Week 9 FanDuel NFL Tournament Pivots

Wide Receiver

Chalk

DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller are both rosterable against the Colts, even with Tom Savage at quarterback. However, their ownership numbers will obviously take a major hit. Both could actually be considered pivots, as people will flee in droves away from the Houston offense despite being in such a great matchup.

With their situation in limbo, it's looking like there will be a strong push for more people to use Dez Bryant. He will likely be the focal point of the Dallas offense against a Kansas City Chiefs team that is giving up the most FanDuel points per game to opposing wideouts. Michael Thomas should have a field day as the Saints take on the porous Tampa Bay Buccaneers passing defense.

Pivots

DeSean Jackson, $6,200 (at New Orleans Saints)

DeSean Jackson has not been a safe DFS play this season. He has only hit two-times value twice on FanDuel, a record that does not lend itself towards cash games. However, he's appealing this week in a stack with Winston in tournaments.

This game has the feeling of Week 6 when the Saints faced the Lions. In that game, the Saints got out to a huge lead, forcing the Lions had to pass nonstop to try and catch up. As a result, both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones each had 96 yards and a score. This week, New Orleans is favored by seven points in a game expected to see 51.5 points. We could easily see a game script similar to the Lions game, which would bode well for Jackson's upside.

He isn't seeing a lot of love in the press this week, either. He's the 25th-most tagged receiver in articles, according to FanShare. It's clear to say, he's not going to be highly owned. With big upside in a potential shootout, Jackson has pivot written all over him.
