Sunday Million - Shaping up the Season
Yesterday’s best lineup:
To all the people who said I don’t know football for picking the Colts to beat the Bills, I’ll admit that you’re right as long as you admit that you were scared at the end of that game! I hope everyone’s enjoying their weekends, we should be back into the swing of content with our podcast finally premiering.
Lineup 1:
With the slate being so much smaller, it makes it a lot harder for folks like myself to beat these major players and channels and their hundreds of lineups. James Conners and Gus Edwards are two risky and cheap options that allowed this lineup to pay up at quarterback, defense, and wide receivers. This Saints defense going against the Bears, the worst offense in the playoffs, should make it the most expensive defense. If you’re on FanDuel, I think they are absolutely worth paying up for. Cramming in Derrick Henry to even out our running back depth, and to ensure we don’t miss out on a big day just makes sense here. The Jonnu Smith, Derrick Henry stack always looks weird and always does better than I anticipated.
Lineup 2:
In this lineup I paid down for Baker Mayfield to improve my RB slots, losing out on the big man Derrick Henry. I would consider Lamar, and Henry to be today’s chalk so in this lineup I decided to include neither. As long as you’re not averse to risks, this lineup is guaranteed to make money if Lamar and Henry don’t end up being top 3 options.
It’s important to remember that Micheal Thomas has been injured, FanDuel didn’t just fall asleep on the wheel when pricing him underneath Diontae Johnson. I believe Thomas will leave the game with 80 yards and a touchdown, making him valuable at his price for me.
Lineup 3:
Everyone get off the sidewalk because I got chalk.
My favorite plays for today are J.K. Dobbins, Chase Claypool, and the Saints defense. The riskiest plays are James Conner, Michael Thomas, and Baker Mayfield.
