First thing you need to do is look at Vegas Lines. Find the high scoring games and highlight them. I focus on these games for my cash lineups. If the game is a close one with high total I really look for cash players in that game. These teams should be moving up and down the field all day and hopefully score lots of points.\u00a0I will highlight players that I want to use by giving them stars (see below). These are players for both GPP and Cash Lineups.

It would not surprise me if the Jets upset the Bills here.\u00a0In the Lions game Ameer Abdullah has a 150-yard day. Arizona is so weak stopping the run.<\/p>\n<p>Lamar Miller is a back I like as he may be the only viable back to play. Volume equal points, so for cash games I will take Miller and either use Bell or David Johnson and move on. Wide receivers you can see who I like above but Brown, Benjamin, Jones, Fitzgerald and Baldwin are my front runners.<\/p>\n<p>For Kickers, I am looking at Bryant, Bailey, Prater and Dawson.<\/p>\n<p>If you are playing the Million Dollar contests on both sites you need to find a player or players that have upside but will be low owned. I really like the combination of Brian Hoyer and Pierre Garcon. I believe they will be playing form behind and Hoyer will be throwing all day. I believe Garcon has the best chance for a big game. I would not play that combo in smaller contests as it a boom or bust play.<\/p>\n<h2>Cash Game Players to Consider:<\/h2>\n<p>QB: Brady, Cousins, Rodgers, Brees, Ryan<\/p>\n<p>RB: Johnson, Bell, Miller, MCoy , Gordon<\/p>\n<p>WR: Brown, Jones, Becham ,Evans ,Nelson, AJ Green, Michael Thomas<\/p>\n<p>TE: Gronkowski, Reed, Olsen, Graham, Eifert<\/p>\n<p>Kickers: Matt Bryant, Justin Tucker, Mason Crosby, Dan Bailey<\/p>\n<p>Defense: Bills, Houston<\/p>\n<p>GPP Players to Consider:<\/p>\n<p>QB: Brees, Ryan, Hoyer, Winston, Mariota, Carr<\/p>\n<p>RB: Bell, Johnson, Freeman, Murray, Ajayi, Gurley, Hunt, Hyde, Powell, , Kamara<\/p>\n<p>WR: Beckham, Evans, Brown, Jones, Michael Thomas, Amari Cooper, Dez Bryant, Brandon Marshall, Pierre Garcon, Hopkins<\/p>\n<p>Kicker; Bryant, Gostkowski, Vinateri<\/p>\n<p>Defense: Denver, Seattle, Rams, Bills,<\/p>\n<p>Some contrarian plays in GPPs; Play your QB with two wide receivers from same game if total projected points is over 50. Hook up a punt returner and his defense. If he can run back a TD you will get point for both positions. Take two lower price running backs and pay up for wide receivers, example, Ameer Abdullah &amp; Demarco Murray then use AJ Green, Antonio Brown and Amari Cooper.<\/p>\n<p>I am posting free &amp; premium lineups on our site for you to use.
