The Los Angeles Chargers have a home game against the Cleveland Browns this week. You don't find many better situations in DFS than home in good weather against the Browns, so they're going to be very popular. There will be plenty of stacks with Philip Rivers, Keenan Allen and/or Hunter Henry. The Chargers defense is going to be highly owned as well. It does look like on FanDuel Melvin Gordon could be under-owned, however, and I plan on taking advantage of that.
In fact, in a tournament I really like the idea of stacking the explosive Patriots passing game against the Bills and playing Gordon at running back. That means you're going to need a couple of value plays. Thankfully Alex Collins is only $5,900 in a prime matchup against the Detroit Lions. Collins is at home against a bad run defense and he should get 18-plus carries. It's a perfect spot. Kenyan Drake is another option who should get big volume against a beat-up Broncos defense.
