Cracking FanDuel Week 8

Sunday Morning Update

Sunday Morning Update 10:30 AM EST

It does look like Tee Higgins is more on the doubtful side of playing than questionable. We should kn

No changes this week. I haven't been able to find a lineup that I prefer over the one currently in the lineup. I've run a number of situations looking at upgrading Javonte Williams to Joe Mixon and downgrading A.J. Brown to Jaylen Waddle which would work, but Williams should be a nice hedge against the Bo Nix plays who will be one of the most popular players at quarterback this week.

• QB Lamar Jackson, BAL, $8,800
• RB Breece Hall, NYJ, $7,900
• RB Derrick Henry, BAL, $9,200
• WR A.J. Brown, PHI, $9,000
• WR Tyreek Hill, MIA, $7,600
• WR Trey Palmer, TB, $4,000
• TE Dalton Kincaid, BUF, $4,000
• Flex RB Javonte Williams, DEN, $6,000
• TD Miami $3,400

SITUATIONS THAT STAND OUT TO THIS WEEK ON THE MAIN SLATE.

• Detroit (vs TEN) – 28.0 points
• Green Bay (at JAC) – 26.5 points
• Baltimore (at CLE) – 26.5 points
• Kansas City (at LV) – 25.75 points

• Denver (vs CAR) – 25.5 points

Week 7 Recap

Week 7 was a frustrating one and takes the Primary Cash Lineup to 5-2 on the season. Most weeks the Sunday Morning Update improves the lineup based on injuries or news that pops up overnight. However, last week, moves away from George Pickens, Sam Darnold, and Davante Adams to Jordan Whittington, Malik Nabers, and Kirk Cousins was just a bad move that ended up taking the lineup from cashing to failing to cash. Hindsight is 20/20, but looking back at this one it was a complete overreaction to Cooper Kupp being ruled out for the week, as Whittington ended the game with 0.0 points. In a vacuum, Darnold was the number one quarterback on the rankings last week and moving down to Cousins was an unnecessary move. Overall just a bad week in what should have been an easy cash due to Jayden Daniels getting injured early in the Carolina game last week.

Also, Ken Walker III didn’t help matters. This was a player who was a late addition to the injury report because of an illness on Saturday. I have a general rule of not taking players who are late adds to the injury report as it is incredibly unpredictable just how they will perform as we saw with Deebo Samuel Sr. who barely played due to an illness. Walker was one of the most popular plays of the week which severely hurt the chances of cashing this past week.

Total points scored- 87.48

• Primary Cash lineup:
• QB Kirk Cousins, ATL, $7,200-9.18
• RB Kyren Williams, LAR, $8,600-19.6
• RB Tony Pollard, TEN, $7,100-7.5
• WR Drake London, ATL, $7,500-15.3
• WR Jordan Whittington, LAR, $5,300-0.0
• WR Malik Nabers, NYG, $8,300-6.1
• TE David Njoku, CLE, $5,300-18.6
• Flex RB Chuba Hubbard, CAR, $7,400-19.6
• TD Tennessee, $3,100- 0.0

Injuries Create Opportunity:

• Chris Godwin dislocated his ankle at the end of last week’s Monday Night Football game. Because this was a primetime game, Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan, and Sterling Shepard are all underpriced this week.
