The Steelers and Raiders, two 1-1 squads with rollercoaster starts to the season, clash in Vegas this weekend on Sunday Night Football (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). Today we will go over our favorite picks for single-game tournaments, and explain our strategies for making some primetime DFS cash https://www.commandersedge.com/cornelius-lucas-jerseys .Pittsburgh opened the season getting trounced at home by the Super Bowl-favorite 49ers, but rebounded nicely with a Monday Night Football win over the division-rival Browns. The Raiders, meanwhile, eked out an opening-week victory over the Broncos, but got destroyed by the Bills in Buffalo in Week 2.Which of these squads will prevail in Week 3? You'll have to check our for that. But if you're crafting a lineup on , you've come to the right place. Like we always do with primetime games, we will unveil our top DFS picks and explain our roster-building strategy below. Good luck, have fun, and enjoy the weekend!Before we break down our picks and strategy, here are the most notable scoring rules for FanDuel contests:four-point pa sing TDsandhalf-point PPR.MORE STEELERS-RAIDERS:||MVP (1.5x points) Davante Adams, WR, Raiders ($15,500)Unlike DraftKings, drafting a player to the 1.5-times boost spot does not require you to spend 1.5 times that player's listed salary. Therefore, it makes the most sense to pick the player you project to score the most points. In this case, it's Davante Adams for us, as he's the best player in a game that will likely see a lot of Jimmy Garoppolo throws.Adams has averaged 13.5 FanDuel points through two games this season, modest by his standards. But the Raiders have also faced the Broncos and Bills, two pretty good defenses, and Vegas had to go without Jakobi Meyers opposite Adams last weekend due to a concu sion.With Meyers back in action and the Steelers' secondary far le s impre sive than Denver and Buffalo, Adams should feast. Amari Cooper came into Monday Night Football banged up and proceeded to haul in seven catches for 90 yards in Pittsburgh. Imagine what kind of damage that Adams, a vastly superior wideout, can do to the Steleers at home.FLEX Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders ($12,500)Jacobs somehow comes cheaper than four other players from this game https://www.commandersedge.com/jon-bostic-jerseys , despite the fact that the Steelers have surrenderedthe most fantasy points in the NFL to RBs this season (Sorry, I had to bold that for added effect). Sure, the reigning rushing king has been underwhelming so far but like we said in the Adams writeup, the Broncos and Bills are a pair of very tough road matchups to start a season. Jacobs will feast this weekend.FLEX Jakobi Meyers, WR, Raiders ($11,500)Wow, three spots down and we have three Raiders. What's going on!? Well, Meyers was easily one of the NFL's most impre sive wideouts in Week 1 before he suffered a concu sion, finishing the 16-15 Vegas win with 24.6 FD points. We think Meyers will be good this week, and not just because he's going to see a bunch of single coverage opposite Adams https://www.commandersedge.com/shaka-toney-jerseys . The Steelers' secondary has been underwhelming, allowing more points to opposing wideouts than 18 other NFL teams. The Jimmy G-Jakobi M connection which started in New England years ago, and has now picked back up in Vegas strengthens this weekend in the Raiders' home-opener.FLEX George Pickens, WR, Steelers ($11,000)Finally, another Steeler! With Diontae Johnson on the shelf with a hamstring injury, Pickens stepped up in a major way against the Browns on Monday Night Football. He caught 4-of-10 targets for 127 yards and a TD, looking far-and-away like Kenny Pickett's favorite target. The Raiders pa sing defense is exploitable they have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to wideouts this season so don't be surprised if we see Pickens find the end zone for the second consecutive week.FLEX Pat Freiermuth, TE, Steelers ($8,000)We're leaving $1,500 on the table to draft Freiermuth, who we view as one of the TE sleepers of Week 3. Here's a little word of advice for you: You don't get extra points for spending all $ https://www.commandersedge.com/troy-apke-jerseys 60,000 in your budget! If you believe you have the optimal lineup after spending just $58,500, roll out that lineup and tell FanDuel to keep the change!Let's talk about why we love Freiermuth: Vegas has surrendered the fifth-most DK points to tight ends this season. 'Muth already found the end zone in Week 1, but he's only seen five total targets in two weeks. That's partly because Myles Garrett and the Browns made Kenny Pickett's life miserable on Monday, forcing Pittsburgh to use its tight ends as pa s-blockers. The Vegas pa s-rushers won't control the line nearly as well, nor will the Raiders linebackers and safeties keep the 'Muth silenced.This year, we're also listing our favorite weekly DFS plays on.For those unfamiliar,DFS scoring involves point multipliers as opposed to traditional salary-capped or tiered contests. A winning lineup will likely feature a strong mix of stud fantasy contributors with 1x-1.6x boosts, as well as matchup-based sleepers with larger multipliers. Each player is a signed a scoring multiplier based on their value as determined by SuperDraft.Users can roster any player in their lineup with no restrictions.MORE:Here are the most notable scoring rules for SuperDraft NFL contests:Half-point PPR,four-point pa sing TDs,two-point bonuses for 100 rushing yards,100 receiving yards,and 300 pa sing yards.MORE SUPERDRAFT DFS:Champion (+50% points): George Pickens, WR, Steelers (1.9x)Super FLEX: Davante Adams, WR, Raiders (1x)Super FLEX: Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders ( https://www.commandersedge.com/washington-commanders-men-jersey 1.1x)Super FLEX: Pat Freiermuth, TE, Steelers (1.55x)Super FLEX: Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers (1.55x)We basically picked all the same players we featured in our DraftKings lineup, but we opted to make Pickens our "champion" for the 50 percent points boost on top of his 1.9-times multiplier. This squad looks really good, and we're entering it into SuperDraft as we speak. We hope you do, too, and be sure to use my promo code 'sloanp' for a free $20 of SuperDraft bets!
