Navigating this week’s DraftKings Saturday main slate requires balancing high-priced elite options and bare-minimum flex plays. Solid value plays at running back and receiver down the board will let you pay up for proven, elite options at quarterback. Keep this in mind as you navigate building your lineups this week. Let’s get into…
Quarterbacks
High Priced
Kamario Taylor ($8,800), Keelon Russell ($8,600), Kevin Jennings ($8,200)
Everyone’s talking about Kamario Taylor right now and with good reason. He has an electric arm and is even better on the ground. In SEC matchups, we could see 15+ rushing attempts, which is huge given how well he runs the football. His passing has improved year over year, but could take a step back against better competition. Regardless, you don’t ignore this type of talent and upside.
Russell was flat-out not great last week against Kentucky. Luckily for him, he has Florida State up next. He should return to being a positive on the ground, and the passing game should be more productive for us. Due to his price tag, he’s best served as a direct pivot off of Taylor and his likely high ownership.
