Cash Game Lineups- Two Lineups.

I am playing the Sunday-Monday slate, because I like my team better as Jordan Matthews is in a terrific spot on FanDuel at just $5,600. I am playing a majority of my games on the Sunday/Monday slate, but felt obligated to post a Sun Only slate for you guys.

Happy Thanksgiving- Cash Lineup

First of all thank you all for reading this blog and for those subscribers to Footballguys thank you as well. It is humbling to even have one person spend the time to read what I write. I am on cooking duty today so this is short and sweet but I owe it to you to produce my thoughts on this slate.

Here is my cash lineup with an explanation on why I went with what I did.

QB-
Cousins just fits. I would have preferred Ben over him, but I want Elliott, Bell, Brown as my stable of plays this week.

RB-
Rob Kelley was in consideration and for good reason after his monster performance on Sunday Night Football. He is cheap, but Bell/Elliott are two of the best running backs in the league.

WR-
Antonio Brown is the safest play on the board for cash games and was a must start for me this week. Golden Tate has been Detroit's number one receiver over the last few games as Marvin Jones has really struggled. There are not a ton of great options at the receiver position, but Tate should see a high enough volume to pay off his salary.

With Stefon Diggs looking like he will miss this game, Adam Thielen is likely going to draw the coverage of Darius Slay which is a big downgrade for Thielen, but a big upgrade for Cordarrelle Patterson who slides into the number two receiver for Minnesota.

I also considered Jamison Crowder here, but the volume that Tate should see should be greater than Crowder who saw only three targets last week. Crowder is a great GPP play and I will have a lot of exposure to him in those contests

TE-
Detroit is bottom five against opposing tight ends and with Stefon Diggs looking unlikely to play, Rudolph should see more targets.

Def-
Steelers against Tolzien are the way to go as they're cheap and no reason not to go with them.

K-
Dan Bailey is seemingly automatic at home. Any of the kickers are in decent spots in this slate, but I had a little extra cash and decided to spend up. The Cowboys are one of the highest projected scoring teams along with Pittsburgh and ultimately the tiebreaker between Bailey and Boswell was that the Cowboys are at home and the Steelers go for two on extra points occasionally limiting Boswell's point total.

What Could Have Been- Week 11 Recap

I'll be honest, I wrote off losing a large majority of my cash lineups within the first five minutes of the NFL slate yesterday due to the A.J. Green injury. My reaction was about the same as this cheerleader who was more focused on the injury than doing her job. Immediately, I started scrambling to find out how many people owned A.J. Green in my head to heads. The good news is that he was 30% owned. Even better news was that the rest of my lineup was terrific.

Ultimately it is difficult to say what could have been if A.J. Green had not gotten hurt as it is not as simple as adding 15-20 points in GPP's and seeing where you would have finished. At the end of the day, I managed to be slightly positive making $55 on $1,400 in play. If he would have gotten 10 points, I would have been +600 but that's how life goes sometimes.

Free Stuff- Cross Sport Survivor

FanDuel is running a $2 multi-sport survivor. It is a three-week contest that has NFL this week, NBA on Tuesday and NFL on Thursday.

Week 11 Cash Game Lineup

I like this lineup, the one risk here is Doug Baldwin. We saw him come on last season around this time and the expectation is that the Seahawks will go with a pass heavy offense similar to what we have seen the past few weeks. Baldwin will be popular, and has multiple touchdown upside.

Week 10 Review- Worst week of my career

A few of you have asked why I did not post my lineup until after lock when I posted it at 1:04 EST. Here's the scoop, the goal was not to hide my lineup or gain a competitive advantage over the people who read this blog. I have posted my lineups before lock since week 3 or 4 when a few of you asked me to do so.

The simple answer is this. I hated the lineup, and did not want any of you to think that I was endorsing this lineup. There was a pit in my stomach regarding having you all play this lineup and I could not justify posting it. I played about half of what I normally do, because it was just one of those weeks that everyone has where you get stuck with players you don't love.

I had $620 in play this week, and lost $580 which is the worst week of my career.

I have always tried to be open and honest with you guys and I will be posting my lineup Saturday night/Sunday morning as I have done for most of the season.

This blog has gotten over 50,000 views since we started it which is pretty cool for just a guy posting about his DFS ups and downs.

Hate this lineup

My cash game lineup is below, and I'm not happy about it.

Good luck everyone
