I am back with my week 3 edition of NFL FanDuel Value Picks. We were off to a great start after week 1 but came back down to earth a bit last week. QB Josh Allen was the only pick I made that ended up hitting our goal of 3x value. Time to get back on track!
Quarterback:
Josh Allen vs CIN ($7,500) – I am going to right back to my only pick that hit last week, QB Josh Allen. He has a fantastic match up in week 3 going against a Bengals defense that has allowed 24.2 & 23.64 FDP’s to QB’s through the first two weeks of the season. Allen has found the end zone twice through the air and twice on the ground through two games and has the Bills off to a 2-0 start. Look for Allen to keep his hot start going against a struggling Cincinnati team.
Running Back:
Frank Gore vs CIN ($5,700) – With breakout rookie RB Devin Singletary ruled out for Sunday, Frank Gore is set to get all he can handle against the Bengals. The Benglas defensive struggles have carried over from last season and I expect the veteran RB to take advantage. Look for Gore to receive 20+ carries and find the endzone in week 3.
Wide Reciever:
Nelson Agholor vs DET ($4,800) – The injury bug has hit the Eagles receiving corps. and Agholor may be in line for the #1 WR role this Sunday against the Lions. He looks to be slotted in as the deep threat replacement for injured WR DeSean Jackson. Agholor has blazing speed and has had big games in the past against suspect defenses.
Phillip Dorsett vs NYJ ($5,000) – With the departure of WR Antonio Brown, Dorsett looks to regain his role in the starting offense. Prior to losing snaps last week, Dorsett had a monster week 1 producing 23.5 FDP’s on 4 catches for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns. Look for QB Tom Brady to re-introduce him to the starting lineup against a bad Jets team in week 3.
Randall Cobb vs MIA ($5,300) – With emerging WR Michael Gallup going down for at least 4 weeks, Randall Cobb should have an increased oppurtunity for targets. The Cowboys have a great match up against the NFL’s worst team, the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins rank dead last defensively and have allowed 102 points through just two games this season. Look for a combination of poor defense and increased opportunity to lead to a big day for Cobb.

Tight End:
Defense:
New England Patriots vs NYJ ($5,000) – The Patriots routed the division rival Dolphions last week and will look to do the same to another division foe this week. New England has allowed only 3 total points through the first 8 quarters of the 2019 season. The Patriots defensive dominance is unquestioned and that combined with this great matchup against the banged up Jets should lead to another huge week for the Pats.
