MNF match up with a TON of speed, dynamic players, and value plays to be had. Currently 1-0 with our single slate DFS articles, let’s keep that momentum up for this final week 8 match up.
There are a ton of routes we can go in this match up. The explosive offense in the Chiefs and the big play ability from specific Giants players, which will leave this slate wide open. It is going to come down to finding that value player with significant upside with minimal usage. Lets find that value:
(per Fanduel, adjust accordingly for your platform)
MVP: A player I like that will consistently get high volume targets is Travis Kelce. Chiefs will move the ball and he is a massive red zone target. If he can get his 10-12 targets combined with a couple touchdowns it may be just what we need to put ourselves in position for a big night. There are so many stars in this game and you have to think Mahomes, Hill, and Jones will have a higher MVP usage rate than Kelce. It is key to set us apart from the Masses. Kelce as our MVP @ $13,500.
First two flex spots: Both Mahomes and Daniel Jones are in play in my first two flex spots. Mahomes is pricey, but if we are relying on Kelce for a big night we should also stack the Qb getting him the ball. Jones is a playmaker for the Giants. Kc defense is weak and he will not only put up numbers with his arm, but his mobile ability is there (as long as he isn’t tripping over his own feet) as well. Mahomes flex @ $17,000 and Jones flex @ $15,000
Last two flex spots: I am hoping for an aerial attack in this match up and a Wr I like with big play potential is Darius Slayton @ $9,000. The Giants are thin at Wr and Slayton had 9 targets last week against the Panthers. I am looking for that high volume to continue with a lower price tag player. This leaves us with $5,500 left to spend and our ultimate huge risk/huge reward value play is Josh Gordon. Yes, I am aware he has only had two targets in his last two games. However, he has the potential to break that one big play to put us over the top. Combine that with a low usage percentage among the field this play could set us up to be in the cash.
