Attempting to rebound from consecutive < 1 point H2H Winner-Take-All losses.

Here's my 10-team league lineup. Will post my H2H lineup Saturday evening.

Eli
Joique
Ben Tate
Julio
TY
Michael Floyd
Julius Thomas
Nick Folk
Jaguars D

My thinking: Eli and Giants showing improvement every week offensively. Eagles have allowed multiple TD passes to Kirk Cousins and Austin Davis.

Joique Bell without a possible Reggie Bush and Calvin Johnson in the lineup, I like that a lot. Don't think anything explosive, but I'll take 16 carries for 62 yards, a few catches and a goal line plunge into the end zone.

Ben Tate: Dude's healthy. Down 28-3 entering the second half last week against the Titans, I believe Tate still churned out ~45 in the last two periods. Gives me confidence Cleveland is committed to running the football.

The big game is coming for TY Hilton. 15 catches, nearly 200 yards in his last two games. Debated between Reggie Wayne and TY on this one as I'm not sure who Jonathan Joseph is going to line up on -- both players are the same price on FanDuel.

Julio Jones and Antonio Brown were close for me. Brown has always torched Joe Haden, but only four (meaningful) catches against Jacksonville? Is it really wrong to go with Julio in the dome?

Michael Floyd I felt was the best price of all the wide receivers. In two games at home, at least five catches and 100 yards. Believe he gets into the end zone for the first time this season. I think Carson plays, but I'm certainly rolling the dice.

Julius Thomas needs no explanation.

Nick Folk: The have to run at least 8 plays inside the 30 this game, right?

I think Jaguars D is a nice, cheap play. Divisional game, on the road, starting to rally around Blake Bortles.

pretty solid lineup. I ended up going with a few of the same guys you are. $2 entry in the 60K Thu NFL Snap contest..

Eli
Lamar Miller
Branden Oliver
Antonio Brown
Julio Jones
Victor Cruz
Niles Paul
Robbie Gould
Titans D

pretty much think the same thing you do as far as to what to expect from Eli and the Giant passing game against the Eagles.

I went cheap at RB and loaded up at WR.

feel like Niles Paul could be a sneaky play against the Cardinals who usually aren't the best against TE's.

figured Lamar Miller should have a good week as the Dolphins will probably want to run the ball a lot and chew time off the clock to try and have a chance to stay with Green Bay. Plus GB's defense is one of the worst in rushing defense.

I'm taking the Titans D against the Jags. They scored a decent amount against the Chiefs and Cowboys at the beginning of the season before they ran into some trouble with Indy and Cincinnati. Also, Cleveland doesn't turnover the ball a lot so it wasn't surprising they didn't do much last week.

Hey if you only go after the hottest girl in the bar your chances are slim. But if you go after 9 decent chicks, 2 hot chicks, and one smoking chick, you have a decent chance at some action!

Has Bell been cleared yet? Last I checked he was not. I need him this week with Jennings hurt for me.

I think he'll get points, but it won't be easy. Giants D played really well outside of one half.

Frank Gore

I hate playing a back against a good front on the road on Monday Night Football.

How can you hate? For my money, the No. 1 WR in fantasy this year.

switched Witten out with Delanie Walker. I went back and looked at Witten's game log on FD.

didn't realize it was that bad. I guess he's been more involved with run blocking this year.

i just kinda feel like McCoy is due for a big game. Maybe the prime time lights will do the trick.

I think Gore will have a solid game. The Rams do have a talented d-line but I think they've underachieved so far and remember Gore having a big game up there last year in STL.

okay, one last edit to the 2nd lineup.

Matt Ryan
Matt Forte
Bishop Sankey
Antonio Brown
Golden Tate
Mohamed Sanu
Larry Donnell
Robbie Gould
Vikings D

went for cheaper value in Sankey as he has a good matchup and should get the bulk of the carries as Greene is listed as doubtful for Sunday.

50/50 Lineup:
Russell Wilson SEA v DAL
Matt Forte CHI @ ATL
Andre Williams NYG @ PHI
Demaryius Thomas DEN @ NYJ
Golden Tate DET @ MIN
Rueben Randle NYG @ PHI
Owen Daniels BAL @ TB
Robbie Gould CHI @ ATL
Denver Broncos DEN @ NYJ

I like Russel Wilson, DT88 and Fotre as solid plays, although I expect they will be highly owned after last week's performance, which is not a big negative in H2H and 50/50 formats. Tate should deliver a solid performance with CJ out and I expect Eli to be in shoot out with Foles, hence the Randle start. Williams and Daniels are pure bargain plays.

GPP - $5 $60k pool:
Eli Manning NYG @ PHI
Lamar Miller MIA v GB
Le'Veon Bell PIT @ CLE
Victor Cruz NYG @ PHI
Wes Welker DEN @ NYJ
Jordy Nelson GB @ MIA
Martellus Bennett CHI @ ATL
Ryan Succop TEN v JAC
Washington Redskins WAS @ ARI

I am going for the correlation with Eli and Cruz - again, expecting a shootout and high scoring game (over/under is 51 points). Hoping for Welker to have a break out performance with Peyton feeding him the ball this week. The overall theme here is owning guys who I think will have a breakout. To get into the money in large GPP pools, you need some guys with high risk/high reward. I was also suprised to see Bennet's price so low for TE ($5,900 on FD), so I see him as a solid play in game with a 54.5 over/under.

Currently third in 10-team league. H2H got blown the frick out.

Down 6 to second place team. I got Eli.

Have third locked down at least. First place had Flacco, so he's running away.

Giants D finally gets a stand.
