Week 7 DraftKings Cash & Tournament Plays

David Johnson is a game-time decision this weekend. If he does play,
he's a great tournament play, but if he's held out, lock in
Chase Edmunds into all your lineups.


Your lineups can't be fully built yet. There's no way. Right?

I mean, mine aren't even CLOSE to being built. There are still far too many tidbits of information up in the air and have yet to drop. 

We got a bit of clarity on a few situations on Friday:
  • Alvin Kamara is OUT with his ankle injury
  • Todd Gurley and Saquon Barkley were taken OFF the final injury reports
  • Davante Adams is OUT and Geronimo Allison is DOUBTFUL 
What we're waiting to learn more about:
  • David Johnson and Christian Kirk are GAME-TIME DECISIONS 
  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling is QUESTIONABLE 
  • Marquise Brown is QUESTIONABLE, but it doesn't sound all that good 
  • Dede Westbrook looks like he'll carry a QUESTIONABLE tag into Sunday's game
Maybe it's just a me thing, but the news that still surrounds both Cardinals players, as well as the Brown injury news impacts a good portion of my lineups. I found myself to be heavily invested in both the Cardinals-Giants and Ravens-Seahawks games -- and for good reason ... the game totals are 50.5 and 49, respectively. 

Now, with that injury news still hanging in the balance, it does create some scenarios where, if Kirk, Johnson and Brown all play, where we might get significantly lower ownership on them based on the red Q tags next to their name. Pair that with the people who build their lineups on Tuesday and Wednesday and never check back ... and it could be a spot where they offer you immense upside. 

As always, keep yourself plugged in to all the news. And, hey, if you're so inclined, tune into the For Fantasy Sake live show at 10 a.m. on QCSportsNet.com. Or find us on Facebook Live.

Week 3 Waiver Wire: How to replace Brees & Big Ben

Many fantasy owners are feeling the blow of losing Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees,but don't just assume you need to rush to pick up their replacements. There are PLENTY of better options.  There were some serious blows dealt during Sunday's action. It wasn't enough that the quarterback I was on since I saw the matchup with Seattle ( Ben Roethlisberger ) blew out his elbow and is requiring season-ending surgery, but fantasy stalwart Drew Brees had to go and tear  ligaments in his hand the required surgery and HE'S out for about six weeks. Like a bad infomercial ... Steelers running back James Conner left Sunday's game as well, however, test results revealed "nothing serious," according to Jeremy Fowler. Devin Singletary tweaked his hamstring and was forced from the game against the Giants -- he had six carries for 57 yards and TD before exiting. Michael Gallup injured his knee during Sunday's route of Washington and will miss 2-4...

Your Guide to DFS Week 1

Chris Carson has the perfect storm to make him one of the best  plays on the entire DFS slate in Week 1.  The news broke a few months ago that sports betting and -- more importantly -- daily fantasy was going to be legalized in the lovely state of Iowa. Allegedly, they were both to be ready to roll by the start of the NFL season. Fast forward to, well, right now, and we're sitting with only ONE of those being legalized. Not sure if you noticed, but the NFL season started Thursday. Way to go, Iowa. Or DraftKings. Or government.  I don't know who the hell to blame, so I'll blame them all.  TRIGGERED!  Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.  Okay. We're good now. ... Still triggered. But good enough to move on.  You came here for the DFS plays -- though I'm not sure what the actual F you're doing listening to me -- so let's outline how this ditty is going down each week.  How it's going to wo...

Madrigal Might Be More Than A "One-Hit Wonder"

Nick Madrigal could just hit his way into a prospect laden White Sox lineup (NBC Chicago) Like Morpheus searching the Matrix, I think I've finally found the one. A slappy little fast guy without any real power who is worth rostering. Nick Madrigal 2B Chicago White Sox Highest level: AAA Age: 22 ETA: Early 2020 Now most players who lack the ability to hit more than 10 home runs in a season should be left on the waiver wire, or at least be a catcher. Madrigal has found a way to transcend his inability as a hitter by maximizing what he's good at, he doesn't strikeout. Across three leagues last year, Madrigal set a minor league-low 3.3 percent strikeout rate. Additionally, he's not just a tough out -- he produced a slash line of  .331/.398/.424. After being drafted by the White Sox in 2018, Madrigal seemed advertised as a guy who was going to be an asset at the top of the lineup as a single and maybe score kind of asset. However, he took an even greater ...
