Which lineup is better for Week 6 in a head to head? Any advice appreciated for a newbie. Thanks in advance!

I think we should blend some of those teams together. I I think Edelman and Hopkins are must plays in cash games due to the number of targets they see a game. Wilson's value also depends on who sits out for the Bears. Same with Hurns if Bortles can not go his value might take a hit.

Im not a Lacy fan.

On the right lineup you could drop Brady and Edelman, choose a different stack that saves you money to spend a bit more on a different RB. Just a thought. For only $100 more you can grab Forsett.

I agree with Zach for the most part of blending the 2 lineups. You have some GPP/Cash elements in both it seems.

Heck Devonta Freeman is $7000. I think he is due for a bad week but I dont think the bad week will be against the Saint. Devonta has probably been the best bang for your buck the past 3 weeks

Vs. Dal : 45.3

Vs Hou: 37.9

Vs Was: 35.7

According to NFL Stats, the Saints are the 30th worst rush defense,allow 135 yards a game, and 6 TD's thus far.

Just my 2cents

EDIT* Looks like Forsett could maybe not play.

Edit** Didnt realize you said H2H

I think Lacy is due so that is a good contrarian play IMO in GPPS. This week is kinda tough because the Thursday slate has 2 players with excellent values (especially if Julio is hobbled), in Snead and Freeman. They will owned a LOT in cash games. So I am not sure if I am playing much this week on that slate. I may throw in a GPP lineup with both those guys in there just to see how it does, but I'm not loving this week's values in general. Everyone will be on the Patriots, but its hard to know if it will be Brady or a mix of both runners. Plus I am going to the Skins/Jets game and won't be able to monitor everything very closely when I am tailgating so I may go light this week for that combination of reasons. But, on another note, the Times posted another negative article on DFS, focusing more on offshore gambling sites but mixing in a decent amount of DFS scrutiny as well. Front page on the online edition.

@celfo72 - While you may not go wrong with a Brady/Edelman stack, a 3 player stack with Dion Lewis may be a bit risky for a H2H matchup. I don't think you want so much risk in your H2H lineup. I think Hopkins and Edelman are nice plays for your H2H lineup. I think you can work in a stronger TE option.

I didn't read the head to head part. I think both could be tinkered with in GPPs. You could switch out Blount w/ Dion Lewis in case the Pats make it the "Gronk you on the ground with our Blount" game. I find H2H tough on Draftkings bc almost every player I try to play seems to be ranked on rotogrinders. If you look at the people who have challenges set, even in the $1 matches, Its usually guys who have been playing for a while. Even CONDIA and Maxdalury play like 25x $1-$2 games. Even though its a small sample size, I've done a little better just entering a bunch of lineups in multiple small stakes GPPS. Anyone else noticed this with H2H games posted on DK?

DK H2H can be rough and there are definitely Sharks playing in the lower level games. I don't recommend posting your own H2H games without blocking users. If you play H2H, select your games and know thy opponent. While it's my favorite site to play on, it could be the toughest competition.

I am playing Lamar Miller this week in GPP Million $. I know its not a strong play but I am hoping the interim coach who is all about 'aggression' realizes how putrid their rushing #s were and tries to utilize him way more.

Sam made a good point with such a heavy investment in the Pats. It's a really risky strategy more suited for tournaments, and not H2H games. They are solid based lineups, and I actually like Lacy this week. His price keeps dropping, and even if he burned me last week, I will be taking him this week. San Diego ranks just about last in rush defense, and game script looks good for Lacy as well.

I'll echo the sentiments of the others in wanting to tinker with either lineup. I believe fading the Patriots completely like your first lineup does is a disaster waiting to happen. Conversely, as Sam pointed out, there is risk of cannibalization of production owning two skill position players from the Pats with Brady. I love the Lacy play. I would probably spin down from Dion Lewis to Charcandrick West. You'd eliminate cannibalization issues while saving $1,700. That extra money could be pumped into upgrading your tight end (you could move all the way up to Gates should you be so inclined) and third wide receiver (if Jeffery/Royal are back). Beyond that, I love the Edelman/Fitz pairing and the Jets defense is a steal.
