NFL DFS Example Lineups: Week 2

Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for NFL Week 2!

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. You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be 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 in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. But it's rare when that happens.

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!

SUNDAY MORNING NOTES:

The Good:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Colts "are confident" that Michael Pittman (ankle) and Paris Campbell (abdomen) will play in Week 2 against the Rams.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Raiders RB Peyton Barber is expected to "handle some of the lead back duties" in Week 2 against the Steelers.

Antonio Brown (knee) was removed from the Week 2 injury report.

Eric Ebron (hamstring) was removed from the Week 2 injury report and will play against the Raiders.

Jamison Crowder (groin) is expected to play in Week 2.

The Bad:

Keelan Cole (knee) is questionable for Week 2 against the Patriots.

Marquise Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Chiefs.

Browns WR Anthony Schwartz (hamstring) is questionable for Week 2 against the Texans.

Jonnu Smith (hip) is questionable for Week 2 against the Jets.

Anthony Firkser (knee) is questionable for Week 2 against the Seahawks.

Seahawks WR D'Wayne Eskridge (concussion) is out for Week 2 against the Titans.

Seahawks RB Rashaad Penny (calf) is listed as doubtful for Week 2 against the Titans.

GPP STACKS:

As a reminder, when you're stacking in GPP, you always want to run someone back from the opposing team. One-sided games often turn to a running back seeing higher-than-usual volume or the back-ups start to play. For a stack to really pop, the other team needs to keep things competitive.

Chargers: Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler or Keenan Allen, Mike Williams or Jared Cook (CeeDee Lamb coming back)

Cowboys: Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott or Amari Cooper or Cedrick Wilson (Keenan Allen or Mike Williams coming back)

Seahawks: Russell Wilson, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett or Gerald Everett (A.J. Brown or Julio Jones coming back)

Cardinals: Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, Chase Edmonds or Christian Kirk (Cook, Jefferson or Thielen coming back)

Possible Lower-Owned Stacks:

Eagles: Jalen Hurts, Mile Sanders, DeVonta Smith or Dallas Goedert (Deebo coming back)

Bengals: Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins or Tyler Boyd (Allen Robinson coming back)

Titans: Ryan Tannehill, A.J. Brown, Derrick Henry or Julio Jones (Metcalf or Lockett coming back)

Rams: Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods (Pascal or Hines coming back)

Saints: Jameis Winston, Alvin Kamara, Marquez Callaway (D.J. Moore or Robby Anderson coming back)
