The cheap QB strategy lives on this week, with Yahoo going that route as well.

Josh McCown threw a nice game last week, and takes on an overrated Ravens' defense. If Cleveland uses Duke Johnson like they did last week, McCown will have success.

The Freeman play rambles on, and hard to argue against it right now, his price is on the rise, but still playable.

Todd Gurley for $10? That one did not slip past Colossus, and he looked unreal against a good Cardinals defense.

Julio Jones gets the Washington secondary, and as long as game flow allows Jones to stay in the game, he will produce.

Larry Fitzgerald is the safe cash game play, but pairing up John Brown in the same lineup is a little risky. The Cards passing game can provide enough for both, but it is more reserved for tourneys.

This is the first time I have seen Keenan Allen, and with the depleted core in San Diego, I love him this week. Martellus Bennett is a solid cash game tight end, but could take a small drop if Alshon Jeffrey comes back.

Jags are a cheaper defense on Yahoo, facing turnover prone Jameis Winston. It could pay off as a big difference maker, but I don't think if they let up a few touchdowns it hurts that much.

For GPP projections, Sam Bradford and Jordan Matthews slip into the lineup as a solid QB/WR duo.

Everywhere else remains fairly the same, expect using Kamar Aiken, who is the Ravens' WR1 this week, due to Steve Smith being out.

I know on Yahoo due to pricing that you have to pay down at QB but McCown is a bold call my Colossus. I am interested to see how that plays out.

The Yahoo GPP looks like a very solid lineup, but agree it is a very bold call.
