The Week 2 NFL DFS action kicks off with a Thursday Night Football clash of two NFC East foes. The Washington Football Team hosts the New York Giants as both teams try to bounce back from season-opening defeats. This may not be anyones idea of a must-see sporting event, but given the stakes, its fairly important in real life, so we're bringing that same intensity to our FanDuel single-game lineup picks.
Its no secret that this game projects to be a low-scoring affair. Vegas sportsbooks opened this matchup with totals
Jandel Gustave Jersey as low as 41 with Washington favored by as many as four points. We dont mind calling upon some WFT skill players, but were going to avoid trying to identify which Giant might have a big night.

A quick refresher of the rules for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the "MVP" is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn't any additional money like the "Captain" in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel's default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point pa sing
Austin Slater Jersey TDs, and there arenobonuses for 100/300-yard games like on DraftKings.

FanDuel Single-Game DFS Picks: Giants vs. Washington Football Team
$60,000 budget, need at least one player from each team
MVP
Will Smith Jersey (1.5x points): RB Antonio Gibson, Washington ($12,500)
Gibson is locked into our MVP slot simply because hes best situated to lead the slate in points. If last weeks usage (20 carries, 5 targets) continues -- and theres little-to-no reason it shouldnt -- Gibson will be busy and productive.
WEEK 2 FANTASY: | |
FLEX: QB Daniel Jones, Giants ($15,000)
The Giants have a lot of weapons on paper, but this offense just hasnt clicked with any degree of consistency. Saquon Barkley ($14,000) does not appear as if hell be ready to resume his role as bell cow, so more responsibility will be in the hands -- and on the legs -- of Jones. Well bet on him accounting for a good portion of whatever offense the Giants muster.
WEEK 2 DFS LINEUPS: | |
FLEX: QB Taylor Heinicke, Washington($14,500)
We
Mike Gerber Jersey certainly like more individual skill position players from the Football Team than the Giants, but we also like the idea of covering our bases with both quarterbacks. Like his counterpart, Heinicke can run a little bit and will be supported by a solid collection of weapons. With scoring projected to be at a premium, we want to connect ourselves to those who will have the most opportunity to collect fantasy points.
MORE WEEK 2 DFS:||
FLEX: WR Terry
Gaylord Perry Jersey McLaurin, Washington ($12,000)
McLaurin received just four targets last week, but the Football Team attempted just 21 pa ses. Were not going to see WFT adopt the Air Raid, but McLaurin totaled 14 catches, 189 yards and a TD on 20 targets in
Bruce Bochy Jersey two games against the Giants in 2020. Hes always a threat to garner 10-plus looks and deliver a big fantasy performance.
FLEX: WR Dyami Brown, Washington ($5,500)
Browns debut stat line is quite forgettable (one catch, negative two yards), but he operated as the clear No. 2 behind McLaurin. Brown played 93 percent of the snaps and tied his teammate with four targets. Were not banking on a scintillating performance, but if he can take greater advantage of his opportunity, we could be in the green.
