I agree on Powell, Not sure why a lot of people are so down on him. I plugged him into a tourney lineup last night to get an idea on what his ownership % was. It was a GPP and his ownership was at 1.9%. What we have seen from the Jets the first two weeks is that they are willing to get a lead and grind it out. If Ivory is out, Powell's ownership will definitely jump.
Obviously it depends on what we hear about Ivory leading up to the game, but assuming that Powell is the guy, are you concerned about having Powell and Marshall in your lineups? Both seem like high value plays (especially if Decker is out), but I just realized I was plugging in two Jets. I know the negative correlation isn't that big of a deal in Cash games, but still has me re-thinking.
I had the exact same thought after looking at it closer. Having two Jets offensive players cant give good returns. If Ivory is out I think I keep Powell as a punt. Plenty of other decent WRs to take in Marshall's spot.
No, Every year I say that I'm going to subscribe and just don't. Need to change that.
It is a good way to know what the crowd is doing. It is not something you should blindly follow.
Agreed. I usually know what core players I want to form my base lineups around before looking at the FBG projections but its nice to work out some of the wrinkles using the interactive charts. Those are a very important part of my weekly process. It would take alot more time if I didn't have access to that tool. I'm comfortable saying that the interactive charts have helped me enough to pay for the yearly subscription many times over.
Yikes. I have Lynch in half of my lineups. Even if he plays, I see no reason for them to run him into the ground. They should have a healthy lead very early.
I'm staying away this week from both.. no idea if he goes to spot duty, shares the load or gets, for Bell owners, the dreaded goal line carries... plenty of other options this week IMO..
Same here. I locked Lynch into my Thursday lineups with the thought that his ownership % would be down even though it was highly likely he would play.
Yep, I used him in all my Thursday lineups. I got a good start from Reed and Brown, but taking a 0 there from Lynch would making getting int he 50/50 money tough. I guess I'll hope he goes and at least gets an early TD in case they get a big lead and rest him, should have gone with Charles I guess. I have subbed Charles into all my Sunday lineups for Lynch.
I subbed Charles in for him pretty much everywhere as well. Charles faces the Green Bay D that Forte shredded in week 1, so its probably not much of a drop off.frae said:
Yeah. Technically double ups, etc are "GPP" but it is used to mean the tournaments by everyone.
My issue with swapping Charles for Lynch is that it will really expose me to Charles since I have lineups with him anyway.
Bell's floor worries me some, just because that team has so many options on offense. I can't imagine Deangelo not getting 25-30% of the carries given how well he has played. Bell can do a lot with 70% of the carries and in the passing game tho.
I will definitely have him in tournaments but cash I'm pretty scared. The Lynch injury has me leaning towards plugging him into my cash lineup
Outside of some large tournaments with Foles I have Brady in all of my 50/50 and Double Ups. I liked Palmer too, but in the end with all Brady.
I'm in on Brady too. But I like Bortles a ton. NE's defense looks absolutely horrible to me right now. Lots of NE points game scripts to a bunch of Bortles pass attempts against a pass defense that has been shredded thus far.
I agree with you and almost used Bortles and Hurns in a cheap tournament, but in the end went with Foles against my Steelers terrible secondary.
