My Draft Kings NFL Week 7 Lineups

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.
