looking at DFS stacks, anyone have one they like?

I prefer the Sunday 1pm/4pm only contests, but I also do one Thursday - Monday for short money (but a lot of players so it pays well).

I like Wilson, Metcalf and Lockett vs TEN. I think ARI and SEA have similar offenses and ARI torched TEN last week.

Plus SEA is just good and Wilson is a discount vs Mahomes Jackson and Murray. which would afford me the option to get both Lockett and Metcalf.

I also like Brady, but so many options not sure who to stack him with. Brady is much less than the 4 QB's mentioned above.

Anyone have any stacks (or sleepers) they like?

any fantasy football topic is fair game for this thread...
I haven't looked at prices,

but I love a Rodgers Davante stack if there was any selloff after a shitty week 1 performance...

Rodgers value is there (he's $6600 on DK = QB9 - behind Deshaun Watson lol)

Adams is WR2: $8300 just behind Tyreek Hill.

Yeah I would ride Sheps connection with DJ, although figure they will get Golladay more involved tonight. Marvin Jones is a good play too, as Jax defense sucks and they will be throwing a ton.

I’m torn on who to flex this week PPR:

Shenault
Ty’Son
Gordon/Williams

Also wondering what to do at TE: I have Tonyan, not the biggest fan, wondering if Kmet and Trautman might be better pickups for the season. I have Adams and don’t like having two of the same players having to go each week on the same team as was the case last week even though I still managed to win.

I like Kmet - I think I'll like him more when Fields is playing, but he's clearly a focal point of that offense even with Jimmy Graham.

tough call on the flex.

I think Shenault eventually becomes a star, but what's his floor? People are talking up Gordon, but until that 70 yard TD when the game was pretty much over how was his day, I know all stats count, but my point is we all watched that game and IMO Williams looked like the better, more elusive, and bigger threat out of the backfield for DEN. And lastly Ty'Son probably has the highest floor until you learn what BAL is planning with their bevy of veterans - Lat Mur, Le'Veon, and Freeman. No clue how to read that situation yet.

I'd probably roll the dice on Shenault but it's close IMO.
Shenault's floor is what worries me too

I have to pick two wr's out of

Golladay
Cooks
Woods
Shenault
Aiyuk

Yup I am thin at WR, I went RB in my first 4 rounds

Who would you pick?

Thanks Pjacs  
beatrixkiddo : 9/16/2021 10:24 am : link
I think Shenault has a safe floor in this offense, and if anything has only earned more trust from Lawrence as he was the most reliable receiver last week. I am sure Den will rely on the run game a bit more with Jeudy out, plus Ajax defense is dreadful. I can see both backs being good this week, and I think Denver may want to get the OL more work after we shit down the run for most the game last week. It’s a tough call, but think I’ll roll with Shenault.

I like both Kmet and Trautman, really not sure if I should drop Tonyan for one of them or not. Depends how this week goes I guess.

RB with first 4 picks? That just doesn’t seem like a sound strategy. It’s great if your objective was to hoard RBs, but not so great if the objective was to build the best team.

As for who to start out of that mess, probably Woods and Cooks for me.

LAC/Dallas game is interesting too. Herbert at $6,700 in what should be a shootout, with no Lawrence anymore for Dallas. Maybe a Herbert/Allen stack. We know Dallas will put up points.

I like Herbert too, but I read somewhere after a hot start last year, he was kind of pedestrian down the stretch and last week I read he was not pressure much and had a good not great day. I didn't follow him so haven't verified any of this. Still like him though.

I like Herbert too, why wouldn't anyone like him as a talent, but the Chargers didn't score that many PTS last year. The hype train is large with this kid, again, he's a good looking QB, but people need to slow down just a little.
.5 PPR - 12 Team SuperFlex League...  
RC in MD : 9/16/2021 2:42 pm : link
Who do you start? Julio and Barkley are two that I'm not comfortable with but it's too early to bench them this weekend.

Current starters:
RB1: J.Taylor vs LAR
RB2: S.Barkley @ Was
WR1: K.Cupp @ Ind
WR2: Julio.Jones @ Sea
FLEX: B.Cooks @ Cle


Need RB2, WR2, and FLEX from these players.

Barkley
Jones
Cooks
Javonte Williams @ Jax,
AJ.Dillon vs Det
T.Sermon @ Phi
DeVonta Smith vs SF
B.Aiyuk @ Phi

He's a rookie so who knows, and I have him too, so I'd love to find a way to get D. Smith in your lineup.

It's a gamble to bench Julio for him but I think that's what I'd do. Aiyuk played himself out of a role it sounds like.

Sermon got beat out by another rookie in camp (and 2nd year player Hasty) - for now, and who knows how much you'll see from Dillon.

So it comes down to Smith for me.
Yeah...it's a strange week...  
RC in MD : 9/16/2021 3:04 pm : link
I hear you on Julio vs. Smith. It's a tossup for me as well.

The more pressing matter is Barkley or Williams since the game is tonight for Barkley. If it wasn't for M.Gordon's long TD run, he and Williams had similar stats, so he's at least getting equal opportunities. Do I hope that Barkley breaks a long one against the tough WFT? Or do I hope that Williams continues to get his share of touches against a weak Jac?
I traded Z Moss and Fournette....  
Kev in Cali : 9/16/2021 5:57 pm : link
for Ty'son Williams. PPR 12 team league. My other RBs are Taylor/Harris/Murray/Gainwell.

I needed a little RB depth, hoping this trade pans out....did I win this trade - or was it a breakeven move?
