Sunday has passed, but there’s still time to cash in on Draft Kings. Maybe your team(s) didn’t do so hot this week, but there’s plenty of talent available tonight. Most Draft Kings tournaments allow you to choose from Monday night’s game and Thursday night, but this roster of Packers and Chiefs will take you to the promised land.
QB: Aaron Rodgers ($8,000)
This is simple. Rodgers is the best quarterback in football, and even though the Chiefs can really get after the quarterback, Rodgers is a master of unloading the ball before the pressure gets to him. When the choice is between the reigning MVP, and a guy who went 16 games last year without throwing a touchdown pass to a wide receiver, you go with the former.
Karlos Williams, Not LeSean McCoy, Is The Bills Back To Own Right Now
RB1: Jamaal Charles ($7,400)
Charles is touching the ball 25 times a game, and through two weeks he’s scored in both tilts. He is the entire Chiefs offense, and the Packers don’t have a very stout D. Charles was able to rip off 125 yards on a short week vs. the Broncos last Thursday, so he should be fresh tonight, and running angry after two fumbles last time out. Green Bay is also the worst run defense in the NFL through two games per FootballOutsiders.com, so he’s probably the most obvious player in this game to be in daily fantasy lineups.
RB2: Eddie Lacy ($7,200)
Lacy’s status has been up in the air all week, but now that he’s listed as probable, you’d be silly not to roll with him. The injury, plus the Chiefs’ No. 3 ranking against the run give pause, but the alternative is James Starks. He’d be fine if Lacy were out, but you’ll prefer Lacy’s bruising style. He should get a touchdown in this game, and he is a surprisingly steady option in the passing game. For Draft Kings, which is a PPR format, that’s a nice plus.
Winless Teams Save Their Seasons In Week 3
WR1: Randall Cobb ($7,300)
Cobb is the most expensive receiver possible, and for good reason. He’s Rodgers’ clear No. 1 target, he torched Seattle’s secondary last week, and even though Kansas City has a good defense, they have no one that can handle him one-on-one. If Rodgers is going to have a good night – and he almost always does – then Cobb will be the big winner.
WR2: Jeremy Maclin ($6,000)
Maclin has passed the eye test in his first two games with the Chiefs, but thus far he’s been unable to break Smith’s consecutive games without a touchdown to a receiver streak. He’s been targeted 16 times in two games, so it’s only a matter of time before he finally scores.
WR3: James Jones ($4,800)
Jones’ hype may be going a little too far, but it’s hard to argue with his short-term results. Three touchdowns in two games is solid production, and it’s potentially sustainable (somewhat) because of who his quarterback is.
In the long-term Cobb and Davante Adams are better bets in season-long leagues, but for now Jones appears to be Rodgers’ second passing option in the red zone behind only Cobb. The Packers figure to be in the red zone more often than not, so ride the wave.
TE: Richard Rodgers ($2,500)
Stacking – pairing up a QB and his potential targets – is very popular in fantasy football. With Richard Rodgers you get a rare double-stack, wherein the two options actually share a name. Beyond that, when you have so many studs on one roster, there must be sacrifices. Travis Kelce is not affordable based on the other players here, so Rodgers is the next best thing.
He’s gotten seven targets in two games; you’re hoping tonight his limited targets come in the red zone.
FLEX: Knile Davis ($3,000)
The decision to play Davis over Starks boils down to this; who is more likely to score a touchdown? Lacy, if healthy, is getting those looks over Starks. Davis, on the other hand, has already vulture a score this year from Charles.
D/ST: Packers ($2,900)
The Packers will win this game, and in the process give up fewer points. Kansas City might rack up more sacks, but the turnover potential is equal, it’s just bad form to play a D/ST going against Rodgers.
