Week 2 FanDuel NFL Tournament Pivots
The attention of daily fantasy owners will be on the elite receivers such as Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown, but don't forget about Alshon Jeffery.

Wide Receiver

Chalk:

Odell Beckham Jr., $9,400 vs New Orleans Saints - Odell Beckham will be the chalk at wide receiver this week with Delvin Breaux out. Antonio Brown and A.J. Green are also both likely to be popular options in excellent spots for production.

Pivots:

Alshon Jeffery, $7,800 vs Philadelphia Eagles - Alshon Jeffery comes at a nice discount to the elite options and is in an excellent spot for production against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The Eagles were already a poor pass defense, but following the loss of Leodis McKelvin, they present one of the best possible matchups for opposing receivers. Jeffery topped 100 yards last week against a solid Houston Texans pass defense and should have no trouble repeating that success against Philly.

Emmanuel Sanders, $6,300 vs Indianapolis Colts - Emmanuel Sanders isn't likely to be a popular option with daily fantasy owners focusing on the top options and value options, such as Will Fuller and Tyrell Williams this week. While he might not be popular, Sanders finds himself in an excellent spot for production this week.

In Week 1, Sanders was Denver's most heavily-targeted receiver, catching 5 of 8 targets for 49 yards against the Carolina Panthers. It's good to see him forming an early rapport with Trevor Siemian, and with Demaryius Thomas banged-up and potentially out, Sanders should see heavy usage again this week against a Vontae Davis-less Indianapolis Colts defense that is one of the worst units in the entire NFL. Indy just allowed Matthew Stafford and company to put up 39 points behind 340 passing yards, and Vegas sees the Denver Broncos putting up 26 points against this defense in Week 2. Sanders has sneaky upside in this game, especially if Thomas sits.
