For Week 3 DFS GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, we’ve got a mix of top plays and sleeper picks to help you crush the slate. Whether it’s Lamar Jackson running wild or finding value at running back, these picks will give you the edge. Let’s jump into the best quarterback options.

The Ravens are 0-2 and they need Lamar to do Lamar things. He needs to run the ball as he is their best playmaker when he is running around. I think he scores his first rushing touchdown on his way to 30 points. The DFS Hero Optimizer agrees as he is projected to lead all quarterbacks in scoring.

Murray was well on his way to scoring 30 points last week, but the Cardinals pumped the breaks with the big lead. This week, the Cards take on the Lions in what could be a shoot-out. It’s the highest-totaled game on the slate. I expect Murray to be running around creating plays downfield. The Lions are difficult to run against, so expect Murray to have close to 40 passing attempts.

Carr has averaged 22 fantasy points per game, and it would be a lot more, but the Saints have blown out their opponents not needing to pass in the second half. The Saint offense has too many weapons not to move the ball against a weak Eagle defense. Look for Carr to get the ball to his receivers, Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and RB Alvin Kamara. I think he scores over 20 points, which makes him one of the best values on the slate.

Darnold scored 20.9 fantasy points vs. the 49ers and has a chance to pass that in a game that I think shoots out. His pass protection has been excellent, and when he has time, he has been deadly.

There is a lot of chatter about the Saints and their offense, but I think the Eagles try to keep them off the field. The Eagles’ offensive line could blow the aging Saints’ defensive line off the ball. Barkley averages 26 touches, and volume is king.

The Eagles have been gashed by running backs, and Kamara crushed the slate last week. His versatility and role in this offense make him a slate-breaking back like he was last week.

Achane could easily see 20-plus touches. He can score from anywhere on the field and is good for at least 5 catches. The DFS Hero Optimizer projects him to lead all back in scoring.

Mason has a tasty matchup vs. the Rams. Look for 25 plus touches and 25 plus fantasy points.

I think this is a big bounce-back week for Charbonnet. Miami gave up big chunk plays to RB James Cook last week, and Charbonnet can do the same.

The Colts are absolutely awful at stopping the run. The Bears need to take the pressure off QB Calab Williams. They need to give Swift 20-plus touches, and it would be criminal if they didn’t.

Akers is going to get the start, and he is almost a lock-button play. The Vikings give up yards to backs, and if Akers scores, he will win the slate.

Jefferson is going to play despite the quad bruise. He can score from anywhere on the field as evidenced last week with a 97-yard TD vs. the 49ers. The DFS Hero Optimizer projects him to only have 6% ownership. He should score 20 points minimum and is the DFS Hero Optimizer top projected scoring receiver.

Aiyuk should command many targets with WR Deebo Samuel out and TE George Kittle doubtful. Where else is the ball going to go? He will be popular, but the DFS Hero Optimizer has him projected as the fourth highest-scoring receiver on the slate.

Williams is severely underpriced for this matchup. He is almost 3K cheaper than his teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown. He can score from anywhere on the field, and I can’t ignore his 20 touches.

Johnson is playable now that Andy Dalton is the starting quarterback. I expect the Panthers to play from behind, so he could see double-digit targets. He is a top-three receiver value play on DFS Hero.

Jennings will be on the field and should see targets with all the offensive injuries the 49ers have. The DFS Hero Optimizer projects Aiyuk as the second-highest receiver value play.

McBride is in a good spot against the Lions in what should be a high-scoring game. The Lions will try to take WR Marvin Harrison out of the game with extra coverage, leaving the middle for McBride to clean up. As mentioned, I think Murray will be throwing early and often, so I am expecting the volume to be there. The DFS Hero Optimizer projects McBride to lead tight ends in scoring.

Bowers may be this year’s Sam LaPorta. I think the Raiders make an effort to get the rookie his first touchdown. We won’t see him at this cheap price for very long.

Ferguson is back to full practice, and I expect a high-scoring game with the Cowboys playing from behind. He should see a ton of targets, and a TD would place him in many winning lineups.
