Welcome to the DFS Example Lineups for Week 1 of the NFL season.
Just a few notes here about the lineups below...
The cash lineups were built solely off the players I put in the Playbook. These are the guys who, unless I have indicated otherwise, offer up the higher floor and will help you cash in your Double-Ups and 50/50s. For GPP tournaments, particularly the large-field ones, you need to find alternative routes to the cash line. I will utilize players from the Playbook and, eventually, the DFS Dart Board (not done until the pricing levels off and there are more distinct tiers/bargains), to fill in the gaps, but what I am looking for are some lower-owned stacks that make sense based on expected game flow and other news. As you will see in this week's GPP lineups, there are some names I haven't discussed this week on the site, but have talked about during the week on the Fantasy Alarm Show on SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio. You will also notice, though, that others on the site have mentioned some of these players, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you.
Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meants for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.
Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!
