The Blog is Back- Looking Towards Week 8- Hoopsguys Announcement

It's been a crazy week for me. For those of you who haven't heard yet, I was fortunate enough to be asked to manage a new site called Hoopsguys.com which is a sister site to Footballguys.com. We will be 100% free up until Thanksgiving. We have a great team of 15 staffers who are going to be contributing, so check us out if you are looking for some NBA DFS advice.

Now let's head into week 8. The pricing is really soft so how do we deal with this? It's really simple, we need to join more cash games and stick with the H2H strategy and let other people make mistakes.  With how soft the pricing is, it is not a great GPP week, as you typically want to be contrarian in GPP's and on a point/dollar basis it is difficult to not start some of the top end guys.

This week I am making two cash game lineups, the reason for this is there are so many good cash game plays that it's hard to isolate just one lineup.

QB-
Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan, Jameis Winston.

I am leaning with Luck and Ryan, even though I really like Winston and had him as my #1 guy earlier in the week, the issue is that the volume that Jacquizz Rodgers is seeing is hurting the Tampa Bay passing game. I will stack Winston with Evans in some GPP's.

RB- 
Devonte Booker- Start him in all of your cash lineups, he is too cheap not to start this week.

Other Options-
Spencer Ware
Ezekiel Elliott
Christine Michael

WR- 
Mike Evans is the top option on FanDuel. His price dropped after last weeks two touchdown performance.

Other options
Julio Jones- He can easily be fit into your lineup with the weak pricing.
Amari Cooper
Brandon Marshall
Larry Fitzgerald

TE-
Gary Barnidge- With Josh McCown starting this week, Barnidge was the #2 overall tight end last year when McCown was the starting quarterback. He is a target hog, and should easily reach value as his price is depressed from all of the different quarterbacks that have played for the Browns this year.

Other options-
Jimmy Graham- Revenge Game
Kyle Rudolph
Rob Gronkowski

  1. I feel good that my list is virtually identical, but I'm struggling with D. Hate them all this week, so trying to squeeze in Broncos, but falling $200 short in my favorite LU
