Eagles/Falcons game looks like a game you want to target. Both have struggled in the secondary.

Definitely agree on that game, for cash games I will have Julio Jones locked in with so many great value options at running back

I think Jones will be the top scorer at wideout this week. There are plenty of vzlue wideouts as well. Adams has to top the list especially if Cobb can not suit up.

Love all the names you guys are throwing out, that MNF game is going to be huge to wrap up the contests. Jeremy Hill is one of my favorite RB's this week.

Hill scares me a little. He is not a three down back and Mack is a stud run stopper. I think the Raiders are going to stun a lot of people this year. Doug Martin is someone I really love. Titans can not stop run and Lovie will run the ball to take pressure of Winston.

I'm with you guys on Julio. He's my top WR as well. Tyrod Taylor is going to be the glue that will help you make loaded GPP lineups this week. Certainly don't love his upside, but I love his floor and salary that will help you fit some studs.

I can understand the worry about Hill, Zach, with Bernard sneaking in the passing game. Which may lead me off of him on some weeks when I think the Bengals will be playing from behind. I am not sure the Oakland defense is there yet, middle of the road at best.

Tevin Coleman was listed atop the depth chart this morning, and could make for a nice value back if he does draw the start.

I'm keeping close tabs on the Packers' WR situation, because in GPPs, I'll take a flier on Jeff Janis or Ty Montgomery if it looks like they'll get serious run. One of my favorite sneaky GPP WR selections this week is Leonard Hankerson. I love his big play speed and think he has more natural talent than his WR3 predecessor in ATL, Harry Douglas, who had some fine games with Matty Ice over the last few years. At running back, one of my favorite punts is Roy Helu. If the Raiders find themselves in a hole, expect Helu to get plenty of work since he's the third-down back. I don't think he has a super high ceiling, but I think he should catch a handful of passes, which gives him value as salary relief to roster some home run hitters elsewhere.

Nice to see Coleman win the RB job, pretty excited to see his season.

I left off a rather important statistical nugget from my odd Helu love for week one. The Bengals ranked 29th defending RBs in the passing game last year, per Football Outsiders.

I'm loving the midrange options for cash games at QB. Romo/Tannehill/Bradford stand out a lot to me.

8 years ago

i dont see how you can play Tannehill over Ryan on DK. Ryan is only 100 more and I love Tanny.

Game theory in GPPs, my man. I'm with you, I like Ryan better, but I think if I play a bunch of lineups, sticking in an identical one with Tannehill instead of Ryan is a good contrarian move.
