Marky_422 1 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 Hey guys, recent subscriber to this site. Cash Lineup - Tyrod, Kamara, Melvin Gordon, Sanders, Agholor, Landry, Cook, Conner, Chargers....Pretty chalky, but wondering if anyone sees any issue with this? Wondering if I should try to fit in Yeldon, but do not really want to go away from Gordon/Kamara and Conner. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Gruden was chirping about getting more downfield shots with cooper, but that's easier said than done vs Denv, and Denv has been bad vs TEs for a bit now. I think I am leaning Cook in cash for the savings, and Kittle in gpps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarmaPolice 7,441 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 I think I am staying away from 2xs and 50/50s again this week.

Taylor, RB/ Kamara - Gordon, WR/ Sanders - Cobb [if Rodgers plays] - Agholor, TE/ Kittle, FLEX/ Conner, DEF/ LAC Close to mine. Have Landry instead of Cobb in one. Tentative lineup: QB: Taylor RB: Kamara, Gurley WR: Agholor, Landry TE: Kittle Flex: Pettis D: LAC Think Pettis is an absolute steal at 4500. Not sure I want to double dip with him and Kittle tho. I’m new to DFS so still playing around. Another one I have: QB: Roethlisberger RB: Gurley, Conner WR: Brown, Landry TE: Kittle Flex: Kupp D: LAR Love the Rams and Chargers. That won’t change in any of my lineups. Also like Kupp a lot too. Not sure I want 3 Steelers but should be a shootout. Might put Hill in for Brown.

KarmaPolice 7,441 Report post Posted September 15, 2018 My 10 man league is for the Sunday-MNF slate for some reason. I put this LU in there, plus a gpp: Jimmy G - Conner - Cook - OBJ - Julio - Pettis - Kittle - Gurley - Chicago I am still staring at my main LU for the main slate, but I think it will be similar. I don't like the Gordon news for Tyrod (or I could just be looking for excuses not to click his name), and A.Smith doesn't blow my hair back. I really like the 6-7K RBs this week, so I keep staring at them and thinking about using 3 of them in gpps and paying up at TE, QB or all 3 WRs, which might yield a different roster construction. Conner, Miller, Ajayi, AP, D.Lewis, Cook, hell even McCoy in that range, or White and Morris at sub 5K I have on my list. I have 10 spots reserved for the 25cent gpp, and the current placeholder is: Watson - Cook - Crowell - Julio - Hopkins - Tate - Reed - A.Morris - Jets as I think about this idea and build.

We knew they'd be higher cuts because FLEX > K, but they won't be that high going forward. My Lu hit last week, and cashed 3 of the 4 of those contests I entered, and the small gpp. The ones I cashed in, the next closest were in the 130s-140s in those 3 and 5 mans Variable for sure, but I think I would rather take a shot at those vs a 50/50 where we have a good guess what the LUs will look like - especially if I want a slightly different build than what I think will be out there. I dipped my toe in them a little last year, and liked them a little more than 2xs and 50/50s because I don't enjoy feeling like I have to do a similar build to keep up with the masses in a 2x.

reel_smooth 73 Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Not bad choices there either; I think that's what's in my other cash LU. But when it's all said and done, based on volume alone, I think Coleman hits cash game value and has GPP upside. Of course, I've been wrong before, but, I feel very good about him.

It's so tempting though, especially with the short football season! Probably better to wait the first 3-4 weeks to get some good trends to look at.
