Week 1 Quarterback (1 Viewer)

With the Packers having injury woes I'm considering the following options.

Matt Ryan vs. Philadelphia. (high over/under at 53, two offenses with good quarterback that could potentially shoot it out.)

Carson Palmer vs. New Orleans (over/under not as high at 48, but he's playing at home against an offense with a good quarterback that could also potentially be a back-and-forth. Plus both teams have average run games but Arizona's defense is pretty good so it could hamper the shoot out a little bit).

 
a few i like:

Bradford vs Atl, only bad thing he will be highly owned in GPP's

Tannehill vs Wash, breakout year for him, wash reeling....

Stafford vs SD, its time for him

Bridgewater vs SF, they should and probably will try to stop the run

 
Like Bradford a lot especially for Cash Games. Ryan is also a good play IMO. Palmer scares me a bit as the Zona offence just hasn't looked good this preseason.

 
Agree with you on the cash games. And yes, GPPs are tough when it comes to finding a QB that will play well who isn't highly owned. You guys go to rotogrinders or something to figure out which QB isn't owned as much in GPPs on draftkings and fan duel?

 
Hear a lot of people talking about running out Taylor for GPP and I do have him on my rankings at no2. How bout Winston as a GPP option? Rookie QB who has looked shaky in the preseason but 2 great WRs, running ability, facing a horrid defense, and at home.

The Winston/V Jax stack for GPP is interesting.

I like this play as well. For QB's, I know this sounds intuitive, but my main objective (especially in GPP) is to prioritize QB that are playing bad defenses. Winston certinaly qualifies in that respect. Add in the fact that Mariota has looked good all preseason, and this has a shot at going over its conservative 42 O/U. I don't play too many GPP, but I will be running a Winston+ stack in at least one that I do.

 
Taylor and "GPP" keep coming up because, well, he's risky for a cash game (is he?). I dunno I feel like there's a really solid chance he gets 10-15 points and covers value, but that isn't really a recipe for success in GPP where you need a big 20 point game.

The Daily Crusher also has him projected at the highest ownership percentage among QBs -- other people agree with this? I'm thinking he will be top 3-5 in ownership, but enough people will be scared off him to keep his overall numbers down. What say you?

Ownership percentage will become more accurate as the season goes along.

But for what it's worth, he'll very likely be my most frequently owned quarterback.

Does Ryan's very weak OL scare you?

 
The Bills game plan will not be for Taylor to run and gun for a high volume of points. Lots of check downs and hand offs with some Watkins over top to try and keep the Indy D honest. I'd say his ceiling is 230 with 2 TDs and 70/1 on the ground. That's what everyone is hoping for but I think it's an unlikely outcome.

At $5000 there is other ways to find cap room that isn't much of a risk. On that note I also have him in one of my entries.

It does me a bit, but that's the only thing that scares me about him. Atlanta has no defense, no running game, and skilled WRs. IMO Ryan looks like a potential monster, at least until he gets hurt behind that OL.

Make no mistake -- the Titans are going to be atrocious this year. I think points will be scored against them at will. That said, I've got the feeling that Mariota might be really good, albeit a rookie on a really bad team. They aren't going to be able to run and there are some weapons in the passing game, plus they'll be down 14-0 and 17-3 a ton this year. I think he's a sneaky play in GPPs if you want a very low-owned QB.

Although their plan may be not to have Taylor run and gun if they are down early like I would expect they are going to look at Taylor to bring them back with both passing and running.
