Some value is going to pop this week based on injury news. If the Packers have some wide receivers out Marques Valdez Scantling will be in play at 3.3K on draft kings. AS a friend said to me, “I’m ready for all the Valdez puns and memes.” I agree especially if he pops and we play him. To me this week has lots of very obvious plays (Mixon) and some fantastic GPP plays. I am completely prepared to run a full fade in DFS on James Conner. His price is too high for me on DK, despite the game and situation. I can’t pay 7.5k for his limited touches. I want to play the other Steelers “RB.” Who is that? Just wait.
(Just a reminder that cash games are all head-to-heads, 50/50’s and double ups. Tourney’s or GPP’s are events with larger prize pools and different payouts the higher you score. I normally make one cash lineup and several GPP lineups every week) The player pool below is for the main Draft Kings and Fan Duel slate. Thursday, Sunday night and Monday night are not a part of their main slate.
Current Player Pool
QB
Andy Dalton- He is in play every week.
Matt Ryan – All the Falcons this week. I think I write this every week.
Blake Bortles – This will be weather dependent.
Ben – He will smash and win a slate at some point.
Matt Stafford – At home, and high game total. YES.
Kirk Cousins – Eagles pass defense is now bad.
RB
Alvin Kamara – Wait? He’s not on the main slate? Can I play him anyway?
Melvin Gordon – LOCK HIM IN.
Joe MIxon – So we are gonna play Bengals RB every week,
Todd Gurley – I know the price is high, but he is a lock for 25+ points.
CMC – He smashes every week. He’s 500 more than Conner.
Devonte Freeman – Price is pretty nice.
TY Yeldon – Weather?
Corey Grant – Fantastic GPP play. They will have to score tons. 3.7K
Where is the Steelers other RB?
WR
JULIO – Julio Eruption spot. (Has to happen, I keep saying this)
Calvin Ridley – He has to regress in terms of touchdowns soon right?
Tyler Boyd – Too cheap for role he has. When is he going to have his price raised a ton? Play him.
Dede Westbrook – Someone has to catch passes from Bortles.
AB – This is my issue. I know JUJU is a better play, but I can’t quit you AB.
JUJU – Play him.
Mohamed Sanu – Safe, and targets are consistent.
Ryan Switzer- Steelers have been using him as a RB. Falcons give up the most receptions to RB’s. HE is the STONE COLD MINIMUM.
Doug Baldwin- Will have to score to stay with the Rams.
Tyler Locket – I like them both.
Marvin Jones – He will end up being chalky based upon price.
Kenny Golladay – Detroit will score.
Adam Theilan – Eagles pass defense is now bad.
Tight End
Zach Ertz – Eagles no.1 option.
Austin Hooper –Still very cheap.
Vance – HE IS STILL TOO CHEAP.
Nick Vanette – Super cheap and now the starter.
This is where I am currently. I’ll post my stacks on Sunday to give a clear picture of who I am really backing. Did I miss anyone?
*Also more words will be coming on what Fan Duel is doing to change their basketball product. Dropping the lowest score is insane and takes some of the skill away. BRING BACK LATE SWAP!!!
