Best DFS Picks for Las Vegas Raiders vs. New Orleans Saints - October 30 | 2022 NFL Regular Season
The Las Vegas Raiders will travel to the Ceasars Superdome and try to dig out of their hole and be a playoff-hopeful team against the Saints" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-is-sponsored="false">New Orleans Saints on Sunday (October 30).
The Raiders are coming off a solid home win over the struggling Houston Texans. The Saints, meanwhile, feel like a different team than they were expected to be, as they're on a two-game losing streak. The Saints are struggling to stay healthy and put out their best product. Can they continue their hot streak?
There are a bunch of solid players in terms of DFS so let's talk about a few that you should target.
NFL: Best quarterback picks
Cash Games and Tournament: Derek Carr QB, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $5.9K, FanDuel $7.2K)
The Las Vegas Raiders are a solid offensive team and it begins with quarterback Derek Carr being able to throw the ball downfield effectively. He has healthier skill position players and is throwing the ball 35 times per game this season without making too many mistakes.
If you compare Carr to Andy Dalton, this should not be a question as this Raiders offense is going to be able to score a lot of points and move the ball effectively.
NFL: Best running back picks
Cash Games: Alvin Kamara, RB, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $7.1K, FanDuel $7.8K)
Alvin Kamara is essentially another wide receiver at the running back position. He is getting the ball thrown in his direction with at least six receptions in each of his previous three games and is running a slid amount of times as well.
He is yet to find the end zone this season, which is unlike Kamara so this could be a way to really make him a valuable commodity as another chance to get a bunch of points per dollar.
Tournament: Josh Jacobs, RB, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $7.5K, FanDuel $9K)
Josh Jacobs is playing like a man who wants a big money contract. He is going to get the football as he is sixth in rushing attempts this year and third in rushing yards.
New Orleans is not privy to stopping the run as they are allowing 123.1 rushing yards per game. Jacobs is a solid option that will catch a few passes and dominate as he has recorded 20+ carries in his last three games with six rushing touchdowns in that stretch and winning people money.

NFL: Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash game: Chris Olave, WR, New Orleans Saints (DraftKings $6K, FanDuel $6.9K)
With Michael Thomas and Jarvis Landry both already being ruled out for this game, most wide receiver targets should head towards Olave. He is averaging 10.3 targets in his last five games and has really continued to step up. I don't love the Raiders secondary enough to stop him with a solid corner so expect him for a big production without the huge price tag.
Tournament: Darren Waller, TE, Las Vegas Raiders (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $5.5K)
A lot of people are going to be sleeping on Darren Waller since he is still dealing with a hamstring injury and missed last week's game because of it. This offense is not really going through Waller, but having a solid tight end is sometimes the major difference and we have seen Waller completely dominate games.
His elite game was in Week 1 and we have been chasing it ever since but he is going to get some targets and remain a solid TE1 option on the slate.
