DraftKings Pivots
QB: JALEN HURTS ($6,400 | 3.4%), PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
It’s a little surprising that Hurt’s expected rostership percentage is so low considering he has legitimate upside. As recent as Week 15 last year, Hurts notched a 40.8-point game against the Cardinals in DraftKings scoring.
This week, he sees the Atlanta Falcons, who are a mixed bag right now with several young players, as no defensive back graded above 65.9 in coverage last season. Not to mention five quarterbacks rushed for at least 30 yards against them while allowing six quarterback rushing touchdowns on the year.
Hurts is a great pivot off of Josh Allen or Kyler Murray, who have rostership percentages above 12 as of this article. Swapping to Hurts shaves $1,000-1,200 off your salary cap as well.
RB: NICK CHUBB ($7,200 | 4.8%), CLEVELAND BROWNS
