# NBA Fantasy Basketball # Freeroll Contest # draftkings $3000

Each week, we’ll review the previous week’s plays and track our success rate for both cash game plays and tournament plays. Only two states, Kansas and Maryland, have definitively authorized these games.

However, this will be a weird week.

Heading into Week 9 there are six teams on a bye and plenty of backups stepping in for their banged-up counterparts. With the injury destruction last week, people will absolutely be shy to roster “injury-prone” players or players already on the injury report this week. However, Antonio Gates is just a shade over one point behind him on projections, so he is certainly in play.

Of course, much of DFS’ appeal in North America lies in the lack of legal sports betting options, which are readily available throughout much of Europe. His snap percentage has been slowly climbing week after week and the coaching staff keeps talking him up. He’s a steal at this price on this short slate that lacks high-upside players. Freeman gets more touches since he gets a lot of receiving targets in addition to his rushes.

Eli Manning – He was a DFS victor in Week 9, and we’re going back to the well this week.

The Tampa Bay Rays, for example, have a sponsorship deal with DraftKings, and the Buccaneers have one with FanDuel. This game could easily turn into a shootout in Raymond James Stadium. I now pay more attention to the nebulous terms that talking heads throw out about players. If he does this, which he should have no problem doing, he will be a great play. The Raiders offense has looked good, and is moving the ball well. I had known him a long time and did not want to be rude.

Although the industry is gearing up for legislation in up to 35 states, most state legislatures won’t come back to session until next year, when the issue might have faded. Hilton (foot) will be a game-time decision, which could be tough on owners since it’s a late start on Sunday afternoon. Thomas excels in the passing game, and, with Vernon Davis now in Denver, Blaine Gabbert is going to need a reliable check-down option.

Still, experts said it’s unlikely that fans who play the games will face any criminal charges. However, he’s in a tremendous spot in Week 9. With the Jets’ quarterback status in flux – Ryan Fitzpatrick playing with an injured thumb – the offensive playbook could lean on Ivory heavily.

That doesn’t seem necessary – our government should have more important issues to address than fantasy sports contests. Langford and Williams are now the unquestioned starters in solid offenses and Langford’s matchup this week is especially appealing against the Chargers, who give up the most fantasy points to opposing RBs. I also had a few of the other considerations hit as well in Charcandrick West, Stefon Diggs and Heath Miller.

Finally, a gentle reminder on the scoring for Tight Ends – this is a PPR site so remember that when selecting players.

The argument you can make for Cook is that he’s due, that a return to the mean is coming and that it might as well be today. The only downside to Walker is his one touchdown on the season, but at prices of $4200 on DraftKings and $5500 on FanDuel, he’s worth a flier. These two Steelers receivers work in such strong harmony, that one doesn’t have to seep production from the other.

And arguments that the game involves the skill of its participants, not chance, are looking feeble, indeed. “We don’t have right of publicity laws in Australia like they do in the US”. He’s been a steady producer, with a few blow-up games still in his arsenal. Kirk Cousins is just $6600 and should be in comeback mode for a good portion of the game.

The veteran wide receiver has recorded four touchdowns in his last four games. Secondly, the Saints stink against the pass, have allowed 30 receptions of 20-plus yards and lead the league with 10 of 40 yards or more. The Bears bleed touchdowns through the air, allowing a score on a league-leading 10.2 percent of the targets against them. And I’ll always cover Rob Gronkowski. You probably can’t swing it much, but just be aware what you are getting into if you decide “not to Gronk”. That’s right, four of my players left the game with injury! LeSean McCoy gets the Miami defense at home and will only run you $7800.

Others considered: Derek Carr, Marcus Mariota, Charles Sims, C.J. Anderson, Jamison Crowder, Stevie Johnson, Ben Watson and and Austin Seferian-Jenkins (if he plays). The full for scoring for Tight Ends is at the end of this column. They long hold a preference for heavy-footed linebackers, and injuries wiped out their safety positon to the point where Landon Collins, a rookie from Alabama, is their only regular. Putting up low-end QB1 fantasy numbers since returning from a hamstring injury, the turnover prone signal caller only has 4 INTs on the season.
