Jonathan Taylor has become a top-shelf commodity on FanDuel. At his $10,500 price for Week 13, the Colts RB falls short of being a must-play in any format. So who can we look to for upside at RB instead? And is there a high-dollar stud at another position that makes more sense for our cash lineups on this main slate? Let's hit the rundown: QB ... 00:49 RB ... 5:32 WR ... 10:09 TE ... 13:57 Defense ... 17:22 Check out Kevin's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP top plays for FanDuel. Play around wit...

Jonathan Taylor and Alexander Mattison top our Week 13 rankings at RB, and it's a little intimidating to consider building DFS lineups without them. But there just might be enough affordable, high-upside workhorse RBs to make that a possibility. Of course, we would do so not to avoid this week's high-end runners, but rather to include some attractive plays at other positions. Let's get to the rundown ... QB ... 1:46 RB ... 8:52 WR ... 14:34 TE ... 20:24 Defense ... 23:48 Check out Jared's cash-...

This is an important week of fantasy football, whether you're starting playoffs in the FFPC tournament or trying to reach them in your home league. We're starting it off with tough decisions at RB (Ezekiel Elliott, Mark Ingram) and WR (Amari Cooper). Then NFL Week 13 finishes with 4 split backfields to sort. In between come plenty of other decisions (Jamaal Williams), sleepers (Foster Moreau?) and situations to avoid (the Jets). Let's run through every game on the slate ... Dallas Cowboys at Ne...

With Cam Newton priced up on FanDuel, the QB field looks more wide open. Christian McCaffrey is tough to look away from, especially with a price reduction this week. Several crowded backfields present upside options if we can figure out the workload splits. And the Buccaneers-Colts matchup doesn't quite have us agreeing on everything. Here's the rundown: QB ... 00:50 RB ... 5:35 WR ... 11:11 TE ... 15:45 Defense ... 19:22 Check out Kevin's cash-game picks and Corey's GPP top plays for FanDuel. ...

Cam Newton came through for the Panthers and fantasy football teams in his 1st start back with his old team. He's pretty easy to like now at a still-modest DK price. Newton's steadying of the QB spot also makes Christian McCaffrey tough to avoid. Is there still cause for concern amid Miles Sanders' positive return? And how much value can/should we mine from Buccaneers-Colts? Here's the rundown: QB ... 1:46 RB ... 7:59 WR ... 17:02 TE ... 23:35 Defense ... 26:52 Check out Jared's cash-game picks...

A.J. Brown stands out for this week's matchup with Houston. Should we be apprehensive after his down Week 10, though?

Just like in Week 10, the main slate once again provides many attractive RB options. The ability to spend down at that spot opens up possibilities at WR and makes it easier to go studly (Patrick Mahomes?) at QB across contest formats. AJ Dillon and James Conner stand out as low-priced workhorses, while Myles Gaskin draws the league's best matchup. And, of course, savings there can make it easier to fit Christian McCaffrey before his salary gets back to the $10K range. QB ... 1:18 RB ... 7:13 W...

The Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs hit Thursday with the league's highest over/under by 6 points, so you know we're playing everyone available from that contest.

With Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs mercifully off this week's main slate, it's not immediately clear whether any game takes center stage. The Vikings-Chargers clash in L.A. seems to present as much upside as any, though. Justin Herbert comes off a bounce-back performance at Philly. Dalvin Cook gets a run-funnel defensive matchup. And we might be able to get some stud wideouts at lower ownership than usual. We'll also run through some attractive value options at RB and TE that can help you unl...

Alvin Kamara's knee injury and Nick Chubb's COVID status leave us with a couple of fill-in RBs who are difficult to avoid. Do we play both, though, or fit high-end RBs Dalvin Cook and Najee Harris into the same lineup? The answer isn't necessarily 1 or the other this week, because there are enough options across positions to get creative with your lineup building.

Who are we getting back this week, and who are we losing? Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers appear ready to drastically improve the Seahawks-Packers matchup. Alvin Kamara and Chris Godwin might be leaving holes in our fantasy football lineups, though.

Ezekiel Elliott and Tyreek Hill sit at the front of the Week 9 class on FanDuel. But we're also looking to Josh Allen and crew, with less need to save salary.

How Packers QB Jordan Love fares in his 1st NFL start is anyone's guess. But at just $4400 on the DraftKings main slate, he could be the key to a lineup packed with high-ceiling studs. Even with byes injuries and the schedule claiming a number of big-named RBs, we're still drawn to several top-shelf plays in good spots. Kansas City's relative struggles in recent weeks have created uncommon value among the top Chiefs. And, of course, we'll highlight some salary-saving options at each position t...

NFL Week 9 forces fantasy football managers to deal with the fallout of Derrick Henry's foot fracture. Is Adrian Peterson the answer, or just a guy who cost too much on waivers this week? Jameis Winston's ACL tear in New Orleans probably upgraded the QB spot for fantasy ... unless Taysom Hill isn't the starter. The Chiefs' offense might have been more worrisome in its Week 8 victory than the Week 7 loss at Tennessee. And which TE is just "fancy Kyle Rudolph"? Here's the rundown: Buffalo Bills ...

Josh Allen and the Bills hit Week 8 with the league's highest implied team total, facing a Dolphins defense that has allowed them 31+ points in 3 straight meetings. Playing him will cost you, though. So let's sort through the value options at the rest of the positions ... including some alternatives to Eagles RB Kenneth Gainwell.

If we're paying up for Josh Allen on FanDuel this week, then we'll need to save some salary elsewhere. Fortunately, there are some affordable -- and attractive -- options at RB. There are also some nicely priced lead wideouts and even a cheap target or 2 at TE.

Tom Brady looks like he'll get Rob Gronkowski back but will still miss Antonio Brown for a while. And Draft Sharks Breakout Pick Jerry Jeudy finally looks ready to return from his Week 1 high-ankle sprain. At what level d...

It's easy to make a case for Derrick Henry in any format, but it'll be far from easy to build a lineup around him at $11,000 on FanDuel this week. So who are the RB alternatives?

Even if you missed out on D'Ernest Johnson's Thursday night breakout party, it is still possible to find starting RBs for NFL Week 7. You'll probably need to dip below your normal standards, though. Calvin Ridley re-joins the Falcons coming off a bye and finds a pass offense that has actually been pretty solid lately. Dallas Goedert returns from the COVID list to find an opportunity boost, while Zach Ertz only adds to DeAndre Hopkins' target challengers in Arizona. We're also running through all...

Both coming off big games and posting top-7 fantasy numbers for the season, Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert are set to square off in Baltimore this Sunday. Herbert might be missing Mike Williams, but both look central to QB planning for DFS lineups. There's plenty more QB intrigue as well, though: Patrick Mahomes faces a poorly performing Washington defense. Matthew Stafford visits the Giants. The RB landscape for Week 6 changed when Nick Chubb's calf injury boosted Kareem Hunt. But there's pl...

We're all waiting on Terry McLaurin and Tyreek Hill news Sunday morning to sort out one of the weekend's marquee fantasy football matchups.

TE might be a little more interesting than usual with no Travis Kelce, George Kittle or Mark Andrews available.
