Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for NFL Week 4!
SUNDAY MORNING NOTES:
The Chargers announced that Melvin Gordon would play against Miami, but will be on a limited snap count. Originally, I heard something in the neighborhood of 10 touches but a recent report from Ian Rapoport says he'll be active but only used in an emergency. Something tells me we'll see more of the former than the latter. I am going to stick with Austin Ekeler as a major component of my cash lineups and maybe get a splash of Gordon in a GPP contest. I don't want to rely too heavily on himand ruin a good GPP build, but I also don't want to get left out in the cold.
The latest report syas Julian Edelman is expected to play against Buffalo. I'm not sure if that's enough to get him into my lineups but it is enough for me to take Jakobi Meyers off the Dart Board.
Jalen Ramsey is with the team in Denver but still listed as questionable. If he is active for the game, I am less interested in Emmanuel Sanders and Courtand Sutton.
While my tweet about a Miami stack was more tongue-in-cheek, I have put Preston Williams into the Dart Board and will give him strong consideration in my GPP builds.
Word is that Terry McLaurin is still a true game-time decision but I am still using Paul Richardson as a salary-saver in my lineups. The Giants secondary is still trash and the Redskins need a win to save Jay Gruden's & Case Keenum 's job.
UPDATE:
Check the inactives page for everything, but Terry McLaurin and T.Y. Hilton are both out for today.
Just a few notes here about the lineups below...
The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and the DFS Dart Board to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. As you will see in this week's GPP lineups, there are some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you.
For now, there doesn't seem to be any weather concerns save for it being really hot in Miami.
Potential GPP Stacks I may be using this week (with players coming back):
Seattle Seahawks -- Wilson/Carson/Lockett or Metcalf (Larry Fitz)
Arizona Cardinals -- Murray/David Johnson /Fitz (Lockett)
Washington Redskins -- Keenum/Thompson/Richardson (Shepard/Engram)
Detroit Lions -- Stafford/Kerryon/Golladay or Hockenson (Kelce)
Baltimore Ravens -- Lamar Jackson /Hollywood Brown/Mark Andrews (OBJ)
Houston Texans -- Deshaun Watson /DeAndre Hopkins /Will Fuller (Curtis Samuel /D.J. Moore )
Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.
Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!
