PREVIEW:

This Saturday slate is an interesting one because we can almost just get away with game stacking the Pats/Colts game due to a lot of Covid related news in the first game. We already know that the Browns will be starting Nick Mullens, and that they will be without Jarvis Landry, and Kareem Hunt. Tough to say how well they will do on offense as Baker has not been great, and they will still have Nick Chubb at RB. That being said they will also be without Austin Hooper so you could get away with playing David Njoku at a cheap price tag at TE.

This is probably the most straightforward slate that we will get all season.

OK SO AS I WRITING THIS THE LV VS CLE GAME WAS POSTPONED NOT SURE WHAT THAT MEANS AS OF RIGHT NOW FOR THIS SLATE.

NEWS:

BROWNS OUT: Baker, Jarvis, Hooper, Hunt

RAIDERS: OUT: WALLER, DRAKE

PATS: HARRIS, TAYLOR

QB:

So if you have to I do not mind the idea of just punting at QB and rolling with Nick Mullens. Basically, all he needs to do is throw a TD to exceed value. I do think that the Browns will have a much more of run-focused approach, however. I honestly do not mind this approach as this is the approach that 3 of the 4 teams on this slate take. They all want to be able to run the ball as much as possible, besides the Raiders, but I do not really like Derek Carr due to Marcus Mariota being more involved in the offense and due to the matchup.

So if you do not want to play Nick Mullen I am fine rolling with Mac Jones. Not an ideal play by any means just a cheap play that should hit value.

RB:

RB on this slate is really the make or break point and this is due to us having four clear-cut options, and they are all priced correctly. Those 4 RBs are JT, Chubb, Jacobs, and Stevenson.

To me, I will just be locking in JT, and Stevenson. JT is just a work horse, and with Harris OUT Stevenson should easily be able to hit value at his price point. Especially given the fact that he should be able to score a TD. After that, it is between Jacobs and Chubb.

Chubb has the easier matchup but Jacobs is basically that whole offense right now. He has been getting a ton of usage and for me, it will be tough to pass up on him as a play.

That being said I rank them JT, Stevenson, Jacobs, and Chubb. But all 4 are basically interchangeable.

WR/TE: With it being so easy to make any build work I will just be rolling with Renfrow, and Pittman is all of my builds. Yes they have tougher matchups but I think that they will be able to do enough for us to help us cash. After that I do really like DPJ with Landry OUT this week. I do like Kendrick Bourne as well but I'd only play him if I am playing Daniel Jones at QB.

For TE I am just going with Hunter Henry or paying down for David Njoku.

OPTIMAL BUILD:
