Welcome back to another week of NFP's DFS Corner. Best of luck to all those participating in their season long fantasy playoffs this weekend. I hope everyone cashed in last week using my recommendations, other than TY Hilton and Alshon Jeffrey, who failed to live up to value in great matchups. Last week was an extremely high scoring week where 190 plus points couldn't even guarantee you a victory in cash games. I think we should see less high scores among the chalk plays and things get back to normal this week.

Quarterback Plays Russell Wilson ($6,300) @ Baltimore Ravens: Wilson and the Seahawks have been on an absolute tear as of late. Wilson outperformed expectations last week versus a very solid Vikings' defense. Wilson finished the day with 274 passing yards and 3 touchdowns, which was good for 34.06 fantasy points. Over the last 3 games, he has DK scores of 34.06, 38.20, and 25.40. The Ravens are giving up the 10th most points to opposing QB's (19.77 pts/per game), so Wilson presents a high floor. He will likely be one of the chalk plays of the week, and the only thing to be cautious of is the weather, as there is an 82% chance of rain as of now. Blake Bortles ($6,000) vs. Indianapolis Colts: Bortles is coming off of a 5 touchdown, 322 passing yard explosion versus the Titans last week. His past 2 DK performances have scores of 35.78 and 26.46. This week, he gets to face a Colts' defense that was just picked apart by Pittsburgh the other night. Furthermore, the Colts are giving up the 8th most points to opposing QBs (20.46 pts/per game). I expect another big game from Bortles this week in what could be another close and high scoring game. Tyrod Taylor ($5,400) @ Philadelphia Eagles: Tyrod Taylor is coming off back to back 3 touchdown, 0 interception games where he achieved scores of 29.24 and 27.24. This week, he gets to face an Eagles' defense that is giving up the 2nd most points to opposing QBs (22.67 pts/per game). Most people will be on Shady for the "revenge" game, so Taylor makes a nice pivot from that and presents a high enough floor and high upside to be used in all formats.

My best performing lineup from last week My best performing lineup from last week

of the reasons I mentioned above for B Marsh apply to Decker who finally saw a little bump in his salary. Decker has been one of the most consistent fantasy players all year, he's a TD machine, and he is averaging 21 points per game. He provides a high floor with upside. Jarvis Landry ($6,300) vs. New York Giants: Landry had a huge dud last week, but it was due to more to the fact that Miami didn't run that many plays, and when they did, most of them were runs. I expect them to get back to a more balanced approach this week versus a porous Giants defense. While Parker and Stills will be covered by DRC and Prince Amukamara, Landry will have the benefit of facing struggling Nickel Corner Trevin Wade. The Giants are giving up  the 6th most points to opposing WR's (40.14 pts/per game).  Landry is 6th in receptions this year, so I expect him to bounce back and provide another high floor in what could turn into a shootout. Sammy Watkins ($6,100) @ Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles give up the most points to opposing WRs (44.08 pts/per game), Byron Maxwell has been abused this year and rookie Eric Rowe is still untested. Watkins should be in store for a big game and makes a great stack with Taylor and a nice pivot from McCoy. He presents great upside, so he is a great tournament play, but his inconsistent targets could make him a riskier cash game play. Martavis Bryant ($5,700) @ Cincinnati Bengals: Everything I mentioned about Antonio Brown applies to Bryant. He should be facing Dre Kirkpatrick, who has struggled this year and Bryant has PFF 7th best WR/CB matchup for the week. He is a great stack with Big Ben and can be played in both formats. Allen Hurns ($5,500) vs Indianapolis Colts: Hurns sat out this past week but is cleared to play this week after clearing concussion protocol. Hurns should face off against one of PFF worst rated corner backs in Greg Toler. According to PFF WR/CB matchup tool, Hurns has the 3rd best matchup on the weekend. Furthermore, when these two teams met earlier in the year, Hurns exploded for 31.60 points catching 11 passes, 116 yards and 1 touchdown. He makes an excellent stack with Bortles and a good pivot away from Allen Robinson this week. Oh, and the Colts give up the 4th most points to opposing wide receivers (41.45 pts/per game). Danny Amendola ($5,200) @ Houston Texans: The Texans have fared very well against opposing teams #1 WR's, but I don't think this applies to Amendola this week. This one is simple. The Patriots are without a lot of main options and Amendola is a target machine that is still being offered at a great price. In the two games he has started this year, he has scores of 20.64 and 23.70. Doug Baldwin ($4,800) @ Baltimore Ravens: Baldwin leads the NFL in yards and touchdowns over the past 4 weeks and is still only $4,800 facing a Ravens defense that gives up the 5th most points to opposing WRs (40.20 pts/per game). Tight End Options Delanie Walker ($5,600) @ New York Jets: Matchup is not great, but Walker is one of the most consistent tight ends on a weekly basis and a favorite target of Marcus Mariota. He has gone over 90 yards in the past 3 games while averaging 10 targets a game over that stretch. Consistency at the tight end position is hard to come by, so if you are paying up for Tight End, Walker is your guy. Scott Chandler ($3,800) @ Houston Texans:  Despite seeing a $1,300 increase in salary, Chandler remains a great value play as long as Gronk is out. He should see roughly 6-8 targets and be looked at in the red zone yet again. He has scored in 3 of the past 4 weeks and Brady will rely on him again in this one. Austin Seferian-Jenkins ($2,700) vs New Orleans Saints:  The ultimate upside play for tight end this week, ASJ returned to action last week for the first time since Week 2. Despite only playing 19 snaps, ASJ still received 7 targets. Winston looks for him often and the Saints give up the most points to opposing tight ends (20.01 pts/per game). Defenses to Target Seattle Seahawks ($3,500) @ Baltimore Ravens Kansas City Chiefs ($3,200) vs. San Diego Best of luck again this weekend, if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment below or shoot me a message on Twitter @mikefreas1706
