Doesnt Forte have a bad matchup on paper vs. Arizona? I must be missing something because he's highly ranked this week despite this.
I want to play in Thursday contests but fade the game entirely, but I feel there are key injuries to Sunday players I do want that I'll have to wait.
I see your point but he is cheap so at 5700 he won't lose your cash lineup unless he totally craters. A strategy last year was to punt a cheap WR in order to be able to use better players in cash lineups. ASJ at 4500 is an example of a punt TE.
I reeeeeeeallllly like the KC defense on Thursday (good pass rush vs crappy o-line). Santos, KC kicker, is a good play too I think. I see a lower scoring game that KC wins fairly easily.
He is cheap, but I'd rather have Benny Cunningham in that price range, especially if Tre Mason is out again. Ultimately though, RB is not a position I ever really look to punt for cash games. WR I can kind of see as it can be tougher to predict week-to-week targets and scoring from non-stud WRs. TE I can definitely see. ASJ played 59/74 snaps in week 1, I actually like him quite a bit.
Agreed. I'm definitely going to have some Thursday lineups where I fade everyone except KC defense.
Ok made a few changes...
I believe Bradford is a more accurate QB than Foles or Sanchez, and with packaged plays just for Sproles, I see his numbers improving at least a bit over last year. Therefore, his score from a horrid game last week appears to represent closer to his floor - around 12 points.
Hope this helps:
To me he's the functional equivalent to a high-end 2nd unit guy in NBA dailies -- you know he's getting the equivalent of 12 minutes of high usage at a minimum, but no more than 14 minutes barring injury or some other oddity. Those kinds of guys can have real value, but they have a pretty low floor.
I've got the exact same lineup sitting as my placeholder on Fanduel. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
It is, thank you. This non-story explains why I wasnt seeing anything on twitter about it
I feel like this is the lineup you get with the interactive value chart, if youre not putting enough weight into the context of the data that the algorithm is using. Tyrod played game 1 without the opposing coordinator having any idea what to scheme for. The Patriots arent going to have that problem, hes going to see complex defenses against much better personnel. I can envision a scenario where he hits 3x value for a GPP, but unlike last week, I can also envision a likely scenario where he doesnt hit 2x value for a cash game. Cunningham, while cheap is going against a very good defensive front 7. Im expecting like a 15 for 55 line while Foles throws for 300 against that awful secondary. Which, brings me to where Im looking this week for my cheap cash option, Foles.
I don't trust Woodhead because he had two TDs which inflated his score. If he didn't get the scores he didn't do that well.
No problem. I have strong opinions so make of them what you will. When Im wrong Im happy to miss spectacularly. My real process is envisioning each players floor, ceiling, and likely outcome for a game. Any player I think has a low floor is off my cash game considerations irregardless of what I think their ceiling is.
That is a valid point on Lacy but then again would it really surprise you to see him finish something like 15-42 0 TD? No it wouldn't. I just don't see how he would be worth the risk at that price against that defense.
I've been trying to figure out where the value is with Dallas because I think they're going to score some points. The game script has me stumped. I'm assuming Dallas will open trying to have 10:00 drives like they started doing against NYG. That screams running game/short passing game to me. When/if they fall behind I assume they'll start slinging the ball all over the field -- something Romo is very good at. And I don't think Philly's defense is particularly good, especially in the secondary.
I'm almost completely committed to rolling that trio out in my Thursday cash games, although the Julio not practicing thing gives me the specter of worry. Figure ownership percentages will be off the charts regardless. I think I can make it work well enough if I can find some value with 1 super-cheap RB. I'm leaning towards Dunbar.
Personally I'm waiting to see if OBJ can handle the coverage being thrown at him. He probably can, but I'm going with Julio this week.
Agree completely that there's some risk with Dunbar in cash games. It feels like he has a floor of 6 or 7 though because he looks like the pass-catcher out of the backfield, but that might just be me lying to myself.
