8 DraftKings Bargains for Week 3

Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals

DraftKings Price: $5,100

Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind. Andy Dalton, by any metric, has been a terrible football player through two weeks of the season. It's fair to say that he had two tough matchups, though, as the Ravens and Texans are both good defenses.

This week offers a chance for redemption. The Cincinnati Bengals have installed a new offensive coordinator and head into a more manageable matchup this week against the Green Bay Packers. Vegas has the game down as a relatively easy win for the Pack, which could work out well for Dalton's fantasy potential, slinging the ball as the Bengals try to claw their way back from an early deficit. Seeking out garbage time points like this isn't a strategy I often use, but have you watched Blake Bortles over the past couple of seasons?

We have Dalton pegged for 16.5 fantasy points this week, which would be a return of over three times value. While you couldn't pay me to use him in head-to-head matchups, there is potential upside for Dalton as a deep tournament play, especially if you were to stack him with A.J. Green.
