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: I prefer large-field contests for this one even though it’s a small slate. My big stand is that Green Bay and Cincinnati play a high-scoring game, making stacks from that matchup potential GPP winners. I don’t mind pairing the running backs with the quarterbacks in those stacks, and I’ll be overweight on Matthew Golden, hoping the bye week helped him get more involved in the offense.
Stevietpfl: With only 3 games, I will focus on small-field contests. I want to build 3 to 5 lineups. My focus will be around the SF/TB game. I will use secondary stacks from the other games. I’ll also be using the Titans’ and Bengals’ passing games, as I think they’ll be playing from behind.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing just 1 lineup in single-entry contests, and since I think the field is going to drastically flock to the CIN/GB game, I love pivoting to SF/TB. The Buccaneers are likely going to be without Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, and Chris Godwin, meaning Emeka Egbuka should see all of the targets he can handle. It also opens up some potential cheap options, making it easy to afford both Egbuka and Christian McCaffrey in the same lineup.

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.
