Week 5 Daily Fantasy Football Thread

We should do a weekly, daily fantasy thread. Talk about the top matchups vs price. Can be for different sites although I do prefer Fanduel. I'm looking through Fanduel and finding players vs price and players vs teams that stick out.

I'm liking Rashad Jennings(7200) and Andre Ellington(6800) at RB right now. Leveon Bell(8600) has a juicy matchup but a fairly high price. Doug Martin(7100) has a good matchup but a sketchy knee.

Some WR's I'm liking are Keenen Allen(7000) Kelvin Benjamin(7100) Jeremy Maclin(7600) Higher priced guys I like are Antonio Brown(9000) but I can't see myself paying that price as much as I like him. Julio Jones (8800) AJ Green(8500)

TE's I like are Bennet (7300) Walker(6400) Miller(5900) and I like Kelce(5300) mainly for the price and potential but not the matchup.

I really like Suisham(4800) as the K this week. Poor Jaguars defense means plenty of trips into their territory, and the Steelers like doing dumb things near the redzone under todd haley. Should easily get 3-4 fg attempts and several xpa's. The cheap price definitely helps as well. Novak(5100) would be my next choice.

Defense's Seattle(5500) has a great matchup getting WAS who would have had the seasons worst game if it wasn't for TB the week before. CIN(5300) vs NE is another good looking matchup. and I like the Lions(4800) vs BUF with the first start from Orton since December of last year. He also hasn't had any playing time with the Bills this season, including preseason.

Let's hear some other opinions.

 

I would be more specific in the title if you sticky it. The casual person may not know what the abbreviations are. I would advise that for all members to start doing in their threads. People may not know what DFS, SS, WW means...

 

i don't mind. i'd actually like to start playing in one of these.

 

This is the lineup I have currently. Obviously banking on Eli continuing where he left off last week and ATL DEF not being good. Love the RB match ups too much not to use them.

I'm sure I'll tinker some more. It's a Sunday league. I don't do Thursday ones because I got screwed when a player was a last minute scratch because of an illness

 

What will the new Daily feature include. Will it be the spreadsheet like it was last week, or a few optimal lineups like this week? Is it a part of the Lifetime/One-Year/Monthly or is it an entirely separate deal?


Edit: I think this was missed @Kurt
