It's the weekend, time to focus on the Sunday DFS slate for Week 3 and take a shot at some of the monster prize pools available across the DFS industry. 

What are we looking at today?

Week 4 DFS Picks for FanDuel GPPs and the Sunday Million 

FanDuel awards bonuses now at 100+ yards (3 points passing/receiving/rushing), but their 0.5 PPR setting does make TDs more valuable and receptions less so—something to keep in mind. 

The plays and salaries listed here will be specific to FanDuel and their salary cap contests.

However, since we’re also relying on the FantasyLife+ projections, tools and advice, the specific game matchups and correlations (aka–game stacks) are things you can apply to lineup building across the DFS industry.

If you'd like my favorite plays and GPP targets that are specific to DraftKings, you can also find them here. 

Let’s get started. Week 4 FanDuel picks are here. 

Week 4 FanDuel GPP Contrarian Stack

Lamar Jackson (6800) and Zay Flowers (7300)

• Pair with Travis Kelce (6100)

I like the idea of playing for a bit of a throwback game for Kelce this week. The Ravens have continued to struggle against the TE position this season (after allowing the 12th most FP per game to the position last year) and have now given up the seventh-most FP and 2nd most receiving yards to opposing TEs in 2025. Kelce should have more room to maneuver with Xavier Worthy back, and he has typically excelled against Baltimore, having gone for 80+ yards against them in three of their last four meetings. 

In terms of the Baltimore side, I’m all for using a two-man Lamar Jackson passing stack this week, partly given the issues the Chiefs have had containing him as a runner. In his five career games vs the Chiefs, Jackson has produced two 100+ yard rushing games, scored 3 rushing TDs, and averaged 85 rush yards per game. Further, he’s been adamant about targeting Zay Flowers in this matchup, as the two have hooked up for 11 receptions in two games vs. the Chiefs, with Flowers going for 115 yards and a TD vs them back in the playoffs of 2024.  

Given the slower game he had last week against the Lions, Flowers shouldn’t attract a ton of ownership on FanDuel’s 0.5 scoring system and could provide some great leverage vs. other top WRs if he does manage to get near his yardage ceiling and find the end zone like he did in Week 1 against Buffalo. 

Week 4 FanDuel “Big-Brain” Value Stack

Jared Goff (7600) and Jameson Williams (6800)

• Pair with Jerry Jeudy (5700) or Cedric Tillman (5300)

Despite the Lions having the second-largest implied team total on the slate (27.0), Jared Goff isn’t super expensive this week on FanDuel, coming in just $100 more expensive than Caleb Williams and $200 more expensive than Daniel Jones, whose teams both have ITT 4.0 points lower than Goff’s. 

Cleveland has been lights out at home defensively, but allowed 4 passing TDs in its one road start in Baltimore, and will face Goff this week at Ford Field, where he threw 5 TD passes in Week 2, and has thrown 45 TD passes since the start of the 2023 season.

Given the 0.5 PPR scoring on FanDuel, this is also a site where I would think about using Jameson Williams more heavily than Amon-Ra St. Brown. Williams is certainly more boom or bust for fantasy, but like Goff, has excelled at home. He and Goff have connected for 80+ yards and a TD in four of Williams' last nine regular-season games played at Ford Field. 

As far as comeback plays to use in a CLE-DET game stack, this should be a spot where we see one of the Browns receivers go off for a big day. The Lions still don’t have a true shutdown cornerback and have allowed the 10th most FP to opposing WRs and 4 receiving TDs to the position already as well. Jeudy vs. Tillman will be tough to project/predict most weeks, but both men offer up good upside this week at under 6k. 

Week 3 FanDuel Core Targets 

1. Alvin Kamara (7500)

• Pair with Josh Allen (5500)

I love targeting Alvin Kamara across the industry this week. Because of the 15-16.0 point spread in this game, he’s not an RB who will draw a ton of attention, but after drawing 18 carries in a monumental blowout loss to Seattle last week, he's a lot more game-flow proof than people realize. 

New Orleans would also be smart to attack via the ground in this game, as Buffalo is last in yards per carry allowed, and will be without two top defensive players in Ed Oliver and Matt Milano. Any Kamara outburst would also likely force Allen into more dropbacks than expected, making the two a great way to start a NO-BUF game stack on FanDuel this week. 

2. Drake London (7100)

• Pair with Michael Penix (6500)

Drake London just seems like such a great buy-low target this week. While he was regularly drafted in season-long fantasy around the same spot as names like A.J. Brown and Ladd McConkey, this week, after failing to land a TD or accumulate more than 60 receiving yards in either of his first three games, his salary has dipped well below those players. That’s despite this week facing Washington, against whom London went for 7 receptions and 106 yards (13 targets) Week 17 last season—and whose defense has allowed the 7th most FP to opposing WRs this year. 

Add in the fact that the Falcons fired their receiving coach after last week’s poor effort on offense, and you should have a motivated London this week, who is an A+ matchup to perform.  

3. Chargers DST (4000)

• Pair with Malik Nabers (8400)

The Chargers are also one of the best units in the league through three weeks, as they enter ranked third in EPA per dropback and face a Giants team that doesn’t block all that great or create plenty of lanes for their RBs. 

Using Nabers as a comeback play in this spot has some utility as well. Dart would likely be firing passes well into the fourth quarter in any scenario where the Chargers DST is dominating (and the Giants are trailing), giving Nabers and Dart the potential to work on their connection and rack up plenty of receptions and garbage-time points late.
