DFS Building Blocks – Week 2
SUNDAY UPDATE: Sticking to my Lamar Jackson core on FD. His ownership is quite a bit lower than the other QBs on the slate and we know he can win with his arm and legs. Hopefully Andrews opens things up for everyone more.
I’m fading the two major chalk pieces of Kelly and Dillon. Okay plays in cash if you want to go there, but even in cash, you can find similar plays at the same prices.
In the spirit of building game overstacks to try to the win the million, I’ve got a Fields + Moore + Kmet + White + Godwin stack. You can build similar for any game on the slate in hopes the chalk games disappoint and you’re low-owned game shoots out. We see this happen several times a year and, don’t forget, we saw Fields + Kmet win people a lot of money last year. It shouldn’t sneak up on anyone but, from an expected ownership perspective, it seems to be forgotten.
———————————————————————–
Week 1 is in the books, and it was a pretty weird week for some of the stacking options all things considered. Great defenses came to play in games that silenced Joe Burrow and his receivers, Josh Allen and the Bills offense and even Jalen Hurts was limited in point scoring, especially stacked with A.J. Brown.
Some of the value picks went extremely well, especially the likes of Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison on their debuts, and we now have a whole slate to break down and work with as we look to improve on our DFS rosters for Week 2.
We’re going to see weeks like last week when you really need to be on the top game environment or a top player, like Tyreek Hill. Thankfully, we were on the Dolphins and Chargers last week and Hill was a lock for us. Had we played it more traditionally (RB from the favorite, and QB + WR from the dog) we may have ended up with Tua + Ekeler + Hill rather than taking a lower-owned approach with Herbert + Hill + Everett. Had our ancillary pieces hit we were in line for a monster, but we cashed our main lineup and now we move on.
This week is setting up to be the week of bounce-backs. Plenty of bounce-back players and teams this week, and plenty of games that could turn into shootouts. We’ll need luck to go our way this week to make sure we land on the right game environment and pieces, so don’t go overboard with your budgets. This type of week is a fun one to build more lineups than you usually do (at lower entry fees than you usually do) so you get exposure to different games.
I’ll be focused heavily on Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Jamar Chase as the foundation of my bounce-backs. But you’ve got the Bills, Giants, and plenty of other options as well.
Week 2 is also the biggest week of salary corrections (or over-corrections). Use the Player Grids under the Daily Leagues menu to see what I mean. Quick primer:
Player grids give you the player’s salary, base projected points, a conservative (lower) projected points, and an aggressive (higher projected points). That information along with ownership % (also shown on the grid) is used to give a player a cash rating (50/50) and a tourney rating (GPP). It’s good to use when finding those last couple players to fill out your lineup or even as a starting point if you prefer.
What’s especially helpful, especially in week 2, is the salary +/- which shows how much a player’s salary has gone up or down this week compared to week one. Can target players who went down in salary, but who we expect to still perform well overall. Lamar Jackson down $900 on FD. Davante Adams down $1200. Where last week we had opportunities to find value before salaries caught up to performance, this week we can take advantage of salary over corrections. I’m all about bounce-back opportunities in week 2.
You can click on the column headers in the grids to sort by that column so you could see the highest tourney ratings or cash ratings or biggest salary drops. Some of those salary drops are warranted but players like Derrick Henry and Chris Godwin stand out as big drops but with overall solid expectations still.
Calvin Ridley up $1800 so guess what… hello Christian Kirk this week.
Let’s get started on the 12-game slate and break down the picks for the matchups.
Game Overviews
New York Jets @ Dallas Cowboys
Time: 4:25 EST
Venue: AT&T Stadium – Arlington, Texas
Moneyline: New York Jets +350, Dallas Cowboys -450
Spread: New York Jets +9.5 (-110), Dallas Cowboys -9.5 (-110)
Total Points: Over/Under 39.5
What a brutal start for the Jets, losing Aaron Rodgers for the season to a torn achilles, and now going back to Zach Wilson for the entire campaign, starting with a road game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas completely shut out the New York Giants in Week 1, and that defense is for real. With Wilson at quarterback I can’t take anything on the Jets side this week, ruling out a Garrett Wilson stack, and I’m out on the running backs too.
Breece Hall had a couple of really nice runs but he’s not at full fitness and you could see that when he broke away on a long run, completely running out of gas 15 yards shy of the endzone. Pair that with the Cowboys and Jets both having an elite defense and there’s not going to be a lot in this game worth playing.
I might play Pollard lightly, but the move in this game is the Dallas defense. Just keep in mind that many other players will be leaning the same way this week. They’re priced highly though and don’t seem to be getting as much ownership as I would have expected, meaning paying up for Dallas DEF might actually be the game theory play here.

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
Time: 4:05 EST
Venue: SoFi Stadium – Inglewood, California
Moneyline: San Francisco 49ers -350, Los Angeles Rams +275
Spread: San Francisco 49ers -8 (-110), Los Angeles Rams +8 (-110)
Total Points: Over/Under 44.5
The 49ers looked dominant on both sides of the ball in the season opener, and one of my favorite looks of the week was the connection between Brock Purdy and Brandon Aiyuk.
Aiyuk is in a contract year and Niners beat writers have been warning us that he was going to be a key piece for them this year, and we saw it with a major performance in Week 1 resulting in eight catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns.
While Aiyuk is going to be a stack I consider this week, I’m going to be showing more respect to this Rams defense than I did last week. They were well organized and shut out the Seahawks in the second half, frustrating them all afternoon.
Stafford looks to be completely healthy and playing at a high level, and Puka Nacua showed out with 15 targets, 10 catches and 119 yards in the season opener. He’s now $4,900 on DraftKings, but still a piece worth sprinkling in this week.
I’m leaning more towards the Niners stack but will play Nacua in one lineup as a longshot pick, even against the 49ers defense. I just can’t turn my back on that level of targets.

Spread: Green Bay Packers -1 (-110), Atlanta Falcons +1 (-110)

Jordan Love looked very impressive in the first week of the season, carving up a Chicago Bears defense and throwing three touchdowns in the process. Considering he did so without Christian Watson, I might lean into J Love a little this week, stacking with Romeo Doubs. Luke Musgrave also looks like an early favorite for Love, and he’s a cheap tight end option across the board.
Aaron Jones is also a very good option stacked with Love considering his involvement in the passing game, and not just on dump offs and screens. Hopefully you got him in after the Sunday morning update last week. He’s banged up this week, so I have a little less interest now.
As for the Falcons, we might be looking at yet another year of irrelevance in DFS for Kyle Pitts, and Drake London didn’t even manage a catch. Desmond Ridder looked poor, and even the run game is a problem considering Bijan Robinson had less carries than Tyler Allgeier. Is that a function of week 1 for a rookie?
For the price, perhaps Allgeier is the move this week with Bijan listed at $7,900 (DraftKings) and Allgeier down at $5,500. Definitely a snap share worth monitoring. However, on FanDuel, I’m going to pay up for the talent of Bijan. He’s priced too high for the timeshare he’s in, but his talent is too good for his sub 1% ownership level. If his talent wins out, he can be a tourney winner at that ownership level.

I was actually quite impressed with the Raiders passing game, but the run game was poor. The offensive line was manhandled by the Broncos and Josh Jacobs had no lanes all afternoon, resulting in a 2.5 yards per carry average on 19 rushing attempts. I like a potential bounce-back for Jacobs this week though.
Jakobi Meyers was superb and he might be one of the best value players in the league right now. We’ve never seen him play alongside a true wide receiver 1, and now with Davante Adams he looks set to emerge as a top tier secondary option.
In terms of DFS, I’d rather play Meyers right now as the better value play, and don’t believe that Garoppolo can support them both enough to warrant playing Adams as well. Adams still has his two-TD upside every week though.
As for the Bills, James Cook had more work than I expected to see from him. Damien Harris only got one carry while Cook took 14, and he picked up four catches in the pass game too. He’s playable this week against the Raiders.
The connection from Allen to Diggs resulted in over 100 yards and a touchdown, but I’d rather play Diggs by himself than risk Allen right now. We’ll see a Gabe Davis game at some point, could this be the week?

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals

Venue: Paycor Stadium – Cincinnati, Ohio
Moneyline: Baltimore Ravens +150, Cincinnati Bengals -182
Spread: Baltimore Ravens +3 (-106), Cincinnati Bengals -3 (-115)

Both of these offenses disappointed in Week 1, especially the Bengals, but I’m not panicking and actually see an opportunity here. After a three-point outing against the Browns, the percentage of DFS teams playing Burrow/Chase/Higgins stacks is likely going to be lower this week than it will be all season, so I’m leaning into it.
The woeful output from Burrow and co. was more a sign of elite defense from the Cleveland Browns than it was a reflection of the Bengals offense. That said, the fact that they weren’t able to make any adjustments at all to any effect is slightly concerning.
On the Ravens side, Lamar was clearly missing Mark Andrews, who is expected to be back this week, but the performance of Zay Flowers was eye-catching.
Despite both Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham being on the field, Flowers picked up ten targets, caught nine of them and ended the day with 87 receiving yards on his NFL debut. I’ll be playing him again this week as a good value addition with the potential for high volume. I’m also interested in taking a shot on Beckham this week at near zero ownership. He was on the field a ton and Andrews could play decoy in the end zone.

The Seahawks offense failed us in Week 1, getting shut out in the second half against the Rams, but we’re not giving up on them. While Detroit is a great team and deserve their flowers this year, they do allow a lot of passing yards and high scoring games.
Detroit might have tightened up a little in the secondary this year, but Geno Smith should still be able to find his way down the field and involve D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. It does feel as though Lockett is going to be the guy who misses out, but I liked the snap share for Kenneth Walker with Charbonnet picking up just three carries to Walker’s 12.
On the Detroit side, Sam LaPorta might have done enough to be playable this week, so I’m going to take a shot on him with limited exposure this week. Goff and Amon-Ra are easy picks, and Montgomery could be a play as the team’s pure runner this week too.
I’m then torn on Josh Reynolds. Marvin Jones was bad, and it was Reynolds who stepped up, but I’m not sure it’s enough to play him this week. I’d rather go with the cheap option in LaPorta or Gibbs as wildcard picks.

I feel like we learned a lot from these two teams in Week 1. Both have rookie QBs under center and both came with a ton of questions as to target share for the wide receivers and the capability of the quarterback to hit them.
As it turns out, both C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson did a great job, all things considered. Stroud threw for 242 yards on the road in Baltimore, and Richardson did the same against Jacksonville with an additional 40 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.
What did we learn? Michael Pittman is the volume target on the Colts offense, by a distance, and that could be a stack worth watching over the coming weeks. In just one week Richardson immediately looks plausible in DFS lineups, and with Pittman getting eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, the two could be a very valuable play.
On the Texans side, Robert Woods is relevant, but not exciting, and Nico Collins is going to see some targets too. Tank Dell could come into play, he did get involved in Week 1, so we might throw him in as a lottery pick this week.
It’s a low total for this game so I’m playing it lightly, but leaning on the Colts side of things.
I also started the week wanting to target the Texans DEF, maybe paired with Pierce, as leverage away from the Cowboys DEF, but they’re actually much closer in ownership than expected, which makes the Texans DEF a play that is trying to hard, with not enough leverage. That said, Richardson will have a rookie disaster game at some point…

I do not like the Kansas City Chiefs right now when it comes to DFS. It’s just far too messy, even with the running backs. But, guess what, that also makes me like the Chiefs for DFS!
Anybody who played Pacheco last week got cut down by Clyde Edwards-Helaire taking six carries, while Pacheco only had eight. And McKinnon is always lurking, making an interesting DK piece.
We have come to learn over time that this is just the way it is with Andy Reid. The same applies to Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore and Rashee Rice, who are all practically unplayable because they’re so unreliable week to week. That being said, Rice is the cheapest of the group on DraftKings ($3,800), and somebody has to produce for Patrick Mahomes, so I’m going to play him lightly this week. I also like firing up Skyy Moore after being a huge disappointment in Week 1. Kelce could come back and dominate, but he could also open things up and we see Moore bounce back at tiny ownership. Mahomes, because he spreads it around so much, is also one of the rare QBs you can play naked.
For the Jags, Calvin Ridley is the real deal, and Trevor Lawrence just loves throwing him the ball. He is now immediately expensive however on DFS, but as a stack it could be a play I look into with T Law. I also like looking to a Kirk bounce-back this week.
The number one play for me here is still Travis Etienne, despite Bigsby getting some work, which was to be expected. Etienne just adds enough explosive upside plus the pass catching support, so he’ll be in my lineups again this week.

I’m playing this game very lightly. There’s not a lot to like here.
Justin Fields spread the ball around against the Packers, and it didn’t look like D.J. Moore was going to stand out far and above the likes of Darnell Mooney or Cole Kmet, at least in Week 1.
The Bears passing game still isn’t reliable at this point in time, but Kmet does look to be one of the better tight end plays right now, continuing the form he had at the back end of last season.
In Tampa, Baker Mayfield surprised me, but is it enough to play him or any of his receivers? Mike Evans picked up 66 yards, but a chunk of that came on a deep touchdown, so I’m not sure he’s playable, especially for the price. Godwin is still due some TD regression, so not a bad tourney option.
I do not like the running back situation on either team, so avoiding both at all costs. Rachaad White had 17 carries for 39 yards, averaging 2.3 yards per carry. To be avoided until he can show the potential in the receiving game we thought he had going in to the season and last week.

Deandre Hopkins might have some relevance here as the clear number one target, the problem is playing with Ryan Tannehill. He opened the season with three picks and I just feel like his job isn’t safe. The Titans offense could be a mess this year and I don’t know that I want to expose myself to that.
That being said, I’ll play Hopkins lightly this week considering the fact that the Chargers just allowed almost passing 500 yards against the Miami Dolphins. Miami is a far stronger passing offense, but there’s room there for Hopkins to have a big day if Tannehill can find him. Westbrook-Ikhine also has strong potential at low ownership.
Derrick Henry is a tough call right now. His carries were down a little and there are better plays for the price. Always tempting though…
On the Chargers side, with Ekeler out, Kelly is going to be very highly owned. I’ll pass. Other players priced similarly with more proven track records we can go to. The receiving corps is still a bit unknown with their roles changing but it’s much tougher to run on the Titans, so this might be the week we see them open it up. Williams on FD, Allen on DK. Both have seen their roles swapping some though.
The two tight end set up is a problem for both Everett and Parham, and hopefully Parham doesn’t keep stealing TDs from the WRs.
Chig Okonkwo had zero catches in Week 1, but I might play him once or twice this week hoping that that was a fluke.

Rough start for the Giants this season, but it’s not all bad news.
It is very evident that their wide receivers are just not good enough, and the fact that they brought receivers in to work out following the loss only confirms that. Jalin Hyatt had zero catches and the Giants targeted 11 different players, it’s just a mess.
Saquon Barkley is the only play right now for the Giants, but I love their defense against Arizona. I don’t love Darren Waller, but he could have a big day against this Cardinals defense. Used to be a standing rule to play TE against the Cardinals.
There’s only one play on the Cardinals side here too, and it’s tight end Zach Ertz. Against the Giants, I’d be very cautious, so I might play him with very limited exposure.

I do not like this matchup at all on either side. In fact, there’s plenty to dislike.
Antonio Gibson is completely redundant at this point, and while Brian Robinson got the lion’s share of carries the production was below average. The receivers then split the work almost evenly between Curtis Samuel, Jahan Dotson and Logan Thomas at tight end, and Terry Mclaurin isn’t 100% and only picked up two targets.
On the Broncos side, I like Samaje Perine as a sneaky play. He led the team in receiving yards, which is kind of a problem for the Broncos but great for my DFS lineup. Adam Trautmann is also finally relevant. Wilson loves his tight ends and he was favored over Dulcich, and now Dulcich is out, so one to keep an eye on there.
Dotson + Trautman seems like a really underpriced stack on DK.
I won’t be playing either quarterback.

The Lineup Build
Lot of games we could target this week, so take your pick. Could go heavy on Lions and Seahawks for the ownership leverage with Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown, as well as potentially adding Sam LaPorta into that stack.
With the Texans DEF actually picking up some popularity, the play could be Anthony Richardson and Michael Pittman, but considering the Week 1 performance and the fact that stacking the two might be a little less common this week, I think playing it paired with a safe bet is a good option. For example, those two, plus Saquon Barkley and the Giants defense in Arizona is a really nice set up to get your lineup started.
FD
I’ll have two main cores here. Lamar + Beckham + Chase + Kirk + Kelce. Mahomes + Moore + Kirk + Chase + Andrews. I could also simplify it some and swap those around to get the QB + TE pairs. I like paying up for Bijan because of the talent, but might move down to Barkley + Giants DEF. This is a week to check in for a Sunday morning update to see where I ultimately land.
DK
Feel free to stick to one of the other cores I listed for FD here, but I like to get a little more diversity, so I’m going to make a full leverage lineup fading the Joshua Kelly chalk. I’ll go Herbert + Allen + Ikhine. I like the Trautman + Dotson stack. And Barkley + Giants DEF. Can play around with another RB and WR pair. Reminder to use the Player Grids in the Daily Leagues menu to help find tourney and cash players to fill out the rest of your lineups. Quick primer:
Yahoo
Yahoo is the place to try out my Anthony Richardson and Michael Pittman stack. The two combined are $44, which is $18 less than Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley. Easy choice for me there.
I then went for CMC and David Montgomery at running back, having got such good value in my QB/WR stack, and finished off the skill positions with Mike Williams, Mike Evans and Rashee Rice in the flex as my lottery play. Luke Musgrave looks like great value to me at tight end, and this time I’m taking the Packers defense.
Exposure is fairly well spread, I’m going to do a couple more lineups on DraftKings exploring T Law/Ridley and another Richardson/Pittman stack, but overall happy with the way things are spread out this week, expecting to see some results.
