Another week and another Millionaire Maker Tournament going on over at Draft Kings. Last weeks $27 game turned out to be such a success that they went ahead and created one for this week as well. So, let's make our move to get a piece of that million bucks this week.
To be honest with you I am pretty much fading the Thursday game between the Colts and the Texans this week. I know that these two teams played a pinball machine type game late last season but the Texans just don't allow that many points nor do they score a lot to warrant a heavy investment at home on a short week. The Colts offense is due to slow down here soon and this seems like the perfect storm for that to happen. If you are one of those that absolutely have to start players in this game then the WR's are the players to target. Both T.Y. Hilton and Andre Johnson provide great upside with low floor considering their price points.
