TNF DFS Showdown
Saints at Rams (-3)
O/U 46
Tonight should be a good high-scoring game with New Orleans traveling to Los Angeles. The Rams have been playing great and they have emerging stars in Kyren Williams and Puca Nacua. Both teams are 7-7 and playing for their divisions, so they have plenty to play for.
Looking at pricing, I am not seeing any good value, especially below $3k. This makes creating lineups difficult, but fun. The one player who stands out is Jimmy Grahmn at $1600. He is only getting routes on the goalline but he has a TD in each of the last 3 games. A total dart throw, but if he scores it may just make a winner.
I lean towards Rams stacks tonight. I think they have a better coach and QB, plus they are the home team. It will be hard to build stacks with LA, but a good strategy may be to roster a middle-of-the-road Saints player in Captain and build your stack in flex. Another note about LA is Cupp and Nacua are negatively correlated. Meaning it is rare that they both have huge games together. My stacks will start with Kyren Williams and one of the wideouts.
For New Orleans, I see no reason to venture much past Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave. Derek Carr is ok for stacking purposes but I don’t see him breaking the slate. Taysom Hill is always in play, but he is inconsistent. Rashid Shaheed is the most interesting with a mid-salary and upside potential. And as I mentioned above, you could always pay way down to Grahmn and hope for a TD.
For my main lineup, I am going to captain Shaheed so I can build an LA stack. I think this is the most efficient way to get who I want in my lineup. There are a lot of combinations tonight, so head over to Discord and let us discuss!
Good Luck!
