Here's my optimal Fanduel lineup for Week 10. This lineup includes all games Thursday through Monday. Play this lineup in 50/50 or double up games. This lineup is built for reliable points from reliable players with one exception, Torrey Smith. I had to force Torrey into the optimal lineup tool because our computer flushed him out. Keep in mind I forced C. Kaepernick in last week and we all saw what happened there; no worries you can use our optimal lineup tool and remove Torrey if you don't trust him. Nevertheless, here's why Torrey is in the optimal lineup this week, for the first time since we went live. In Week 10 T. Smith faces a Titans defense that has allowed an average of 28.6 Fanduel fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Also consider, he'll be matched up against Blidi Wreh-Wilson, who can't cover a bed with a sheet. Did I mention his Fanduel salary is only $5,900.
T. Smith's Production over the last 4 weeks:
Rec | Yards | TD | |
@Buccaneers | 4 | 51 | 2 |
Falcons | 3 | 81 | 1 |
@Bengals | 0 | 0 | 0 |
@Steelers | 4 | 63 | 1 |
As you can see from the chart above, T. Smith is touchdown dependent but all things considered I think his salary of $5,900 warrants a play.
Here's The Week 10 Optimal Lineup
PIT | B. Roethlisberger | Q | PIT | at NYJ | 8300 |
ARI | A. Ellington | R | ARI | vs. StL | 8100 |
CIN | J. Hill | R | CIN | vs. Cle | 6900 |
OAK | M. Rivera | T | OAK | vs. Den | 5700 |
PIT | A. Brown | W | PIT | at NYJ | 9100 |
BAL | T. Smith | W | BAL | vs. Ten | 5900 |
PIT | M. Bryant | W | PIT | at NYJ | 6100 |
ARI | C. Catanzaro | K | ARI | vs. StL | 4700 |
Dal | Dallas Cowboys | D | Dal | at Jac | 5200 |
The image below is our optimal lineup tool. As you can see, I used our remove function to exclude the Denver Broncos from the player pool. This is because the first optimal lineup produced included Denver's defense and prefer to spend my money on other skill positions, not defense.
