Cash Game Projections

If Cam Newton can play, he's absolutely the top play on the board. While it's tough to figure out who to stack him with, if you do even go that route. Greg Olsen and Kelvin Benjamin are certainly viable, but a 'naked' Cam isn't out of question. While you can't expect Theo Riddick to continue on his tremendous pace from last week, he's certainly a value at his price. While Justin Forsett was signed this week, he shouldn't be a big part of things this weekend with so little time to prep. Riddick should be able to take advantage of a weak Rams secondary, who's constantly is missing assignments. While Christine Michael is an ok value, I'm much more interested in the passing game of Seattle than the running game. Jimmy Graham and Russell Wilson are the two players I have an eye on in terms of cash game consideration, and with the way the Falcon offense has moved the ball this year, I'm not all that worried about the game-flow for the passing game.

Kenny Britt is on pace to be the first Rams wide receiver to go above 1,000 receiving yards since 2007. While that's tremendous, it's still tough to trust him on a week-to-week basis. His price is cheap enough to take a risk, but overall, he's better off at just a tournament play. Sammie Coates is still extremely cheap for his upside in a top passing game. That's not even to mention the amazing matchup against the weak Dolphins passing game. Coates is a cash game option and should be easy to fit into just about any lineup. While it's normally chasing points to follow last weeks top wide receivers, but this is not the case here. Randall Cobb may not play this week because of a hit he took at the end of last weeks game, but if he does, his price is tremendous. While Dallas has been able to run all over their opponents and hold opposing offenses in check in terms of time of possession, but the Packers are different. The Packers have been tremendous against the run so far this year, and while they may still get beat up on a long run at some point, they should be able to hold them in check for the most part. Cobbs should get plenty of opportunity and targets.

Delanie Walker is healthy and once again in the good graces of Marcus Mariota. Walker is the main (and only) target in the Titans passing game, and should be able to find his way to 8-to-10 targets a game from here on out. Against this Browns secondary, those should be highly fantasy relevant targets. David Johnson against the Jets. David Johnson against the Jets. There's not much more to say than that, he's a cash game option. The Giants aren't in play for me in any format, if anything, I'm using the Ravens defense in that game.

GPP Projections

Brandon Lafell has caught only two of his seven red-zone targets in 2016, but both of those catches went for touchdowns. While he's not a perfect play, for a min play, he's certainly in a solid position. The Texans are an interesting upside play with Andrew Luck coming to town, but they have just as much downside. They're worthy of a tournament lineup, on a week that is weak with defenses to play.

Stack

Same old, same old. The Steelers are once again EASILY the top stack in the slate and the week, and including Sammie Coates in here would also be an optimal choice.

Lineup Including StackTools

Now that Carson Palmer is cleared for action, he makes for a tremendous upside play and stacking option against the Jets. While Palmer has been up and down so far in 2016, the Jets secondary is a perfect way to get rolling. John Brown was a main target for Palmer two weeks ago against the Rams, and with him returning to the lineup, it's fair to expect something similar this week. Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd are also in play, but overall, Brown is the best dollar for dollar play.
