Mid-Week NFL Lineup
Mid-Week NFL Lineup
FanDuel – $60,000 Salary Cap
It’s only Wednesday, but I’ve been trying to get some lineups in earlier in the week for NFL so I don’t have to scramble so much on my Sunday mornings. After BYE weeks end, decisions become difficult on sites with relatively loose caps such as FanDuel; there are a lot of viable options this week and its going to be tough to select only one lineup to run with. There are some deep Running Back choices to save cash, but I think this week there are three powerhouse matchups that you must play at RB: Peyton Hillis vs. BUF, Chirs Johnson vs. IND, and Michael Turner vs. Carolina. There are other options, but these three selections really stand out of the pack this week. Here is an initial lineup I’m using on FanDuel:
| Position | Player | Matchup | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Joe Flacco | BAL@HOU | $7,000 | Flacco and Boldin were on point last week. This week I expect Flacco to hit Rice, Boldin, and Mason all day long – especially if Heap misses time |
| RB | Peyton Hillis | CLE@BUF | $8,500 | #2 RB vs. #32 Rush D = Must-Pick |
| RB | Chris Johnson | IND@TEN | $7,900 | Expect CJ2K to bounce back this week vs. Indy assuming they don’t get down too much, too quick |
| WR | Larry Fitzgerald | DEN@ARI | $6,600 | It can’t get any worse at QB, and Larry had 11 targets last week. He’s still got huge potential despite playing for the Cardz |
| WR | Anquan Boldin | BAL@HOU | $6,600 | See Flacco |
| WR | Miles Austin | PHI@DAL | $6,500 | Miles will be a popular pick this week with Dez headed for IR |
| TE | Marcedes Lewis | OAK@JAC | $5,700 | Lewis has been consistent for Jax this season, but there’s a lot of tempting TE picks this week. I went Lews for consistency and upside, but Tamme for $100 more is very tempting for a $100 Kicker downgrade. |
| K | Shayne Graham | NE@CHI | $5,000 | This just in: New England scores a lot of points on offense. |
| D/ST | Atlanta Falcons | ATL@CAR | $6,200 | This just in: Carolina does not. |
