This article is part of our DFS NFL series.
We've wrote about Locker's live in-game contests a few times in recent weeks, which included details about the RotoWire League.
The RotoWire League will run throughout the season and user's can join at anytime. If you sign up for Locker through RotoWire, use promo code WIRE and you'll receive a $50 deposit match.
In addition to their in-game contests and leagues, Locker also offers Picks contests, which should be familiar if you've played on other popular DFS Pick'em style platforms. Locker's Picks contests allow users to select more or less for 2-8 players across a variety of statistical categories. If all of your Picks are correct, you will be paid out 1x-100x of your entry fee.
Moving forward, I'll share my favorite more and less Picks on Locker in this column each week. Here are some of my favorite Picks on Locker for Week 3:
Ja'Lynn Polk less than 21.5 receiving yards.
Through two NFL games, Polk has a total of three catches for 18 yards. Although the matchups against the Seahawks and Bengals weren't easy, they certainly weren't horrible. In Week 3, the rookie wideout will be lined up against one of the Jets' excellent outside corners. In a game that should be low scoring, it's tough to see Polk having his first good NFL game.
Michael Pittman less than 50.5 receiving yards.
Anthony Richardson has completed 26 passes in two games. Aside from deep shots to the quarterback's downfield threats, very little has worked for Richardson on shorter passes. As the Colts' primary possession receiver, Pittman hasn't posted more than 31 yards in a game despite averaging 7.5 targets. Pittman will have a tough matchup against Chicago cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson in Week 3. Also, the weakness of the Bears defense is against the run. Look for Indy to emphasize their rushing attack this weekend.
Aaron Jones more than 53.5 rushing yards.
After rushing for 94 yards in the season opener, Jones had just nine carries for 32 yards against the 49ers in Week 2. It makes sense to chalk up Jones' Week 2 performance to a tough matchup. This week, Jones will face the Texans. Houston has a solid pass defense and pass rush, but the Texans rushing defense is average. Playing at home, Minnesota should keep this close enough to get Jones close to 15 carries. That volume should help him push past 60 yards on the ground.
