Whether you’ve played Daily Fantasy on Yahoo before or are giving it a try for the first time, this weekly column will take an early look at the DFS landscape, revealing whom I like building lineups around, stars to fade, undervalued plays and bargain bin options to help you construct a better team.<\/p>\n

Lineup building blocks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Josh Allen ($41) @ Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The top quarterbacks have been the most consistent DFS building blocks to open the season, and this week two of them go against each other in a matchup with easily the slate’s highest total (54.0 points). Allen was fantasy’s top scoring QB last week if you just counted his first half<\/em>, and Buffalo isn’t going to let up after halftime versus a Chiefs team that knocked them out of the playoffs. There’s a real chance no punts occur in this game, and KC has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Allen is somehow averaging more rushing yards and is getting 1.5 more yards per pass attempt<\/em> than last season, and you’re only fading him in this DFS matchup to be contrarian in tournaments.<\/p>\n

Rhamondre Stevenson ($26) @ Cleveland Browns<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Stevenson led all backs in snap% last week when he handled all 27 RB opportunities<\/a> after Damien Harris<\/strong> left with a hamstring injury. Other RBs will contribute in Week 6, but Stevenson will be featured again with Harris out no matter who starts at quarterback for New England. The Patriots get a Browns run defense allowing 5.3 YPC, the most EPA\/rush (0.17) by a wide margin and the third-most fantasy points to running backs. Cleveland has also averaged the fourth-most combined points<\/a> during their games this season, and Stevenson is an emerging star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marquise Brown ($24) @ Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brown has seen double-digit targets in four straight games, averaging an NFL-high 12.3 over that span (tied with Cooper Kupp<\/strong>). He should be busy again Sunday with DeAndre Hopkins<\/strong> serving the final game of his suspension and facing a Seahawks defense allowing by far an NFL-high 8.6 YPA and the second-most EPA\/pass (0.25) this season. This game has the week’s second-highest total at 51.0 points \u2014 the next highest is five points lower. Seahawks matchups are essentially tied for the second-most combined points scored in 2022.<\/p>\n
