All updated projections for the most current NFL season are here: weekly Yahoo projections - weekly DraftKings projections - weekly Fanduel projections.
Week 15 is loaded to the rim with value plays based on Fanduel's salaries and we're going to exploit them with our optimal lineup tool. This weeks optimal lineup obviously features Johnny Manziel. Here's what I got to say about Manziel, don't over play him! I caught myself doing this when creating my Fanduel lineups and had to go back and make some adjustments. Considering Roethlisberger's matchup in week 15 against Atlanta you'll want to be sure to have a couple lineups with Roethlisberger however, Bell could be the one to produce the most points considering how bad Atlanta's run defense has been this year. I'll play a couple lineups with Roethlisberger and a couple with Bell to ensure I've got both in play as one is sure to go off this week.
Now for the moment you've been waiting for, my customized Fanduel optimal lineup. Play at your own risk and be sure to play more than 3 or 4 lineups!
Fanduel Optimal Lineup Week 15
Our optimal lineup for Fanduel this week doesn't include the usual stack of QB/WR. I'm avoiding the Manziel / Gordon stack on purpose because I don't feel Manziel gets many passing TD, I'm after him for his rushing yards and rushing touchdown potential. Our optimal lineup tool for Fanduel is very inexpensive and only include the consistent and high upside players for the week. We remove the Thursday players from the pool on Friday morning so you can work on your Sunday lineups. We've added more stats to help you make a logical lineup each week and take the guess work out of staying below the salary cap for your team. Our Daily fantasy tools save you time and help you win more money on Fanduel and DraftKings.
Consider This Strategy for Week 15
For week 15 I like the following stacks:
- Roethlisberger and Brown
- Brees and Jimmy (very hard to trust but ya)
- Manning and Beckham
At running-back I especially like Forte, Bell, Blount and Forsett. For value RB's I like Chris Johnson in a revenge game against Tennessee and Murray against KC whom he torched for over 100 yards on 4 carries earlier this year. Let the tool calculate the optimal lineup around those players and of course you can remove any players you don't like from the results. If you remove too many players you could very well be trying to create an "impossible" lineup due to salary cap. When this happens the wheel just spins and spins until it's done searching. Please less the computer search until it either finishes or tells you that it can't find an optimal solution.
Good luck this week and members please post your questions in the forum.
