No Filters, Exclusions, Locks, or Models Applied. Ran Colossus As Is.
Cash Game Projections
I don't think we can argue against the Cam Newton play here, as $7,500 is an average price tag for him on DK. He tossed for 265 yards, and three touchdowns in a blowout. Atlanta has the 23rd ranked passing defense, per Football Outsiders.
The backs I love, outside of Devonta Freeman. I just rather pass on him at his price, even though he has PPR upside on DK. I would rather pay down for a value back, but Doug Martin to be specific. This can help bump up the defense or Jordan Matthews. David Johnson continues to be dominant, and the workload is unmatched lately. He is still super cheap on DK, and Green Bay's rushing defense has looked suspect of late. DeAngelo Williams is one of my favorite plays of the weekend, facing off against a depleted Baltimore team. Although Pittsburgh is the main stack this weekend, there should be plenty to go around.
The receiving core is interesting, and I think Rueben Randle will be a popular play now with OBJ suspended FOR SURE. I like Jarvis Landry, as he has one of the better WR/CB matchups of Week 16, facing Darius Butler. This game features two putrid offenses right now, but for $6,400 and a full point PPR, he is definitely in play. I can't trust Jordan Matthews in cash games, so I would look to pivot off Freeman, and bump him up. Jordan Reed continues to be a solid cash game TE, so he is definitely worth a look in TE.
Colossus has been punting defenses quite a bit lately. I would pay up in cash games for the Chiefs.
GPP Projections
Just small changes, but I like the addition of Jeremy Maclin here. He is seeing about 10 targets per game of late, and gets great matchup. Reed was knocked down to Zach Miller which is a find pivot. Lions defense gets the 49ers at home, if you want to go cheap, the Lions are in play.
Stack
My only concern is that Baltimore won't score enough to keep up with this stack. Pittsburgh's secondary isn't great, so Baltimore could still keep this game for at least two and a half quarters. *Crosses Fingers. This passing attack has huge upside, and there is plenty of value to plug around them.
Lineup Including Stack
The new face here is Darren McFadden. I rather grab a guy like Christine Michael or Karlos Williams for a value play around the same price.
