There are only 11 games on the FanDuel NFL DFS main slate this week, and it is an interesting one. Some spots stand out, but a lot of them aren’t the cheapest players so it creates a fun dynamic when building a lineup. We should also be able to find some pivots away from the chalk, so let’s dig into it.
Quarterbacks
Studs
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills ($9,200)
I don’t think I end up spending this much at quarterback, because I may need the salary for other positions, but Josh Allen does look appealing. He’s up to fourth in points per dropback, 10th in passing yards and fourth in touchdown passes despite sitting just 14th in attempts. Allen is also shredding Cover-2 defenses this season with a 115.3 passer rating and an 81.8% completion rate. The Colts have faced the seventh-most attempts in a Cover-2 defense this season. None of those stats take into account his rushing ability, nor the fact that Indy is 28th in DVOA against the pass and 25th in DVOA-adjusted points against the position.
