Draftkings Core 4 (1 Viewer)

[SwampDawg]

Always love the bit that Jeff Manns does on Fridays on Sirius with his Core 4 (1QB, 1 RB, 1WR, 1TE) to build your lineups around. With the collective knowledge here I thought it would be fun to see if we had a consensus here in the forum we could come up with.

To clarify it isn't just picking the highest scoring player at each position, you have to take cost/value into consideration and it may just be a great value that then lets you pick between some high price guys you want. For example I am working on mine for the Sunday only slate and I'm starting with Tyler Higbee at TE. Mid Tier price but great opportunity with Kupp out and the defense that was ranked second to last against TE's last season.

Who was his 4

 

[Coachhow]

I love Dotson from Commanders on FanDuel - cheap ($6100), explosive and seemed to have great rapport with QB all pre-season

I guess its showtime wherein we get to see if all the Howell / Bienemie (sp?) hype is real or not...

 

[TheBigHouse]

Who was his 4

Sometimes he updates it on Sunday, but as of Friday it was:
QB - R. Wilson
RB - Bijan
WR - Tyreek
TE - Higbee

 

[Coachhow]

Who’s his 4 for this week?

 

[TheBigHouse]

Week 2 (for the record, he picks based on FanDuel pricing)
QB - Mahomes
RB - Z. Moss
WR - Diggs
TE - LaPorta

 

[Coachhow]

Mahomes is pricey but with Kelce back, might pay off. Not sure why Z Moss is a go to, doesn’t get GL work.

 

[TheBigHouse]

Apparently he has replaced Moss with Kelley this morning

 

[SwampDawg]

Anyone catch this weeks? I missed it Friday and Sirius isn't letting me replay it.

 

[TheBigHouse]

Herbert
Bijan
Waddle (if playing)
Ertz

I’m trying to find who he replaced Waddle with

 

[TheBigHouse]

He totally changed it

Mahomes
Kelley
Jefferson
LaPorta

 

[SwampDawg]

So I use the Friday Core 4 as my starting point, sometimes I use all 4, sometimes 3 or this past week I used 2 (Herbert and Ertz) although I did use Jefferson without knowing he had switched to him.. Been playing two $10 single entry double ups and one $3 single entry GPP each week. Week 1 hit both double up, week 2 hit both double ups, week 3 hit both double ups and cashed in the GPP for $10. Happy so far, might start moving one of the $10 double ups to a $25.

Week 6:

Stafford
Bijan
Pittman
Hockenson

I'm using 3 of the 4 (Stafford, Bijan, Pittman), went down to Engram at TE who he also mentioned so I could do a little better else were. Against his advice I am using Mostert, I just see a huge ownership percentage in cash games and on DK the price is too good.

 

[TheBigHouse]

lol, I did the same with Engram in a couple of alternate entries.

 

[eoMMan]

Week 6:

Stafford
Bijan
Pittman
Hockenson

No offense, but you guys might want find a new guy to follow. The top people in the industry all had Mostert as the best RB cash play (which was shown in his 90% ownership in my $10 double today). Bijan wasn’t a horrible play but…

Is this guy just trying to be different?

 

[TheBigHouse]

after 5 profitable weeks, last week was a downer, time to get back on the horse:

Herbert
Gibbs (paid down at RB so he could go after….)
Kupp
Pitts

 

[TheBigHouse]

Week 8:

Burrow
B. Hall
Ja’Marr
Kittle

 

[TheBigHouse]

Week 9:

Week 13:

Hurts
Z. Moss
Tyreek
Juwan Johnson

 

[eoMMan]

Week 13:

Hurts
Z. Moss
Tyreek
Juwan Johnson

Moss is such a free square this week. Lots of people love Tyreek too. Both will be super heavy owned in cash.

 

[TheBigHouse]

Week 14:

J. Allen (over pay down option Browning)
Z. Moss (over Bijan or Ekeler)
R. Rice (over Ja’Marr or DJ Moore. Also high on Godwin)
