Who's ready for some NFL Week 2 DFS? Are you fully up to date on all the latest NFL news? Have you read through our DFS coaching articles? Have you made your way through the NFL Week 2 DFS Playbook? Watched the DFS Show? Built some DFS lineups on your own? Hopefully the answers to all of those questions is a resounding yes and you're ready for the final step to your Sunday process. If not, what are you waiting for? You'd like to think all this money wins itself, but it just doesn't work that way. You have to put in the time. You have to put in the work. Do that, and not only will you become a better DFS player, but you'll consistently finish in the money and from there, you start to level up on your entry fees and play in stringer contests. 

 

 

Just a few notes here about the lineups below...

The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the DFS 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 or even on the Fantasy Alarm Sunday Gameday 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. Sometimes, correlation is needed.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you; a sounding board, as I said. 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.

**Be sure to check the Playbook and Dart Board for late changes

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan officially ruled out QB Brock Purdy for Sunday’s game at New Orleans. Mac Jones will make his first start as 49ers QB.

There is “no sense of urgency” in the New York Giants’ organization to bench Russell Wilson and start rookie Jaxson Dart

Browns activated rookie RB Quinshon Judkins, who now is set to make his NFL debut Sunday in Baltimore.

Cowboys signed WR Ryan Flournoy from their practice squad to their active roster. 

Patriots are trading WR Ja’Lynn Polk and a 2028 7th-round pick to the Saints for a 2027 6th-round pick

Eagles ruled out TE Dallas Goedert (knee), RB Will Shipley (oblique) and T Cameron Williams (shoulder) for Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch in Kansas City

Dolphins placed OT Austin Jackson on the injured reserve list.

Bills DT Ed Oliver is out Sunday vs. the Jets due to his ankle injury, HC Sean McDermott announced.

Players ruled out for Sunday include: J.C. Latham, T’Vondre Sweat, Brock Purdy, Chase Young, Julian Blackmon, Trevor Penning, Nick Emmanwori, Joey Porter, DeShon Elliott, Derrick Harmon, Josh Reynolds, Jay Tufele, Ed Oliver, Christian Gonzalez, Keion White, Darren Waller, Storm Duck, Austin Jackson, Benito Jones, Daron Bland, Kyler Gordon, Michael Hall, Isaiah Likely, Patrick Ricard, Dallas Goedert, Will Shipley, Jalen Royals, Charvarius Ward, Jaylon Jones, Dre Greenlaw, Nate Adkins, Christian Darrisaw, Andrew Van Ginkel and Jeff Okudah.

OTHER NFL NEWS:

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 2 against the Saints.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been ruled out for the Week 2 matchup against the Eagles.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Colts EDGE Laiatu Latu (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Broncos.

WEATHER REPORT:

NE/MIA – potential for a pop-up storm but nothing that should affect the game

 

 

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.
