2022 USFL DFS picks: Top DraftKings tournament strategy, advice for Week 9 from a Fantasy expert

The Tampa Bay Bandits are 4-4 and on the USFL playoff bubble, but they find themselves in a matchup with another team playing for their postseason lives this week in the New Orleans Breakers. The game features the league leader in passing yards, Kyle Sloter, against the quarterback with the most passing touchdowns, Jordan Ta'amu. Both have been in the conversation for highlighting USFL DFS lineups throughout the season, but do the high stakes in this week's game help or hurt their case in the USFL DFS player pool on DraftKings?

Perhaps the most intriguing option in the game could be another player in the New Orleans backfield; running back Jordan Ellis. Ellis has the second-most rushing yards in the league, with 519, and three rushing touchdowns. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay's defense has allowed 4.9 yards per carry over its last two games to opposing primary running backs.
