COVID is hitting the NFL harder than it has in any other week this season. This is going to make for a lot of value plays on this slate. Another thing making this slate complicated is we do not have many high-priced options to sift through. The most expensive running back on DraftKings is Najee Harris ($7800). The only true pay-up options are Cooper Kupp ($9000) and Davante Adams ($7900).
We also do not have very many games that look great from a stacking perspective. So we are going to have to get creative this week, and consider all the factors that are making this slate unique.
As always in this space, I will recommend the stacks I like the best and what constructions make the most sense. I put most of my money each week into very small field tournaments (500 people or fewer). I prefer these types of contests because it is not necessary to get all parts of the lineup right. In these small fields, you may only need to get one or two things right to give yourself a chance to get to the top.
