Week 3 was hit and miss for last week's lineups on FanDuel, and I am looking at you Derek Carr. We did have Kareem Hunt, Stefon Diggs, Rishard Matthews, Tyreek Hill, and A.J. Green. Week 4 sets up us with a few optimal matchups to target. We get the Sunday Night Football game on FanDuel, so Seattle is very much in play against this Indy offense, and the optimizer knows it.
Russell Wilson finally looked like Russell Wilson last week, as the offensive line held up enough to give him some time. Seattle have a top five implied total this week, and rolling a naked Wilson isn't a bad idea for below $8,000. Indy ranks 18th in DVOA against the pass this season, but we know are much worse in a longer sample size.
The running backs here are a good combo. It isn't surprising to see Joe Mixon here below $6,000. He saw 21 touches this week, and are touchdown favorites against the Browns. Ezekiel Elliot is also a touchdown favorite at home against the Rams, who have struggled against the run this season.
This is one hell of a wide receiver combo, but when you are paying $5,600 for a running back, you are going to have some salary left over. This is a good spot for all three, who are in my top WR/CB Matchups this week. All three struggle against WR1s, especially elite ones.
Charles Clay has seen 19 targets over the first three weeks, and has found the end zone twice. Clay is still reasonably priced on FanDuel, and with a lack of options at tight end this week, Clay is playable in all formats.
