The 2017 NFL Schedule rolls into Week 4 as teams look to solidify themselves as the first quarter of the regular season comes to an end. Luckily for Daily Fantasy Football owners looking to cash in on FanDuel, the action this week is heavy with a ton of prime-time fantasy matchups to consider.

For us while we love the idea of building around guys like Tom Brady, Julio Jones and Rob Gronkowski. The reality is that simply can’t be done without jeopardizing the rest of your FanDuel lineup or by finding one or two solid bargains or fantasy sleepers to build around. One of those bargain/sleeper types we like this week is Marvin Jones of the Detroit Lions while Kenny Golladay if in action could see some usage despite his injury situation.

Here is our look at some of our key FanDuel Bargains & Sleepers for week 4 of the 2017-2018 NFL Season.

Running Back Bargains & Sleepers

D’Onta Foreman – Houston Texans: Now Foreman might not be the main back in Houston but he is still a real threat to possible be a fantasy weapon moving on. While Foreman isn’t a must use option, he does present a solid option under the $5k mark and one that managed to post 10 fantasy points last week despite touching the ball just 10 tens. Look for the Texans to get Foreman involved in the passing game early to help mix up the Tennessee Titans defense.

Javorius Allen, Baltimore Ravens: Despite managing to get just 28 yards total last week we still like Allen against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. One thing for owners looking to Allen is the fact Terrance West lost a fumble last week coming just one play after taunting the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the past, this has led some players to go into the dog house in Baltimore which could open up Allen for a big game. Allen has also been targeted six times in each of the last two games out of the backfield.

Other notable Running Back Bargains and Sleepers include Joe Mixon, Branden Oliver &Wayne Gallman (Possible injury option).

Wide Receivers Bargains & Sleepers

Will Fuller V – Houston Texans: While this could be a deep sleeper type of play we like the idea of locking in Fuller if he is a go against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans enter this contest having allowed over 500 yards receiving to opposing receivers this season with five total touchdown grabs.

Mike Wallace – Baltimore Ravens: Despite barely hearing his name through the first three weeks of the regular season, Mike Wallace could see some real fantasy value this week. Wallace who is coming off a solid 2016 campaign hasn’t been able to make any real plays on offense but look for him to put a little extra emotion this week as he looks to knock off his former Pittsburgh Steelers team.

Paul Richardson – Seattle Seahawks: One name to pay extra close attention to this week is Doug Baldwin. If Baldwin is a no go for the Seahawks against the Indianapolis Colts, look for Richardson’s stock value to go up. The Colts have allowed 562 yards and three touchdowns to opposing wide receivers this season.

Other notable Wide Receiver Bargains and Sleepers include Rashard Higgins, Tyler Boyd &Travis Benjamin.

Tight End Bargains & Sleepers

Ryan Griffin – Houston Texans: Griffin should see himself move into a more active role in the Texans offense now that C.J. Fiedorowicz has landed on the IR. Last week, Griffin was targeted six times pulling in five of those passes for 61 yards as well as one of them going for a touchdown.

Other notable Tight End Bargains and Sleepers include Austin Seferian-Jenkins, David Njoku& Jesse James (Injury).

The second week of the 2017 NFL Schedule has wrapped up as Daily Fantasy Football owners turn their attention to Week 3 on FanDuel. This week is going to be a busy week for us with some early football taking place in London to go along with the Thursday Night Football matchup.

Today we are going to take a look at the NFL Defenses you will want to avoid when building your Daily Fantasy Football lineups on FanDuel as well as for any of you season long fantasy football owners looking to lock in your lineup. Should C.J. Anderson get a nod against the Buffalo Bills? Could Drew Brees put up big numbers against a stingy Carolina Panthers Defense?

Now with that said let’s take a look at each position for the Week 3 Schedule to see which fantasy football options you will want to avoid as well as a few top tier fantasy options you might want to pass on.

Top Defenses to Avoid in Week 3

Baltimore Ravens:This might not be the Ravens defense of 2000 but they sure do know how to make big plays when needed. While most daily fantasy football owners will not have to worry about them, there are still FanDuel contests available to include the 9:30am matchup between the Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium. Entering Week 3 the Ravens defense has been stingy against both the run and pass while forcing a league high 10 turnovers (8 interceptions/2 fumbles). While Leonard Fournette might reward his GPP owners, we suggest staying away from the rest of the Jaguars offensive weapons for Week 3.

Positions to Avoid: Quarterback, Wide Receivers and Tight End

Carolina Panthers:Yes, while the statistics rank the Panthers up at the top of the NFL in defense, my big question is shutting down a bad San Francisco 49ers team and a Buffalo Bills team a team worth shying away from in Week 3? For me till a team shows they can move the ball you have to at least consider not building against them. The Panthers have allowed just 393 yards of offense over the first two weeks including just 120 yards on the ground and 273 passing yards. While Drew Brees is still an option every week, we suggest avoiding the Saints running backs and tight end in Week 3.

Positions to Avoid in this Matchup: Running Backs & Tight End

Cleveland Browns: Not every matchup is about the numbers in the stat book and that is the case with the Browns. While the team lost back to back games to start the season, they looked good against a very good Pittsburgh Steelers team and a solid Baltimore Ravens team. Key turnovers on offense led to some of the points they have allowed through the first two games. This week we should see a much-improved defense against an Indianapolis Colts offense that has a ton of question marks.

Positions to Avoid: Quarterback, Wide Receivers, Running Back, Tight End

Denver Broncos: In case you missed Week 2, I am here to remind you the Broncos smashed a very good Dallas Cowboys team. This week they will travel to Buffalo to take on a Bills team that struggled to get anything going on offense including in their running game. While the Bills might have a small chance to move the ball in the air, we strongly suggest avoiding LeSean McCoy and the Bills running attack in Week 3.

Positions to Avoid in this Matchup: Running Back

Key Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 3

Quarterbacks: Aaron Rodgers, Phillip Rivers & Marcus Mariota
Running backs: Dalvin Cook, Devonta Freeman & C.J. Anderson
Wide Receivers: Jordy Nelson, Michael Thomas &Brandin Cooks
Tight Ends: Tyler Eifert, Jimmy Graham & Delanie Walker

The first week of the 2017 NFL Schedule is in the books as we turn our week to another action packed week of Daily Fantasy Football on FanDuel. As we get set for Week 2 of the NFL season, Week 1 presented us with some solid performances from some of the games top stars as well as some of the new faces of the league.

Today we are going to turn our attention to some of the top FanDuel Bargains for week 2 that can not only save you a few dollars on your cap but also help you cash in. In Week 1, Jesse James netted fantasy owners 19.1 fantasy points at the tight end position while rookie Kenny Golladay rewarded his owners with a 20.9 at the wide receiver positions. Each of these fantasy stars from Week 1 were Fantasy Bargains.

The big question for us today is what games of the NFL Schedule for Week 2 will deliver some more breakout stars? One game we are turning at the top is the New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints matchup. These two teams both struggled on defense in their week 1 losses opening the door for some big time fantasy performances this week.

In this contest a few of the players we like from a Fantasy Bargain/Sleeper side is Phillip Dorsett, Dion Lewis and Brandon Coleman. Dorsett and Lewis could become key weapons in the passing game if Danny Amendola misses this week due to injury, Coleman on the other hand despite a lackluster performance last week was on the field for 48 of the teams 62 offensive plays.

Here is our look at some of our key FanDuel Bargains & Sleepers for week 2 of the NFL Season.

2017 NFL Week 2 Fantasy Bargains & Sleepers

Running Back Bargains & Sleepers

Tarik Cohen – Chicago Bears: Despite the reports leading up to Week 1 that the team was very impressed by Cohen this preseason, we didn’t warrant him as a viable option. Now that all changes after a solid performance that saw Cohen line up behind center, at the slot out wide and as an option quarterback. Look for Cohen to be a key weapon in the teams passing game now that the team lost Kevin White for the season.

Javorius Allen – Baltimore Ravens: While Allen might not be the main back in Baltimore, look for the team to continue to factor him in with Terrance West. If the team continues to focus on the run, Allen should see double digit touches on the ground against the Cleveland Browns. Along with the ground look for the Ravens to work him into the passing attack as Danny Woodhead will miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury.

Other notable Running Back Bargains and Sleepers include Marlon Mack, Dion Lewis and Shane Vereen.

Wide Receivers Bargains & Sleepers

Kevin Golladay – Detroit Lions: Gollady might sit behind both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones on the depth chart but look for him to be a favorite of Matthew Stafford going forward. Stafford targeted Golladay seven times while hooking up with him for two touchdowns. Moving forward Golladay’s size will make him a true weapon inside the red zone week in and out.

Cooper Kupp – Los Angeles Rams: Much like his rookie counterpart, Kupp shined while being a real gem for the dollar tag assessed to him on FanDuel. This week the tag is still just $5,400 making him a solid option to build around. Look for Jared Goff to target Kupp early this weekend against a Washington Redskins defense that allowed nearly 300 yards through the air in Week 1.

Russell Shepard – Carolina Panthers: Despite a solid Week 1 performance, Shepard stock has not gone up entering their matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While Kelvin Benjamin is still the main receiver in the long haul, Shepard should continue to see the ball come his way as Cam Newton looks to go with the more consistent receiver.

Other notable Wide Receiver Bargains and Sleepers include Phillip Dorsett, Tommmylee Lewis and Breshad Perriman.

Tight End Bargains & Sleepers

David Njoku – Cleveland Browns: While the matchup doesn’t look to be as some of our other bargains we like Njoku this week against the Baltimore Ravens.For us this simply comes down to Hue Jackson working out a game plan to allow DeShoneKizer to have a security blanket on short routes something that could work out big for his Njoku’s fantasy owners.

Nick Boyle – Baltimore Ravens: The other tight end we really like this week under the $5k mark is Boyle. While Boyle only had one catch for the Ravens in their season opener, much of that had to do with the fact the Ravens approached the game with a run first mentality. Look for Boyel to have his chances against a Browns team that allowed two passing touchdowns to Jesse James last week.

The hunt for September has arrived as the 2017 NFL Schedule gets underway next week. As the excitement continues to build for what looks to be another great exciting season of Fantasy Football. For us we pay extra close attention to daily fantasy football including on FanDuel, we also are here to help any owner build to win this season.

With that said, many fantasy football drafts are going on over the next few days while daily fantasy football owners start to build a plan for week 1. Today we are going to look at the 2017 NFL Draft Class to help you weed through players that are worth drafting or building around in week 1. Along with those players we are also going to give you a few key guys to monitor as the season goes on as they could be key waiver wire pickups for season long fantasy football.

One of those rookies that many fantasy football owners are looking at is DeShone Kizer. Kizer who landed the starting quarterback job for the Cleveland Browns has a chance to put up fantasy points from day 1. While we like his potential, we see him more of a gamble type option as he enters a Browns team that many think will struggle as they have many keys hole on the offensive side of the ball.

Here is a look at which rookies we really like heading into the 2017 NFL Season.

Top Fantasy Football NFL Rookies to Consider in 2017

Kareem Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs – Running Back: All eyes will be on the top two running backs of the class but one guy that should be a strong option is the Chiefs Kareem Hunt. Hunt who has looked good during the preseason was in place to be a solid option even with Spencer Ware in the fold. Now with Ware out with a knee injury, it will be almost impossible not to look at Hunt if he is available.

Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals – Running Back: The Bengals rookie running back might have slipped due to off the field concerns but that won’t slow him down on the field in 2017. Mixon who will have to compete with both Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard should be able to play himself into the main back very fast. For fantasy owners, Mixon has the ability to make a busted play into a big play with just one step.

ArDarius Stewart, New York Jets – Wide Receiver: Oh, what a mess the Jets will be this year on both sides of the football. While the team elected to go with the veteran Josh McCown which could help Stewarts production, add that with the fact this team will struggle on both sides of the ball which could open up the team to throwing more to try to keep up with opposing offenses. This should give Stewart the chance to make some plays, for us we would avoid drafting him but he could be a guy to watch or even build a daily fantasy lineup around.

Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions – Wide Receiver: Heres another receive that is well worth watching and even worth the risk of drafting in the late rounds if you have drafted well. When you look at Golladay he has the size at 6’4’’ to become the go to red zone guy for Matthew Stafford if he can shine early. While the team has talent ahead of him with Golden Tate and Marvin Jones, both of those guys lack the size to become that true red zone theat that Matthew Stafford has been looking for since Calvin Johnson retired.

Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Rams – Tight End: He might not be the typical house hold name you have come to love or even heard of at entering the 2017 NFL Season. For us we look to Everett simply based on the situation he has been thrown into with Sean McVay as the head coach. McVay who was formerly with the Washington Redskins loved to work Jordan Reed into the passing game. Much like Reed, Everett has the skills to be a key offensive weapon for the Rams if they can get some solid play at quarterback.

DeShaun Watson, Houston Texans – Quarterback: While he is on the bench to start the season, we don’t expect to see Watson there for long especially if Tom Savage comes out struggling in week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Watson is a more of a keeper league option, if he gets behind center the team has the talent on the offensive side of the ball for him to put up some solid numbers.

Other notable rookie running backs worth considering include Leonard Fournette (Jacksonville Jaguars), Dalvin Cook (Minnesota Vikings), Matt Breida (San Francisco 49ers) and Samaje Payne (Washington Redskins).

Other notable rookie wide receivers worth considering include Zay Jones (Buffalo Bills), Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles Rams) and Curtis Samuel (Carolina Panthers).

Other notable tight ends worth considering include O.J. Howard (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and David Njoku (Cleveland Browns).

Top Fantasy Sleeper NFL Rookies to Consider in 2017

Marlon Mack, Indianapolis Colts/ Jamaal Williams, Green Bay Packers: Here are two running backs that might not be worth drafting or starting day one in fantasy but we suggest monitoring their status. Williams falls into one of the better offensive attacks in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers, who lost Eddie Lacy during the offseason. While he falls behind Ty Montgomery, we could see the team turn to Williams early if they struggle on the ground. Meanwhile in Indianapolis, Mack has looked good and has impressed his coaches this offseason which could result in some playing time. Add that with the fact that Frank Gore enters the season at the age of 34 could also help his playing case.

Chad Williams, Arizona Cardinals / JuJu Smith-Schuster, Steelers:

Neither of these wide receivers landed on my top list but they are both options I love entering the season. For us Smith-Schuster could make an impact from day one but it will simply come down to how much Ben Roethlisberger turns away from Antonio Brown as well as how much opposing teams key in on him. Out West, Williams could take over some key reps at wide receiver as the team has not seen anyone stand out consistently outside of Larry Fitzgerald. With the team’s ability to move the ball on offense, Williams could see a decent number of targets each game.
