QUARTERBACKS
Tom Brady – Try to get him in your lineups and differentiate elsewhere. Could even play him naked or just with one of the Patriots running backs.
Ben Roethlisberger – Don’t get too cute, go with him or Brady.
RUNNING BACKS
LeVeon Bell – Play him please! Especially with the other running backs on this slate.
Rex Burkhead or Dion Lewis – Tough to decide which one to play. Perfect day for a hedge lineup with one in one and one in the other.
Kenyan Drake – Will be forced to get the bulk of the work.
WIDE RECIEVERS
Brandin Cooks – Like pairing him with Brady with no Gronk this week if you can afford him.
Antonio Brown – If can squeeze him, Cooks and Bell in your lineup would be ideal. It can be done if you punt somewhere or go Big Ben over Brady.
Also like Jarvis Landry, Martavis Bryant, and Danny Amendola. Mike Wallace too especially if Jeremy Maclin doesn’t play.
TIGHT ENDS
Dwayne Allen – He's min price of Fanduel and only $2700 on DK filling in for the suspended Gronk.
Julius Thomas – I guess has highest upside at the position.
Ben Watson – No tight end is safe on this slate, but if I have to choose best floor.
DEFENSE
Pittsburgh Steelers – Going against one of the worst offenses in the league. Second meeting between the two should be relatively low scoring.
New England Patriots – Prefer both favorites this week and most weeks when choosing on a short slate.
KICKERS – Fanduel only
I find myself not being able to pay up for Stephen Gostkowski, but if you have the money he is my preferred choice barely over Justin Tucker. If can’t afford them, Chris Boswell over Cody Parkey.
