FanDuel & DraftKings Week 2 NFL DFS Picks and Plays for GPP Tournament Contests.
FanDuel & DraftKings GPP Lineup Picks, Strategy & Advice for Week 2 NFL DFS Contests (9/17 – 9/21).
Let’s take a few minutes to highlight GPP targets on FanDuel and DraftKings DFS platforms:
Welcome to our GPP post! We here at Moxyball want to do our best to give you advice that could get you to the top of the rankings in those BIG tourneys every week.
We will be discussing different strategies and methods of attacking throughout the season to keep things fresh and exciting and possibly winning the big one we are all striving for. We will be following the lead that Vegas odds set out, as the house wins more than it loses.
So while playing GPPs, we should expect more losses than playing 50/50s and double ups, but will have better payouts when we do hit it big.
Our suggestion is to keep the GPP play to a minimal transaction limit to ensure minimal losses to the bankroll. In other words, don’t go crazy and refer to playing it safe in cash games with the majority of your investments.
Each week Matt and I will share our choices not only for bragging rights, but to give our readers perspectives from multiple angles.
Let’s get right into it.
Key Vegas Insights
The biggest favorites for the week is the New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay.
The lowest money line is Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers.
My take on these numbers are that for scoring purposes New Orleans has the best odds and I want to make my selections from this matchup, especially being that both teams don’t have much of a defense. Other teams I like are Baltimore, Indianapolis and St. Louis.

Marcel’s Notes:
Strategy – My strategy this week is going to be the same as it is throughout most of the season, I am finding the absolute best value play at the QB position so I can afford to play the better options at the WR and RB spots as they get 6 points for the TD where as QB’s only get 4 points. My goal is for the bulk of positions being WR & RB to get the most points in my lineup, and that’s where I want to make the best value for my money. Let me explain below.
QB – Nick Foles just went out and beat the Seattle Seahawks one of the leagues arguably best defenses and threw for 297 yards and a TD. My favorite QB Aaron Rodgers couldn’t even throw for that amount of yards on his first game against Seattle last year. I also think Foles is a much better QB than Ryan Tannehill is and destroys Washington in this bout. Playing Foles may just win you the Sunday Million! I like him that much this week.
QB – Ryan Fitzpatrick holy cow blew up the Browns winning 31 to 10 with two touchdowns to Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker. This week he is facing the Colts and if you can see what the rookie from Buffalo did I can’t wait to see this contrarian play. Fitzy has two great receivers a great running back in Chris Ivory and the Jets D I think also keeps this game from being a blowout which keeps the confidence level on a high throughout this game.
WR Note: My WR choices are all targeted by top 10 QB’s.
WR – Donte Moncrief is looking like my sneaky play this week. As I mentioned above about how good the Jets D is I’m not sure if they can totally contain an upset Andrew Luck. While one of the two good defensive backs are out they still have Darel Revis, and since T.Y. seems to maybe be out Andre Johnson should be stuck on Revis Island. All this leads to the second year WR to step up and make some plays, especially since the run game is next to nothing, someone get Frank Gore a walker.
WR – Terrance Williams is going to be the next Dez Bryant just maybe not with as much flare. While out with a broken foot, Terrance caught 5 passes on 9 targets but one was called back as interference. He noticed a considerable uptick in the final two drives. He has a great QB in Tony Romo and the great QB’s find ways to get it done, and as always someone always has to step up, and that’s what I think Terrance will do week 2.
RB – Marshawn Lynch is going to go full beast mode in Green Bay just as Matt Forte did but Marshawn is younger and a better rusher. Green Bay will be worried about Jimmy Graham and Russell’s legs so Marshawn will continue to gouge the Packers until they bleed. I don’t mind paying up for him as you want a little security in your big tourney.
RB – Adrian Peterson is facing the Detroit Lions and if you noticed how San Diego gashed Detroit with Danny Woodhead and Melvin Gordon can you imagine what AP can do? Teddy will have a game under his belt and have great WR’s around him to keep the D honest, not to mention the D had their best guy go to Miami.
TE – Martellus Bennett is facing the Cardinals and caught all SEVEN of his targets, and I think he ends up seeing even more looks if the Cards can contain Matt Forte and the horrid Jay Cutler. Martellus looks to be the new Julius Thomas with new head coach John Fox.
TE – Jordan Reed is Kirk Cousins new best friend (Sorry RGIII). The Rams that they are facing may keep the long game in check as they did with the Seahawks. Not to mention the team high 11 targets could be a norm going forward as long as DeSean Jackson is out with a hammy injury.
Here’s to a great Week 2 on FanDuel & DraftKings. Hopefully a few of the above help you build a great GPP lineup!
