Just going to post my GPP FanDuel thoughts here guys. Hope you don't mind.
Fading all Chargers, including the low-priced kicker Lambo. Wasn’t going to use Rivers or Keenan Allen anyways, but a lot of people are jumping on Melvin Gordon or Danny Woodhead as GPP plays. They could still put up respectable numbers, but they have a lot of injuries on the O-line, and I think this could be an ugly, close game. Dunlap (T) is out, Franklin (OG) is out, Watt © is doubtful, Fluker (OG) is questionable on a gimpy ankle. Hell, I could even see the Browns winning this one, because that is how football works sometimes. Duke Johnson could be a good play here.
Fading Buffalo Bills except Karlos Williams for cash games. While Harvin and Clay are certainly putting up decent numbers and Taylor has been playing great, Watkins is out and Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie is back. I just get a weird gut feeling about this game, I feel like the Giants can win this one, even if it is an away game. I mean, the Vegas Odds can’t be ALL correct every week, right? There are always a few upsets.
QB/Stacks I like:
If Luck plays, I’ll throw him into a GPP. Just not sure who to stack with him. Not really feeling Moncrief or Hilton this week. #### it, I’ll go with Fleener, oh lawd.
Eli Manning/ODB. While it is a tough match-up, ODB should still be peppered with targets and it is a high over/under. Eli will have to keep throwing and his completion percentage has actually been pretty good, would be even better without all the drops by his teammates.
Russell Wilson/Doug Baldwin. I like this stack if this game can be relatively close, which it may not be because Stafford/the Lions have been awful. Baldwin
I can't get behind Kaepernick. His play was just too awful last week. Maybe the return of Reggie Bush can help him out.
RBs I like:
Matt Forte. Even though the Bears are huge under-dogs, Forte is a beast and the Raiders still stink against the run (besides Mack). He should catch a ton of passes. The Bears fan in me think this is a game we could steal at home.
Eddie Lacy. Rodgers/other receivers will likely have high ownership, but Lacy could be in for a multi-TD game. While the Packers will win, the 49ers always play them tough and they are at home. Could be a game where Lacy keeps getting the ball. Always the possibility that he catches a pass out of the backfield and takes it to the end zone like last year.
Jonathan Stewart. While his YPC has been average, the past 3 teams have stacked 8 in the box knowing the sub-par WRs that the Panthers have, and Newton has made them pay. The Bucs may be hesitant to do this now, and they are legitimately bad against the run. If Tolbert (he is banged up a bit too) doesn’t vulture, I could see 130 yds and 2 TDs.
Other WRs I like:
Demaryius Thomas. Always a good bet for 11+ targets and a touchdown. Match-up is about average against the Vikings, but his upside at the price of $8500 is appealing.
Deandre Hopkins. I like this play regardless if Foster goes or not. Houston runs a TON of plays per game, Hopkins is the #1 and Mallett throws a ton. While Mallett is bad, he has a good O-line and the ATL pass rush is sub-par. While CB Trufant is awesome at his job, Hopkins lines up everywhere.
Allen Robinson. He will likely be paired up against Vontae Davis, I know. But Davis has been beat recently, and maybe he doesn't shadow Robinson all game? Regardless, they’ll need to keep throwing. If Bortles has time to throw (they have been giving up less sacks this year), I feel like Robinson’s talent can win out against Davis. Price is good, $6500.
Michael Crabtree. Pretty simple. Carr has been playing good, Crabtree is getting targets (in the redzone too), and CB Kyle Fuller has been not good. TDs could go to Latavius Murray and Amari Cooper, though.
Going with Nelson Agholor instead of Jordan Matthews. Huge punt play because of his lack of production, but if Agholor has any talent, this is the week to show it because of the injuries to the Redskins secondary. He is priced at $4900 and still playing on nearly 90% of snaps! Something's gotta give.
Robert Woods. I know I said above I was fading all Bills players except Karlos Williams, but this kind of makes sense. Watkins is out, and I don't think Clay and Harvin will get all the targets. Woods is still a talented slot receiver and besides the CB Rodgers-Cromartie, the Giants secondary isn't scary.
TEs I like:
Travis Kelce. 1/4th of the ownership of Olsen, still gets ton of targets, should be a close game.
Coby Fleener. Only if Luck plays. Don't care if Dwayne Allen plays or not. Hilton and Moncrief are popular plays but the Jaguars CBs are actually OK, but I can see Fleener finding some room, especially in the endzone.
