Given the two, I'd take Dunbar. Is the rest of your construction top heavy enough to warrant such a low cost guy? I'm admittedly new to DFS and only playing on FanDuel but I haven't had to scrape that low into the skill guys in order to fill out a decent roster. This week my lowest cost skill guy in my GPP entry is Woodhead at $6400. I could see if you were running out Antonio Brown and Gronk though.

Dunbar for cash, but I'd probably consider Blount for a tournament.

So Jordan Reed hit 4x value on DK last night, which is a great start to the week. He also had two wide open targets in the endzone that Cousins was too inaccurate to captialize on, so it could have been a much bigger game. If his cost stays low I think he'll be a great value for the next few weeks since he is getting a ton of targets and is by far their best red zone option.

If his cost stays low I think he'll be a great value for the next few weeks since he is getting a ton of targets and is by far their best red zone option. I saw how cheap he was and threw him into a lineup that I entered in a handful of games. Kinda wish I had done more, but I was strapped for time and threw in placeholders for everyone else just to get an entry in time for TNF. Are there any updates on DeMarco Murray? PPR in DK helps quite a bit and I feel like Sproles can be a great value this week if Murray is limited at all. Current lineup: Palmer $6600 Sproles $3800 Woodhead $4400 Julio $9000 Edelman $7300 D Adams $5000 Reed $3800 L Bell $7500 Falcons $2900 Like I said, I threw it together in a rush because I just wanted to lock something in with Reed so maybe I'll end up with some changes.

Those guys (woodhead, dunbar, sproles, etc) are way better on DK than on FD. Prices are softer and its full PPR. I often stack my roster with a couple of those guys to start, fill out with studs, and then upgrade them if I have money left over. E: My dilemma this week: Moncrief, Crabtree, or Allen Robinson in cash on FD? They're all about the same price. JoshTheStampede fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Sep 25, 2015 |

That said, I see both Robinson and Moncrief as being primarily GPP plays since they have yet to demonstrate consistency. Opportunity is there for sure, but the floors aren't high enough for me to be comfortable with them in cash games. If I had to pick one, it'd be Robinson. A sneaky cash play on FD might be Nate Washington since he's been getting ~9 targets a game. Now he hasn't been great at converting those targets into catches, which is likely the QB's fault, but that's good volume for his price.

They both have a lot of targets though, and Crabs leads the NFL in targets for WRs. That said, the ~6000 range of WRs isn't much better, with Stevie Johnson, Doug Baldwin, Kendall Wright, Mike Wallace, John Brown, none of which really make me feel safe in cash.

He still needs to pass concussion testing before being cleared to play, but it looks like he'll play, which lowers Washington's value. On the other hand, Tevin Coleman has been ruled out, so Devonta Freeman should be the lead back.

Yeah I like Freeman too. My main problem with him is that on DK he is more expensive than Yeldon. Yeldon has been getting way more rushing attempts and is a more talented player. The only downside to Yeldon is game flow. The Patriots will likely destroy the Jags, so he might not get as many carries as he has been getting.

Yeah, me too, but the danger is that a hobbled Lacy makes Starks a bad play. Whereas Starks alone for 3k is basically a must play. I'm off Lynch at this point in cash, Bell or AP are just as good for about the same price, no point in getting ulcers over Lynch. \/\/\/ Assuming all those guys are starting, I would say Freeman, Powell, Jackson, Polk is the order. Polk will split with Blue, Jackson will split with Rawls. Freeman and Powell are pretty close, but Coleman is definitely out at this point while Ivory may play and be limited and cut into Powell's carries.

How do people feel about the other cheap backups for injured starters (assuming that the starters don't play)? Devonta Freeman, Bilal Powell, Chris Polk, and Fred Jackson. Talent-wise I have the most faith in FJax, but I feel like Lynch is the most likely to play. All of them are cheap enough that 3x value is easily within their reach if they get the start, but picking between them will be key because at least one of them will have a much better game than the rest. EDIT: Ended up going with Freeman and Mathews in most of my lineups. Looking pretty good so far. CompeAnansi fucked around with this message at 18:51 on Sep 27, 2015 |

So here was my main lineup for the Thursday-Monday slate: I'm in two tournaments right now, currently ranked 3rd in both. If I'd started Cam Newton instead of Wilson, I think I'd have had a legit chance of winning one of them. Oh well. Still, pretty good regardless. Anyone else have some success this weekend?

So far yeah. In the money on all my cash games (so far anyway) and in small money in a couple tourneys. Whiffed on Forsett and Jstew in one but had a lot of Cam, Freeman, Fitzgerald, Seahawks, AP. Much better than last week anyway. E: at 146 and 138 on fan duel I SHOULD remain in the money in 50/50s right? The line is like 125 now, what are the odds it pushes that much higher in two games?

So with Big Ben getting hurt today and the Steelers playing Thursday, Vick is still priced low for the Monday-Thursday slates. Think that makes it worth playing or will it just be "everyone takes Vick"?

I thing that's gonna be two hard games to pick on, but more than likely Aaron Rodgers is going to be getting a big portion of the draft rate. Kansas City's defense is giving up quite a few passing yards (260+)... but they are also getting a lot of sacks so who knows what they are going to do tomorrow night. I would be worried about the Ravens coming out really hard this week with their 0-3 record after playing solid games the last 2 weeks.

Ozu posted:Woodhead was a huge disappointment though. Yeah, I bailed on Woodhead in many of my lineups once I realized that Freeman was only $200 more on DK. The spots he remained in were lost once it came out that DeMarco was out and Mathews was the starter. That said, although I thought both were better values than Woodhead, I didn't see him having THIS bad of a game. I would have happily played him if Mathews hadn't gotten the start.

Used mainly points and tickets so i should technically be very profitable on the week since i am in the money in a few places. Most important sweat is that im sitting with a little under 160 in the millionaire maker with Kelce and Cobb left to go so i should be in the money for that so long as they get 25 or so points between them which hopefully isnt too much of a stretch
