Analysis:

Matt Ryan and Drew Brees are the two quarterbacks that pop up for the Thursday-Monday slate, and I am certainly cool with Ryan taking on a Packers secondary that's a bit banged up. Drew Brees is on the contrarian side in a GPP lineup, with a home matchup against Seattle. While the matchup with Seattle isn't ideal, a home game for Brees holds upside, and $6,900 is a reasonable price still.

The running back core here this week is something I am intrigued with, especially the Devontae Booker value play, which will be a popular one. David Johnson has been a lock for over 100 all-purpose each game this season. Devonta Freeman I am looking at in GPPs, not really in cash this week, but I can see the logic with the high total and workload. Green Bay's defense was hit hard against their first real running back challenge last week.

Cheap tight ends is the theme again this week, and I don't mind it. The receiving core has some names that surprised be, but I am in love with Randall Cobb this week at his solid price tag. Julio Jones is included in the stack and the GPP lineup. Him and Mike Evans are the top wideouts of Week 8. Marqise Lee had a big week, but this seems like point chasing. Chiefs and Cardinals are two GPP defenses I like this week, but I rather use a safer option in cash.

Hi Jason,

Your lineups and stacks really help ppl like me(fairly new to dfs) - Would you mind putting up cash or GPP line ups for this week and every week if possible?

Thx in advancd!!!

@yaaar those lineups are just run from the optimizer with no filters or settings applied. You can look at those same lineups by going to the tools section.

@Yaar these are just ran as is. I don't add any filters or rules to it. If you use the optimizer this is what you should be getting. We also have a DK/FD optimal lineup and stack review for the main slates that come out Thursday/Friday
