It’s week three for daily fantasy football! Here’s the lineup to play if you want a good shot at winning on Sunday, September 22nd.

Week two sucked, let’s try this daily fantasy football thing again.

As always, my emphasis is primarily cash games, with an eye on getting into the money in tournaments. These plays are primarily valued for their high floors and low risk, although some of them have a chance to go off for big games.

I always play my own lineups. I will be playing this lineup, among others featuring a lot of the same players, on Sunday. This lineup is optimized for DraftKings salary in the 13-game Sunday slate. Don’t bet what you can’t afford to lose.

Let’s do this.

QB | Dak Prescott | vs. Miami | $6,500

You’re going to have to pay up for a quarterback this week. The fop four options have too high of floors to ignore. I’m rolling with Prescott here for the sake of the stack with Amari Cooper along with a fairly steady floor for rushing yards in a matchup with an awful Dolphins defense. Lamar Jackson is very likely the highest-scoring option of the weekend if you can make the room.

RB | Ezekiel Elliott | vs. Miami | $8,900

Don’t overthink this. If Dallas hangs 50 on the Dolphins, Zeke will probably be responsible for at least 12 of them, if not more. A huge share of touches in a great matchup. If he’s benched in the fourth, it’s because he has already smashed. As much of a sure thing as there is in this slate.

RB | Frank Gore | vs. Cincinnati | $4,400

Ryan Hodge already summed it up:

Gore is a good back who should get a lot of work in a great situation.

WR | Josh Gordon | vs. NY Jets | $5,400

With Brown’s sudden release by the Patriots, Gordon becomes the team’s number-one downfield target. His target share won’t be high, but his ADOT will be in a potential blowout against a below-average Jets secondary.

WR | Amari Cooper | vs. Miami | $7,500

With Michael Gallup out, Cooper will be one of Prescott’s only options against a devastated Dolphins’ secondary. There should be a lot of volume here in a great matchup. Randall Cobb is a good look in GPP lineups as well.

WR | Nelson Agholor | vs. Detroit | $3,600

*If Alshon Jeffrey can’t go* Agholor will be the top option for the Eagles on Sunday. Carson Wentz has good chemistry with him and Agholor is an established talent. Check the injury report in the morning.

TE | Mark Andrews | vs. Kansas City | $4,600

Going back to the well on the top target for on of the league’s leading passers in a high-total matchup with a team that historically doesn’t defend tight ends well is a play that just makes sense.

FLEX | Calvin Ridley | vs. Indianapolis | $5,300

Ridley has a big role in this offense, averaging eight targets per game and scoring two touchdowns in a pass-heavy attack. Indianapolis isn’t a bad matchup in what should be a close game that has a decently-high total. You could do a lot worse here.

dark. Next. How Would Jalen Ramsey Impact the Detroit Lions?

DST | New England | vs. NY Jets | $3,900

The Jets are rolling out Luke Falk as their starter. The Patriots are coming off a huge week and are a low-risk, high-reward option.
