Last week we gave you six FanDuel bargains for Week 1. These were players you could get cheaply so you could fill the rest of your lineup with stars. Here's how we fared with our picks and the Week 2 outlook for each:
Hits
Saints RB Mark Ingram, $5,200: Ingram delivered big-time as he produced 18.6 FanDuel points at Atlanta (13 carries, 60 yards, 2 TDs, 1-yard catch). He keyed many winning lineups. Ingram's price rose to $5,900 for Week 2 at Cleveland. It's still a reasonable cost for a plus matchup. He'll be under consideration again.
Chargers TE Antonio Gates, $4,800: Gates led San Diego in targets (10), catches (6) and receiving yards (81), putting up 11.1 FanDuel points at a rock-bottom price. It could have been a bigger night had Gates not dropped two passes, including one that would gained at least 15 yards. Costing $5,600 Week 2 vs. Seattle, Gates won't be a recommended play.
Saints WR Marques Colston, $5,700: Colston caught five passes for 110 yards, but he lost a fumble and failed to score. Still he outproduced his price with 11.5 FanDuel points and remains a viable Week 2 option, costing $5,600 at Cleveland.
Misses
Cowboys QB Tony Romo, $8,300: Romo threw three picks into double and triple coverage in the first 20 minutes and finished with 281 passing yards and one touchdown. After posting a pathetic 12.6 FanDuel points, his price dropped to $7,800 for Week 2 at Tennessee. Staying away, lesson learned.
Bengals RB Jeremy Hill, $5,400: Hill received only 10 snaps against Baltimore, carrying four times for 19 yards. Offensive coordinator Hue Jackson promised Hill will get more work moving forward; we'd like to see it first. The matchup is right Week 2 vs. Atlanta, so is the price, $4,900, but it will be hard to pull the trigger.
Wash
Titans WR Justin Hunter, $4,800: He led the team with eight targets and 63 receiving yards while playing 52 snaps. Hunter has a chance to go off against the Cowboys, though his price rose to $5,700. He merits Week 2 consideration.
