I am, not only in daily fantasy but also in "regular" leagues. I'm fading him in my cash lineups, but will likely roll him out in some of my GPP action.

Thanks for looking over my lineup. I will look for another Defense. I didn't see that and I do like New Orleans this week, so maybe I go that route.
Thanks again!

Thanks! This being my first weekend of DFS, I"m not sure how I will do, but I feel pretty confident. They make it sound so easy...lol. All I have to do is get in the top half of a 100 field. I think I can do that. We will see soon enough.
Thanks again,
Jim
There are larger double ups than 100 people. Some of the large double ups have thousands of people and generally those have lower cut lines.

Definitely tougher to build lineups this week. Think I'm going 50% Bradford, 40% Palmer, 10% Foles in cash lineups. Then building around that with a lot of Brown/Odell/Julio/JMatt/Garcon/Fitzgerald at WR. TE is a toss up. I'd be pretty much 100% Gronk if he weren't going up against Rex, but I think I'll still end up with about 35% Gronk. Filling in the rest with some undetermined %s of ASJ, Heath, Marty B, Olsen.
Seriously no clue yet at RB. Guys I'm considering: Ingram, Hill, Abdullah, Forte, Forsett, Hyde, Stewart. Ready to move big on Karlos Williams and Benny Cunningham given injury news tomorrow morning.
That's where I'm at with it right now though. Feeling solid at QB and WR, still developing my strategy everywhere else.

Fanduel pricing is kind of tricky as I have mentioned. I do think there is merit to having 2 maybe 3 cash lineups. The only thing is that if you have 2 or more, you should probably make them roughly the same in share %. Then you are looking at winning 2 out of the 3 to have a positive ROI.

Can someone give me the odds on the McCoy/Karlos status tomorrow? Going to a wedding tonight in the French Quarter. Real good chance I get wrecked tonight and won't be in shape to make cohesive lineup changes in the morning. I'm currently fading the whole situation but Karlos looks like great value if he's the only guy.

McCoy participated in individual drills yesterday. It sounds like he will play some number of snaps, but nothing Ive heard speaks to how many or how effective he will be with them.
Tennessee_ATO
Footballguy
That's basically what I heard. Karlos is so cheap that he opens up some really interesting plays elsewhere. I can easily build a lineup w/ the big 3 WR and Gronk if I use him. Feels like he's got an OK floor even if McCoy starts.
If I didn't think I could make changes in the morning I think I would stick with fading the situation. Looks McCoy will play and if he does I cant see gambling on Williams.

Which lineup do you like better in cash?
This was HeadChopper's lineup recommendation in his Chopping Block video on RG
Bradford
Marshawn
Ingram
Julio
Matthews
Terrance
ASJ
Josh Brown
Rams
My a variation of mine
Bradford
Forsett
Ingram
Julio
Matthews
Cooks
ASJ
Josh Brown
Carolina
I find Hyde and Terrance the tricky cash options as they will be well owned, probably Hyde more so. Lynch is the safer cash play than Forsett but Forsett could have just as good of a game and you get Cooks. Cooks has a higher floor than Terrance but if a lot of people are on Terrance that could make Cooks a subpar play.

I like your version better for cash. Hard to have a higher floor than Ingram and Forsett.Fantasysports1 said:
FWIW, I believe Beasley is the play for Dallas. The starting CB's for Philly are more the taller/bigger type, and they were playing a safety at nickel last week. Small and quick is the better matchup.
The Philly ILB's (Kendricks and Alanso) are excellent in coverage which takes away Witten.

Is one of the big 3 Matthews? If not, how are you freeing up the approx 1600 needed to get ODB?Tennessee_ATO said:

Pats D a sneaky play on the cheap this week. Belicheck with extra time to prepare for a young QB. I'm rolling them in some cash and GPP.

I'm the cautious type. I pulled him from my lineup in one league, but in another league I got Powell off the Waiver Wire, just in case he's out.

looks like Shady is a go today.

Yeah, Matthews, not ODB. I meant in terms of likely big ownership, not salary.
I am amazed by how little love ODB seems to be getting tho.

Nursing a massive hangover so I'm a little fuzzy. This is the cash lineup I've been tinkering with all morning. I think this feels ok but I'm not confident in my cognitive abilities right now
Tyrod
Ingram
Hyde
Antonio
Stevie
Fitzgerald
Gronk
Catanzaro
Rams
I think all the talk about Ryan being able to stop Gronk is a bunch of hooey. Since Gronk started Gronking he's been better than his average against Ryan's defenses. Buffalo's certainly got the personnel to do things but I have a feeling Brady will be under pressure and need the underneath stuff.

My ESPN league has the following on Forsett. He seems fine to me. He's listed as Probable for the game.
Forsett (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game in Oakland, CSN Bay Area reports.
Spin:
Forsett logged full practices Thursday and Friday, following Wednesday's limited session. He's locked in as the Ravens' lead back, but with Lorenzo Taliaferro (knee) listed as probable, Forsett won't necessarily get the goal-line and short-yardage work.
Good luck this weekend all,
Jim

Alshon officially out now I think. Seems like Bennett may get a bump, no?
I agree a bit of a bump to Bennett and Forte. Wilson gets a bump to but he still isn't more than a shot in the dark low ownership play in GPP IMO. Royal may be shadowed by Peterson so I don't think I would go there. While against a stud, Peterson doesn't scare me, Royal isn't a stud.

Bennett's salary is an odd fit for my lineups that don't already include him. I'm either up at Gronk or down in the Rudolph/ASJ range. I am rolling Witten in a cash lineup, but I like him better than Bennett regardless.
My highest exposure right now is to:
Julio
Stevie Johnson
Hyde
Forte
After that it's a pretty big drop.

This is my second week at DFS. I know I am making a mistake by having way to many line-ups. Oh well, at least its fun to tinker. I need to limit myself to 2-3 line ups max I think.
IMO, cash games, its most profitable to have one lineup. You need to diversify exposure if you are planning on rolling out more than one lineup.

The bulk of my line ups has either has at:
qb: Palmer or Brees
rb: Abdullah/Lynch/Lacy/Ingram
wr Matthews/Fitz/Cooks/Green with Brown/OBJ/Julio sprinkled in a few.
te: ASJ
k: Zuerlin/Brown
DEF: Rams/Titans.

Not a bad GPP play, but I have a feeling he'll be a LOT of peoples sneaky GPP play, making him not so sneaky.
