The Las Vegas Raiders and the Jacksonville Jaguars will square off this week as both teams are coming off tough performances. There is a lot of interesting DFS plays in this matchup, so let's dive into it here!
Best quarterback picks:
Cash Games:
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars (DraftKings $5.2K, FanDuel $6.8K)
We keep waiting for Trevor Lawrence to essentially take that next step as a NFL quarterback. This is especially true since he is coming off a two-interception game against the Denver Broncos in London. The Las Vegas Raiders defense is struggling as they are allowing 268.9 passing yards per game. This is a good chance for Lawrence to snap out of his mediocrity.
Tournaments:
Derek Carr, QB, Las Vegas Raiders (Draftkings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.8K)
The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was unable to muster up much offense last week against the New Orleans Saints as he was 15-of-26 for 101 yards with an interception before being benched for Jarrett Stidham. The Jacksonville defense did not do too well against Russell Wilson last week, so Carr is in a great spot to bounce back without major hits to your team's cap.

Best running back picks
Cash Games:
Josh Jacobs, RB, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $7.3K, FanDuel $8.8K)
Josh Jacobs continues to look like a beast on the field as he continues to get a bulk of the action and dominate on the ground here. He averaged 4.3 yards per carry last week in a game where the offense was terrible. The Jaguars are giving up 108.6 rushing yards, and Jacobs has the ability to catch some passes as well to add to his value.
Tournaments: Travis Etienne, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars (DraftKings $6.3K, FanDuel $7.6K)
In his first game as the lead running back for Jacksonville last week against Denver, he had a massive game with 156 rushing yards, as well as three receptions. He was able to find the end zone as well, which is a good sign but expect more out of him in the passing game to get his value up even more and to add more points to your DFS lineup.

Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game:
Marvin Jones Jr, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (DraftKings $4.2K, FanDuel $5.3K)
After a miserable week where he did not record a single catch on just three targets, he can be a huge value in this game. He had 19 targets in the two games before and has a touchdown upside, which you are looking for in this position if you are selecting Jones here.
Tournaments: Darren Waller, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $4.9K, FanDuel $6K)
Sounds like Darren Waller will be playing this week. His hamstring injury has really brought Waller's value down to where he can be a steal here. He can be a good tight end option to get a solid target share in this game.
