Each week, we compile a list of FanDuel and DraftKings sleepers and/or dark horse picks to help you win some cold, hard cash. The more value players you add, the more money youll have left for proven weekly studs at other roster spots.MORE WEEK 7 DFS: | If you read this column ahead of Week 6, you would have benefited from our advice to plug a plethora of low-cost, high-value players into your DFS lineups. Heres a short list of some of our hits from last week, including each players DraftKings cost and final PPR output:Kirk Cousins, Vikings at Panthers (DK: $6,200 | FD: $7,100): 34.52Carson Wentz, Colts vs. Texans (DK price: $5,400 | FD: $6,700): 21.02Mac Jones, Patriots vs. Cowboys (DK: $5,200 | FD: $6,500): 18.76Latavius Murray, Ravens vs. Chargers (DK: $5,700 | FD: $5,800): 13.6Devontae Booker, Giants vs. Rams (DK: $5,400 | FD: $5,900):
Deshazor Everett Jersey 10.9Robert Woods, Rams at Giants (DK: $6,100 | FD: $6,900): 11.1Jakobi Meyers, Patriots vs. Cowboys (DK: $5,500 | FD: $5,800): 11.4Mark Andrews, Ravens vs. Chargers (DK: $5,200 | FD: $6,300): 17.8Hunter Henry, Patriots vs. Cowboys (DK: $3,900 | FD: $5,600): 10.5Indianapolis Colts D/ST vs. Houston Texans (DK: $3,500): 14.0Thats a jolly good week for us and a ton of points at very affordable prices. By mixing in some of these low-cost, high-production plays, you likely afforded yourself two or three more studs at other roster spots. Getting the most bang for your buck has always been the name of the game in DFS, so its important to do your due diligence before constructing lineups.Without further ado, lets jump right into Week 7!WEEK 7 DFS LINEUPS: | | Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins vs. Falcons (DK: $5,500 | FD: $7,100)It was back to Tua time last week for Miami, but the Dolphins had some jetlag in London and lost to an 0-5 Jacksonville team. Tagovailoa had a great game, though, completing 33 pa ses for 329 yards and two touchdowns for over 25 fantasy points. The 'Phins will be back in South Beach this weekend, welcoming in the leagues second-worst scoring defense. The Falcons give up 29.6 points per game and rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to QBs, so you should feel pretty confident in the No. 5 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Chase Young Hoodies Sweatshirts Atlanta was lucky to face Zach Wilson and the Jets in its last game, but it wont be so lucky this time around.Derek Carr, Raiders vs. Eagles (DK: $6,000 | FD: $7,400)Carr just put up 24.5 fantasy points in the Raiders 34-24 road win over division-rival Denver, posting 341 pa sing yards, two TDs, and a 134.4 QB rating, but his DraftKings cost only went up $400 this week. Well take it, as the Raiders head back to Vegas to welcome a spotty Eagles secondary. Carr got the green light to unleash the ball downfield last weekend, making two connections of at least 48 yards (one to Henry Ruggs, one to Bryan Edwards), and he has the second-best receiving tight end in football in Darren Waller. Get in the Carr and dont look back.Mac Jones, Patriots vs. Jets (DK: $5,300 | FD: $6,800)Im doubling down on the Mac Attack since he made me look good last weekend against the Cowboys. The rookie QB almost led the Patriots to the win, going 15-of-21 for
Dax Milne Jersey 229 yards and two TDs. New England almost always beats up on the division-rival Jets, and Jones has grown exponentially as a pa ser since these squads met up in the Meadowlands in Week 2. For added results, stack the Mac with his favorite target, Jakobi Meyers.WEEK 7 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Chuba Hubbard, Panthers at Giants (DK: $6,100 | FD: $7,300)Chuba-Chuba choo-choo! All aboard the Chuba chugger, who has locomotioned his way to 34.9 combined PPR points over the course of Carolinas past two games. Now that Christian McCaffrey has officially been placed on the IR, Hubbard can run free without the impending threat of getting bumped back down the depth chart. With an organizational reputation of having a strong front-seven, you might think the G-men are good against the run, but New
Sam Howell Jersey York has surrendered the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season.Damien Harris, Patriots vs. Jets (DK: $5,700 | FD: $6,800)Harris has had quite the roller coaster season. He scored 29.1 fantasy points over the course of the first two weeks, then he totaled 7.7 points acro s Weeks 3 and 4. He bounced back to score31.6 between Weeks 5 and 6. I think he will buck that weird "two good, two bad" trend this week against the Jets, who he back in Week 2 in the Meadowlands. Bill Belichick likes to control the clock against inferior opponents, so expect a healthy number of touches for Harris this Sunday. He might finish with a similar game log to his Week 6 performance against Dallas: 18-101-1.J.D. McKi sic, Washington at Packers (DK: $5,000 | FD: $5,700)Whether or not Antonio Gibson suits up with his calf and shin ailments, McKi sic looks like a great value play. A strong pa s-catcher out of the backfield, he will get plenty of run in a game oddsmakers project to finish at or around 30-20 Green Bay. McKi sic finished last week with eight carries for 45 yards and caught a whopping eight-of-10 targets for 65 yards. Thats 19 PPR points without even sniffing the end zone, for those keeping score at home.WEEK 7 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Jaylen Waddle, Dophins vs. Falcons (DK: $5,600 | FD: $5,900)Waddles ceiling undoubtedly increases with a healthy
Jamin Davis Jersey Tua Tagovailoa, as he caught 10-of-13 targets for 70 yards and two scores in Tuas return last week. It marks just the second game in which Waddle found the end zone, with the first being in Week 1 before Tuas injury. Follow the trend, and stack the 'Phins against a Falcons defense that often gets gashed by WR1s.Jakobi Meyers, Patriots vs. Jets (DK: $5,300 | FD: $5,700)As I mentioned in the Mac Jones blurb, Meyers gets a healthy amount of looks in New Englands offense. He has enjoyed a 24.6-percent target share this season, and hes caught nearly 70 percent of pa ses thrown his way. Meyers now has 121 career catches for 1,434 yards, so to say hes due for his first career touchdown would be a ma
