Watson - FD 4300 DK 5000 DFSTR 3000 Let's keep things simple here and not confuse the issue. Watson needs to be in all of your lineups and under no circumstances are you to start anyone else at the point guard position. Am I making myself clear here? To start, his price hasn't caught up yet to his new role as the starting point guard. Beyond that, he's playing the worst defensive team in the league against, well, everybody. The Lakers are a defensive joke and getting a punt(ish) PG against them is something you can't pass up. He'll be in every one of my lineups. Cory Joseph - FD 4600 DK 4600 DFSTR 3000 I'm putting him here under the assumption that Parker sits again. If that's the case then it's Watson and Joseph for me across the board in two PG lineups. Heads up I'll take Watson. Monitor this situation closely. Kemba Walker - FD 7300 DK 8000 DFSTR 7200 I'll be honest, I'm hoping Parker doesn't play because the point guard situation gets a lot less clear without the two guys above. But when it comes down to it, Kemba is a solid option facing up against Kyrie. Dude feels anything but safe. But the price reflects his ebbs and flows. This is a spot you can buy low(ish) on the guy. Consider Kyrie Irving   Shooting Guard Rodney Stuckey - FD 5600 DK 5500 DFSTR 4800 Played him the other night at a significant discount as a contrarian play against the Trailblazers and he hit value and then some. Even though he's switched over off the point back to the two, the minutes are still more than there. And getting a guy playing more than 30 minutes with a decent usage at this price is worth it. Against the Lakers? Forget about it. The second easiest start of the day behind Watson. Jimmy Butler - FD 8000 DK 6600 DFSTR 6700 At this point, you need to pay for the guy. I don't like that of course because I long for the days of getting...

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 4700 DFSTR 3000 Should be a big punt play at close to the minimums. Joseph is filling in as Parker sits again tonight. In Joseph's last two games with Parker out he's averaging 16/6/6 which basically crushes these prices. I'm playing him in very format without hesitation and is probably the top value play on the board. Kyle Lowry - FD 9300 DK 10200 DFSTR 7500 As we saw last night, teams can exploit Cleveland in some ways from the point guard position. Although the Cavs have gotten a little better on that end this season, but Kyrie really can't hang with many of the elite point guards. Lowry is just that kind of guy. Was a bit of an off game for the guy last night mostly because Lou Williams caught fire and the game just kind of went that way. I'm still very high on Lowry and hope that last night's problems keep his ownership lower tonight. Brandon Jennings - FD 6500 DK 7000 DFSTR 6200 Hear me out here. In his last four games Jennings has shot an unbelievably bad 19% from the field. Now I understand there are some extenuating circumstances with his thumb that might be effecting his shot. But if you want to take a gamble that he could just be running bad from the field, then you could be buying low on the guy. Russell Westbrook - FD 9800 DK 10400 DFSTR 8200 With news that Durant’s minutes will continued to be restricted, I think this keeps the door open as Westbrook for a potential value play. When Durant is off the court Russell has an insane 38.2 usage rate this season (limited sample). And it isn’t like Westbrook just takes off the time when Durant is around. I think we are still buying Westbrook on a discount. The Bucks are one of the better teams in the league at defending the point guard position, but I think Westbrook still outstrips that consideration.   Shooting Guard Kobe Bryant - FD 8700 DK 9500 DFSTR 7700 He's struggled from the floor in his...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Deron Williams - FD 7800 DK 8200 DFSTR 6900 The guy is often overlooked because he plays on a boring team and there are typically other point guard values on any given night that we can overlook D-Will rather easily. But he's been paying this price more often than not and tonight gets matchup up against Kyrie and Cavs who are about average in defending the opposing point guard. I like D-Will's upside even at this price and don't think he'll be a high percentage start. This is a nice matchup for a guy who does enough across the box score to keep the floor high. Kyle Lowry - FD 9100 DK 10100 DFSTR 7500 Greivis Vasquez - FD 4800 DK 5100 DFSTR 4400 Both of these guys have seen huge usage rate bumps since Demar Derozan's gone down. Lowry especially has taken full reins over the offense and before the Cleveland game has put up over 50 fantasy points in the previous three games. He's been a beast. Meanwhile Greivis still hasn't seen his price full catch up now that he's around and over thirty minutes per game out of the starting lineup. Honestly, playing these guys together in the point guard positions is a fine strategy considering just how much they'll be handling the ball. Consider Mo Williams or Zach Lavine   Shooting Guard Not a ton to love about this position tonight. Rodney Stuckey - FD 5000 DK 4600 DFSTR 4600 Getting just enough minutes to keep himself relevant. Stuckey, when he has the run, should be able to easily beat these prices. He can score quickly and does just enough around the margins to make the idea of getting him into a cash game (even playing less that thirty minutes a game) stomach-able. Again, the minutes for me are right at the breaking point. He has to play at least 26-28 minutes to make him safe. But it seems as if his role in that respect is secure. Avery Bradley - FD 5100 DK 4500 DFSTR 4800 Doesn't offer a whole ton of upside. But what I'm looking for on this...
