Fanduel NFL Week 3: QBs to Target Review

Ownership % is from linestarapp.com for the "$150K Thu NFL Rush ($25K to 1st, Thu-Mon)"
PO = Projected Ownership
AO = Actual Ownership

Chalk
Cam Newton - $8100, 4.21% PO/6.2% AO - 11.28 pts
Newton struggled against the poor NO defense and also lost his #1 receiver in Kelvin Benjamin. With Benjamin and Olsen out and Newton showing regressed play since his shoulder surgery, I would hold my breath before choosing to roster him in any match up. If Cam didn't rush for a TD his fantasy points would've been been possibly the lowest for a starting QB.

Pivot
Matt Stafford - $7900, 2.96% PO/10.9% AO - 16.46 pts
Stafford's ownership was the 2nd highest for QBs during this slate compared to his projections. He entertained a fair score but it was definitely underwhelming for what could've been for Stafford. If the late game TD pass to Golden Tate want overturned, Stafford would've lived up to his value per his match up. Thankfully due to some high ownership of other QBs who had poor performances, he wasn't a 100% lineup killer.

Fade
Phillip Rivers - $7500, 5.11% PO/2.3% AO - 6.56 pts
Hopefully the fade was made in regards to Rivers because he delivered his poorest showing of the season by throwing 3 picks against the KC defense. Expect him to bounce back next week against a Philadelphia secondary that is slaughtered with injuries.

Contrarian
Trevor Siemian - $7400/3.1% AO - 9.56 pts
Well it was a contrarian pick meaning he had a tough match up but the mile high kid couldn't pull off a miracle against Buffalo. Despite some meddling injuries to the defensive side of Buffalo, Denver's offense couldn't get rolling on Sunday.

GPP
DeShaun Watson - $7000 - 4.03% PO - 22.14 pts
In what was a surprising turn of events for a lot of fans, the Texans made a close game in NE and Watson had a big part to do with it. Showing off some of his running skills from Week 2, he generated 41 yds on the ground and added 2 TDs in the air. One of the better value plays this week and an excellent GPP choice.

Sleeper
Jay Cutler - $7400/2.4% AO - 12.7 pts
In what was one of the biggest shockers of the week, the Dolphins got man handled by the lowly Jets and nothing on their offense seemed reminiscent of their Week 2 showing. If not for a garbage time TD to Davante Parker, utler would be in QB purgatory.

Bargain
DeShone Kizer - $6900/2.1% AO - 25.08 pts
Having to play catch up in a 2 TD+ game is typically always good news for a QB in fantasy leagues, meaning they will have to force some offense very fast and Kizer benefited well. He had 3 INTs on the day, but those were just smidgens of errors to his stat sheet of 2 passing TDs and 44 yds on the ground with a TD.
