I like them both as well. Have this lineup with McCown in my 1pm slate (only using games that start at 1pm). I like playing that because when 4pm rolls around I already have one completed. Went with McCown over Cutler but don't think you can go wrong with either, just harder to fit Cutler

QB - Josh McCown
RB - Isaiah Crowell
RB - LeSean McCoy
WR - Mike Evans
WR - Reggie Wayne
WR - Roddy White
TE - Coby Fleener
FLEX - Shane Vereen
DST - Eagles


If your going with McCown then to me your going with Evans. Bears are terrible against the WR and Evans is blowing up. Crowell I expect will be heavily owned but he's so cheap that with the matchup you getting value there. This is the last ride for McCoy for me. If he can't get a quality start against the Titans then it won't ever happen this year. Wayne is the most targeted WR on the Colts in what's expected to be a bounce back game for them this week. Can't help but use White with Julio sick with the flu and struggling the past five weeks, Fleener without Allen has the chance for a great game and someone other then TY Hilton (couldn't fit in this team) and Wayne is going to score points, and Vereen is a pass catching RB who I think is in line for a good game against the Lions pass rush. Eagles is just a hunch for Defense, they have a great pass rush against a rookie QB on the road in what looks to be a blowout.

I think the Rams D is the way to go this week for the value

[bkovach06]

The Browns are fighting for a playoff spot, Gordon will not be on a "pitch count". I'm not gauging anything off preseason, he knew he was being suspended so I feel he let up. Falcons may have hit under but the Browns D is nothing short of pathetic and will likely be missing Dansby and Sheard as well. With that said, Gordon's ownership was way too high on Thursday tournaments for my liking, he may be well into the 20's or even 30's. I'm fading too but not because I think he will have a bad game, just going with a contrarian pick that may be less owned

The public is going to have way too much Josh Gordon this week, and Gordon well could be on a snap count in the game. Also many don't look at it enough but I can't help but notice the difference in Gordon's preseasons from this and last year. Last year Gordon was tearing it up in preseason and this year he was shut down and didn't look like the same person.

With the high ownership and his price tag in GPP I think your better off fading Gordon then playing him. It's not like Gordon was priced that much down this week on the sites either so you might be getting a little extra value at 6300 on Draftkings and 7800 on fanduel but it's not that much to me to want to play such a heavily owned player this week in tournaments. If he meets expectations for the price or goes below them then a huge advantage is there for the fade.

As for the game over under I think its close. Falcons last 5 hit the under, and they haven't played a game at home in a month. Most points Browns have scored on the road this year in a game was 29 but most recent game was getting blown out at home against the Texans and then pulling off a surprise upset in Cincinnati in that rain soaked windy mess on Thursday night football. Browns are 2-2 with a loss to the Jaguars on the road and seem to be unpredictable to me. Can't trust this situation with the Browns and the Falcons are a mess too. There is a huge cold/flu sickness invading that teams locker room right now and keeping people like Julio Jones from practicing. I personally am staying away from this game for the reasons I stated.

That was a 1pm lineup card I posted. Rams play the late game so I couldn't use them

Fighting for a playoff spot is thrown out the door for me when you realize that the Falcons are in 1st place in that division now and closer to the playoffs then the Browns are. If your making an argument like that and not including the home team as well then its thrown out the door. It fits both teams and give me the advantage to the home team here since they haven't played at home in over a month. Narrative street says trust the home team between playoff hopefuls and that includes Chicago

As for Gordon not being on a "pitch count" do you have something newer then what the head coach said?

Josh Gordon eager to do whatever the Browns need

"We're going to have him on a pitch count," head coach Mike Pettine said. "There needs to be a progression. The trap to fall into is, 'Hey, he's back and let's just go ahead and throw him out there for a bunch of plays.' There's certainly danger inherent in doing that and we have to be smart with how we do it and have a plan to progress through the week."

I never said that I thought Gordon was going to have a bad game

[bkovach06]

Well I watch the Browns every Sunday and their offense is very stagnant at times. When Mack went down, the running game has been nonexistent. I understand what Pettine said but I think that goes out the door come tomorrow. Falcons are in the NFC so that does not matter to me??? Browns need to win this game to remain in the playoff conversation OR we will be seeing Johnny sooner rather than later

This is my lineup for now, have not decided on K and DST yet

Luck
Murray
Crowell
Watkins
Wayne
Hurns
Fleener

[addicted36]

Fleener and Crowell will be very highly used this week.

Here are some lineups I made with Luck this week on draft kings. On Fandual I went with Brady over Luck simply because it seems as if too many people are off of Brady this week in a great match up but everyone is loving Gronk and Vereen and even Lafell but if they are going to have a good game then Brady will too. It seems to be the better contrarian play for paying up for a QB. OK Draft Kings I am using Luck in two lineups

Lineup - 1

Andrew Luck
Rashad Jennings
LeSean McCoy
T.Y. Hilton
Allen Hurns
Sammy Watkins
Niles Paul
Roddy White
Eagles

and

Line up - 2

Andrew Luck
Isaiah Crowell
Rashad Jennings
Demaryius Thomas
Sammy Watkins
Reggie Wayne
Niles Paul
Torrey Smith
Bills


I'm going with an either or game, being that either TY or Wayne will be the better handcuff and I don't ever trust 5'9" receivers so will be the first time this year I am playing TY Hilton but against the Jags I think you want some exposure to this game. All GPP plays.

[bkovach06]

I just completely redid my lineup, winning GPP (which is 90% what I play) is all about contrarian picks. I faded Fleener and Murray and came up with this, which I like more than my last lineup:

Luck
Shady
Crowell (Heavily owned but will get the carries and match up is favorable)
Sammy Watkins
Keenan Allen
Greg Jennings
Jimmy Graham

I think Luck is the #1 rated QB, him or Rodgers. I'm hoping the price tag makes people shy away from Luck a little, especially with Rodgers/Manning below him.

Greg Jennings? I am with you on the other guys but Im scratching my head at that pick

[TexAggie_2014]

This if my first week playing:


McCown
D. Robinson (Not the Spurs basketball player)
I. Crownwelll
A.J Green
Reggie Wayne
Josh Gordon
Coby Fleener
Billy Cundiff
Bills D/ST

I partial on Shady or D. Robinson, I think Robinson might do better because shady has to spit carries with D. Sporles, and he's be underproducing.
Although the titans have the worst Run D in the league (32nd)


Just playing around with it i got:
McCown
D. Robinson
I. Cornwell
A.J. Green
B. Marshall
R. Wayne
Fleener
Cundiff
Bills

I think i'll stick with this lineup instead

[addicted36]

Agree with this, unless you want to go cheaper and use VJax. My issue with using Evans is this would make his 4th week in a row that he would blow up and post 100+ yards to justify that price tag. I have a hard time thinking he can do that. My guess is Chicago shifts coverage to him and open up Jackson but he's no longer the guy many of us remember who any week could post up 150 and multiple TD's which is sad to me. We used to know Jackson as an every week starter regardless of matchups but that was a long time ago and makes me feel old thinking about it

[bkovach06]

I am fading Evans, Chicago will be keyed in on him and he will see double coverages all day. Look for Sefarian Jenkins or V Jax to have a good game instead

[Ajax1723]

Well Luck is trying to make sure I don't win any money this week.

It's not as much Luck as it his the horrid o-line.

[addicted36]

Not looking like a good week for me with these early results

[bkovach06]

Marshall was a BUST, that hurts

[eaglescubs555]

Doing well so far. Sanchez did alright and had Crowell in everything.

[Ajax1723]

Same, I may not cash at all in any league today, even 50/50s. Got killed by Luck in one lineup, and the non-existence of Fleener and Hurns in the other.

[eaglescubs555]

Cashing in on 7/8 right now, 3 in the millionaire, 3 50/50's, 1 h2h and 1 other gpp. If Sammy Watkins has a good game and Bills D does well I think I will profit.

[eaglescubs555]

and Keenan Allen just scored from a Rivers pass! Make it 8/8 I am cashing in woooooo!

[Mrpokey]

I'm looking good in my games, but I'd be great if Ryan Matthews and Antonio Gates got involved. Matthews started very strong, but hurt his shoulder and is out now Go Antonio Gates

[Athey49]

Having the Philly kicker definitely helped me today, need a good game from ingram and should eeasily make the money

[bkovach06]

Yeah, always good when your kicker gets you 21

miiiiiiiight cash, need a good game from flacco/watkins/graham
