1. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR, DET): The Sun God is a target monster, and that volume translates directly to DFS points. Last week, St. Brown saw 10 targets, hauling in 8 catches for 95 yards and looking every bit like the WR1 we expect. This week, he faces a secondary that has historically struggled with reliable slot receivers, setting him up for another high-floor, high-ceiling performance. Lock him in for another dominant outing.

2. Kenneth Walker III (RB, SEA): Walker looked fantastic in the Seahawks' Week 1 victory over the Patriots, gashing their defense for 93 rushing yards on 18 carries and adding a touchdown. He’s the clear lead back in a run-heavy scheme, and this week he faces a team that just gave up over 150 rushing yards to opposing backs. His workload and big-play potential make him a must-start in all formats.

3. Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN): Cousins is often overlooked, but his volume and efficiency make him a DFS gem, especially in the right matchup. Last week, he aired it out for 344 yards and 2 touchdowns, showcasing his connection with his elite receivers. This week, he gets a defense that struggles to generate pressure and often allows big plays through the air. Expect another 300+ yard, multiple-touchdown game.

1. Najee Harris (RB, PIT): Harris managed only 55 rushing yards on 16 carries last week, highlighting the struggles of the Steelers' offensive line. Compounding the issue is a tough matchup against one of the league's top-tier run defenses known for shutting down opposing ground games. His volume is there, but the efficiency and scoring opportunities are too risky given his high salary.

2. Christian Watson (WR, GB): After a disappointing 3-target, 28-yard outing in Week 1, Watson faces an uphill battle this week against a team with an elite shutdown
