Quarterbacks
Matthew Stafford (LAR) vs. ARI
DraftKings: $6,400 | FanDuel: $7,800
A less-than-rich-man’s Josh Allen, minus the rushing ability, but Stafford’s much cheaper and has scored nearly 26 DK points in three of his four games this season. He’s also thrown over 50 passes in his last three. He should have another strong fantasy outing, with the pending matchup against the xx having a 52-point line and the Rams as 12.5-point favorites. The only danger here is the game script, should the Rams jump out to a big early lead.
Also consider: DeShaun Watson (CLE) in DK at $4.9K
“Watson still hasn’t been elite for fantasy purposes, but he’s dirt cheap at just $4,900 on DraftKings. That’s just $100 more than Jalon Daniels and Cam Ward, and Watson has more upside than both.” — Matt LaMarca, Fantasy Labs
Running Backs
Rhamondre Stevenson (NE) vs. NYJ
DraftKings: $6,000 | FanDuel: $6,300
With TreVeyon Henderson injured, Stevenson will carry the backfield for New England, a team that is starting to put things together offensively after a very slow start to the season. Expect plenty of touches in this one, with the Patriots favored by 7.5 points against the Jets.
Also consider: Braelon Allen (NYJ) in DK at 5.7K and FD at $6.2K
“This is a sneaky good spot for Allen, who will serve as the lead back again this week as Breece Hall remains out. The Patriots rank 24th against the run in DVOA, but they rank 30th in line yards allowed, which tells me that opposing offensive lines are opening holes and creating opportunities.” — Dan Paylo, RotoBaller.com
Wide Receivers
Malik Nabers (NYG) vs. NO | DraftKings: $6,500/FanDuel: $7,800 — You’d be forgiven for writing off Nabers after his slow start and the loss of Jaxson Dart at quarterback, but he’s topped 26 DK points in each of his last two games. Jameis Winston targeted him 20 times last week, and with the Giants the underdogs against the Saints, the game script should favor him again this week.
Also consider: Xavier Worthy (KC) in DK at $4.6K and in FD at 6.1K
“The last time Worthy got a chance to work as the team’s top WR was during the 2025 postseason, when he compiled 19 catches for 287 yards and three TDs. … the Chargers have had more than their fair share of missed assignments leading to big opposing plays … en route to an 0-5 start.” — Sasha Yodashkin, RotoWire
Tight Ends
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.)
