DraftKings Optimal Lineup & Stack: Week 13

No Filters, Exclusions, Locks, or Models Applied. Ran Colossus As Is.

Cash Game Projections

Another QB against the Saints this week, which has been a continuing trend. I am much more of a fan of Newton's price on DK, and also just the overall ease of fitting in basically anyone you want here. LeSean McCoy is one of my favorite running backs this week, and for just $5,700, he is an excellent play. Houston is not a great run defense, ranking 20th per FO. For $3,400 David Johnson seems very okay for cash on DK, he should see a full workload, and with the full point PPR, he gets a boost on DK over FD. DeAngelo Williams was another one of my featured backs for this week in the RB analysis.

Alshon Jeffery is a lock for me this week, and it is for Colossus as well. Going up against one of the worst secondaries in football, it just makes sense. Brandon Marshall is coming off of a monster week, and he gets a tougher matchup individually, but the Giants are still have a middle of the road ranked pass defense. Julio Jones should be in for a bounce back week, facing off against Tampa. All the injuries in New England open up tremendous value this week, and Scott Chandler is one of them. With Romo out, you can definitely punt to Washington if need be.

GPP Projections

Just a few changes here, adding in Hopkins over Jones, which is a GPP swerve with equal upside. Jarvis Landry is another GPP stud, who benefits from the full point PPR on DK. Baltimore ranks 20th against opposing WR1. Darren McFadden lacks upside I want in GPP's, I would be trying to pivot elsewhere if this were my own lineup. Bengals against Cleveland, easy chalk call for this week.

Stack

The Big Ben and Martavis Bryant prices are attractive here, and I love the stack against an average Indy defense. They rank 17th in pass defense, per FO, and allow the 6th most passing yards per game. With these weapons, and Ben likely back this week, they are a great stack.

Lineup Including Stack

This fits right into the first lineup, and then it even adds some. Colossus tossed in a healthy Devonta Freeman, who has plenty of upside.

Its amazing that this hit the 2 stacks I was wanting right on the head.

I planned on deploying a Panthers and Steelers stack this week. Not sold entirely on Chandler but then again, someone on that offense needs to get the ball. I plan on going with my Bengals this week. I think they have flown under the radar for the most part and have a chance to feast on Austin Davis.

Nice writeup!

I hate the idea of fading Cash Newton but I'm a bit concerned about the game script. Script is what ended killing Hoyer/Hopkins last week. I'm sure that monster they call JJ had a lot to do with shutting down Brees and Co but Carolina has been playing well on D. Any chance they turn this into an early romp?

Gonna be hard fading Amendola this week in cash- but my lineup looked almost exactly like yours (I like Odell over Julio and Doug Martin over McCoy) and he's sadly absent.

I'm liking most of the plays in the cash game lineup and the stack is money, but with Revis unlikely to play, I think OBJ is a must. Otherwise, a great mix of studs and great, under priced options to fill in the gaps.

@Odieman I agree on Chandler, but a much better play on DK where he is $2,500, compared to FD. I love the Bengals and Steelers stacks this week, Green should be off to another solid week, and will be under owned.

@Bobby_I I am worried about the same exact thing, which is why I think Jonathan Stewart could end up being the play from Carolina.

@setcamper I can't argue with Odell, he's a solid play. I actually really like McCoy this week, but with how Martin is playing I am on board there as well.

@Josh Completely agree, no Revis equals a ton of OBJ.
