This Week-Injuries Change Everything- Bankroll Update

Current Bankroll after last week is down to $12,324 after a tough week where I did not win hardly anything.

This week, everything is dictated off of injury situations that you need to keep an eye on. At this point it is hard to even put a lineup in as one or two of these injuries can change everything.

With that said, I haven't entered a single contest yet and likely won't be doing that until tomorrow morning once we start to get a sense of what injuries there may be. If there are only a few that is ideal and I will enter the same amount of contests that I normally do. If it is a mess with injuries, I scale my action way back, as I have been burned by great value plays before.

Running Backs- 
DeMarco Murray (Hamstring)- If he is out, in cash games Derrick Henry is a top play, and a fade for me in GPP's due to how popular Henry will be. If Murray is active, you could look to Henry as a GPP play and assume that Murray will be limited, but the matchup is a tough one this week against a good CLE run defense.

Leonard Fournette (Ankle)- This one is interesting as Leonard Fournette did not practice all week. If he is out, you could look at Chris Ivory as a potentially interesting play in GPP's.

Melvin Gordon (Shoulder)- It looks like Gordon will play,  but if for some reason he did not, Brandon Oliver could be used in GPP's.

Wide Receiver-
Stefon Diggs (Groin)- Diggs is questionable, but it appears unlikely he will go. Adam Thielen once again should be considered due to all the targets he has been getting without Diggs in the lineup.

Keenan Allen (Shoulder)- It looks like Keenan Allen will play, but he is questionable. Allen is not really a guy that we are targeting in a tough matchup against Denver, it could help someone like Hunter Henry if he missed, although slightly.

DeVante Parker (Ankle)- Parker is doubtful, which means Jarvis Landry should be considered once again for this Miami Dolphins team. 

Marqise Lee (Knee)- Lee is questionable if he was unable to go Allen Hurns becomes a tremendous cheap option for this Jaguars team in a good matchup.

Jordan Matthews (Thumb)- It appears unlikely that Jordan Matthews will play, this Bills team is in a great matchup but have no one to throw to in this game. This likely helps LeSean McCoy if anyone as he will catch more passes out of the backfield as we saw last week.

Tight End
Delanie Walker (Calf)- Walker is the big one that we're watching from a tight end position, as more and more signs are pointing towards he does not play although he is still listed as questionable. If he does not play, Jonnu Smith becomes one of the top tight ends on this slate in terms of value plays.

  1. What is your thought on mike evans in cash. The bills have been lit up by wr1. Plus TB D is healthy and id say fade BUF and paly Evans in cash and gpp.

  2. The problem is that Michael Thomas is $400 cheaper and A.J. Green is $400 more expensive, both of which I like a little bit more this week. If some of these running back values open up a little bit, I could see having Evans as a third receiver, but the problem is his floor is pretty low and with Jameis being banged up with a shoulder injury not sure I fully trust it.

    1. I understand he is imo the top gpp play of the week. Projected ownership 10% or less and a first read for Winston or Fitz.

      I guess I have a hard time loving him in gpp but not cash.

      Would you be onboard for a Mccoy bust week?
