2015 Daily Fantasy Sports Quarterback Picks – Versus Atlanta Falcons

With the Atlanta Falcons expected to have one of the worst defenses in the NFL, Gambling911.com takes a look at some great Daily Fantasy Sports quarterback picks.  Note that oddsmakers do not believe the Falcons will necessarily falter in 2015 as they were favorites to win OVER 8.5 regular season games.

Week 1 – Sam Bradford – Two years ago, Bradford managed to score a red hot 35 plus fantasy points playing in Atlanta.  Just imagine the possibilities as he takes over in Philadelphia, a team with odds among the top five to win the NFC Championship. Bradford should come cheap.

Week 2 – Eli Manning – Manning posted an impressive 27:10 TD/Int ratio in his final 14 games, including a 391-yard, three-touchdown performance in Week 16 against the Rams.  Expect a solid performance against Atlanta.  You should be able to grab Manning at a low enough price here.

Week 3 – Tony Romo – No reason not to continue the trend going against Atlanta though Romo will come with a higher price tag so better options may be found.  Romo last faced the Falcons a few years ago, scoring just over 20 fantasy points.  That’s around where he averaged last season.  Gambling911.com believes some value can still be gotten here.

Week 6 – Drew Brees – He will be among the most priciest of starting quarterbacks once again this season.  Still, over the past two seasons Brees has scored over 20 fantasy points against the Falcons and we should see that trend continue this season.  One might discover better value with other quarterbacks this week though Brees provides less risk.

Week 8 – Jameis Winston – Depending on how he has performed up to this point, we could have an opportunity for Winston to truly shine.  The Bucs took Florida State’s Jameis Winston as the first overall pick in May, and he’ll be expected to start from day one as the team’s franchise quarterback.

Week 9 - Colin Kaepernick – He scored around 30 fantasy points the last time facing Atlanta. 

Week 13 - Jameis Winston – See above

Week 14 – Cam Newton – He may be the best pick of any starting quarterbacks going up against Atlanta.  This is such a tight division, Carolina will almost certainly have something to play for here and Newton will be played.  We’re not sure this will be the case in Week 16 however.
