dalvin for a 150 yard rushing, 2 touchdown performance. If you can afford Dalvin Cook get him into your lineups in Week 11.

MIKE DAVIS, CAR

$7,000 DRAFTKINGS, $7,400 FANDUEL

I wish I had the courage to fade Mike Davis in Week 10, in a bad matchup versus the Buccaneers and their stout rush defense. Davis was the highest owned player on the slate due to his low price tag and people won and lost money with him in their lineups. I’m hoping people have a bad taste in their mouth from last week’s performance of only 8 DraftKings points and are scared away by the price increase. This week he goes from one of the worst matchups to the best matchup on the board. Detroit ranks league worst at defending running backs and are allowing 141 yards rushing per game. Load up on Mike Davis in both cash games and tournaments as I think his ownership shrinks compared to last week.

WIDE RECEIVERS

MICHAEL THOMAS, N0

$7,300 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

It’s odd that it took all the way to Week 11 and a quarterback change from Drew Brees to Taysom Hill/Jameis Winston for me to write up Michael Thomas. Thomas is on a long list of season long top draft picks that have busted so far this season. Injuries and bad manners have affected his output, but he is set up for a potential breakout game this week versus the Falcons at home in the dome. This game has shootout written all over it and should be an up paced game where Thomas will need to be involved. With Alvin Kamara a little banged up with a foot injury I think the Saints rely heavily on feeding Thomas the ball and he finds a way to score his first touchdown of the season in Week 11.

Update: With Taysom Hill projected as the starting at QB, I will lower my ownership on Michael Thomas.

JAKOBI MEYERS, NE

$4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $6,000 FANDUEL

The price is right on Jakobi Meyers in a Week 11 matchup versus the Texans. Meyers has emerged as the Patriots #1 Receiver and possibly their best quarterback lol. He has scored double digit points the last 4 games and had a massive 12 reception 169 receiving yard game in Week 9. The matchup is good versus the Texans, the game is being played indoors, and Meyers is one of the few receivers at this price range that provides a safe floor and high upside in Week 11.

TIGHT ENDS

MARK ANDREWS, BAL

$4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $6,500 FANDUEL

Every week the price keeps dropping on Mark Andrews and for good reason. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense as a whole have really struggled to score points and finish drives. I’m going back to the well once again due to the matchup and the price tag. A lot of tight ends have no floor meaning they can easily get you 0-3 points and cripple your lineup. As bad as Andrews has been compared to last season he is still averaging 11 DraftKings points per game and has 20+ point upside. He is a safe cash game and tournament play on both sites and is the pairing I prefer with Lamar Jackson in Ravens stacks.

HAYDEN HURST, ATL

$4,400 DRAFTKINGS, $5,500 FANDUEL

Hayden Hurst is another safe play at the tight end position who has scored double digit DraftKings points in each of the last 4 games. No other tight end on this slate has come even close to that recent trend. I love consistency and raw points from my tight end position. If Calvin Ridley is out again for the Falcons I will increase my ownership in Hurst and he will become my favorite FanDuel tight end. Keep an eye on the injury reports but either way I like the matchup versus the 18th worst team against defending the tight end. The shootout potential of this game, plus the consistency has me loading up on Hurst shares in Week 11.

Sneaky Update! Taysom Hill is Tight End eligible on FanDuel so lock him up at $4,500. It’s not too often you can play a starting quarterback at the tight end position so lock him up!

DEFENSES

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

$4,600 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

People are starting to doubt the Steelers and it just shows you how human nature forces some people to discredit a 9-0 start. People rather talk about how bad this undefeated team is rather than speak about how good they are. They are coached well, the organization has a strong foundation, and this team is well balanced on offense and defense. Yes they played down to their competition when they played Dallas, but it happens. Lets not forget they have 36 sacks, 11 interceptions, 6 fumble recoveries, and scored 2 defensive touchdowns in 9 weeks. Couple that with the fact they get to face off with a rookie and I will be just fine securing another 10+ point performance from the Steelers in Week 11.

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS

$4,000 DRAFTKINGS, $4,500 FANDUEL

J-E-T-S jets, jets, jets! We will be targeting this offense every week and this will be the last time to get descent odds on the Jets finishing under 2 wins. I locked it in 4 weeks ago at +120 and now its down to -160. This Jets team is terrible even though they did look good last week against the Patriots. I think that game was a fluke and you will see a flustered Flacco when he travels across the country to Los Angeles. If you don’t have the money to pay up for the Steelers or Chargers feel free to take some shots on the Bengals and the Broncos at bargain bin prices in Week 11.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 10

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 10 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 10 of the NFL season.

I hope you read the article last week as almost all the plays smashed and we had a very profitable weekend. Our projection model at WinDailySports.com has been firing on all cylinders to start the season so what I will do in this article is list some of our highest projected players based off raw points and our highest point per dollar plays based on DraftKings.com pricing.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

KYLER MURRAY, ARI

$8,000 DRAFTKINGS, $8,800 FANDUEL

Kyler Murray is matchup proof. He is the 2020 version of 2019 Lamar Jackson. His rushing floor is elite for a quarterback and is coming off a 100 yard, 1 touchdown game versus Miami. Murray has 543 rushing yards and 8 rushing touchdowns on the season. He is the 8th leading rusher and tied for 3rd in the league in rushing touchdowns. Throw in the fact that Buffalo ranks 31st against opposing quarterbacks and you have found yourself the safest cash game quarterback on the slate. Lock Murray up in both cash games and tournaments.

JARED GOFF, LAR

$6,500 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

The trend continues and I hope you knew this before you read it. We need to attack the Seattle secondary every week moving forward. Week in and week out they are getting abused by every quarterback and receivers they face. They rank 32nd against opposing quarterbacks and are giving up a whopping 372 yards per game through the air. Is Jared Goff elite? no. Would I play Jared Goff against any other defense? Probably not. This is a pure matchup play. The price is right on DraftKings and I will have less Jared Goff ownership on FanDuel.

RUNNING BACKS

AARON JONES, GB

$7,100 DRAFTKINGS, $8,800 FANDUEL

Aaron Jones wasn’t needed much versus the 49ers in Week 9 but should be back to a full workload versus the Jaguars in Week 10. The matchup and game script will be in his favor. The Packers should be carrying a healthy lead late as Vegas has them winning by 2 touchdowns. Combine that with the fact that the Jaguars are allowing the 27th most rushing yards per game and we have a solid play for Week 10. This is a recipe for 20 plus touches, 100+ yards, and a 2 touchdown performance. I have him as the safe cash game play and the best value at the top tier of pricing.

ANTONIO GIBSON, WAS

$5,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,100 FANDUEL

In games in which Antonio Gibson receives a full workload you see his talent shine. The problem so far this season is the simple fact that the coaching staff has yet to remove the training wheels off this talented rookie. The Washington Football Team hasn’t been in too many games where they possessed a lead late but the Week 10 matchup versus the Lions could bare fruit for Gibson. This game should be tight and if Washington is carrying a lead the load will be on Gibson to carry them to victory. He is a strong value play against the 32nd ranked rushing defense in the league. Honorable mention goes to Mike Davis if Christian McCaffrey is out, Kareem Hunt if Nick Chubb is out, and Duke Johnson if David Johnson is out.

WIDE RECEIVERS

COOPER KUPP, LAR

$6,900 DRAFTKINGS, $7,700 FANDUEL

Keep an eye out for injury reports on this one because while writing this Kupp was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. He is having an issue with his wrist after a Week 8 matchup where he was targeted 20 times in the loss to Miami. I think he suits up in this one and he wont pass up a chance to tear apart the Seattle secondary who ranks league worst at defending wide receivers. If for any reason Kupp is out, lock in Robert Woods in 100% of your lineups and look to other pass catchers in this offense like Josh Reynolds, Vance Jefferson, and Tyler Higbee.

JERRY JEUDY, HOU

$5,600 DRAFTKINGS, $5,800 FANDUEL

Jerry Jeudy helped a ton of our users at WinDailySports.com in Week 9 and we are going back to the well this week. Coming off his best game as a pro, Jeudy gets another good matchup to attack in Las Vegas. This should be another high scoring affair with Vegas predicting this one to end with over 50 points scored. Jeudy secured 7 receptions for 125 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 and if we can get close to the same performance this week he can easily pay off his price on both DraftKings and FanDuel. He is a safe mid-range value play on both sites for both cash games and tournaments.

TIGHT ENDS

EVAN ENGRAM, NYG

$4,500 DRAFTKINGS, $5,600 FANDUEL

Evan Engram has been surprisingly consistent over the past 3 weeks for the Giants. This Giants receiving core has been banged up as of late and it looks like Golden Tate and Sterling Sheppard will be carrying a questionable tag going into this in division matchup versus Philadelphia. Regardless if they play, I like Engram in a matchup versus the 32nd ranked defense at defending the tight end. Their secondary is strong but they have trouble against tight ends. In a Week 7 matchup Engram hauled in 6 catches for 46 yards on 9 targets and he could have had a bigger game if it wasn’t for some dropped passes. I like the upside and safety he provides in a position where uncertainty runs rampant.

ERIC EBRON, PITT

$4,400 DRAFTKINGS, $5,400 FANDUEL

Eric Ebron is a tournament play only for me as I think Engram is the safer cash game play. Ebron has been a bright spot for Pittsburgh and is averaging 9.3 DraftKings points which puts him in the upper tier of tight end fantasy point production. When drafting tight ends I want consistency and a safe floor because this is a position where a big fat zero could occur. The matchup versus Cincinnati is ideal and if the Bengals can hang up some points and force the Steelers to stay scoring I like the upside here for Ebron in Week 10.

DEFENSES

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

$3,000 DRAFTKINGS, $4,500 FANDUEL

I will be honest when I say ” I didn’t see that one coming ” in the Saints thrashing of Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. 3 sacks, 3 interceptions, and only 3 points allowed to what on paper looks like one of the most explosive offenses in the league. The Saints defense has been slightly inconsistent on the year but I like the upside in a matchup versus San Francisco without their starting Quarterback and playmaking tight end in Week 10. Give me the Saints at home at a slight discount off of the top price defenses ahead of them.

GREEN BAY PACKERS

$3,700 DRAFTKINGS, $4,800 FANDUEL

Give me another inconsistent defense going against a weak offense. The Packers have been winning a lot of games, scoring a ton of points, and haven’t really needed their defense to shine so far this season. This is purely a matchup play here where I will take a shot on the home team facing off against a rookie. Vegas has the Jaguars only scoring 18 points in this one so I will take the solid floor with upside in the Packers defense.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 9

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 9 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 9 of the NFL season.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

PATRICK MAHOMES, KC

$8,100 DRAFTKINGS, $9,300 FANDUEL

Patrick Mahomes is doing Patrick Mahomes things. Averaging 27.5 DraftKings points a game and coming off a 39.6 point performance in Week 8 has him on the top of the projection models at WinDailySports.com. Vegas has the Chiefs scoring 31 points versus the Panthers, which should lead to another massive performance by Mahomes. What I like about this matchup is the simple fact that I think Carolina can keep pace. The Panthers offense has been scoring points and with McCaffrey expected back this week, this game should stay competitive for 4 quarters, which should provide Mahomes all the time needed to put up 30+ points in Week 9.

JOSH ALLEN, BUF

$7,000 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

I think the saying goes ““Nothing is certain except for death, taxes, and targeting Quarterbacks against the Seattle defense.”

It didn’t work out so well last week because Jimmy G started bad and then got hurt, but I’m ready to go back to the well this week. The rushing floor combined with the massive upside that this matchup brings makes me want to own shares of Allen in tournaments. The Seahawks rank 32nd against opposing quarterbacks and allow a league-worst 366 passing yards per game. Vegas has set a over/under of 55 and has this as one of highest paced scoring games of the entire slate. I will be stacking this game with both Allen and Russell Wilson and their respective pass catchers in what I believe to be one of the best game environments of the entire slate.

RUNNING BACKS

DALVIN COOK, MIN

$8,200 DRAFTKINGS, $9,300 FANDUEL

Dalvin Cook came back with a vengeance and scored 51 DraftKings points in Week 8, which could cause his ownership to rise. Regardless, he still is the top running back on the slate. He is so heavily involved in the Viking offense, it will be a very tough fade for cash games. The matchup versus the Lions is better than last week and he now faces off against the worst run defense in the league. Ownership would be the only reason to fade him in tournaments and if you plan on doing so, James Conner presents a nice value matching up against the Dallas Cowboys.

JOSH JACOBS, LV

$6,300 DRAFTKINGS, $7,700 FANDUEL

Josh Jacobs presents a nice value due to his depressed price and huge workload. Coming off two bad games and a bye week, the pricing algorithm sent Josh Jacobs to the mid-tier, which lands him in a great rebound spot against the Chargers in Week 9. This is another game where Vegas is predicting a high pace, back-and-forth shootout. The total currently sits at 53 with the Chargers favored by 1 point. With Jacobs being the safest Raider to roster I love the floor he provides for both cash games and tournaments. Don’t be surprised to see a 100+ yard, two-touchdown game out of Jacobs in Week 9.

WIDE RECEIVERS

KEENAN ALLEN, LAC

$7,000 DRAFTKINGS, $7,500 FANDUEL

Keenan Allen has been one of the most consistent receivers this year, averaging 18.7 fantasy points per game and has scored 20+ in the past 2 games. Like I stated above, this should be a fast-paced matchup versus the Raiders and the safest way to get exposure to the Chargers passing attack is through Allen. The Raiders rank 18th against opposing wide receivers and this should be a spot that Keenan can exploit and hit his ceiling game.

STEFON DIGGS, BUF

$7,400 DRAFTKINGS, $7,600 FANDUEL

Stefon Diggs will have to have a massive game to keep pace with Russell Wilson and the aerial attack of the Seahawks. Diggs will be in almost all of my builds this week and I’m fully confident that he will get 20+ points in this matchup versus the worst defense in defending the pass in the entire league. Every team has torched the Seahawks and I believe Josh Allen and Diggs can do the same in Week 9. Diggs is a target monster, who has three 100+ receiving yard games on the season, and the 4th will come in Week 9.

TIGHT ENDS

TRAVIS KELCE, KC

$7,200 DRAFTKINGS, $8,000 FANDUEL

Coming off a big Week 8, I will be going back to Travis Kelce in Week 9. It’s not often that you can get wide receiver production from your tight end slot, but Kelce provides that upside every week. He is averaging 18.8 DraftKings points per game and due to his price tag, I believe the field will flock to cheaper tight ends which will provide leverage for Kelce owners in tournaments. Waller and Andrews are fine plays, and I will have shares of them both, but I’m currently trying to find a way to lock Kelce in my main lineup for Week 9.

NOAH FANT, DEN

$4,600 DRAFTKINGS, $5,800 FANDUEL

Noah Fant is receiving more and more targets each week but hasn’t found the end zone since Week 2. This should all change in Week 9, when he visits Atlanta and the defense that allows the 2nd most passing yards per game. The Falcons struggle against defending the pass at the tight end specifically so this should bode well for Fant in Week 9. If Fant finds pay dirt in Week 9 he has the ability to get 20+ point production at a value price.

Mark Andrews is also priced down in this range on DraftKings due to his recent production and the tougher matchup. I’m fine with splitting your ownership between the two tight ends on DraftKings.

DEFENSES

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

$4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

If you can afford the Steelers you play them in Week 9. The Cowboys have mailed it in for the season and this offense has grinded to a halt. The Steelers defense has forced 13 turnovers and have sacked their opponents 30 times in 7 games to start this season. The numbers don’t lie and this defense should wreak havoc in Week 9 against their easiest opponent to date. The price is high but, if you can get there, lock them in.

HOUSTON TEXANS

$3,100 DRAFTKINGS, $3,700 FANDUEL

This Texan defense hasn’t been anything special to start the season and this is more about the matchup than anything else. They get to face off against Jace Luton and a banged up Jaguar offense, at a value price tag. Vegas agrees and has the Jaguars projected to only score 21 points, which is one of the lowest totals on the slate. The Texans provide the safest landing spot if you cant afford to pay up for the Steelers.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 8

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 8 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 8 of the NFL season.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

AARON RODGERS, GB

$7,600 DRAFTKINGS, $8,400 FANDUEL

I’m coming off my second biggest week of the year so far, and it all started with my Quarterback write up last week which secured me a $15,000 victory on DraftKings. The stack that got me there was Kyler Murray with DeAndre Hopkins and running it back with Tyler Lockett. The stack was under owned and simply smashed.

The stack that can help get us there this week is a Aaron Rodgers to Davante Adams stack either paired with a Viking receiver or running back if Dalvin Cook plays. The matchup versus the Vikings is great. They rank 25th against opposing quarterbacks and allow the 29th most passing yards per game. Rodgers will light up this Viking defense and the easy pairing with Adams makes him a great play for cash and tournaments.

JOE BURROW, CIN

$6,200 DRAFTKINGS, $7,600 FANDUEL

Joe Burrow is putting up ridiculous stats as a rookie. He has thrown for over 300+ yards in 5 out of the 7 games so far this season with his last one breaking the 400 yard mark. He has 9 passing touchdowns and also is involved in the running game with 3 rushing touchdowns on the season. The ceiling is high and the price is right on both sites. The discount combined with the upside is too much to pass up on. Tennessee has allowed the 26th most passing yards per game and has been involved in high scoring affairs almost every week which sets Burrow up nicely in your lineups in week 8.

RUNNING BACKS

DERRICK HENRY, TEN

$8,000 DRAFTKINGS, $9,500 FANDUEL

We faded Henry last week and its time to hop back on the Henry train if we can afford it in Week 8. Vegas has the Titans by 5.5 points which should lead into a positive game script for Henry and the run game. This will be a high scoring affair, with Vegas having the total at 53.5 points and I’m expecting another 2 touchdown game out of Henry in this one. The Bengals are allowing the 28th most rushing yards per game and now get to face the best running back in the game. There will be no stopping Henry in week 8 and the upside and safety is just too much to pass up on.

KAREEM HUNT, CLE

$6,900 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

Most of the Cleveland offense should now be running through Kareem Hunt with Nick Chubb and Odell Beckham Jr. injured. Hunt had 18 touches and 3 receptions and was very active in the game versus the Bengals but didn’t break out for that massive game. I truly hope some people hop off the wagon this week driving his ownership down. The Raiders rank 31st against opposing running backs and provide an exploitable matchup for Hunt. The price on DraftKings is great and he will be a lock in most of my lineups on their platform.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DAVANTE ADAMS, GB

$8,800 DRAFTKINGS, $9,100 FANDUEL

There is not much of a write up needed here other than this guy is great at football and that he is really good friends with Aaron Rodgers. He has two 44+ point DraftKings performances on the season and if I played him over DeAndre Hopkins in my main lineup last week I would have won $50,000 instead of $15,000. I am not making that same mistake this week and I will do whatever I can to squeeze him into my lineups. The Vikings rank 29th against opposing wide receivers and also allow the 29th most passing yards per game. Get him into your cash and tournament lineups where you can afford the salary.

TYLER BOYD, CIN

$6,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,400 FANDUEL

Both Tyler Boyd and AJ Green are in a great spot in Week 8. Whichever one finds the end zone more often will end up with the better performance, but they both are receiving a ton of targets week in and week out. Boyd is coming off a 11 reception 101 yard receiving game where he dropped 30 DraftKings points. I told you I like this game as a game stack and will be attacking it from every angle. The Titans rank 28th against opposing receivers so both of these guys should be in your player pool in Week 8.

TIGHT ENDS

DARREN WALLER, LV

$5,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,800 FANDUEL

Waller has been super consistent all year and is averaging 15 DraftKings points per game. He is the primary target for Carr and provides a safe floor at a somewhat volatile tight end position. What makes this one of the better plays on the board is the matchup itself. The Browns have struggled to cover tight ends all season and rank 28th against opposing tight ends. Vegas has this as an up pace game with the Raiders trailing which should provide late looks to Waller in the fourth quarter which is what you want in your lineups.

HARRISON BRYANT, CLE

$3,200 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

Within the same game Harrison Bryant is a great value play in a high paced matchup versus the Raiders. With the Browns banged up, more targets should be heading Bryant’s way. He is involved in the red zone and is coming off a 2 touchdown game. At near minimum salary on both sites you don’t need much from Bryant. If we can get 4 catches for 40+ yards and a touchdown I will be more than fine with that output in Week 8.

DEFENSES

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

$4,500 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

Like I told you last week, I will be targeting the Jets with my opposing defenses. It’s the safest way to play it and I will continue attacking it week in week out. The Jets scored more than 0 in Week 7, but I still have them under 10 points in this matchup versus the Chiefs. On a side note one of my favorite futures bets is taking the Jets under 1.5 wins on the season.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

$3,400 DRAFTKINGS, $3,600 FANDUEL

The Saints have the pleasure of visiting the Bears after their ugly performance against the Rams on Monday night. The Bears put up 10 points to a Rams defense and throughout most of the game Nick Foles and the Bears offense truly struggled putting drives together. The Saints defense hasn’tbeen great on the season but they have forced 5 turnovers through 6 games and recorded 14 sacks so they provide a nice value in Week 8.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 7

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 7 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 7 of the NFL season.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

RUSSELL WILSON, SEA

$8,000 DRAFTKINGS, $8,700 FANDUEL

This will be a pretty easy write up. Russell Wilson is very good at football and that in turn reflects a very good daily fantasy football play. The man is on his way to being crowned the MVP and is averaging a whopping 31.9 DraftKings points per game. Pair that with a high paced matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals with Vegas setting the total at 56 and we should be in a great spot for another 30+ point performance for Russell Wilson. If you would like to pivot off this game get some shares of Aaron Rodgers in a bounce back spot versus the Houston Texans. I love the thought of rostering Rodgers after he was embarrassed by the Buccaneer defense.

KYLER MURRAY, ARI

$7,100 DRAFTKINGS, $8,400 FANDUEL

With this being the second highest scoring game of the slate, give me the arm and legs of Kyler Murray. The man has 10 passing touchdowns and 6 rushing touchdowns, which is more than most running backs in the league right now. The rushing upside and floor Murray provides is second only to Lamar Jackson. This matchup is the best on the board and Seattle is ranked 32nd against opposing quarterbacks, allowing 371 passing yards per game. This game has game stack written all over it.

RUNNING BACKS

AARON JONES, GB

$7,200 DRAFTKINGS, $8,500 FANDUEL

This matchup is a juicy one and I love this game as another game stack right up there with the Arizona vs. Seattle game. The Texans have one of the worst overall defenses in the league and are terrible at defending the run. They rank 27th against opposing running backs and are allowing a league worst 177 rushing yards per game on the season. Aaron Jones doesn’t have a ceiling as we have seen games where he has 3 touchdowns this season and dropped 48.6 DraftKings points. I’m not saying he will do that again but he certainly does have the proper matchup to do so. He is getting the touches every week and is always involved in the passing game as well. Lock Aaron Jones up in cash games and your tournament lineups.

KAREEM HUNT, CLE

$6,800 DRAFTKINGS, $7,100 FANDUEL

Kareem Hunt is currently carrying the questionable tag while I’m writing this on Thursday morning, but this was a similar situation last week as well. As long as he logs a practice some time to finish off this week he should smash in week 7. The Bengals allow 142 rushing yards per game and rank 27th in the league at defending running backs through 6 weeks. Since Chubb has been injured we haven’t seen that monster game out of Hunt yet, which should keep his ownership down and I think this is the week to pounce on him. The play is strong on both sites but given the PPR upside on DraftKings I like him better there. Alvin Kamara is another great play if you can afford him and feel free to take some shots on Chris Carson, Antonio Gibson, and Justin Jackson in tournaments.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DEANDRE HOPKINS, ARI

$8,200 DRAFTKINGS, $9,000 FANDUEL

Week 6 got away from the Cardinals passing game real quick as they took a huge lead early and really had no need to pass the ball in the second half because they had a very comfortable lead against Andy Dalton and the Cowboys. It was his Hopkins’ first mediocre performance of the season and I think he gets right back to his elite level this week in a dream matchup versus the Seahawks.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks will put up points and if all goes as planned the Cardinals should be trailing in this game giving a bump to the passing game. The Seahawks are league worst at giving up points to the wide receiver position and are allowing 371 passing yards per game. A elite wide receiver going into an elite matchup should make Hopkins a lock in your cash games and single entry tournaments.

DK METCALF, SEA

$7,200 DRAFTKINGS, $7,300 FANDUEL

As I stated above, I love this Arizona vs Seattle game and I will be stacking it several different ways. Metcalf has emerged as the #1 receiver in this offense and the numbers can back it up. He is averaging 21.3 DraftKings points per game and his lowest output game of the season was a 92 yard receiving game, which is pretty darn impressive if you ask me. This Arizona pass defense is good, but I think Russell Wilson is better and he will find ways to get Metcalf the ball in Week 7. In lineups that you are not running it back with the Seattle passing game load up on Chris Carson as a strong pivot.

TIGHT ENDS

TJ HOCKENSON, DET

$5,000 DRAFTKINGS, $5,900 FANDUEL

The Atlanta defense is still one of the worst in the league and my write up will never be complete without targeting their defense. Hockenson has been consistently good but not great. I like consistency when drafting tight ends because the last thing you want is to finish your day with 0-2 points from the position. In Hockenson’s worst game this season he finished with 9.3 DraftKings points which is a nice floor for a tight end, and he has the upside to breakout for 20 in this matchup. The Falcons rank 28th against opposing tight ends and are allowing 337 passing yards through the first 6 weeks. I like the pairing of Stafford to Hockenson in a game stack running it back with some Falcon receivers or playing Hockenson by himself as a one off.

ROBERT TONYAN, GB

$4,600 DRAFTKINGS, $6,000 FANDUEL

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers got embarrassed in Week 6 by the Buccaneers and I love this spot for the entire Packers offense. The Texans are bad at defending the tight end and are ranked 27th through 6 weeks. Tonyan had an ankle injury that briefly forced him out of the game versus the Bucs so keep an eye out for practice reports but he came back in and finished the game so I’m assuming he will be fine. We want exposure to this game and this offense. If you can’t find a way to get Rodgers, Jones, or Adams then Tonyan is your guy at a fair price on both sites.

DEFENSES

BUFFALO BILLS

$4,700 DRAFTKINGS, $5,000 FANDUEL

There will be a simple rule moving forward for the rest of the year. Whenever you can afford to play the Defense versus the New York Jets you do so. This is one of the worst offenses ever assembled and when you pair that with the leadership from Adam Gase you truly can’t go wrong in targeting them. The Jets are almost league worst in every offensive category and just got shut out by the Dolphins. If you got the salary leftover please play the Bills coming off a tough game versus the Chiefs.

CLEVELAND BROWNS

$2,800 DRAFTKINGS, $4,700 FANDUEL

We will need to get some salary relief in order to pay up for some key offensive players and I think the Browns provide the best option versus the Bengals. They haven’t been great by any means but at $2,800 on DraftKings I will take a couple shots. On FanDuel just pay the extra $300 and play it safe with the Bills. We are hoping for a couple of sacks and if we get lucky maybe a pick 6 thrown by Joe Burrow who has thrown an interception in each of his last 3 games.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 6

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 6 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 6 of the NFL season.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

DESHAUN WATSON, HOU

$7,000 DRAFTKINGS, $8,200 FANDUEL

Coming off back-to-back 300-yard passing games and softer matchups than in previous weeks, it looks like Watson has found his way in 2020. The five interceptions through as many weeks keeps him slightly out of the elite category but still on my radar for DFS.

The matchup versus the Titans is good and the Texans run game hasn’t proven to be a focal point of this offense. The Titans are coming in hot offensively and will put up points versus the mediocre at best Texans defense. Vegas has the Titans at -3 scoring 28 points with the Texans trailing and scoring 25. If the game script holds true we can see another late surge by Watson in the second half playing catch up and racking up fantasy points for you in Week 6.

BEN ROETHLISBERGER, PIT

$6,700 DRAFTKINGS, $7,600 FANDUEL

Big Ben could be in the early lead for comeback player of the year in the NFL. Both him and Cam Newton are competing for that spot and I was contemplating both of them for this write up. I like Cam as well, but I think the pace of that game will be slowed by the lack of fire power from the Denver side, so I chose to lock in Big Ben.

Through four games this season, he has thrown for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns, while only throwing one interception. He has the weapons around him to put up big games each week and it has led to a average of 21.2 DraftKings points per game. A home matchup versus Cleveland, who ranks 24th against opposing quarterbacks and allowing 297 yards passing per game, sets Ben up for his biggest game of the season. Cleveland has been involved in several shootout games to start the season and Vegas believes another one is coming by unveiling a 51 Over/Under for this game. If all holds true we can expect a 300-yard and 3-touchdown game coming in Week 6 for Big Ben.

RUNNING BACKS

DERRICK HENRY, TEN

$7,300 DRAFTKINGS, $9,000 FANDUEL

All aboard the Derrick Henry train in Week 6. If we can find a way to lock in Deshaun Watson and Derrick Henry in our lineups we should have a solid base of 50-60 points to work from. This game is going to be a shootout and Henry will be getting all the workload he can handle inside the red zone.

With four touchdowns in the past two games, Henry is starting to carry some momentum while adding to the highlight reel each week. With the Titans projected to score 28 points we could easily have Henry at a two-touchdown floor with a slate breaking performance ahead of us. He will be a cash game lock for most and I will have heavy ownership of him in tournaments as well.

ALEXANDER MATTISON, MIN

$7,000 DRAFTKINGS, $7,200 FANDUEL

The seas have parted for Alexander Mattison in Week 6. Not only is Dalvin Cook out but he gets one of the best running back matchups on the board in the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons ranks 28th against opposing running backs and are allowing 110 yards per game on the ground and a bunch through the air.

Vegas agrees with the pick, predicting the Vikings to be in the lead in this game and tallying up over 29 points in this contest. Mike Davis and the Carolina Panthers took advantage of the Falcons last week and Mattison should garner similar results in Week 6. I try to keep it as simple as possible and target bad defenses as much as possible and continue to pick on them week after week. You can almost guarantee a write up every week from me displaying at least one player who will have a juicy matchup against a Falcons team that has already given up on the season.

WIDE RECEIVERS

ADAM THIELEN, MIN

$7,300 DRAFTKINGS, $7,400 FANDUEL

The trend continues and don’t feel bad about attacking the Falcons.

Last week my core included three players from the Panthers and they were locked into my main lineups on DraftKings. All three paid off and it lead to another profitable week in DFS. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! These Falcons will get gashed all day Sunday and if Teddy Bridgewater can throw for 300+ yards, I have no fear that Kirk Cousins can connect to Adam Thielen for big plays up and down the field. Coming off monster back-to-back games where he scored 29 DraftKings points Adam now heads home to hopefully lock in another massive stat line. Numbers don’t lie and the Falcons rank 28th against opposing wide receivers and are allowing a whopping 335 passing yards per game. Thielen is your safe wide receiver play for Week 6 and feel free to start the rookie Justin Jefferson as well if you want to pivot in your tournament lineups.

BRANDIN COOKS, HOU

$5,000 DRAFTKINGS, $5,700 FANDUEL

Brandin Cooks has been the Jekyll & Hyde receiver to start the 2020 season. When everyone wanted to take advantage of his extremely low price tag in Week 4, he put up a goose egg versus the Vikings. Then he bounced back when nobody played him in Week 5 and caught 8 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown.

I wrote about this game being a shootout several times earlier and if that script holds we need a receiver to pair with Watson. I would like to stack this game and the choices are Deshaun Watson with Brandin Cooks or Will Fuller (maybe even both) and then running it back with Derrick Henry and/or AJ Brown.

My suggestion is stacking a couple different version of this game and don’t be afraid to throw some Ryan Tannehill and Jonnu Smith into the mix as well.

TIGHT ENDS

MARK ANDREWS, BAL

$6,500 DRAFTKINGS, $7,600 FANDUEL

Mark Andrews is the number one receiver in the Ravens offense. He is a red zone threat and Lamar Jackson’s favorite target in this offense. The Eagles are the 30th worst team at defending the tight end and have consistently allowed tight ends to score points at will. George Kittle caught 15 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown versus Philadelphia in Week 4 and Tyler Higbee had a three-touchdown game versus the Eagles in Week 2. Can the pattern hold true in Week 6?

Either way, Andrews provides a safe floor, and if we can see half the game Kittle had I would be happy locking him in during Week 6.

EVAN ENGRAM, NYG

$4,900 DRAFTKINGS, $5,600 FANDUEL

I don’t like suggesting New York Giants players, but Engram has the talent and a somewhat secure floor. He provides some value if you need to pay down at the position. The Washington Football Team is league’s worst at defending the tight end while having one of the best front four in the league.

I’m expecting QB Daniel Jones to be under a lot of pressure to get rid of the ball quickly, which should mean more looks for Engram over the middle and less plays down field for the receiving core. If you don’t feel confident in Engram, feel free to pivot to touchdown machine Robert Tonyan, who is only $200 more expensive on DraftKings.

DEFENSES

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

$4,100 DRAFTKINGS, $4,800 FANDUEL

How good is Bill Belichick? He is the best in the business and almost beat Patrick Mahomes with a combination of Brian Hoyer and some leftover scraps on offense. There hasn’t been a better coach in my lifetime and he is a defensive wizard who finds ways to disrupt the entire game plan of the opposing offense.

Give Belichick a young quarterback on the opposite side of the field and watch him dismantle their scheme and cause turnovers galore. If you have the cash to spend up at defense, roster Belichick and the Patriots.

HOUSTON TEXANS

$4,500 DRAFTKINGS, $4,900 FANDUEL

The Ravens defense might provide the safest floor of any team defense on the slate. If you rostered them in Week 5, you had a massive edge over the field who went cheap. They held the Bengals to only 3 points, caused 3 turnovers, had 7 sacks and scored a touchdown. This Defense is legit and if you take out the game against the Chiefs they held every other team under 17 points to start this season. The Eagles have a bad offensive line and very little explosiveness on offense besides Miles Sanders, which they should be able to bottle up with their front four. If you have the cash, spend up for safety in Week 6.

DFS Fantasy Football: Favorite Pro Plays – Week 5

WinDailySports’ CEO Jason Mezrahi checks in with his top Week 5 DFS fantasy football for FanDuel and DraftKings

Top-ranked daily fantasy sports pro Jason Mezrahi, founder and CEO of WinDailySports.com, breaks down his favorite DFS plays at various salary ranges for Week 5 of the NFL season.

Even though we have had great results in picking top DFS plays in this article every week, I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Our projection model at WinDailySports.com has been firing on all cylinders for the first three weeks so what I will do in this article is list some of our highest projected players based off raw points and our highest point per dollar plays based on DraftKings.com pricing.

These are some of the players Jason will be locking in his lineups on DraftKings and FanDuel for this weekend’s slate.

QUARTERBACKS

DESHAUN WATSON, HOU

$6,900 DRAFTKINGS, $7,900 FANDUEL

We can no longer use the Bill O’Brien excuse in Houston. The man is finally gone and I personally can’t wait for Adam Gase to be dealt the same fate. We can only hope Watson can get back on track this week and come out of the gate with something to prove. Watson has been good but not great to start this year. His schedule had a very tough start with matchups against the Chiefs, Ravens and Steelers. The good news is Will Fuller is still healthy and the Jaguars rank 20th against opposing quarterbacks and allow 261 yards passing per game. Coming off a 300-yard, 2-touchdown game should provide some confidence in rostering Watson in Week 5.

Watson provides a safe floor at his price tag and is one of the best values on the entire slate. Vegas has the Texans putting up 30 points and without a elite running game most of those points should be rolling through Watson. We have him only a couple points behind Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen on our projection models currently but, given the discount, we love the value he provides.

MATT RYAN, ATL

$6,100 DRAFTKINGS, $7,700 FANDUEL

The Falcons are struggling mightily and confidence is at a all time low in Atlanta. Ryan is more of a DraftKings only play for me, where I want to price enforce the $6,100 cost for a quarterback with one of the best matchups on the board. If Vegas is right and the Falcons put up 28 points, we can hope that Matt Ryan puts up 3-4 touchdowns in this matchup.

We have to look out for the status of Julio Jones, if he is out I may lower my exposure to Ryan and bump up my exposure to Calvin Ridley and the rest of the receiving core. If Jones is out feel free to pivot down to Daniel Jones or up to Mahomes, Prescott or Jackson in Week 5.

RUNNING BACKS

MIKE DAVIS, CAR

$6,400 DRAFTKINGS, $6,800 FANDUEL

I never would have thought I would be highlighting the two running backs I am about to dive into but here we are in Week 5 of 2020.

I saw a great tweet this past week that read “We are heading into the 4th quarter of 2020, lets hope we are playing the Atlanta Falcons”

Davis and the Panthers are playing the Falcons and you best believe he is salivating due to the opportunity they present. With two touchdowns in his past two games since he took over for Christian McCaffrey, Mike Davis is now a stable force in the Carolina backfield. He has produced over 22 DraftKings points in his past 2 games and now gets the dream matchup versus the Falcons, who cant stop a nose bleed. He might be highly owned but take the 20+ points and lock in Davis in Week 5.

JERICK MCKINNON, SF

$5,800 DRAFTKINGS, $6,400 FANDUEL

McKinnon dominated the backfield touches in Week 4 and has produced in each and every week of this season. This trend should continue in Week 5 with a matchup versus Miami, who rank 19th against opposing running backs.

McKinnon scored a touchdown in each of the four games this season and has averaged 16.6 DraftKings points. It looks like its McKinnon’s backfield after he received 14 of the 17 rushing attempts and also had 9 targets in the passing game. If Mostert is still out in Week 5, look McKinnon’s way and lock in the value in order to pay up at other spots.

WIDE RECEIVERS

DARIUS SLAYTON, NYG

$4,800 DRAFTKINGS, $5,800 FANDUEL

I told myself that I am done rostering any players from the Jets or the Giants for the rest of the season and then I witnessed again how bad the Cowboys defense truly is.

If the Browns can score 49, the Giants should score at least 24 right?

This is truly a play on the Cowboys defense and not the Giants offense. Lets look at what the Cowboys have allowed as far as scoring this year. Here are the game totals: 20, 39, 38 and 49. The targets for Slayton have been there each and every week, but the production has yet to follow. At $4,900 versus this Cowboy defense I am willing to take the calculated risk on Slayton or Evan Engram, who I will mention later in this article.

ROBBIE ANDERSON, CAR

$5,900 DRAFTKINGS, $6,200 FANDUEL

Leading into this season and every week so far to start the season all the hype has been on DJ Moore. The outcome has not lived up to the hype and each and every week the production has been gobbled up by Robbie Anderson.

Averaging 19.7 points on the season, its been obvious to me that Robbie is the No. 1 receiver in this offense and has out-targeted Moore 34-32 with a way higher catch rate. With two 100 yard games (and a 99 yarder), there is a clear rapport with Teddy Bridgewater. He has been a fantasy darling all year and I expect that trend to continue with his plus-matchup against the Falcons in Week 5.

TIGHT ENDS

GEORGE KITTLE, SF

$6,600 DRAFTKINGS, $7,100 FANDUEL

The George Kittle breakout game finally came in Week 4. Kittle is absolute beast and I wouldn’t want to step in his path once he got the ball in his hands, because his goal is to hurt someone.

Coming off a 15-reception, 183-yard game, ownership maybe high, but with all the value on the slate I think this is the week to pay up at tight end and lock in some points. I am fine with either paying up for Kittle or Mark Andrews and avoiding any potential land mines at the value tight end spots.

EVAN ENGRAM, NYG

$4,400 DRAFTKINGS, $5,500 FANDUEL

I don’t like suggesting New York Giants players, but when I do they will be playing against the Dallas Cowboys. Do I have to remind you how bad this defense is? Baker Mayfield and Jarvis Landry were dropping dimes all over this defense last week as crazy as that sounds.

The Cowboys defense is terrible and their offense is good/potentially great. Which means the Cowboys should open the game up with the lead, allowing the Giants to play catch up the entire game. Engram’s production has seen an uptick lately and he is the best value at the position so lock him in and lets be present for his breakout performance.

DEFENSES

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

$4,200 DRAFTKINGS, $4,800 FANDUEL

HOUSTON TEXANS

$2,600 DRAFTKINGS, $3,700 FANDUEL

We can only hope that the Texans come together and play some inspired ball and cause some havoc for Gardner Minshew and the Jaguars. They are the cheapest defense I am willing to roster. Minshew will make mistakes and cough up the ball Sunday. With 10 sacks on the season, we can hope for 2-4 sacks, 1-2 turnovers and for the Texans to finally win a game and control some clock late. Their defense has been bad to start the year, but their schedule hasn’t been easy. Look for a bounce back performance out of the Texans at home in Week 5.
