Optimal Yahoo Lineups For Week 5

October 9, 2015 by Kurt Turner

Here's my top 3 optimal lineups for Yahoo cash games. You can enter these lineups and expect to finish in the top 45 percentile.  When playing cash games you want to use consistent players with a high average and high floor. I used our optimal lineup tool to create these lineups and used the following parameters to get the magic working for cash games. First I removed all players facing a top five defense with our filtering. Then I filter/sort by position, one at a time, and removed all players with a negative RAdv/PAdv unless they are facing a "green" FPAR (fantasy points allowed ranking). Also, while going through each position one by one I'm looking for players with low floors and averages then removing them. All of this work leaves me with about 80 players to optimize against and makes for some seriously reliable lineups for cash games on Yahoo. If you're not using a tool or doing some sort of data analysis then you're simply throwing your money away. Sure you could get lucky but listen, this is a game of skill and you shouldn't leave it to lady luck when creating your lineups. Try our optimal lineup tool and you won't be disappointed.

The #1 Lineup For Yahoo

  • Philip Rivers
  • Dion Lewis
  • Justin Forsett
  • Julian Edelman
  • Leonard Hankerson
  • Vincent Jackson
  • Martellus Bennett
  • Kamar Aiken - this guy is the only truly high risk factor and you could be safe and remove him if J. Haden plays. We limited this pick to only show up in a couple lineups to limit our exposure; which is a very nice feature in our tool.
  • Denver - another option is the New York Giants who are pretty low priced considering the matchup. Use them to free up cash to replace Aiken in smaller 50/50 cash games.
Here's the number 1 optimal lineup for Yahoo. Use this is 50/50 cash games with confidence.

Lineup #3

  • Philip Rivers
  • Dion Lewis
  • Justin Forsett
  • Pierre Garcon - you'll need to check his injury status but he should be good to go. Injuries play a large role in finding value picks.
  • John Brown
  • Julian Edelman
  • Leonard Hankerson
  • Charles Clay
  • New York Giants
