Sacking the NFL Saturday 600k
I’d like to thank everyone for their kind words on the Draft Kit yesterday. It was difficult to try and write articles everyday and work on the draft kit simultaneously so your feedback really means a lot. If you’ve already drafted, or only do DFS, the Draft Kit is still a great resource to help you gauge trades or build DFS lineups. The Standard Deviation sheet (STD) will help you find which players you should be targeting.

Saturday 600k Lineup 1:
Cole Beasley freestyles over Aaron Rodger’s diss track
Aaron Rodgers: Aaron Rodgers is currently leading all quarterbacks in touchdowns (39) on the season. Russell Wilson is the closest behind him with 32. This Panthers defense has been performing better this year than most would expect. In yards per target they rank 8th best, giving up 9.9 yards per target. On the ground they’re 14th best, allowing 4.4 yards per carry. However, none that means anything to the hall of famer Aaron Rodgers. He’ll probably tell you the same.
Phillips Lindsay: Lindsay is expect to play. His upside isn’t all that high, but it is higher than Bills running backs. Lock has a decent touchdown conversion rate in the redzone, scoring a touchdown 75% of the time he’s in the redzone. With Lindsay, you’re hoping he breaks one in the middle of the field to the outside.
Mike Davis: Matt Rhule’s news offensive scheme utilizes a lot of Run Pass Options, so if the Mike linebacker or the Boundary Safety on the packers make the wrong read, Davis will see a wide open hole against a poor rushing defense. It is important to note that Davis splits his work in the backfield, so there a chance Trenton Cannon or Rodney Smith steals his touchdown
Davante Adams: Adams is currently leading all WR’s in touchdowns with 14. When you watch Adams on the field he looks like a Man amongst boys. It reminds me of when I was a 12 and played against a park board team that was harboring an 18 year old running back. Once the word got out they were banned from competing for a year. Unfortunately for the DB’s in the NFL, the same thing is unlikely to happen to Davante Adams.
Stefon Diggs: Diggs is currently leading all receivers in targets and yards, although Adams is close on his tail. The Broncos were able to put up a great performance last week against the Panthers. The Bills may give up more yards per target than the Panthers (4.6), but that has more to do with the Bills being in contested games for longer. The Panthers opponents have been able to run the clock out which is why their rushing defense is much worse than their passing defense. The Broncos should struggle to score, which will give Allen more opportunities to throw the ball Diggs way.

Tim Patrick: Patrick is the most dangerous receiver on the field for Denver. Patrick’s a risky play, because he has to score a touchdown to pay off his pricing.
Dawson Knox: There are two strategies at tight end. Pay up for the guys who see 20%+ of their offense’s target share, or just pick some random dude who you think will make it into the endzone. Guess which one Dawson Knox is.
Cole Beasley: #bettingitallonbeasley! With John Brown out, this rapper extraordinaire is sure to drop a hit. Side note, It’s not a freestyle if you’re reading it off your phone.
Packers Defense: It is a little shaky to pay up for both Davis and the Packers defense, but there’s some method here. The packers defense is much better at defending the pass than they are at defending the run, and the Panthers fell apart last week. I expect the Panthers to turn the ball over at least once, and I would bet that they turn it over twice tonight.
Saturday 600k Lineup 1:
It’s a Drew Lock that Cole Beasley becomes a rap star.
Drew Lock: I just love to pay down for quarterbacks. It’s in my DNA at this point. Lock had a 4 touchdown performance last week and while that’s not something I expect for this week, Lock has shown progression on the season. The Broncos defense should help to make this game semi-close which would give Lock more snaps.
Aaron Jones: Jones may end up being the true chalk. Jones doesn’t need a whole lot of touches to have a great fantasy game. This game against the Panther seems ripe for another 2+ touchdown Aaron Jones performance.
Marques Valdes-Scantling: While I think Lazard and Adams are Rodger’s preferred targets, MVS just keeps getting open every week. Whether or not he catches the ball when he’s open remains to be seen. The Panther’s defensive unit won’t be able to cover all of the Packers skill position players. Someone from Green Bay is going to make headlines tonight, and you can make lots of money if you figure out who it is.
