In this article, we'll be breaking down the top news around the league and provide you with an analysis of what we expect to happen. We will also provide you with an "every lineup guy" section, just like we did for baseball. As always, these picks are informed by our lineup optimizer, the NFL spread for each contest, year to date NFL stats, and so on. So let's welcome football back into our lives, and let's get this show on the show on the road!
In case you didn’t notice, on Saturday we released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and Player Lab which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings. It’s a robust set of tools; well beyond anything we’ve ever had and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.
Using tools like these for the NFL season is crucial and you can grab a free trial to test out yourself.
A quick heads up - we post an updates article every day in the early afternoon, EST, to catch everyone up on how things are changing as a result of whatever news has come through. We also have great talks in the comments of that article. Hope to see you there!
Melvin Gordon (SD) vs. IND
Charles Sims (TB) VS. LA
I see both of these running backs being highly owned across the industry this weekend and I don't blame the public. With Danny Woodhead out for the year, Melvin Gordon will take on a much bigger role. He will have more goal line opportunities and possibly play a lot more 3rd downs. This is his time to show this Chargers organization that he is "the guy" at running back and I see him get off to a brilliant start.
The same thing goes for Charles Sims. With Doug Martin out for the next couple of weeks, Charles Sims will now get the majority of carries. We already know that he's a PPR machine and now that he will easily see double-digit carries makes him a clear-cut starter, if you're trying to save at the position. These two guys will be highly owned, especially [Melvin], so do whatever you want with that information!
Joe Flacco, Mike Wallace and Dennis Pitta (BAL) vs. JAX
Everyone knows that the top stack of the week is that Monday night game featuring the Saints and Falcons. So rather than boring you with information you already know, I thought I'd go ahead and give you a stack that might catch you by surprise. So without further ado -- I present to you -- the one-and-only, Baltimore Ravens.
Yeah you might think I'm crazy and maybe I am, but I like this stack in tournaments. Yes, Flacco and Wallace are as streaky as they come, but they have great matchups and Vegas has this game sitting at a 47-point total. That total is tied for 3rd highest on the week and I wouldn't be surprised if it went over.
Flacco and company will be going up against a Jags' defense that struggled last week against the Chargers. They gave up a total of 357 total yards and 38 points (yikes). With the Ravens inabilty to run the football, I'm expecting Flacco to have a busy day throwing the football and racking up those yards!

If you're going for the most upside try pairing at least one skill position player with your qb. You're starting cousins, so of look at Jordan Reed, and Jamison Crowder. Just my thoughts.
