After an injury plagued week 2, I am looking ahead on FanDuel with some cash and GPP projection lineups. Everything is unfiltered, and taken as is.

First up is cash projections, which spits out some cheap running backs, and loads up on wideouts.

I love Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch this week against a poor Bears' defense, so having Wilson in here is a nice start.

Devonta Freeman should be a popular play this week, and should get plenty of touches. Bilal Powell I can't get behind in cash games, but if the Jets end up chasing this one, Powell could see an increase in the passing game. Also if Ivory is banged up.

The trio of wideouts have been DFS kings so far, so pairing all three up could make up for a play like Powell.

Travis Kelce is a sneaky pick this week, with many people paying up for Gronk, or going cheaper.

I would rather spend down at kicker, but Stephen Gostowski is the best kicker in the league. The Pats defense also has a great matchup.

Now looking at the GPP projections, we have similar plays with a few changes. The Saints secondary is pretty battered at the moment, and they have not put pressure on an opposing QB yet. Cam Newton has a ton of upside, but also can be very inconsistent. Great GPP QB for the weekend.

Now this is a cheap duo I feel a little bit more comfortable with. Woodhead keeps seeing touches in the passing game, and is averaging 80 combined yards in the first two weeks.

Same wideouts, which is no problem for me in any formats.

Tyler Eifert is a solid GPP tight end, could fly a but lower owned this week.

The Lions offensive line has been horrendous at protecting Matthew Stafford, I expect the Broncos to dial it up in week three.

I am loving some of these picks spit out but wonder if the Patriots defense is overrated. They are last in the NFL in stopping the run allowing over 5 yards per carry. They also let the Bills come back and score a bunch on them when the game looked over.
