Brees at home this week should be money. Definitely gonna be doing a stack or two there.

Looks a lot like my lineup I put in for my survivor contest and also without any research, just from the gut. It's the final round so whether I finish last or in the top 25% I still get $3.Breesbro1ncos said:

I think my cash Qb target this week is Wilson. Slightly cheaper than the top guys at 8400. Atl isn't letting a lot of rush yards, but allow almost 300yds a game and have allowed the most passing TDs. As far as most Fantasy pts allowed for the year, Atl is #2 to Qbs. Plus as we saw last week vs Denv, Atl is getting the job done vs. good Ds and have the ability to push the score up. If looking healthy, a fun gpp might be Wilson and Lockett, but definitely Wilson and Graham.

If you can't fit Brees I think Wilson is next best as he should have overall QB1 upside

I'm intrigued as to what kap might do in chips offense but I'm not wagering a dollar on it

Do we know that's who his target is going to be though? Thought the same, but should you sprinkle in a little T.Smith?

Ive got a lot going on this week so Im mostly taking it off. Just running a few high upside entries in some qualifiers and the Milly. My initial thoughts:
1. I want all the Gronk. Despite Bennett having the monster game on Sunday Gronk actually played more snaps.
2. I want all the McCoy. He has been productive so far this year, but he was actually really unlucky last week. Some positive TD regression is coming his way against a rush defense that has allowed 150+ rushing yards in every game this year except the home opener against the Rams. This seems almost too obvious a spot.
3. Im leaning towards a 75/25 split at QB between Brees and Marriota. Snead is going to have an absolute monster game. My Marriota lineups will probably all be naked, although I do like Delanie. I have my concerns with DeMarco though. Hes been getting an absolutely insane workload. They will get him some much needed rest in this one. Maybe this is Derrick Henry's coming out party?
4. Paying up at Brees, McCoy, and Gronk leaves some roster construction issues. There are some cheaper guys that I like just on my brief check through the numbers. Bobby Rainey is going to put up WR2 numbers at almost min price. Baltimore hasnt actually allowed a whole lot to opposing pass catching RBs, but its not because the plays that have been run against them havent worked. Baltimore is allowing an 87.5% completion percentage to opposing RBs. Almost 60% of those plays are rated "successful". Only Atlanta and New Orleans have a worse track record. Nelson Agholor is actually leading the Eagles in targets over the last few weeks. He has done nothing with them, but if he ever does! And Breshad Perriman. Another guy that hasnt done much with the minimal opportunity hes been given so far. Mike Wallace and Steve Smith are hurt though, one or both may not play. If Perriman gets 10 targets this week he has the talent to convert atleast 1 of them into a long TD. Michael Thomas is also an obvious cheap WR to consider

Love the thinking there NM, and I had a couple of them on my gpp/cheap list - Henry and Perriman. Balt Wrs are banged up, he nearly had a TD Sunday, and has been seeing more and more action. This is a game Tenn should be able to control, so Henry was on my list. Seems to be doing more with little work running, and I would think at some point they have to give DM a little break. This could be the week if they can get up on the Brownies.
I am at a similar point where I want to pay up at and don't see cheap options I love at Qb/Rb/TE. I am sure a lot of it has to do with getting burned by all the cheap RBs and TEs last week. I have been scrounging around for cheap WR ideas too. Still researching, but ones that stuck out so far:
KC Wrs - Conley/Wilson/Hill are all minimum priced or 100 more. IF we believe the Oak pass D is as bad as advertised and Oakland has the talent to keep scoring, KC is going to find themselves in a game like with Pitts. Conley getting the most reps and targets, but Hill has the speed to turn any catch into an 80yd TD
Lockett: mentioned him above, and I will be watching the injury status coming off of the bye. He is sitting at 5300, and I think Wilson will have a big day.
LA Wrs: Det has been giving up a ton of points to opposing QBs and WRs. They are sitting at <6000 and one are both might be due for a TD (been a couple weeks). Maybe pick whoever Slay isn't on?
C.Brown: If we think this could become a shootout in the Superdome, he is at 4500
Dallas WRs: Honestly don't know what to think here. Something's gotta give - GB is best vs. run so far, and Dallas is best rushing team. Eli sucks and couldn't exploit it, but GB's secondary is banged up and can be thrown on. They are all under 6000 too, but Cole has been getting fewer and fewer targets and I think Williams is dinged up. Maybe Butler for 5600? Also, what's the status on Dez? This is a game that Dak can pretty much squash the Romo talk if they go to GB and win. GB has the talent up front to force it on his shoulders.
C.Meredith - only 5400
For a odd gpp stack, am staring at Dak/Wr, Smith/Wr, Keenum/Wr right now. Hard to win in GB, but something about that game and Dak keeps drawing me to it.

I had him written down. My concern with that game is SF run defense is terrible, McCoy has looked great, and Buff D has been damn good. Add to that the SF QB dumpster fire, and I am just not sure how much Taylor or Clay will need to be involved in this one.
Very good point... with Kaep in at QB, definitely possible for the Bills D to take advantage.

With a bye week in week 7, It looks like Dez will get a couple more weeks to heal. Per Rotoworld today...
According to Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News, "it continues to look like" Dez Bryant (knee) won't play against the Packers in Week 6.
and
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team "won't take any chances" with Dez Bryant (knee).

Is this just an odd, lower scoring week? I am just used to lineups I put in the IVC getting to 120+, and none of mine this week are getting there.
Raging weasel

That and I think the pricing is getting tighter especially at RB. Most of the lineups I liked for cash come in the 112-116 range. My gpp lineups led by Smith/osweiller are 121-123.

I've had the same problem so far this year, just throwing in a cheap TE as either part of a stack of one in a high total game. It hasn't worked for me so I'm going to change it up and spend more on TE and go with a cheaper WR 3 instead. I think this will give me a higher floor and also higher ceiling.pbandy1 said:
I tried some gronk lineups and didn't like them much so dropping down 2k or so to kelce, Walker and Bennett. In my WR3 I'm going with guys like Meredith, M Thomas, Woods and Hogan. This allows me to use RBs from a pool of Bell, Murray, Gurly and McCoy .

I like it. I was thinking about a Brock/Fuller stack for Sunday. For my Thurs. Squib Entry I went with the stats and a super cheap LA stack.

McCoy, Miller
T.Austin, OBJ, A.Rob

Det is coughing so many points up to Qbs and Wrs, and this is cheap enough they don't need a ton. I will go back to the Ertz well, as I like his upside still more than the others in that range.

I am going heavy on Baldwin / Wilson stack this week. For this reason you should probably re-consider

Only thing to be aware of is there could be some weather in alot of the West Coast games. It doesnt look too bad right now though. Ive actually been looking at the Chiefs D a bit for GPP. Oakland has been over performing for a few weeks now, after that miracle win against the Chargers I can see a bit of a let down this week. Add in some rain and the highest projected winds right now and I could see a special teams led upset there.
Snorkelson

I'm seeing a lot of Michael Thomas lineups- I'm not so sure I'm on board with that. Fleener has been more involved, and had Kuhn snag a td pass from him. And isn't Snead back? there's cooks too, who has had a quiet few weeks, maybe he's the play at home.

I just threw a LU into a couple Thurs-Mon that ended up with a similar projection - average is 128.6. I guess the key is Smith and a cheap WR this week. I do have a Brady and Wilson LU I am tinkering with for Sunday's slate, but did this for Thurs-Mon:
Smith
Bell, McCoy
Marshall, Sanders, Thomas
Walker
Novak

Frankly, I am not sure either. However, I am not liking any cheap options at RB and TE, so by the time I am done assembling things, most of the time I am left with 5400-5600 for a WR3. Not a ton there. Coming down to Kerley, Meredith, Thomas, Woods? In the end the tie breaker is who they have throwing them the ball, and what type of game I think it should be so Thomas has been getting the nod for the cash games.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
That's for sure. That's the downfall of playing a Thurs-Mon game and a player throws a dud - I get two days of crabbiness until the Sunday games start. There's still hope - I did have that one lineup cash with 2 0s one week, so keeping the hope alive here. I keep getting sucked in, but it's yet another example of why to stay away from the Thurs games.
KarmaPolice
Footballguy
Not if you keep telling everybody here to play him.
Was just looking and some of those % are interesting. It looks like across the sites people are paying up at RB and looking for their cheap option at WR or QB. Looks like Mathews and Riddick were the only "cheap" options that showed up at the top, but guys like Kap and Meredith were at the top of their position.
A few random observations from the list I saw (maybe there is an explanation as far as pricing goes - I don't play that site and am not familiar with it)
- Gronk and Bennett at 5% or less and Brady at 10%? I wonder if the price + not knowing who to choose is scaring people off a little.
- on TEs, I thought they would be spread out more, but people seem to be on Olsen and Walker, but Kelce and Graham were <10%
- Rbs to look at for gpp: Charles, DJ, Gurley, and Zeke.
- he is expensive and I know about their road splits, but there's can't be too many weeks that you can get AB for lower ownership. Might be worth looking into a Ben-AB stack?

Need a cheap WR3 to fill a hole in this cash lineup:
Beasley and Austin may have the best floors, while Thomas and Meredith have better ceilings.
Any thoughts?
- ASmith
- Bell, McCoy/Michael
- Cooper, Landry/Maclin, [???]
- Kelce/Walker, Haush/Crosby/Novak, Bills/Titans
- Cole Beasley
- Tavon Austin
- Robert Woods
- Michael Thomas
- Cameron Meredith

Ran into the same problem when plugging my core cash players into the IVC, seems MT is high Meredith while DD is high on Thomas so I just went with 4 Cash LU each using MT's and DD's WR3
