KICKER

For some reason FanDuel still includes the kicker spot while many other daily fantasy sites have dropped it. I will make it simple for you, play a kicker from an offense you like with a salary that works with the rest of your team.

DEFENSE

Miami Dolphins ($4600) – This seems like a pretty easy play this week and for good reason as the Browns will be rolling out their third quarterback in three weeks with rookie Cody Kessler. The last report I read on Kessler was that he is “not NFL ready” which is a ringing endorsement for a QB set to start this week against and already solid defense. This Dolphins team struggled a bit with the Patriots last week but generated a few turnovers in week one and are in a prime matchup to be the #1 scoring defense this week.
