Daily Fantasy Football November 14: DFS Stock Up, Stock Down

Daily fantasy NFL is a never-ending roller coaster of ups and downs that feature players' chances for breakout performances changing more drastically than the stock market. That's never been truer than it is entering Week 10.

While injuries and strong play have allowed some players to see their stocks rise, others' stocks are plummeting due to varying reasons. With Sunday's jam-packed slate of games right around the corner, let's embark on a Saturday edition of stock up, stock down.

Stock Up

Delanie Walker, TE, Tennessee Titans ($4,700)

The best thing to happen to the Tennessee Titans offense was the return of rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, as told by the team's comeback overtime win over the New Orleans Saints. It was also the best thing that could've happened for tight end Delanie Walker.

Walker exploded with seven catches for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9, catching all but one of his eight targets. With the Titans receiving corps in shambles, Walker will once again be Mariota's favorite target and will get a lion's share of his throws Sunday against Carolina.

Cole Beasley, WR, Dallas Cowboys ($3,000)

Dallas Cowboys wideout Cole Beasley had eclipsed the double-digit DK points plateau just once all season. Then Week 9 happened, and he caught nine passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns, producing 35.2 points on DraftKings and benefiting almost nobody in the process, as Arif Hasan of VikingsJournal.com noted:

Quarterback Matt Cassel has found chemistry with hardly anyone outside of Beasley in his time as the Cowboys starter, and the return of Dez Bryant has only taken attention away from Beasley. After finishing in the top 10 in scoring of all players in Week 9, more of the same is in store for him in Week 10 against Tampa Bay.

Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers ($4,200)

Packers receiver Davante Adams has burned many a daily fantasy contestant due to his early-season ankle injury, but Week 9 showed he's on the way up and beginning to emerge as a favorite of Aaron Rodgers.

Last Sunday's game against the Panthers was Adams' first double-digit outing of the entire season, catching nine passes for 93 yards and producing 18.3 points. Against a Detroit Lions defense ranking 26th against opposing wideouts, Adams should feast again on an affordable price tag.

Stock Down

Latavius Murray, RB, Oakland Raiders ($5,700)

Oakland Raiders running back Latavius Murray fumbled on a brutal hit that gave him a concussion in Week 9. He returned to practice Friday after missing most of the week, but don't expect a quick turnaround from him.

When it boils down to it, quarterback Derek Carr is finding things easy through the air with emergent wideouts Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. That will lead to diminished production for Murray against a Minnesota Vikings defense ranking in the top 10 against running backs in DraftKings.

James Jones, WR, Green Bay Packers ($5,300)

Early-season explosion from James Jones has quickly made way for midseason futility, and now he's picked up a quad injury that's made him limited in practice. On top of that, the emergence of Adams is taking away from his targets.

Jones finished with less than double-digit DK points again in Week 9 against Carolina, and things don't promise to get better for him with Rodgers finding players like Randall Cobb and Richard Rodgers much more often in the red zone.

Heath Miller, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers ($3,000)

The return of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was a best-case scenario for security blanket and tight end Heath Miller, but just as that thought to produce more opportunity for Miller, Roethlisberger went down with another injury.

Miller was picked in a whopping 25 percent of all DK lineups in Week 9, and he burned those folks with just 6.2 points. Even with Roethlisberger returning to practice late in the week, don't expect the Steelers to rush him back.
