A peek ahead at week 7 Looking for the week 7 picks? Follow the link! I go position by position and give you whom I believe to be the best plays, dollar for dollar, for Week 7's games. This article is going to be a little bit different. Instead, I'm going to focus on particular lineup formation strategies that might help you get some separation from the field and get those value plays and sleepers that will let you spend money elsewhere while cashing in for cheap.   Sleepers Weekly disclaimer: The whole concept of a sleeper in one week fantasy football games needs to be adjusted. First of all, there's no real such thing as a "sleeper," in that you're not really going to sleep on a guy until he wakes up. What you're looking at with cheap plays are guys who are priced very reasonably who could go off if all things break right. Sniffing out the best cheap plays with upside is really the only way to have a chance in hell at taking down some of these utterly massive NFL tournaments. You'll pay up for the big names, and then hope your bargain plays pay off. That's where we come in - here are some sleepers that we love for Week 6. I'm not one for false modesty, so let me spell it out for you: our week 6 sleepers article was money in the bank. The only real misses were Andrew Hawkins and Andre Williams, and frankly, I'm not going to beat myself up over those calls. For this week, a lot of our favorite guys from last week haven't graduated to appropriate pricing - Andre Holmes in particular. We'll give you some new guys and rehash the case for some old sleepers that haven't, well, woken up just yet. The post-hype sleeper RBs Andre Williams - FD...

This piece will examine some Draftster-specific value as this site tends to quickly adjust prices quickly and severely. This is great news for you as identifying players who are priced as punts is a money-making venture for you. Here we go. Quarterbacks Joe Flacco- $6600 Flacco came out last week and treated the Bucs much like a college quarterback running the game up early to shoot up those AP rankings. Except this is the NFL and Flacco just poured it on because he could. I'm not letting that one performance completely inform my thinking here. In fact, I'll take my large brain completely out of it. Our system has Flacco as the number one points per dollar play on Draftster this week for reasons all its own. He faces an Atlanta team allowing a whopping 280 passing yards per game. Flacco isn't a favorite to repeat last week's performance (ever) but he should be able to air it out against a Falcon team susceptible to the pass. The Ravens are a favorite which has me just a little concerned they turn to the run early if they're leading, but if Flacco can maintain a higher completion percentage as he did last week he makes a solid start in this format. Colin Kaepernick- $6700 Our system is all over Kaep in nearly eery format. Part of this stems from his high floor because he adds a not-insignificant amount of points with his legs. He's averaging about 40 yards per game on the ground which is equivalent to an additional passing touchdown per game. He's not the kind of thrower that will top 300 yards on the regular like he did...

Now go get that deposit bonus and enter to win a Tesla!   QB Touchdowns Andrew Luck No doubt that he's turing in a season to remember, and it's only six weeks in. Luck continues to dominate on the offensive side of the ball and faces a Cincy squad ranked 22nd in the league against the pass, allowing more than 250 yards/ game through the air. Luck is working with a number of different weapons, and he has by far the most attempts for a quarterback in the red zone this season with 48. (The next highest is Cutler with 37.) Getting that kind of opportunity in close is exactly what we are looking for in ScoreStreak where opportunity trumps almost every other piece of the decision making pie considering we aren't working at all with salaries. Very much a chalk play, but with good reason. Aaron Rodgers It's close for me between he and Peyton, and honestly I'm not really going out on a limb with either one. But if most things are about equal then I'll take the Rodgers for a couple of reasons. He has the far better matchup against the Panthers who rank 26th in the league in passing defense. Rodgers might not see the overall volume of Manning, but I trust him to throw a little more in the red zone because the Packers just have no real threat in the ground game whereas Ronnie Hillman could prove to be somewhat of an answer for the Broncos. That could look bad for me later, but I just suspect Rodgers' will see an uptick in his 57% completion percentage in the red zone and collect an extra TD this week.   All purpose yards Demarco Murray Hitting close to 160 all purpose yards is no easy feat for someone not involved in the special teams return game (though...

Want picks for FanDuel, Draftster, and Draftday as well? Check em out. When everybody begins to “think out of the box”, the inside of the box becomes “out of the box”…let that one soak in. Hopefully I just mind-shagged a few of you with my wordplay, but believe me, I am going somewhere with this. Also, what I am about to say is going against my "fade" approach I've been preaching all year. Words of wisdom, if you aren’t adjusting your strategy, adding something new to your data, or trying to figure out how to get ahead of the competition every single week, then you’ll never see any progress. Just like you, I am trying to figure out the optimal strategy in order to produce the highest weekly scores possible. It is becoming more common for daily fantasy pundits to discuss “utilization” (the percentage at which a player is chosen in any given league). This may be obvious to some, but I’m going to establish it anyway. A player (let’s call him Player 1) with a smaller utilization rate is a better pick than one with a larger utilization rate (Player 2) given they are the same “expected” player. In other words, if Player 1 and Player 2 are the exact same play by the numbers (equivalent salary, equivalent injury probability, equivalent expected value and variance in points scored) then the tie-breaking question should be “which player will be picked LESS by my opponents?” The fantasy world refers to this strategy as “fading”. When we are not sure who will do better, it is custom to project a player’s utilization rate and default to choosing the guy who will be less played while “fading” the suspected “popular” play. I’m not disagreeing with this paradigm, I am just saying we should never get to the point of asking the question, “to fade or not to fade?” There are far better questions to ask yourself first in order to determine the better play. Here...
