How’s it going fellow fantasy football enthusiasts, Mr. Fantasy Dimes here back with another fire value plays for NFL week 3 on Draft Kings. The goal is to provide you with a few plays that you can use to finish off your rosters. These are guys with low pricing and high ceilings based on form and matchups. Check out what we have for you below.
Quarterbacks
Ryan Tannehill (TEN) @ $5900 vs MIN
Ryan Tannehill has played well the past two weeks, and that won’t change in Week 3. This year we have been targeting the Vikings defense with success and we will keep doing so with Tannehill here. Tannehill is averaging 23 fantasy points and the Vikings defense is currently ranked 2nds worst against the wide receiver position. Yes, the Titans offense runs through Henry, but recently the Titans have shown they want to be a more balanced team, as Tannehill throwing four TDs last week shows.
Running Backs
Jerick McKinnon (SF) @ $4900 vs NYG
With the injury bug hitting San Fran badly, McKinnon stands as one of two healthy running backs for them. He is set to start and his form so far this season leaves me to believe that he will be the most used running back this Sunday. He is averaging 13 DKFpts per game this year and this Sunday’s game will be the first one in which he is considered the feature back, look for that average to go up quite some. Sign me up for a starting running back at 4900 against a below-average defense.
Darrell Henderson Jr. (LAR) @ $5400 vs BUF
Henderson had a great game once Akers left the game with an injury. I think that continues this week as he may see even more work because of the broken pinky to Brown. That may affect work in the air so look for Henderson to receive more passing work. This is a RB that may be a true workhorse back this Sunday. Grab him while he is still very underpriced.

Wide Receivers
Adam Humphries (TEN) @ $3900 vs MIN
Super easy play, this dude showed off last week without Brown playing. Brown is out again so look for Humphries to get his share of looks again. If it isn’t broke don’t fix it, plus this play lets you pay up elsewhere.
N’Keal Harry (NE) @ $4200 vs LV
This is one of those situations you have to monitor before kickoff at noon on Sunday. Harry has had a great start to the year and this may continue in what could be a shoot out with the Raiders. Cam has been building rapport with Harry and it shows on the field with this 13 catches on 18 targets for 111 yards so far. He would’ve also had a touchdown if not for his fumble thru the endzone out of bounds play. Harry is a regular on this offense and Cam looks his way often.
Tight Ends
Drew Sample (CIN) @ $3500 vs PHI
We have a very small sample size of what Burrow wants to do with the Tight Ends. But considering that their number 1 guy (Uzomah) is out for the season, this leaves Sample with most if not all the snaps. Last week he was targeted 9 times, that should increase as Burrow has used him as a check down type of receiver. At his price, he is a super bargain against a defense ranked 4th worse against the TE.
Jordan Reed (SF) @ $4000 vs NYG
This guy is the ultimate play at your own risk. The dude is a baller, no one can dispute that, but he is a huge injury concussion concern. With how the injury bug has hit San Fran this guy should continue to ball out. Play him at your own risk!!!
Defense
Carolina Panthers @ $2200 vs LAC
Look the Panthers aren’t a great or even a good defense, but as I have said before, it may be a good value to play a defense vs a rookie QB. And that’s exactly what we have here, Herbert looks great last week with little errors. Look for Herbert to manifest some rookie nerves and to make a few mistakes that could help the Panthers Defense score some.Â
