Let’s run through a few players to consider at each position as you’re putting together your lineups.
Quarterbacks
Joe Burrow (LSU): $8,700 DraftKings; $10,800 FanDuel
This is a week to build around a top quarterback, and backing a Heisman contender in a game with the highest total on the slate seems like a wise move.
Burrow ranks fifth amongst all passers in Independent Quarterback Rating (IQR), and second in (A) on-target throw rate (89.5%); (B) yards per attempt (12.3); and (C) Air Yards (966).
He has averaged 1.02 fantasy points on DraftKings for each run or pass attempt, scoring between 31-41 fantasy points in each of his four contests.
LSU has an implied team total of nearly 50 points, and Burrow will look to pad his stats further against a Utah State defense that allowed 401 passing yards to Wake Forest in Week 1.
