Always check back at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday for any last minute changes.
Update: Lineup 2, Jackson and the Falcons have been exchanged for Benjamin and the Broncos. Just like Denver and their match up a lot better. They are worth the change.
Don’t love many RB match ups this week outside of the top guys. My lineups will reflect that. Let’s draft!
Safe Lineups (50/50s)
| Pos | Player | Opp | Salary | |
| QB | Eli Manning | SF@NYG | $6,800 | |
| RB | Le’Veon Bell | Pit@SD | $8,500 | |
| RB | Jamaal Charles | Chi@KC | $7,800 | |
| WR | O. Beckham Jr. | SF@NYG | $9,000 | |
| WR | L. Hankerson

Was@Atl | $4,000 | |

Den@Oak | $2,700 | |
| FLEX | Delanie Walker | Buf@Ten | $3,800 | |
| DST | Giants | SF@NYG | $2,900 |
Manning to Beckham should be a nice combo against a 49ers D that is showing the wear and tear of a brutal off-season. Bell should be solid every week but we might have to temper expectations until Big Ben gets back. Charles should do it all at home against the Bears. No reason he shouldn’t go off this week. Probably cursing myself but he looks like one of the safest plays of the week.
Hankerson and the Falcons should dominate the terrible Washington passing D. Hurns has been great lately and no reason to think the Bucs will slow him down. Oakland has been a red carpet for TEs this season so Daniels is worth the cheap-ish gamble. Walker should be fine at home against the constant blitz of the Bills. I expect Mariota to try to find him quickly for a lot of short stuff. And the Giants should win their game and have the 49ers playing from behind. I’ll take my chances on them in that scenario.
| Pos | Player | Opp | Salary | |
| QB | Matt Ryan | Was@Atl | $6,700 | |
| RB | Dion Lewis | NE@Dal | $4,800 | |
| RB | Joseph Randle | NE@Dal | $6,000 | |
| WR | Vincent Jackson | Jax@TB | $5,000 | |
| WR | Julio Jones

Was@Atl | $9,200 | |
| WR | Allen Robinson | Jax@TB | $5,500 | |
| TE | Delanie Walker | Buf@Ten | $3,800 | |
| FLEX | Justin Forsett | Cle@Bal | $5,800 | |
| DST | Falcons | Was@Atl | $3,200 |
I already mentioned how I like the Falcons passing attack this week so Ryan to Jones should be a good combo. Lewis hasn’t been stopped yet and no reason to think he won’t get his against the Cowboys. Randle should get a ton of work with Dunbar now out. The match up looks a little bad but the volume should be there and I would think Dallas will try to slow the game down with him behind their O line.
Winston only had eyes for Jackson last week and I think that continues. Starting to wonder if Evans is 100%… Gambling with Robinson in a lineup as well this week. Better match up for him and I think he goes off against the Bucs. Forsett should catch a ball or a few this week so he’ll be fine. And if the Falcons get up early, I’ll take them at home against Cousins being forced to throw any week.
Swing for the Fences Lineup
| Pos | Player | Opp | Salary | |
| QB | Sam Bradford | NO@Phi | $6,000 | |
| RB | Jamaal Charles | Chi@KC | $7,800 | |
| RB | Danny Woodhead | Pit@SD | $4,600 | |
| WR | O. Beckham Jr. | SF@NYG | $9,000 | |
| WR | Jordan Matthews | NO@Phi | $6,400 | |
| WR | Willie Snead | NO@Phi | $3,000 | |
| TE | Owen Daniels
P
|
Den@Oak | $2,700 | |
| FLEX | Rob Gronkowski | NE@Dal | $7,500 | |
| DST | Chiefs | Chi@KC | $2,800 |
Bradford to Matthews will either payoff great this week or we won’t be starting them again for the rest of the season. It’s do-or-die time for the Eagles O. Woodhead looks like a great play against a Steelers team that hasn’t been great against receiving RBs. Snead probably won’t be this cheap again so enjoy it one last week. He looks legit to me and might already be the #2 target in New Orleans. In fact, if you’re in a seasonal league with a FAB and he’s still available, worth it to get him now before you have to really pay. Gronk…does he need an explanation? Ever? And the Chiefs at home against Cutler who might not have his top 2 WRs? Yes, please.
