NFL
6 DraftKings Bargains for Week 3
Despite a potentially daunting matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a negative game script should only benefit Dion Lewis in Week 3. Who else can grant us some savings on DraftKings this week?

Jack Doyle, TE, Indianapolis Colts

DraftKings Price: $3,500

Projected Points: 10.8

Projected Value (points per $1,000): 3.09

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle may not have found the end zone in the first two weeks, but he has clearly been Andrew Luck's most targeted tight end.

His 15 targets this season are 6 more than teammate Eric Ebron and second only to T.Y. Hilton's 22. His 18.07% market share ranks seventh among all NFL tight ends.

The Colts' defense and run game controlled the Redskins last week, but that game script is less likely to occur when Indy takes on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. The Eagles are currently 7.0-point favorites here, which means that the Colts will likely need to return to a passing-heavy game plan.

Philly is 22nd against opposing tight ends per our rankings, and just allowed O.J. Howard to finish with 3 catches for 96 yards and a score.

Our models have Doyle scoring 10.8 DraftKings points this week, which would make him the only tight end projected to return more than 3.0 points per $1,000.
