I don't like this as a single GPP shot. If you're running multiple teams, sure. By itself, I wouldn't run this by itself.
QB - I don't like the DAL/ATL game for lots of points. Thusly, I don't like the Ryan/Julio play
RB - I have some Bell, but I don't want to be all in on him. Too many questions: spot, workload, opponent, etc
I'm lukewarm on Gordon. I tend to avoid road dogs. Especially when they are in a committee.
WR - Julio, see above.
Moncrief I like a lot this week
Smith could be a good sneaky play. "Must win" game for BAL. Cincy hasn't exactly excelled against them.
TE - Don't like this play at all. Very limited upside, IMO.
K - he plays kicker
DST - Usually like to get some correlation with my DST. Like taking either an RB or returner to have some positive correlation. They could have a good game especially if Brees sits.

I will have ZERO Travis Benjamin this week. He's a "big play" boom/bust player. McCown isn't exactly a good QB for those types of players. Manziel is much better. He hasn't ran many routes and has so few targets, I want nothing to do with Benjamin.

I've said it before, but Carson Palmer is money at QB. I have a lineup where I'm pairing him with John Brown. I love that SF has given up big plays and Brown is a big play WR. Sooner or later, Brown is going to convert those PI calls into big plays. As long as Brown's healthy, he's a threat for a HUGE game. He's sporting a 7% ownership in the Thursday Bomb.

As mentioned elsewhere, I think PIT is in a bad spot this weekend. I'm (at my own risk) fading Brown and Rapelisberger.

Love Charles. People seem to forget that Matt Forte had an insane game against GB Week 1. I also think the KC spot is much better than the betting market is giving them. GB is off a tough game vs SEA. KC has had 10 days to mull over their 2nd half loss to Denver at home. I also like the AP and Freeman picks.

Playing Sunday early only and Rolling with bortles in all 10 lineups. Patriots D isn't all that great and I think the Bortles-Robinson combo is in for a big day. Als LOVE Latvius Murray this week

If they gave points for every 10 yards of a PI call, John Brown would probably be a top 5 WR. It's unreal how good of a deep threat he is already

[Athey49]

In the cheap $1 game on Fanduel, I'm rolling with Gary Barnidge at TE. Until the Raiders stop a TE, I'll keep rolling against them. Bigger entries I'm going with more established tight ends but with Barnidge I can afford Brady, AP, Latavius, Moncrief, E. Sanders, A. Robinson, and Houston D.
For $300 less than the Hawks D, I love the Houston play.

[Brobocop]

I'm jumping aboard the Carson Palmer train as well. I think I'm going to go this route:

QB C. PALMER
RB J. CHARLES
RB D. SPROLES
WE J. BROWN
WR J. EDELMAN
WR S. WATKINS
TW H. MILLER
FLEX A. PETERSON
DST BRONCOS

$0 LEFT

Still trying to figure out the best ways to do this so I'm always open to any ideas.

Torrey Smith Jr. People would lose their minds if you got credit for PI calls. I think it's an interesting add...

GPP I believe, nothing too crazy, $10 at most spread over a few Draft Kings contests. I don't have that high of faith in myself quite yet to go any further than that in terms of money. I have more fun reading all the articles and opinions actually.

Generally, I almost always have a receiver (WR/TE) as my Flex... The PPR makes it more desirable to have the volatility of a receiver in that slot. I like RB's in cash because they're more "projectable" in terms of points/value. That said, I like your lineup aside from that.

Quite the gambler running Blount out. It could certainly pay off as I doubt he has any significant ownership with so many being on the Dion Lewis train.

[Devi8or]

I've got the following so far

Luck
AP
Jamaal Charles
Moncrief
Golden Tate
Doug Baldwin
Jordan Reed
Nick Folk
Patriots


Carson Palmer
Leveon Bell
Dion Lewis
Julio Jones
Josh Brown
James Jones
Jordan Reed
Hauschka
Seahawks

[ssbledsoe]

My FD Cash Lineup for Thursday:
Palmer
Charles
Freeman
Edelman
Marshall
Fitzgerald
Reed
Gostkowski
Denver DST

I have Palmer/Fitz on a few teams, could Fitzgerald be consistent enough?

[Skootown]

Dwayne Allen officially OUT this week

Fleener could be a steal at $3,000 on DK. Picked him up to start in real fantasy as well. 3 TDs in 2 games against TEN last year.

Fitz may be old, but he's playing REALLY well. He also has more catches (14) than anyone else on the team has targets (John Brown is second with 12 targets). My only worry about him having a "huge" game is that Tramaine Brock will the CB covering him most of the game. Brock has played pretty well this year based on PFF's ratings.
Fitz "will get his." While I don't think his ceiling is terribly high, I do think he makes a nice cash play with a 7-8 point floor (5-6 rec and 50 or so yards) with the likelihood hovering around the necessary 13ish points to make cash game value.

Damn, Fleener is $4,900 on FD
