Top 10 DraftKings DFS Plays for NFL Week 10
The Patriots and Lions open Sunday in Munich, and the Bears, Broncos, Eagles and Buccaneers are on bye, which leaves a 10 game main slate on DraftKings. The game of the week is San Francisco at Dallas, with a 55.5 point total that is the highest on the board by a wide margin. Buffalo has a 29 point implied total against a Jets defense that has struggled to stop the run, and New Orleans has its highest implied total of the season at 25.5. The trade deadline also reshaped Minnesota and Indianapolis. Below are 10 plays worth building around, broken down by position.
Quarterback
Geno Smith, New York Jets, $4,800 (vs. Buffalo)
Smith is priced like a backup, and the game script should force him to throw a lot. The Jets are 8.5 point home underdogs against a Bills team that leads the league in points per game, and New York has a respectable implied total of 21.5. He has been efficient, completing 67.5 percent of his passes for 2,078 yards, 12 touchdowns and three interceptions. Without Garrett Wilson last week, he threw for just 165 yards in a 35-12 loss at Kansas City. Wilson practiced in full Friday and is questionable, but Aaron Glenn said he is "confident" Wilson will play. Buffalo's pass defense has a clear weakness. The Bills have allowed a league high 143.3 passing yards per game in the second half, and 10 of the 15 passing touchdowns they have given up have come after halftime. Buffalo has led at halftime in six of eight games, so the Jets should be throwing late.
Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints, $5,600 (vs. Carolina)
Shough has one of the best point-per-dollar projections at quarterback, and his rushing gives him a floor most cheap quarterbacks don't have. He has thrown for 1,986 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions and added 162 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Last week against Cleveland, he completed 21 of 35 passes for 265 yards, ran 10 times for 51 yards and threw the game winning touchdown to Juwan Johnson in overtime. The Saints are 2.5 point home favorites in a game with a 48.5 point total, the third highest on the slate, and their 25.5 point implied total is the highest they've had all season. Carolina allows 27.1 points per game. His receivers are also getting healthier. Chris Olave caught seven of 12 targets for 98 yards last week, and rookie Jordyn Tyson caught four passes in his NFL debut and should play a bigger role in his second game.
Running Back
Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons, $8,200 (vs. Kansas City)
