Fantasy Index Weekly comes out each Wednesday, while one day later, Index Bets offers a gambling spin on the best and worst players of the week. Last week was solid, with Geno Smith, Rhamondre Stevenson and Tyler Boyd among the guys who paid dividends. If you’ve been following along and placed every bet, you’d be winning around 70 percent of the time.
Fantasy Index Weekly comes out each Wednesday, while one day later, Index Bets offers a gambling spin on the best and worst players of the week. Last week was solid, with Geno Smith, Rhamondre Stevenson and Tyler Boyd among the guys who paid dividends. If you’ve been following along and placed every bet, you’d be winning around 70 percent of the time. It’s not that easy every week, especially when your preference is the longer odds of parlays (where three out of four isn’t good enough), but things are going pretty well. Big Week 11 coming up, with about two dozen recommendations in the latest issue.
Each week, I sift through the player values, prop bets and over-under projections at FanDuel and DraftKings and compare them with the projections in Fantasy Index Weekly. In Index Bets, I select about two dozen of my favorite -- and least favorite -- bets of the week. Yardage props, anytime touchdowns, over-unders; wherever the best values seem to be.
I also identify some good (and bad) values for FanDuel and DraftKings salary cap lineup type games; players with low prices who should perform like top options, or high prices who won't be worth it.

BEST BETS
David Njoku has been hot lately, he’s facing a defense he did very well against last season, and the Browns quarterback switch is less likely to hurt him than the other receivers – Njoku had a nice game in Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s other start (6 for 46). His number of just 30.5 is one of the better bets of the week....
I’m not a big Jordan Love fan. But he threw the ball pretty well at Pittsburgh last week, at least in terms of moving the team down the field (though a couple were picked late). In any case, he has a passing over-under of just 226.5, and the Chargers have the league’s bottom-ranked pass defense. I feel very good that Love will hit the over in this game....
This report is just a small snippet of the Week 11 edition of Index Bets. The newsletter includes close to two dozen similar recommendations for this weekend; monthly or full-season pricing works out to just $5 week. If you're in a state that allows it, happy betting!
