FanDuel NFL DFS Picks For Rams vs. Broncos Single-Game Slate

The Week 3 Sunday slate caps off with a Sunday Night Football showdown out west, and I'm back to provide my favorite FanDuel NFL DFS picks for Rams vs. Broncos single-game slate.

As a note for those dipping into the FanDuel single-game streets for the first time, they changed their format to match DK last season—a 1.5x multiplier for the MVP slot, with player salaries also costing 1.5x as much if you want to use them in your MVP slot. With a $60,000 salary to fill out six lineup spots, you're allocated an average of $10,000 per lineup slot, something to be mindful of when selecting your MVP and FLEX positions.

Rams vs. Broncos FanDuel NFL DFS Single-Game Picks For MNF

FanDuel MVP Picks For LAR vs. DEN Single-Game Slate

Davante Adams (WR, LAR) - $18,900: After being egregiously mispriced on Week 2's single-game slate given the late news of Puka Nacua's potential absence, FanDuel has appropriately adjusted his price, and he is now the highest-priced player on the slate. Adams quelled all of the "washed" concerns in Week 2, going for 195 yards on 8 catches (10 targets) with a pair of touchdowns and a Utilization Score of 85. While he has a much tougher task against Pat Surtain in Week 3, his ceiling is still the highest of any skill-position player on the slate with Nacua expected out once again.

Matthew Stafford (QB, LAR) - $17,700: If choosing a QB in a vacuum this slate, Stafford is my choice, but the $1,500 difference at the MVP spot may end up going a long way. Either way, Stafford, like Adams, bounced back in a big way last week. He posted 28 fantasy points on only 31 pass attempts, tossing 4 touchdowns and 327 yards. Like Adams, this matchup is much more difficult, but his ceiling from a pure volume perspective is significantly higher than Nix's.

Bo Nix (QB, DEN) - $16,200: Where Nix falls behind Stafford in terms of pass-game ceiling, he benefits from a bit of a softer matchup, albeit still against a tough defense. With Myles Garrett out, there's a better chance that he operates from a clean pocket, and being a home underdog could lead to a favorable game script for Nix to rack up fantasy points.

FLEX Picks For LAR vs. DEN Single-Game Slate On FanDuel

Terrance Ferguson (TE, LAR) - $4,200: Ferguson came through for his believers in Week 2 with Nacua out, playing 58.3% of the snaps and, more importantly, drawing 9 targets. He turned those targets into 6 catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. We should still expect him to be a part-time player, but he's clearly the best pass catcher in the tight end room and operated as the No. 2 option for Stafford in Week 2. If Adams gets locked down by Pat Surtain, Ferguson should be a primary beneficiary with a price that still does not reflect his current role.

Jaylen Waddle (WR, DEN) - $9,600: Waddle may be difficult to get up to on this slate, but Week 2 was a perfect example of why you want to try. After only 3 targets in Week 1, he drew 10 in Week 2, turning them into 8 catches for 138 yards on a 65 Utilization Score. He should continue to pace this offense in production, and if you are stacking Nix with a pass catcher, Waddle is the best option.

Pat Bryant (WR, DEN) - $3,400: If you want to stack Nix but can't free up the salary it takes to get up to Waddle, Bryant is my de facto No. 2. Only $3,400, he was blanked in Week 2 but did draw 6 targets in Week 1, averaging 10.5 yards per reception. And while blanked, he still saw a 7% jump in snaps from Week 1 to 2 (57.4% -> 64.4%). He's my preferred salary saver alongside Ferguson to spend up everywhere else in my lineup.

Others I will mix into my FLEX spots: Kyren Williams (RB, LAR, $10,400), Harrison Mevis (K, LAR, $6,200), Wil Lutz (K, DEN, $6,400), RJ Harvey (RB, DEN, $6,000)

Underweight/Fade positions: J.K. Dobbins (RB, DEN, $8,800), Courtland Sutton (WR, DEN, $8,200), Blake Corum (RB, LAR, $7,600), Evan Engram (TE, DEN, $5,400)
