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

Minnesota Vikings ($4800) vs. Houston – Until the Vikings are the top priced defense and play a great offense, I will continue to use them. This is a team that has all the makings of a truly elite defense and I would go as far as saying they are a top three defense right now. This week they take on a Houston team that has been fairly effective this season but features a QB that has the tendency to throw picks. He has already thrown 6 of them this season and I like the Vikings to pick him off at least once again this Sunday.
