So anybody make a big score last week? If so tweet at us and let us know.

Either way if you played last week you’re likely hooked on daily fantasy sports just like we are, and you probably have already started looking at your lineups for week seven, just as we have.

Though we didn’t give you Joe Flacco last week, we did point you in the direction of Matt Forte who had a monster week against the Falcons. I know, we also recommended Matt Ryan and he was a total bust, but we’ll try to do better this week!

For those of you playing Thursday night’s game give serious consideration to Tom Brady, as was evident last week, he is on a mission to prove all the doubters wrong, and is playing the Jets (one of the worst pass defenses in the league) at home!

But, if you’re looking to capture that $1 Million first place prize over at DraftKings, you need to hit on your studs and your lower salaried players, so here are some guys we think have big upside or provide good value going into this weekend’s games.

Quarterback: Andrew Luck – He is the highest salaried player at his position and for good reason, he is playing at home and the Cincinnati defense isn’t what it used to be. Expect Luck to put up big numbers. Or if you’re looking for more of a value play at the QB position, pay attention to Kirk Cousins. He’s playing at home with a full arsenal of weapons against a weak Tennessee defense.

Running back: Jonathan Stewart – He may not be good but he’s definitely cheap at $3,700 and he should be in line to get a majority of the touches against one of the worst rushing defenses in the league in the Green Bay Packers. But be careful, if the Panthers get down early they could abandon the run altogether.

Wide Receiver: Jordy Nelson – Again we’re making a pick from the top of the salary list, and again we’re looking at a player at home facing a defense whose better days are in the past. Look for Jordy to torch the Carolina secondary.

Tight End: Jordan Reed – Coming back from injury last week Reed showed why he is a key piece to the Washington offense hauling in 8 passes for 92 yards on 11 targets. Reed looks to be a key component to the offense against this week at home and makes a nice pairing with Cousins.

That’s all for this week. If you haven’t signed up to DraftKings you can do so by clicking right here. The NFL $2.2M Millionaire Maker costs only $27 to enter, pays $1 million to the winner and more than 15,000 entries overall will win cash prizes. Good luck and let us know how you do!
