NFL DFS Week 3 Picks: Bargain Buys and Spend-Up Studs

Are you looking to submit some NFL DFS lineups for this weekend? Here are players at every salary level that could help you win in cash or GPP contests.

NFL DFS Top-Tier Plays

Quarterbacks

Josh Allen has the second-most DFS points among quarterbacks, and he'd likely have even more if he didn't embarrass the Titans so badly on MNF that Case Keenum took over so the Bills could protect their superstar. This week he faces Miami in a divisional matchup, and the Dolphins have surrendered the second-most DFS points to opposing QBs. The spend-up should be worth it.

Jalen Hurts is a versatile and dynamic playmaker that racks up points with his legs and through the air. He has the third-most DFS points among quarterbacks, and he gets a Commanders team that has surrendered the 11th-most passing yards and the sixth-most rushing yards in 2022. It's a revenge game narrative and a divisional matchup. I like both quarterbacks in this game with the third-highest implied points total this week on SISB, but Hurts is the only one where you'll have to spend a pretty penny.

Running Backs

Dalvin Cook was nowhere to be found on Monday Night Football, but that should change this week vs. a Lions defense that has surrendered the second-most points to opposing running backs. His disappearance on Monday could work in your favor, as people may pivot away from the star RB.

Leonard Fournette promised us more touchdowns, and I believe him. Why? Because he got chippy on Sunday, he's not fat Lenny anymore, and Tom Brady will be down some of his favorite weapons. The Packers have allowed 6.09 yards per carry and got beat up by David Montgomery last week.
