Fantasy: NFL DFS Draftkings Sleepers Week 3
Welcome to all my DraftKings players. Every week I will be picking players that I believe will help you win some money. Check out DraftCrunch.com to get all your help in building your lineup and see the projections. They are all about transparency and bridging the gap between the 99% and the 1%.
In this post I will be giving you players that could win you one of the big tournament games. All these projections are through DraftCrunch.com. Lets look at Week 3 and sleeper picks.
QBs

Marcus Mariota ($5900)
Dak Prescott ($5700)
For second straight week, these two are my sleeper picks at QB. Mariota gets a juicy match-up against the Raiders, who just gave up a ton of yards and points the last two week. Expect more of the same as the Raiders defense is not stopping anyone. Prescott also gets another bad defense in the Bears. The Bear's defense was just shredded by a rookie QB, Wentz, now Prescott will have the same chance to do it again this week. Plus the Bears maybe without Cutler. Both QBs also are very good running and the appeal of scoring a rushing TD adds to their value.
RBs

Melvin Gordon ($5800)
Theo Reddick ($4900)
Both these backs all of sudden become the feature backs and won't split carries. Gordon has been solid through two weeks and Woodhead is out, so expect the Chargers to lean heavily on Gordon. In similar fashion, Reddick was a back-up but becomes the starter after Abdullah got hurt. In Reddick's case his value won't be any higher and with his price still under $5000, he is a steal.
WRs

Stefon Diggs ($5100)
Victor Cruz ($4700)
Surprisingly Diggs's price has not gone up that much after a break-out performance. With the Vikings missing Peterson this week they will pass a lot more. Bradford showed a good connection with Diggs and at the price, he is a major steal. Cruz has another great match-up, he plays against the porous Redskins defense. Early reports indicate that Beckham will be shadowed by Norman, so Cruz has got an opportunity to get lots of targets against the other corners for the Redskins.
