NFL Draftkings Week 16

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Here is what I’m rolling with this week. There is enough value out there you can pay up to Mahomes at QB this week, but I’m going with Hurts and that rushing upside against the Dallas D. And then we have a bunch of guys I keep playing in the wrong weeks–David Johnson, Tim Patrick, DJ Moore. They have all had good weeks, seemingly anytime I don’t play them. So my solution apparently is just to always play. Godert is my hurts stack as that salary has come down on him. And … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 16

NFL Draftkings Week 15

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Single lineup this week as I plow through my to-do list and play catch up on some house/personal stuff this morning. Doing something this week you absolutely should not do: playing a bunch of high ownership guys in smaller GPP tournaments. Hilton, Mahomes, Kamara, Hockenson and Aiyuk all project to be 10-20 percent owned this week. In fact, the only low-owned guy in this lineup is probably Gallup. And yes, I paid up for the Rams, who should be the most popular defense to own as they face the Jets. Make no … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 15

NFL Draftkings Week 14

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Cash on the left, Early slate only on the right. Players in both: Tim Patrick, Jordan Akins. Both are basically last men standing in depleated offenses. Switched it up a bit this week as I have an Early games only lineup, along with my cash play. Early slate was for a Mission complete on Draftkings. Wilson has been cold for a few weeks. Well, enter the Jets. I actually think they might cover the 14-point spread, and Wilson won’t be able to put it in the tank after halftime. Yeah, I know … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 14

NFL Draftkings Week 13

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Cash on the left, GPP on the right. Players in both: Dalvin Cook, Austin Ekeler, Robert Woods. I also have a different cheap Bears receiver in both. Cook is beat up, but the Vikings have the highest projected team score of the week and are 10 point favorites. Firsker is the cheap punt play of the week, at just $2,500 with Jonnu Smith out for the Titans. Only takes a couple catches for him to hit value. In GPP, it generally doesn’t make sense to play a Defense facing your quarterback and … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 13

NFL Draftkings Week 12

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Just cash for me this week as I got a late start and won’t get a chance to look at low ownership plays. Thanks to value found throughout today, I was able to pay up at QB for Mahomie and at RB with Cook and TE with Kelce. All of those guys will be around 30 percent owned, but it is a rare week you can afford all three and be comfortable elsewhere. Hill and Hines are lower dollar guys getting opportunities with backfield mates out–Gurley in Atlanta and Taylor in Indy. … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 12

NFL Draftkings Week 11

Apologies on not getting this up before the noon kickoffs. I got a workout in this morning and am running behind. Here is what I’m looking at this week. Just cash for me this week. I’ll go on record as saying Jameis Winston probably should have gotten the starting nod over Taysom Hill. I don’t think Hill works as a fulltime quarterback. But, if they are rolling with him, I’m gonna bank on him getting enough rushing yards to make is usable as a cheap QB. Cook will be highly owned, Gibson medium-owned in the 5-10% range. Tyler Boyd will … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 11

NFL Draftkings Week 10

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Two line-ups once again. On the left is my cash lineup, with GPP on the right. Rolling once again with the rookie QB in both lineups. This is a high-risk, low ownership play as he should be less than five percent owned against a top 10 pass defense from the Dolphins. Mike Davis is almost autoplay at that price with McCaffery out again. And then I’m counting on the Packers and Steelers. I have Jones/Adams in both lineups, as well as Diontay Johnson. Then, in my GPP, I double up on Pittsburgh … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 10

DraftKings Lineup Week 6

Here is what I’m playing this week. The highest predicted team score of the week is the Minnesota Vikings, with 28.5, against Atlanta. I’m skipping over Kirk Cousins this week, however, and going with three lineups with three quarterbacks from that next tier down in Vegas totals, two from the same game. Cash Game Lineup QB Ryan Tannehill vs. Texans $5,900 RB Derrick Henry vs. Texans $7,300 RB Alexander Mattison vs. Falcons $7,200 WR Adam Thielen vs. Falcons $7,300 WR Terry McLaurin vs. Giants $5,700 WR AJ Brown vs. Texans $5,600 TE Irv Smith Jr. vs. Falcons $2,500 FLEX Jonathon … Continue reading DraftKings Lineup Week 6

DraftKings Lineup Week 5

Here is what I’m playing this week. Reminder, I play mostly cash games. There are three games with a Vegas total of 54 or higher this week, so much of this week’s success is going to be picking the correct one of those three to stack in all likelihood. QB Patrick Mahomes vs. Raiders $7,700 RB Josh Jacobs vs. Chiefs $6,300 RB David Johnson vs. Jaguars $5,200 WR Tyreek Hill vs. Raiders $6,900 WR Darius Slayton vs. Cowboys $4,800 WR Brandin Cooks vs. Jaguars $4,100 TE Darren Waller vs. Raiders $5,900 FLEX Kareem Hunt vs. Colts $6,500 DEF Texans vs. … Continue reading DraftKings Lineup Week 5
