Facing Cincinnati Stack (1 Viewer)

[TheBaylorKid]

My opponent is starting a Cincinnati triple stack of Burrow, Chase, and Chase Brown, he is favored by 8.

I have Tee Higgins who is my 2nd highest projected receiver. Next highest are Jauan Jennings against Chicago and then Darnell Mooney against Minn.

The smart play is to stick with Higgins since he has the higher projected points right?

yes

Who your opponent is playing really is irrelevant and you should play the guy on your team that you believe will score the most points that particular week.

The only time it makes sense to alter your lineup based is when the week is winding down and you have more information regarding the actual results for that week. For example, going into MNF if you are down by a lot and need a big week and your opponent has a WR from one of the teams. If you had both QB's then you should play the QB not throwing to your opponents player. You need to make up points and if your QB throws to his WR you aren't doing that. You need a perfect storm to win so give yourself a better chance by picking the opposite QB. On the other hand if you were up big then you want to cover your opponents WR and play the QB throwing to him. That way you are minimizing the damage of points that WR gets because your QB gets a part of that.

Going into a week you don't have that kind of info so you should just play the players you think will score the most.
