Week 2 Fanduel DFS Plays of the Week

DraftHustle’s Top DFS Plays of the week for FanDuel

QB

Dak Prescott – DAL, $8,000 – vs Commanders

The Dallas Cowboys were embarrassed by the New York Giants in week 1, and will be looking to bounce back in this great matchup against the Washington Commanders.  Dak Prescott will look to improve upon his mediocre week 1 performance passing for less than 200 yards in week 1.  Dallas has the second highest Vegas implied team total (27) in the game with the highest O/U (50.5) so points will be plentiful. Play Dak with confidence. 

RB

Derrick Henry – BAL, $8,700 – vs Saints

Derrick Henry is defying all odds in terms of age and the RB position in the NFL.  He is coming off a strong week 1, putting up 163 total yards and 3 TDs against the Colts.  He gets another amazing matchup in wee k2 against the New Orleans Saints, who were torched by the Jahmyr Gibbs in week 1.  Baltimore are the second biggest favorites on the slate (-8.5), and Zay Flowers is out, so expect Henry to get plenty of work and put up plenty of fantasy points. 

WR

Justin Jefferson – MIN, $8,600 – vs Bears

Justin Jefferson appeared to be back to his pre-JJ McCarthy elite self in week 1 putting up a 8 catch, 92 yard, 2 TD performance, even after the brutal Kyler Murray injury.  Jefferson should continue his stellar play in week against a bad Chicago Bears defense who gave up 37 points to the Carolina Panthers in week 1.  The Vikings are 4.5 points underdogs in what could be a high scoring matchup, and Jefferson in poised to have another phenomenal fantasy performance.

TE

Hunter Henry – NE, $5,000 – vs Steelers

A.J. Brown is out for at least the next 5 weeks with an ankle injury, so the Patriots will need receiving options to fill the void, and I am on Hunter Henry in week 2 getting a huge jump in opportunity.  He only received 3 targets in week 1, but he gets a much better matchup this week against the short-handed Pittsburgh Steelers secondary who will be without Joey Porter and Minkah Fitzpatrick.  At a $5,000 salary, Hunter Henry is my top TE value play on the week 2 slate.

DST

Philadelphia Eagles - $4,900 – vs Titans

We are straying away from targeting the Browns offense with our D/ST in week 2 for what I believe is a strong pivot play in the Philadelphia Eagles.  They were solid in week 1, but I expect a much better performance in week 2 against the awful Tennessee Titans.  The Titans got smacked around by the Jets defense, and I expect a similar beat down from the Eagles defense.  Philly is favored by 7 in the only game with an O/U less than 40 points (39.5), so we are expecting Philly to be a strong play his week.
