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 the DFS Dart Board 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. You may also see in the GPP lineups, there may be 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 in places such as the position coaches, so it's not like we're trying to hide anything from you. The only time, and I mean the only time you will see a player in a GPP lineup who hasn't been discussed is if we are using a stack and need a player from the other team coming back. But that is a rararity.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you. A sounding board if you will. They are not meant 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!

Sunday Morning Notes:

Everyone is jumpiong all over Boston Scott this week with news that Miles Sanders is out. If you noticed, I never had Sanders in the Watch List and never added Scott to the Playbook. To me, there's good chalk and there's bad chalk. If Scott were maybe at minimum price on either FanDuel or Draft Kings, I could have some interest, but with the way Doug Pederson likes to rotate in his backs, the presence of Corey Clement and the belief that the Washington defensive line has improved in the offseason, I am not sold on Scott being someone I want to use in my lineups nor do not believe he is posting numbers that cannot be achieved elsewhere at a similar or even better price. 

I have added Dalvin Cook to the Playbook. The new contract should keep him happy and the volume he is likely to see against the Packers is worthy of the price tag. He is also a factor in the passing game. I may think the Packers win this game, or at least cover the spread, but knowing what Gary Kubiak likes to do, I see a heavy load of carries for Cook against a team that struggled against the run last season and lost some key components up the middle on defense.

Reports say that Mike Evans is "likely" to play, but against the Saints corners? I'm out.

Reports also say Chargers WR Mike Williams is going to play as well. I'm out on him too.
