Some very cool matchups have been created due to injuries and inactives that you should take advantage of this week. Salary savings are key with extremely pricey options elsewhere. However keep in mind, these highly talked about inexpensive backups that are going to start are likely going to be very popular for that exact reason – salary savings – so it is the other pieces of your lineup that you need to differentiate yourself from the pack. Hopefully I can help you find those pieces.
Let’s get a couple of these out of the way here for you:
– Brian Hill will start today for the Atlanta Falcons against the 29th ranked run defense of the Carolina Panthers and he is only $4,800
– Miles Sanders will start today against the New England Patriots who were slightly exposed against the run last time out against Baltimore and he is only $4,100
– Kalen Ballage will start today for the Miami Dolphins, on a 2 game winning streak, against the 23rd ranked Buffalo Defense and he is only $4,300
– Tevin Coleman will see an increased workload today with Matt Brieda out, against Arizona and he is only $6,100
Any of these guys can help your lineup with both volume and cost but keep in mind, they will be popular. So using them and surrounding them with unique players is the key. Here’s who I like today based on Price, Value and Sleeper appeal, DK pricing included:
