Friday, August 9th

Hello Grinders. We have just a two-game slate after Thursday’s massive slate, but there’s still a lot to sort through for these four teams. My advice given a shorter slate is not to be afraid to eat some of the chalk because in Preseason Week 1 we’re really banking on playing time, but also don’t be afraid to throw in a low owned player in a lineup to differentiate yourself. If there’s someone on your radar that I didn’t write up, just go for it. Given the short slate and some of these contests having a ton of entries, you’re going to have to find a way to differentiate your lineup somewhere, so I definitely think this is the type of slate to take some chances.
