Quick note: There are many, many injury situations that are going to skew things a bit going in. So many guys are game time decisions and whether they play will cascade decisions all the way down. I'm going to do my best here to highlight some of the decisions, but monitoring news up to lineup lock will be particularly important tonight.   Point Guard Russell Westbrook - FD 10100 DK 11000 DFSTR 8200 Even though Durant may soon be in line for a minutes bump which will hurt Westbrook's top end value, the fact remains that few other players in the league can score as many fantasy points in as little a time as Westbrook. Case in point: he put up 50 fantasy points (FD) in 27 freaking minutes against the Suns last time out. That's an astounding number and there simply aren't many players who can do it. He has a number of components to his game, but one of them that allows him to pile up points is that for a point guard he actually rebounds well and subsequently begins his own fast break. This is invaluable and he controls so much of the action. The Kings aren't bad against opposing point guards, but Westbrook isn't your average one. If Davis doesn't play Westbrook is out system's top overall point scorer and for the money he's the best top end value. Zach LaVine - FD 5100 DK 5200 DFSTR 3700 Here's to hoping Mo Williams sits out again. Point guard is a very dicey situation after Russell and I'll happily slot in Lavine at the point if he is going to see close to forty minutes of run. That he does very little with the time he spends on the court is concerning, but his price is so low relative to the minutes that I'm willing to wing and prayer it if he's just going to handle the ball the whole time. Not a great matchup, but again, point guard is fraught with peril tonight. Trey Burke - FD 5700 DK 5400 DFSTR 5200 Woof. See what I mean? He's more...

Draftster has a ton of cool stuff going on including the a whole host of Freerolls.    Quarterback Colt McCoy-$3000 Not going to be a guy you see topping a ton of quarterback value lists but this explanation is incredibly simple. He is the starting quarterback coming in at the absolute minimum on Draftster. Case close. He’s the best points per dollar player in the system and it isn’t even close. Reminder, this doesn’t mean he is the favorite to score the most raw points out of the position. Not by a long shot. But the deal you are getting to play the starting QB really for any team coming this cheap is something you really can’t pass up. Honestly, it makes me want to get more money in Draftster than usual. This is one of those rare opportunities to have a crazy advantage over anyone other squad that doesn’t have him. Those teams are -EV right from Jump Street. I’m not even going to recommend another quarterback play. It doesn’t make sense. He throws one touchdown and you’ve basically made your money on the guy.   Running Backs Rashad Jennings-$5100 If the reports are to be believed and the Giants plan on bringing him more into the fold this week through the run, then you are getting a crazy great deal on Jennings. Washington is a fairly stout run defense, ranking in the top ten of the league. But one way I see this game playing out is the Giants being able to stop the crappy Washington “offense” and controlling the ball for a better portion of the game. I don’t think that’s totally wishful thinking either considering Washington’s...

Now go get that deposit bonus.   Passing Touchdowns There are a number of quality quarterback options to choose from this week in this format. I really couldn’t fault on using a handful of guys. This is where you undoubtedly will see the most separation. Peyton Manning Fairly obvious play here. He’s thrown for at least three touchdowns in six of his last seven games. Though not the biggest line of the day, this game does project to be high scoring. One issue with Manning I will say is that the Chargers are a solid team against the pass. Manning isn’t necessarily matchup proof, though he’s close especially in a non-salary cap format. The Broncos are happy to throw a ton no matter the situation and I think that always puts Peyton in play. They are also among the highest in the league at throwing in the red zone. That’s just the stat we need to pile on the touchdowns even in suboptimal matchups. Drew Brees The bad news first: He and the Saints were just terrible last week against the Bengals. Let’s get that part out of the way. They got smoked in a true headscratcher of a performance. Personally, I think it’s an outlier in terms of Brees’ production as he’s been insanely accurate over the course of the season. A great cure for the hangover of a bad offensive game is the Bears’ defense. They get rained on through the air and are allowing the third worse net yards through the air per game. I do wish this game was in the dome instead of outside in Chicago at night. That actually could be a real thing that hampers the Saints. But otherwise, an accurate quarterback facing a porous secondary is just the right kind of scenario.   All-Purpose Yards Le’Veon Bell Going to be a very popular play this week and with...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Russell Westbrook - FD 9900 DK 10700 DFSTR 8200 On such a short night it is important to make every single decision correctly. And it will be tough knowing where to allocate your bigger dollars especially without the access to any significant punt plays. With Durant still on restricted minutes Westbrook becomes one of the highest usage guys around. That he can do just about everything on the stat sheet keeps the floor high. This is where I'll be putting my big dollar tonight. He's averaging 25/7/7 over his last three and is facing Kyrie who's not exactly known for defense. Patrick Beverley - FD 5300 DK 5600 DFSTR 4800 Allows the perfect way to spend less and get more that we need on a short slate. The Rockets are playing super short handed all around. Beverely got the start last night and should see in the mid 30's worth of minutes. He's becomes a bit more of a scorer of late, which is encouraging. He's known primarily as a defender and that's true, but in this matchup against Collison (another good defender) I'll take Patrick at the discount.   Shooting Guard James Harden - FD 10300 DK 11400 DFSTR 9400 He's the other big money guy I'll get my hands on tonight. That came out weird but you get the point. With Howard out of the lineup he's the primary facilitator of the offense (though having Beverley back takes that pressure off him some). Harden is probably the safest big money play on the board. It didn't look like he was hampered at all last night and should be a full go tonight. The choices at SG are so thin that I don't get the sense you need to fade him tonight. Consider drawing straws on the other guys.   Small Forward Rudy Gay - FD 8500 DK 8900 DFSTR 7700 Since Boogie has been out, Gay has taken more than 17 shots per game and played high 30s minutes very routinely. And at this point, Trevor Ariza's defensive reputation is outstripping...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Cory Joseph - FD 4700 DK 5000 DFSTR 3000 Was a huge percentage start in cash games last night and I don't expect that to change really at all tonight (though it'll dip some on the performance) so long as Tony Parker is out again. Seeing as how Parker was ruled out long before game time, it doesn't seem like he's going to come back right away. Of course, this is worth monitoring leading into game time, but if Parker sits again then you are getting huge minutes out of a decent point guard for very low costs. And you might grab some extra value considering how bad he was Tuesday. But he played all the minutes and that means a lot at these prices. Kemba Walker - FD 7200 DK 8000 DFSTR 7100 It's been some time since I put Walker on this list, but I think his price is at a point where you should strongly consider him in this matchup. The Celtics play at one of the fastest paces in the league and are allowing 7% more scoring than league average to opposing point guards. You are getting a lower priced starting PG who pushes above 35 minutes every night. He's prone to a disappearing act or two now and again. But I just love this matchup. Jeff Teague - FD 7300 DK 8200 DFSTR 6400 If he plays his minutes Teague seems to pay these prices easily. It's just the minutes that are sometimes in question. Regardless, he's had some huge games of late I suspect this could be another one. If the Sixers stay scrappy even better as we want Teague getting full run. It's worth it to note that on the season Philly has been a bit better against point guards, but I think the pace of this game favors Teague.   Shooting Guard Wesley Matthews - FD 6100 DK 6200 DFSTR 5100 I know some of this is Kevin Martin's fault, but overall the T-Wolves have been bruuuttaaaallll* against shooting guards this season. They are getting just blitzed by the position, allowing 12% more scoring and 13% more...
