Back again with Friday Fades, as we are looking at three players who we expect to have some ownership on DraftKings in tournaments who we think can bust. Last week we safely avoided the Tom Brady and Adam Thielen busts, so let’s see who we are avoiding this week.
Jameis Winston QB Bucs $6200
Recency bias is a real thing, and after torching the Rams last week in a huge upset, the masses will be feeling good about Jameis. Unfortunately for him, Tampa heads into the Superdome down in New Orleans a difficult place to play. Coupled with the Saints playing at a slower pace with no Drew Brees, and a solid secondary with lockdown cornerback Marcus Lattimore, I could see Jameis just having an average game, but with plenty of ownership. I’d prefer Carson Wentz for $100 less.
Le’Veon Bell RB NYJ $6800
Sam Darnold has been ruled out again this week, which means the Jets will continue to be an abomination on offense. On top of that, they play the Eagles, who are extremely stout against the run. Bell is an easy avoid this week. But, once Darnold returns, he’s an obvious buy low candidate for us, so keep an eye open for next week and how far his price continues to drop. He just may be a great value in week 6.
Amari Cooper WR Dal $6800
Green Bay has quietly been a top tier defense, ranking 5th in pass defense DVOA. With Michael Gallup returning this week, the Cowboys have plenty of weapons, and don’t have to force the ball at Cooper. Cooper’s yardage total has not been big in his last few games, if the Packers can manager to keep him out of the end zone, there are plenty of other wide receivers who should be outproducing him this week.
