What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat the field? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
headChopper: For this slate, I like taking some shots in large-field tournaments that have multiple entries. I think there are enough games and strong plays that I don’t want to be limited to just one lineup. Deservedly so, people have a negative view of the Steelers offense, and that should drive their popularity down, but I really like the game stacks in that matchup. I especially like running WR vs. WR builds there and will even include the pass-catching running backs as well.
Stevietpfl: I’ll be focusing on small-field contests this weekend. We have some strong games for a smaller slate. I’ll be overweight on the PIT/DET and JAX/DEN games. At running back, I want to play Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson together as much as possible. To make my lineups different, I’m going to use a cheap WR or TE in the flex spot (unlike the main slate, where I’m focusing on running back in the flex).
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing just one lineup in single-entry contests. With Jahmyr Gibbs projecting to be really chalky, I like the idea of playing Jared Goff alongside the Lions’ pass catchers. I’ll ideally try and play Bijan Robinson as well, with cheap, salary-saving bring-backs from the Steelers (e.g. DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell).

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
