Quarterbacks
Jacoby Brissett (ARI) vs. DET | DraftKings: $5,500/FanDuel: $6,700 — There’s plenty to love about Brissett at this price, with the Lions-Cardinals game having a Sunday slate-high 54.5-point total, and the Lions allowing the most DraftKings points to the position through the first four weeks. Brissett has thrown at least 35 passes in three of these weeks, so the math adds up here. Brissett-Wilson will be a popular stack this weekend.
Also consider: Jared Goff (DET) in DK at $6.6K and FD at $8.1K
“(Jared) Goff has exceeded salary-based expectations on FanDuel in each of his last three games … He is the second-most expensive QB on DraftKings and the third-most on FanDuel, but he makes the most sense as a pay-up play due to his ceiling against the Cardinals.” — Zach Thompson, Fantasy Labs
Running Backs
Jaylen Warren (PIT) vs. IND | DraftKings: $6,700/FanDuel: $6,700 — Rico Dowdle practiced in a limited fashion all week, and looks likely to return to the field. But don’t be surprised if he’s eased back, given how well Warren has held the fort down. He’s totaled 220 rushing yards and 82 receiving yards over the last two weeks, and is averaging 15.0 DK points per game on the season. It’s a good matchup as well against the Colts, who’ve yielded the eighth-most DK points to backs this season.
Also consider: Braelon Allen (NYJ) in DK and FD at $5.9K; Chase Brown (CIN) in DK at $6.9K
“(Chase) Brown‘s likely to retain an elevated role in the passing game if at least one of (Ja’Marr) Chase or (Tee) Higgins sits against a Dolphins defense that has allowed a league-high four receiving TDs to RBs.” — Sasha Yodashkin, RotoWire
Wide Receivers
DK Metcalf (PIT) vs. IND | DraftKings: $5,400/FanDuel: $6,800 — Metcalf leads the Steelers with 33 targets, and is coming off of 115 yards on five receptions last week. With Michael Pittman Jr. expected to be sidelined for several weeks, and Aaron Rodgers playing well (290+ yards and three TDs in back-to-back games), Metcalf is likely to see his salary jump in the coming weeks.
Also consider: Michael Wilson (ARI) in FD at $6.4K; Romeo Doubs (NE) in DK at $5K
“With A.J. Brown and now Mack Hollins injured, (Romeo) Doubs has become the focal point of New England’s passing attack. … Expect Doubs to be featured against a Raiders defense that’s permitted 100-yard games to wideouts in back-to-back weeks.” — Justin Boone, Yahoo! Sports
Tight Ends
Isaiah Likely (NYG) at WAS | DraftKings: $4,300/FanDuel: $5,300 — Despite the loss of Jaxson Dart, Likely remains a key cog in the Giants’ passing game and leads the team with 35 targets. Washington has allowed tight ends to hit paydirt in each of their first four games.
Also consider: Sam LaPorta (DET) in DK at $4.9K
Chart metrics explained
FPPG - The player’s fantasy points per game scored so far in 2025, based on the respective DFS platform (see DraftKings and FanDuel scoring rules).
DvP - Stands for Defense vs. Position. The higher the rank (i.e. 1), the better the defense is, and therefore, the worse the fantasy matchup is for the player.
Value - A metric projecting how much return on investment a player will deliver, based on their salary and projected performance (Proj.)
