NFL DFS Optimal Lineups: Mon-Thurs (Week 2/3)

It was a fantastic second week of the NFL season for the Fantasy Alarm DFS Playbook, especially if you used our lineups to help create yours for cash games. It was hit after hit after hit, unless, of course, you made a pivot to Ezekiel Elliott. Yeesh! Where did that guy go? 

In any event, it's time to look ahead and our first stop is the Monday-Thursday slate which kicks off tonight at 8:30pm ET.

One of the biggest questions we're dealing with is whether to use Odell Beckham or not. As of right now (Monday, Sept. 18 at 12pm ET), he's going to test his ankle in warm-ups and is going to be a true game-time decision. I've have built the lineups below with the assumption that he won't play and, if he does, is going to serve as more of a decoy than a major part of the passing attack. It's the safe route.

Now playing it safe, isn't always the best course of action, especially when dealing with short-slate GPP contests, so I've come up with a couple of pivots for you as well. I would definitely keep watching the news throughout the day and pay very close attention to pre-game warm-ups. If he looks good and you want to take that chance that he won't simply be a decoy, then ride, Captain, ride!
