Before getting into my picks this week, we have a special guest who will be making his picks for us.
His name is Matt Rittle, you can find him on Twitter @FFRittle, and he is a fantasy football writer at 4for4Football, and a contributor to RotoViz. In addition, Matt is a daily fantasy football fanatic.
Here are his picks for the week:
POS | Player | Price |
QB | A. Dalton | $12,100 |
QB | A. Smith | $11,800 |
RB | J. Charles | $14,500 |
RB | J. Starks | $8,000 |
WR | A. Green | $13,000 |
WR | A. Boldin | $11,000 |
TE | J. Graham | $12,400 |
FLEX | K. Hunter | $7,300 |
FLEX | D. Brown | $9,900 |
Some words from Mr. Rittle, “Maybe it's just me, but I feel the top options this weekend are clear with Jamaal Charles, LeSean McCoy, AJ Green and of course Jimmy Graham rounding out the players I love the most. These guys are some of the most talented (non-QB) fantasy players going this weekend, and all also have some of the best match-ups available to them. Call me greedy or too-superstar-minded, but the point of this lineup is to get as many of those plays in as I can.
Rather than choosing a few players at each tier, focusing on one lineup seems to be the best way to win. This lineup is used for many head to head match-ups and in multiplier tournaments. If you want to maintain a steady flow of cash, play the head to head games. But if you are looking to “go big or go home” try the multiplier tournaments.
I have found that the best players play “double ups” exclusively, then put a few lineups in for the big tournaments. That way, should you not place in a big tournament, the ability to make money is still there with the multipliers. In multipliers, the idea is not to have the “best” lineup of the bunch. You just have to be in the top half. This requires different structure to a lineup.
Here is my lineup for this week, there is only one lineup for this week because of the limited number of players.
POS | Player | Price |
QB | A. Rodgers | $13,100 |
QB | C. Kaepernick | $12,800 |
RB | P. Thomas | $9,300 |
RB | D. Brown | $9,900 |
WR | J. Nelson | $12,100 |
WR | A. Boldin | $11,000 |
TE | V. Davis | $10,100 |
FLEX | M. Crabtree | $10,600 |
FLEX | R. Cobb | $8,100 |
As you can see, this week I am high on the Niners vs. Packers game in terms of passing. With both Rodgers and Kaepernick, and each of their favorite targets, I am banking on a high scoring game, which may occur in Green Bay this weekend. Considering the Packers will need to score a ton of points and the fact that the Niners will need to match the firepower of Aaron Rodgers, this has the makings of a 38-34 game, which is what I am banking on. At running back, I went with two players who will get the most touches for their price in Donald Brown and Pierre Thomas. Each should see at least ten touches and could see a number of receptions. Donald Brown has become the lead back in Indianapolis, and with the Chiefs defense bringing pressure, Andrew Luck will look to dump it off to Brown all day long. The same goes for the Saints. Pierre Thomas is the safety outlet almost every time he is on the field, and with the Eagles looking to pressure Drew Brees, Thomas will be the beneficiary.
Good luck to everyone this week.
