Can Josh Jacobs keep up his hot start against the New Orleans Saints?

The 2-4 Las Vegas Raiders will travel to the Bayou to take on the 2-5 New Orleans Saints in the NFL on Sunday (October 30).

Both the Raiders and Saints' seasons have gone south. The Raiders seemingly got their season back on track last week with a ground-and-pound approach featuring Josh Jacobs. The Saints, meanwhile, remain a bit off with Andy Dalton under center.

Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.


NFL: Best quarterback picks

Cash Games and Tournament: Derek Carr, QB, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $5.9K, FanDuel $7.2K)

Considering the injuries to New Orleans Saints receivers, Andy Dalton with how man is not a good option. Derek Carr is traditionally better at home, but in a must-win game, Carr is capable of a ceiling performance.


NFL: Best running back picks

Cash Games: Josh Jacobs, RB, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $7.5K, FanDuel $9K)

Consideirng how hot Josh Jacobs has been recently, are there any doubts about this selection? Jacobs has been a terror for the opposition. The Saints' defense is notoriously tough against the run, but this year, they have struggled.

Tournament: Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $7.1K, FanDuel $7.8K)

Alvin Kamara is key for the Saints' success, considering the lack of weapons on the outside. With Andy Dalton under center, we're more likely to see Kamara targeted out of the backfield as a receiver, which is his specialty. Alvin Kamara is capable of a ceiling performance when the Saints need him the most.


NFL: Wide receivers and tight ends

Cash game: Davante Adams, WR, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $8.6K, FanDuel $8.5K)

Davante Adams is battling the flu, so keep an eye out for the injury report leading up to the game. The Saints' secondary remains banged up and can't match up with Davante Adams. As long as Adams is active, he's the key to the Cash Game.

Tournament: Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $6.9K)

With the other receivers for the Saints injured, Chris Olave should have all the opportunities he can handle.

Olave is an Air Yards machine with his ability to stretch a defense vertically. Don't be fooled - Olave is more than a speed merchant. Olave is developing into one of the better all-around young receivers in the game who can take advantage of defenses all over the field.
