Sunday Morning Update
Sunday Morning Update: 9:18 AM EST
There are several key situations that could take us right up to 90 minutes before game time. As of now, there is no change to the Primary Cash Lineup, but a couple of situations to keep an eye on.
Tony Pollard, David Njoku, and Ladd McConkey all appear to be true game-time decisions according to Adam Schefter. While McConkey is a 4PM start time, the other two are 1PM start times, meaning that we will get actives/inactives around 11:30 AM EST.
Njoku doesn't change much other than helping Elijah Moore and Jordan Akins becomes somewhat intriguing albeit still less than Hunter Henry.
However, it is Pollard that would change everything, as Tyjae Spears would become a must-start for Tennessee at just $5,400.
Also worth noting that the Buccaneers did not elevate a running back which should be a good sign that Bucky Irving will be active this week. While his role will be unknown this crushes the outlook of Rachaad White, and if you have a lineup with White in it, you could pivot to Rico Dowdle at a similar cost.
Check back around 11:30 AM EST or as soon as any Tony Pollard news might break.

Tony Pollard is active, David Njoku is inactive. No change to the Primary Cash Lineup. Good luck everyone.
Week 14 Recap
Week 14 was absolutely crazy town in terms of scoring. While the Primary Cash Lineup put up 135.68, which is normally easy cash, it was nowhere close enough to win this past week, which takes the Primary Cash Lineup to 8-6 on the season. Last week, basically, you had to have two players to guarantee cashing, as the cash line was 183.5 in a lot of 50/50’s. The primary build for most people was to take two of the cheap backup running backs and then load up with Josh Allen, who was 50-60% rostered. Allen had a career game scoring 54.88 FanDuel points, while Zach Charbonnet had 37.8. I’m not going to use this as a venting board other than to say that Charbonnet had three carries longer than 15 yards last week, which, in his first 183 carries of his career, he only had two total runs longer than 15 yards.
While the results weren’t positive due to this build, this is not a week where I’m upset about the lineup. Going into the week, I knew that playing two of those low-end running backs was a high-risk, high-reward play, and both Charbonnet and Allen had career games. If you had known that Charbonnet would have had 193 total yards or that Josh Allen would combine for six total touchdowns, you could have made a lot more money than just the 50/50 prize of getting a 90% return.
Injuries Create Opportunity:
- Ken Walker III is doubtful this week with a calf injury. Zach Charbonnet is going to get the start. Charbonnet should be popular this week in a better matchup against Green Bay than he was last week against San Francisco. While the price has increased up to $6,700, it is still very affordable, even if it feels a bit like point chasing from last week.
