NFL DFS Bargains: Week 10

As reported by The Athletic’s Michael-Shawn Duggar, Milroe played behind both Sam Darnold and Drew Lock and “didn’t have many plays that stood out” during the week. The team’s decision to play him with the third-string shouldn’t come as a surprise, as there’s a good chance Milroe, who was considered an unpolished passer upon entering the draft, could redshirt in his rookie season as he looks to learn behind two vets. While he could usurp Drew Lock on the depth chart with a strong training camp, fantasy managers shouldn’t expect much out of Milroe as a rookie outside of the occasional gadget play.

This doesn’t come as a surprise, given that Ramsey posted just weeks ago that “a new chapter awaits” him and his career. The veteran corner has been working with the Dolphins to facilitate a potential trade, making his decision to stay away from mandatory minicamp a logical one for both sides. Where Ramsey could land is anybody’s guess, but the $25 million cap hit the Dolphins would have taken on had they traded Ramsey before June 1 now sits at $7 million post-June 1, which should help speed up a deal before the start of training camp next month.

In an article published by Joseph Person of The Athletic, Panthers head coach Dave Canales praised Sanders for taking the steps to improve his conditioning ahead of this season. Sanders reportedly checked into OTAs weighing 245 pounds, which was down from the 255 pounds he played at last season. A neck injury slowed Sanders’ 2024 rookie campaign, but the the former Longhorn still managed to catched 33 passes for 342 yards and one touchdown despite seeing a 55 percent snap share. With a chance to see more work this season, Sanders coming into camp in better shape could bode well for his 2025 fantasy outlook as a late-round flier in drafts.

Solak raised questions about whether Rodgers is a feasible fit in Arthur Smith’s offensive system, which includes lots of under-center play-action passing — a play Rodgers has traditionally rejected because he doesn’t like turning his back to the defense. Solak said Metcalf’s imprecise route running could be a major bugaboo for the perfection-demanding Rodgers in 2025. “The ex-Seahawk is one of the less precise route runners in the NFL, and Rodgers famously demands perfection from his receivers as they run his hand-selected variety of highly specific routes,” he said. “It’s hard to imagine a 17-game season in which there is no sideline or postgame blowup between Rodgers and his top pass catcher.”

The deal includes $10 million in guaranteed money and $5.85 million in playing time and team performance incentives, bringing the potential total value to $19.5 million. It was previously reported that Rodgers would play for around $10 million this season with his new deal in Pittsburgh bringing that much in guarantees. The veteran quarterback would have made $37.5 million playing with the Jets this season, but the team has since moved on in favor of a cheaper contract with Justin Fields. Rodgers should not be expected to throw more than 30-33 times per-game based on the strength of Pittsburgh’s outstanding defense, which limits his fantasy appeal to deeper leagues and two-quarterback formats.

Conley, who appeared in 23 games for the 49ers over the last two seasons, is hanging up his cleats after a 10-year career in the NFL. Drafted in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chiefs, Conley is perhaps best known for his time in Jacksonville. The 32-year-old receiver had 775 yards on 47 catches and five touchdowns in 2019 with the Jaguars. Conley is heading to film school at the University of Georgia, according to Rapoport.
