Week 2 Lineup

Here's my lineup and my thoughts this week on it. I started off not liking this week, but the more I dig into it the more that I like it for cash, but don't necessarily like it for GPP as everyone is going to be game stacking the New England/New Orleans and Green Bay/Atlanta games so game theory suggests going away from that ownership and taking other games, but there just is not other games and players that I like enough to go hard in GPPs this week. .

Current Bankroll- $10,242
Investment this week-
Cash- $1,600
GPP $100
Total- $1,700 (16.5% of bankroll)

I originally had Adam Thielen in this lineup and at one point had Stefon Diggs in a lineup, but at this point, I am not willing to take the chance that Sam Bradford does not play or does not play effectively even if he does play in this game.

Lineup Recap-
Going with Brady/Hogan stack largely because the cornerback matchup of Chris Hogan where he is going up against Da'Vante Harris who got absolutely torched by Adam Thielen last week out of the slot. This is a perfect spot for Hogan as even though he let a lot of people down week one, still was on the field more than any receiver in New England (73/81).

Running Backs-
Marshawn Lynch I wrote him up in my last post, he's my number one guy this week everywhere. Melvin Gordon looked impressive this week, and while some people are on Ty Montgomery at his cheap price, I just can't do Montgomery in cash. Miami was the 30th team against the run last year and they have not played a game this season, so this is a matchup that Gordon should be able to dominate.

Wide Receiver-
One of my favorite guys this week is Larry Fitzgerald this week. Who else are the Cardinals going to throw to now that John Brown is out for this game? Fitzgerald could very easily have 15 targets as he had 13 last game. This Colts defense is atrocious in the secondary without Vontae Davis, so this should be an opportunity for Fitzgerald to have a good game in this one.

  3. This lineup didn't do very well for me so far. Have Julio left. Looking forward to next week.

  4. Not the best lineup, but it is still currently in the top 25% of 50/50 lineups at the moment. Ty Montgomery is a big risk, but a big Julio game could push this lineup pretty high.

    1. Played it in a few GPP contests. Haven't tried many head 2 head matchups. Might try those next weekend. Did well enough to break even across all my contests with 5 different lineups. Not ripping your lineup like some seem to believe. Thanks for the info.

  6. Just an FYI Devin doesnt post his lineup so you can just play it..He posts it so you can build your own unique lineup using his plays as a guideline.

  8. "Who else are the Cardinals going to throw to now that John Brown is out for this game?" Maybe JJ Nelson?? ARGH! Like you, I loved Fitz, but...Win some lose some...Anyway, just wanted everyone associated with FBG to know how valuable ALL your stuff is. Truly appreciated. Keep slinging 'em out with you reasoning and you'll never hear a bitch from anyone. You make the case and the players decide if they agree or not. THANKS for all the hard work!
