NFL DFS: Week 2 Main Slate Breakdown - Cash Lineup, Pivot Lineups, GPP Plays, and Values
This ends up being a tougher slate just due to the amount of great RB plays that we are getting. I see 7 as great options, and given their prices they are all the correct plays. For GPPs I am basically only getting to those 7. For Cash/Single Entry it is tough to really dial it down to 3. Basically I am spreading my exposures between, CMC, Bijan, Henry, Saquan, Javonte Williams, Bucky Irving, and Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones projects to get a TD, and should get around 4 points just in the receiving game. This makes him tough to avoid. The issue is the 4 studs on this slate could all go for 30 plus and it would not be shocking.
We aren't really getting elite WR/QB options on this slate, just plenty of sound clicks given their prices.
TE this week we are getting a ton of quality sub 4K options. It is a very strange week for week 2. Let's get into it.
The player pool is listed below. Any updates for the slate will be called out in the Discord Chat.
Key news baked in
- Kyler Murray out. Carson Wentz starts for Minnesota
- Zay Flowers out / not practicing
- Brock Bowers out
- Nico Collins out
- Sam Darnold out. Drew Lock starts in Seattle
- Jordan Mason to IR. Aaron Jones is the Viking back
- Ladd McConkey dealing with ribs. Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris jump
- Highest total on the slate: Cowboys-Commanders at 50.5
Build rule
Start with one running back core and one value receiver or tight end. There is no must-play quarterback. Punt QB to the stack you are already on: Dak if you have Lamb or Pickens, Wentz if you have Jefferson, Love if you have Golden or Watson.
Quarterback
Dak Prescott, DAL vs WAS — $6,400 | 19.7 proj | 11.9% own (Mid Exposure)
Primary stack quarterback. 50.5 total, Dallas 27.25 implied. Pair him with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, or both. Jake Ferguson is the cheap third piece.
