Best FanDuel/DraftKings lineup advice for NFL Week 4's Monday Night Football
MVP QB Derek Carr - $16,000 (FanDuel)/$16,200 (DraftKings)
That's our QB1!!
@derekcarrqb has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month » bit.ly/2WnPCJB https://t.co/JovMZHjfPW
Derek Carr continues to play his best in the NFL after posting over 22 fantasy points against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. He has at least 380 passing yards in each of his three games and has two TDs in each game as well. Carr has only thrown two picks. He's projected to have around 20 fantasy points against the Chargers with 280 yards and a TD. It should be a high-scoring game on Monday night.
TE Darren Waller - $13,000 (FanDuel)/$9,200 (DraftKings)
The Raiders are the first team in NFL history to have 4 players with over 200 receiving yards through the first 3 games of the season.
- Henry Ruggs III: 237 YDS
- Darren Waller: 224 YDS
- Bryan Edwards: 210 YDS
- Hunter Renfrow: 204 YDS

With Derek Carr as your MVP, it would be smart to add one of his top targets in Darren Waller. His fantasy value has been impacted with Carr spreading the ball around so much, but the Chargers have been top-10 against the pass. Carr will have to focus more on his top targets. Waller had over 100 yards in Week 1 and should have at least over 10 fantasy points this week.
TE Jared Cook - $7,500 (FanDuel)/$4,400 (DraftKings)
The 34-year-old TE has good touchdown upside each week and could have his best game of the season on Monday. The Chargers have a strong offense with QB Justin Herbert and Cook still finds a way to be explosive at times. When it comes down to redzone situations, Cook is often targeted.
WR Mike Williams - $14,000 (FanDuel), $10,200 (DraftKings)
Mike Williams for his 3rd TD of the season and once again the #Chargers take the lead from KC.
Herbert has 3 TDs today, 0 INTs.
Mahomes has 2 TDs, 1 INT so far.

Mike Williams was the top-scoring fantasy WR in Week 3 with just under 30 fantasy points, 122 yards and two TDs. He's scored in every game so far this season and should continue the trend in Week 4. He likely won't have as big of a game as he did last week, but he should remain heavily used in the passing game.
K Daniel Carlson - $9,500 (FanDuel)/$3,800 (DraftKings)
Daniel Carlson : 3/3 FG's & 2/3 on extra points (Game-winning 21-yard FG as time expired in OT) https://t.co/TymuMO8RW8
Daniel Carlson is the better of the two kickers playing in the game. He has over 10 fantasy points in every game this season and has been perfect on his field goals and missed just one extra point attempt. In a high-scoring game, he will have a good day.
WR Hunter Renfrow - $5,800 (DraftKings)
Beautiful. 👨🍳😘👌
@renfrowhunter for six and the lead!

Since DraftKings has an extra player compared to FanDuel, go ahead and draft another target for Carr. Slot receiver Hunter Renfrow has had at least five catches in three games this season and could end up with another game with 70+ yards.
Total Budgets: $60,000 of $60,000 FanDuel, $49,600 of $50,000 DraftKings
