At first glance on FD....(All for GPPs)
Overall: GB vs. DAL is so juicy, you have to get some action on that game. But I expect the horde to be stacking that game, I will take a few shots at that game but focus most of my attention on finding a QB stack in another game that is less owned.
- I like Flacco and will have some action on him, but Wilson is only $400 more expensive and has less expensive WRs/TE to stack. The Wilson stack ends up being cheaper and has just as much upside.
- It makes a lot of sense to fade Manning this week. He limped into the post season with some of his worst stat lines in years. Denver seems focused on running the ball to shorten the game and Indy is vulnerable to the run. CJ Anderson and Hillman might both be in play if the Broncos get up early and chooses to pound the ball. Which of course means I will stack up Manning and the pass catchers in a couple of line up. P. Manning at home versus a suspect defense, do not over think it. Just grab some action on Jughead.
- Herron is cheap, but if he fumbles again will they bench him? Big risk/reward play. I like big risk/reward plays in GPPs.
- Vereen makes a nice punt at RB. I will likely run a couple line ups with Herron/Vereen at RB(especially on full PPR sites)
- When I pay up for RB, it will mostly be for Murray. Yes, the masses will be on him but sometimes the masses are right.
- WR is brutal. 3 top tier guys and 3 second tier guy and then a big mess in the middle with no one looking very good to in the 5.5k and under range for anything but a stack flyer. Outside of the top 6 I like LaFell and Baldwin the most, but I am still working on WR.
- Gronk. He is expensive, but has as high a ceiling as any of the top tier WRs for 1k less. Next step down is Witten/J. Thomas, then Allen, then Tim Wight or Luke Wilson if I want to punt the position. Any other TE I play will just be for a stack with the QB.
Right now I am looking running 2-3 stacks for GB/DAL, 2-3 R. Wilson stacks(1 with Wilson naked), 2 Flacco stacks(each with one of the Smiths), 1-2 Mannings stacks, 1 Brady stack and might do a Luck line up(might stack it, might run him naked). I love Cam, especially in GPPs, but this week just seems like too much of a stretch.
