Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is my player pool that weekend for DFS.
This article series covers exactly that.
I will go through the players I am targeting as core plays for all formats and will cover tournament plays and games to target for stacks in other posts.
The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.
Week 7 DFS Content:
Our core players are the players that we will have the most exposure to in their positions.
They can be played in cash games and tournaments and are the players we are primarily building our lineups with.
I will have some analysis on the player selections and game writeups, but check out the Week 7 Worksheet for a fully detailed breakdown of the players and games.
Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes ($8,300 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel)
If you can pay up, Mahomes stands out on this particular slate with Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts on Sunday Night Football.
The Chargers have allowed the highest-scoring quarterback twice through five games to Tua Tagovailoa and Dak Prescott and have allowed another top-five scoring week to Kirk Cousins.
Mahomes has averaged 24.3 fantasy points per game over his four matchups with the Chargers since Brandon Staley has been there, throwing multiple passing touchdowns in all four games, including at least three passing touchdowns in three of those games.
