Welcome to the DFS Playbook for NFL Week 7!

It finally looked like we were going to have a smooth week coming into the games this time, but that just wouldn't be the NFL's style this year, would it be? In addition to the typical "Dalvin Cook won't play" bombshell that hits us each week, we were obliterated with the news that the Browns traded Carlos Hyde to the Jaguars on Friday. Wow. Just wow. Why is this such a bombshell? Well, in addition to Carlos Hyde being taken off the table this week, how about Nick Chubb 's price tag? He's $4800 on FanDuel and $3600 on Draft Kings. BOOM! The ownership rates are going to be through the roof, so it makes your cash game lineups that much easier to house Todd Gurley , but what about the GPP tournament lineups? Imagine who you're able to fit in if you were to go with Nick Chubb and one of the bargain backs we offer to you below? We'll worry about lineup construction Sunday morning when the rest of the news shakes the tree a little more and we see if there are any other last-minute pivots.

Before we get to the Playbook itself, I want to mention a quick change for this week. With the Chiefs/Bengals game moved to Sunday night and the Giants/Falcons game on Monday, I am going to limit the Playbook to players only on the Main Slate. If you're playing contests that include the Sunday and Monday night games, the options are abundant. Patrick Mahomes , Andy Dalton and Matt Ryan are most definitely in-play and if you're feeling a little risky, Eli Manning is as well. The same goes for all of the running backs -- Kareem Hunt , Joe Mixon , Saquon Barkley and Tevin Coleman . Heck, if you want a cheapie, then you could even try Ito Smith , though not my favorite given the rest of the options. As for wideouts, Tyreek Hill , A.J. Green , Tyler Boyd , Odell Beckham , Julio Jones are all top options. Do you see where I'm going here? So many options, just in these two games, is going to clutter a Main Slate Playbook this week. Folks are going to bulk up on players from this game and it's best for us to focus our energy on the Sunday games. The main slate is where millions are made anyway, right? So let's get to it...a Main Slate Playbook...
