Play of the Day
The third most expensive Bills receiver in DFS is the one fresh off a two-touchdown outing. That would be Emmanuel Sanders. He and quarterback Josh Allen connected in the end zone twice last week in a blowout win against Washington. Those two touchdowns are more than Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley have caught combined this season. Sanders is developing an important rapport with Allen, who is beginning to play like his 2020 self. There’s great value in plugging sanders at your WR2 or flex spot in DFS.
He’s tied for first on the team in receiving yards with Beasley (194) despite seeing fewer targets than Beasley or Diggs. Sanders has made big plays with the passes Allen has thrown his way (17.6 yards per catch) and he should only see more in what should be a blowout win against the Texans. SI Sportsbook has the line at -17 (-110) in favor of Buffalo. At least one of those scores should come from Sanders.
I hope all of your bets cash and that you get out to a healthy lead in all of your fantasy leagues. I’ll be back in your inbox on Tuesday.
