My Week Four Draft Kings Lineup
It that’s time of the week where we fire up the Draft Kings app on our phone and look at the player values that they have listed for week four. We know a lot more about players and their situations than what we did a couple of weeks ago. The added information aids in our decision-making process and makes crafting our lineup a little easier.

Lets take a look at my line up for the week.
Quarterback
Derek Carr, QB Oakland Raiders vs. Chicago Bears ($5,300)
The Bears defense is struggling defending the pass. Carr has thrown for 726 yards on the season. What makes Carr appealing for this week is his price point. His low-cost allows you to spend more of your budget on other parts of your roster. Due to his match up the odds of him busting this week is highly unlikely.
Running Back
Karlos Williams, RB Buffalo Bills vs. New York Giants ($3,400)
Buffalo ranks first in the league in rushing. The mobility of quarterback Tyrod Taylor will open rushing lanes for Williams. The Giants defense is second in the league in allowed rushing yards ( 224). Running back LeSean McCoy was out last week due to a hamstring injury. Even if McCoy plays this week, Williams will receive an increased workload. He is dirt cheap. You wont be out much if he delivers minimal results for you lineup. He also has the upside to increase your chances in winning large tournaments.
Lance Dunbar, RB Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints ($3,600)
Last week Brandon Weeden frequently looked for Dunbar as the check down option. He led the team with ten targets, catching ten receptions for 100 yards. This is a match-up where Dallas is going to have to throw the ball in order to keep up with New Orleans’ offense. Dunbar should have another game where he’s highly targeted.
Wide Receiver
Randall Cobb, WR Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers ($7,400)
Cobb is a high floor-high ceiling type of player. He’s highly like to deliver a return on your investment, because he’s safe and he’s not going to bust. The 49ers are ranked twenty-seventh against the pass. Aaron Rodgers is going to find mismatches in the defense, and Cobb is going to be his go-to guy.
Amari Cooper, WR Oakland Raiders vs. Chicago Bears ($6,300)
He has a great match up. He is Carr’s favorite target. His floor is very high because of the volume of targets that he will receive and he has the upside of some of the top wide receivers.
Jordan Matthews, WR Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins ($6,600)
He’s the most targeted receiver in Philadelphia’s passing game and Washington has difficulties defending the pass. He’s a safe option at his price point, because we know he will be targeted. His upside is as high as any receiver in the league this week due to the large amount of targets that he is projected to get.
Tight End
Kyle Rudolph, TE Minnesota Vikings vs. Denver Broncos ($3,200)
Rudolph has been targeted 18 times during the first three weeks of the season. His price tag is low. He consistently gets targets enough targets to make him a safe play with upside.
Flex
Julio Jones, WR Atlanta Falcons vs. Houston Texans ($9,300)
I’m putting Jones in every lineup until he proves me wrong. Currently, he’s the most productive wide receiver in the NFL. I’m more than comfortable paying the $9,300 price tag to acquire him.
Defense
Arizona vs. St. Louis Rams ($3,400)
Arizona is one of the top defenses in the league. The Rams offense isn’t prolific, and I think the Cardinals defense will be very successful against them.
