Week 3 DraftKings GPP Picks Spotlight Josh Allen at $8,000 and Bengals Stacks Below 10% Ownership

3 articles · Updated · The Fantasy Footballers · Sep 25

Summary

  • $8,000 Josh Allen headlines the Week 3 DraftKings GPP recommendations, with the analyst citing Buffalo’s NFL-best 38.5 points per game, the Chargers’ No. 29 pass defense and Allen’s nine total touchdowns.
  • Sub-5% Lamar Jackson and 1.72%-owned Joe Burrow are pitched as lower-rostered quarterback pivots, with Burrow specifically tied to Bengals double stacks built around Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown.
  • At running back and receiver, the list leans on volume and leverage: Jonathan Taylor has 50 touches and four rushing TDs, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 17-277-4 start and single-digit Chase ownership stand out.
  • Trey McBride at $6,700 and Harold Fannin Jr. at $4,000 anchor the tight end pool, while Lions and Vikings defenses are recommended as volatile sack-and-turnover plays rather than safer chalk options.
  • The article also revisits Week 2 results, where a 232.38-point Milly Maker winner used 96.81% combined ownership; after a 23.33% season hit rate by its old 3x rule, the analyst says future reviews will focus on lineup ROI.
