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.

Fantasy Outlook: Cam Newton

Cam Newton signed a one-year deal with the New England Patriots on Sunday evening What should you expect from 2015 MVP quarterback? Quarterback Cam Newton signed a one-year-deal with the New England Patriots worth up to $7.5 million, per league sources who told ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter . After suffering several injuries over the last couple seasons, including a Lisfranc injury that cost the quarterback 14 games last year, the Patriots have found their answer under center. It’s important to note that learning the Patriots playbook has been notoriously difficult and given the late timing of this signing I would follow reports out of New England very closely over the coming months to see if Newton is even ready for Week 1. Newton certainly provides an upgrade over 2019 fourth-round pick Jarrett Stidham or journeyman quarterback Bryan Hoyer and provides a small ray of hope to all those fantasy owners with New England pieces. The 2015 MVP finds himself right back i...

Week 7 Picks, Fades & Stacks

Leonard Fournette may have finally reached the $7,000 mark but he's still far too cheap .   My journey into the journalism world began with my love of sports. Writing sports was my passion. It was what I loved to do. My life, in fact. I wanted to be known for my writing. Published everywhere. The biggest papers in the country, the largest websites and featured on the million-viewer sports analysis shows. What I've learned about journalism and media, however, as I've gotten older, is that it's not about your byline or the amount of followers you have on social media, or even the amount of words you're allotted in a publication. Rather, it's about what you do WITH those words. Making those words have real impact. Using your byline in a way that can bring attention to causes and people who aren't million-dollar athletes or NFL superstars.  No. There are things that are bigger than football. And this is one of them. Dakovion Kennedy, a soph...

Week 4 DraftKings Picks, Fades & Stacks

After a pair of tough matchups, it's looking like DeAndre Hopkins might come in with lower ownership than we're used to seeing, which could be a prime spot to jump on him in tournaments.   The Plays Kerryon Johnson, RB, $5,400 (vs. Kansas City) Pick yourself up off the floor. I know recommending Johnson comes as a shock. For as much as I've been a nonbeliever, how can I suggest playing him? Well, DraftKings pricing makes this viable. Well, that and the juicy matchup with Kansas City. This game carries a 54.5 total, with the Lions implied for 24 points. So they're not huge underdogs and implied for some feeble total like the Dolphins and Jets. If the Lions have any chance of winning this game, it seems the best avenue to that would be keeping the ball on the ground, and that means a lot of Johnson. He received 20 carries against an impressive Philadelphia run defense. Granted, he didn't do much with the carries, but he GOT them. And that's what matters. ...
