Cash Game Projections

There's certainly a lot of information to check out here, and that's why I'm here, hopefully. Anyhow, Russell Wilson is a great play at home against the Dolphins this week. With his rushing ability and always efficient quarterbacking ability, Wilson is arguably the highest floor quarterback on the slate, and while he does cost a pretty penny, he's certainly worth it. Latavius Murray and DeAngelo Williams are also great cash game options, so we're off to a great start. They're both looking at really solid workloads, and have favorable match-ups.

Kamar Aiken is where I feel that we're swerving off the road. While he certainly had a good 2015, especially at the very end, Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman are back from injury, and the Ravens brought in Mike Wallace. This should be a crowded offense in terms of targets, and with that considered, Aiken is a tough sell as a cash game type. Doug Baldwin and Antonio Brown on the other hand, are perfect targets for cash games. They bring upside and high floors.

Travis Kelce and Spencer Ware both bring solid upside to the table with their matchup against the Chargers, and while starting both of them probably limits upside a bit, it's a great tactic to hit all the upside from that Chiefs team. They're both solid values, especially Ware. The Arizona Cardinals are a solid pay up option and should be considered if you have the salary. They should be able to take advantage of the Tom Brady-less Patriots

GPP Projections

Not much variance here, as Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Spencer Ware and Antonio Brown are all tremendous values in all formats this week, there's no knocking the optimizer for that. Frank Gore is a solid contrarian move, as he likely won't be highly owned and has a great chance at some game-flow with the way the Lions vs Colts game should play out. Markus Wheaton is an interesting frill to throw into the mix. If he's healthy, he's certainly worth a tournament move, but overall, especially with the injury, he's a risk. Zach Ertz is actually a cash game option for me, so I'm certainly in love with this move, in fact, I like him more than Kelce.

Stack

Very, Very interesting. While I love both DeAngelo Williams and Antonio Brown, it's tough to get behind Ben Roethlisberger at his prices this week. This stack likely pops up more because of Brown's projection than anything else, I'd suggest using these two without Roethlisberger.

Lineup Including Stack

Again, I'm not a huge fan of Roethlisberger, but overall I like this matchup. John Brown is back and healthy, so he should once again be a solid option with the Cardinals, especially with the main focus being on Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald. Beyond that, this is mostly very similar to the previous two lineups, which is very solid.
