DraftKings NFL Picks Week 10: Chalk, Pivots, and Punts
DraftKings NFL Picks Week 10
INITIAL THOUGHTS
This season seems to be flying by, as I can't believe we're already into the double-digit weeks in the NFL. Last week was a good week to find pivots and punts with so few highly owned pieces hitting. Dalvin Cook once again smashed the slate. Too bad I got cute before lock and decided to reduce exposure after seeing ownership projections in the 30 percent range. However, pivoting off Cook did get me to Tyreek in a couple of builds, and Hill was the top-scoring WR on the slate at low ownership. I was heavy on CMC (35%) which helped but I was also heavy on Justin Jackson (35%) which hurt. This week has a lot of good spots to attack. The Packers should over-power the Jags defense, Nick Chubb should be back on the field to face the Texans league-worst run defense. The Bills and Cardinals should put up plenty of points but will there be "must-have" fantasy scores? There are some other, lower-key spots to look at as well. The Broncos/Raiders, Seahawks/Rams, Bengals/Steelers, and Chargers/Dolphins all caught my eye for some of the other games that may not be heavily game-stacked. With Dalvin off the main slate, we're going to want to keep an eye on McCaffrey's health after he left work early with a shoulder injury last week (Update: CMC is doubtful as of print). Overall, I have some ideas after looking at the matchups but, as always, I want to go through each game and see what sticks.
Below is the chart of which players I am considering as Good Chalk, Pivot plays, and salary saving Punts.
