Always check back at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday for any last minute changes.
Update: The injuries to Brown and Gates have me worried and they are late games. Have to make the change. Switching those two and Washington D out for Landry, Walker, and NYG.
Rough week last week as most of my picks played well but pretty much none went off enough to make the lineups very viable. Nearly made a lineup combo-ing Hoyer and Hopkins but shied away from it. Huge mistake on my part. Whining over. Let’s pick ’em!
Safe Lineups (50/50s)
Pos | Player | Opp | Salary | |
QB | Carson Palmer | Bal@Ari | $6,700 | |
RB | LeSean McCoy
P
|
Buf@Jax | $5,500 | |
RB | Lamar Miller | Hou@Mia | $4,600 | |
WR | Larry Fitzgerald
P
|
Bal@Ari | $7,400 | |
WR | Vincent Jackson | TB@Was | $5,300 | |
WR | Jarvis Landry | Hou@Mia | $6,200 | |
TE | Travis Kelce
P
|
Pit@KC | $4,900 | |
FLEX | Mark Ingram | NO@Ind | $6,300 | |
DST | Bills | Buf@Jax | $3,100 |
Palmer to Fitzgerald should torched the Ravens who have been getting blown away by the pass all season. McCoy is healthy (for now) and will be a work horse while he’s in there. Miller might finally be getting the ball like he should and will be a stud as long as that happens.
Jackson seems to be his QB’s favorite target and has looked great this season. He gets a Washington team that can rush the passer but can’t cover anything. Landry has been a stud in PPR formats all season and no reason to go away from him. Kelce should have a great game against a Pitt team that has been awful against TEs. Love Ingram as the flex as the Saints offense seems to be coming around now. And the Bills should level the Jags offense this week. That game might be ugly.
Swing for the Fences Lineup
Pos | Player | Opp | Salary | |
QB | Andrew Luck
P
|
NO@Ind | $7,600 | swap out |
RB | Todd Gurley | Cle@StL | $5,000 | swap out |
RB | DeMarco Murray | Phi@Car | $6,400 | swap out |
WR | John Brown
Q
|
Bal@Ari | $5,500 | swap out |
WR | Allen Hurns
P
|
Buf@Jax | $5,300 | swap out |
WR | Donte Moncrief | NO@Ind | $5,200 | swap out |
TE | Antonio Gates
Q
|
Oak@SD | $5,000 | swap out |
FLEX | Arian Foster
P
|
Hou@Mia | $7,500 | swap out |
DST | Redskins | TB@Was | $2,500 |
Luck to Moncrief looks like a strong combo as their offense seems to be getting things right now. They could get in a shootout with the Saints and put up a huge day. Gurley will be in a ton of lineups at his price but he seems worth it. The Browns got trampled last week and no reason to think they’ll stop Gurley. Murray is starting to live up to his hype and should get plenty of touches and put up good numbers even in a road game at Carolina.
Brown should continue his hot play against a Ravens team that has been torched by the pass all season. #2s have done well against the Bills (think Jones last week) and Hurns should get his this week. Gates has looked vintage in his return to the lineup and now gets an Oakland team that has mostly been atrocious against TEs. Foster is a little scary against a revived Miami D but he should do plenty of damage as a receiver even if the ground and pound isn’t working. And Washington‘s excellent pass rush might have its way with Winston this week and end up with a sneaky good fantasy game.
