Week 2 of the NFL season is here, and there are plenty of opportunities to find value on the DraftKings Fantasy<\/a> main slate. This lineup blends high-volume stars, affordable upside plays, and a few lower-priced options to free up salary for the top of the roster.<\/p>\n

The lineup comes in at exactly $50,000, leaving no salary on the table. Here are my DraftKings NFL best daily fantasy picks<\/a> for Sunday\u2019s Week 2 slate.<\/p>\n

DraftKings NFL DFS Week 1 Lineup<\/p>\n

Brock Purdy ($6,200)<\/p>\n

Purdy is one of my favorite quarterback values on the Week 2 slate at $6,200. San Francisco opened the season with a convincing 27-7 win over the Rams, and Purdy threw three touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

Now he gets a Miami defense that allowed 27 points to Las Vegas in Week 1. The Dolphins also gave up plenty of offensive production in their 27-13 loss to the Raiders.<\/p>\n

Purdy\u2019s $6,200 salary is especially appealing because the DraftKings lineup doesn\u2019t need him to be the slate\u2019s highest-scoring quarterback. With San Francisco playing at home and the 49ers coming off a seven-point defensive performance against the Rams, Purdy has both floor and ceiling at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n

De\u2019Von Achane ($6,700)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m willing to target Achane despite the difficult matchup against San Francisco. His biggest advantage is his receiving ability, which gives him a way to score fantasy points even if Miami struggles to run the football.<\/p>\n

At $6,700, Achane is priced below the most expensive running backs despite possessing legitimate slate-breaking speed. He also has a 20.9 FPPG figure shown in the pool, making him one of the higher-upside options at his salary.<\/p>\n

Ashton Jeanty ($6,800)<\/p>\n

Jeanty is another running back I\u2019m targeting because he can rack up points in multiple ways. He enters Week 2 after the Raiders\u2019 27-13 victory over Miami, giving Las Vegas an early indication that its new-look offense can support its young running back.<\/p>\n

The matchup against the Chargers is tougher, with the DK slate listing the Chargers as the No. 4 matchup by OPRK for running backs. Still, Jeanty\u2019s expected workload makes him difficult to ignore at $6,800.<\/p>\n

Jalen Coker ($5,100)<\/p>\n

Coker is one of the most obvious value plays on this roster after his massive Week 1 performance. He caught eight of nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns against Chicago, emerging as one of Bryce Young\u2019s most productive options.<\/p>\n

Even more encouraging for DFS purposes was his usage. Coker played 84% of Carolina\u2019s offensive snaps, according to analysis after Week 1, suggesting his production wasn\u2019t simply the result of a handful of random opportunities.<\/p>\n

Emeka Egbuka ($6,400)<\/p>\n

Egbuka is another wide receiver whose Week 1 usage makes him interesting at this salary. The Tampa Bay rookie caught five passes for 63 yards on six targets in his NFL debut, leading the Buccaneers in receiving yards.<\/p>\n

At $6,400, Egbuka sits in a useful middle tier at wide receiver. His six targets in Week 1 give him a reasonable floor, while increased involvement in Tampa Bay\u2019s passing attack could give him considerably more upside.<\/p>\n

Mike Evans ($6,600)<\/p>\n

Evans had an encouraging debut with the 49ers and immediately showed why San Francisco brought him in. In the 49ers\u2019 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams, Evans caught 6 of 7 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown. He also recorded a 13-yard-long reception, giving him a solid 10.9 fantasy points from his receiving production and touchdown.<\/p>\n

The biggest takeaway from Evans\u2019 debut was his involvement in Brock Purdy\u2019s passing game. He finished with seven targets, tying for a significant role in an offense that also features Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle. Purdy ultimately threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns, with Evans scoring one of them.<\/p>\n

Now Evans gets a matchup with Miami, which makes the $6,600 salary particularly interesting. If Purdy continues to distribute the ball efficiently, Evans has a strong chance to see another healthy target total.<\/p>\n

Harold Fannin Jr. ($4,100)<\/p>\n

Fannin is the salary-saving play at tight end. Cleveland\u2019s offense struggled in Week 1, scoring just 10 points against Jacksonville, but I\u2019m willing to look past that performance at $4,100.<\/p>\n

The Browns now travel to Tampa Bay, and the player pool prices Fannin at $4,100, making him one of the cheapest ways to get exposure to Cleveland\u2019s passing game.<\/p>\n

Rashid Shaheed ($4,300)<\/p>\n

Shaheed is another salary-saving wide receiver with big-play potential. At $4,300, he gives this lineup exposure to a player who can reach value on relatively few touches.<\/p>\n

The matchup against Arizona is listed at No. 16 in DraftKings\u2019 OPRK rankings for the position, so this isn\u2019t necessarily a smash matchup. That\u2019s reflected in his inexpensive salary.<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers DST ($3,800)<\/p>\n

The 49ers defense rounds out the lineup at $3,800, and there\u2019s plenty to like after what we saw in Week 1.<\/p>\n

San Francisco held the Rams to just seven points and 290 total yards in a 27-7 victory. The defense also stopped Matthew Stafford on a fourth-down quarterback sneak from the San Francisco 1-yard line.<\/p>\n

Now the 49ers return home to face Miami, which scored only 13 points in its Week 1 loss to Las Vegas. That gives San Francisco a path to fantasy production through sacks, turnovers, and potentially another low-scoring effort from its opponent. At $3,800, I\u2019m willing to pay a little more for the 49ers\u2019 defensive upside.<\/p>\n
