Myth vs. Reality

Every week we’ll take a look at things that the fantasy community is stating is a fact to see if it’s more of a myth. This week I have assembled 16 takes, all from different corners of the Internet. Most of these takes came from this Twitter thread, but I also used some from friends and family to fill in the gaps. So, now that I have them, we’re going to decide what’s a myth and what’s actually pretty close to reality.

Player Props: Week 2

I’ll be looking at three player props that I think have a strong chance of paying out. This article will run the gamut and will include bets such as passing yard totals, the first player to score, and even total tackles for those who love Defense. Betting lines were provided by DraftKings Sportsbook. Deposit $20 into DraftKings today and receive not only a FREE DFF Membership but also $10 in extra DraftKings credit! It’s a no brainer! With that, let’s get started! A Brief Recap of Week One. We opened up the season 2-1 after crushing the over on Jerome Baker’s total tackles and Josh Allen’s passing yard totals. Jerome Baker had nine total tackles against a run-heavy Baltimore offense that feasted on an inept Miami team. Meanwhile, Josh Allen passed for 254 yards as he led his team in a comeback effort against the Jets. Unfortunately, our last bet of Geoff Swaim scoring did not end on such a positive note. While I’d love to use the Nick Foles injury as an excuse, the fact of the matter is Swaim was out-targeted by James O’Shaughnessy 5-4 and was targeted only once in the red zone. It seems as though O’Shaughnessy may be the tight end to target moving forward. Regardless, 2-1 is certainly a win by any standard! Let’s get on to this week’s picks!

Let’s jump right into this week’s group.

DraftKings: Main Slate GPP Tournament Plays for Week 2

Lamar Jackson ($6,700)
Unsurprisingly, DraftKings has jumped the price tag up on Jackson this week, but I think we could be in for another 30+ fantasy day against Arizona. The Cardinals secondary looked awful at Detroit on Sunday, getting shredded by Matthew Stafford for 385 yards and three touchdowns, making it clear the absence of Patrick Peterson is going to be a huge issue. Clearly they tried to try to mask some of that concern by blitzing the, which led to Stafford seeing pressure on a Week 1 high 47.1% of his dropbacks. That’s not going to work against Lamar Jackson.
