This week, we see a ton of early value on the board, which means there will be high concentrations of players on every lineup. Although it will be tough to get away from some of the chalk value, there are several different ways to differentiate your lineups, most notably by double-stacking games such as UNC vs Miami in the hopes we get a Texas vs Oklahoma type shootout.
We will also have to check depth charts later in the week as injuries to studs have drastically shook up some of the known areas of production we had to start the year.

Sam Howell comes in this week at the top priced player, but the slate does lack the true upside of a Matt Corrall, Malik Cunningham or Brennan Armstrong. However, there are several interesting plays with a ton of upside to break the slate.

Sign Up Now!Adrian Martinez is finally the player we have been hoping for in Scott Frost’s offense, and has no moved into a near lock for 25 points per game. Next on the list, Tyler VanDyke is not a household name, but he is taking over for the injured D’Eriq King in Miami, and produced well in his one and a half games thus far. His price has not matched his production yet, and this game with Howell and company could make for a great double stack.
In the middle of the pack, we have options like Emory Jones, Casey Thompson, KJ Jefferson and Desmond Ridder who have shown the ability to get it done on both the ground and through the air. Thompson makes for a good contrarian play as Bijan Robinson will likely get rostered at a high rate and push people off Thompson.

This is the week to load up at running back as there a ton of viable options. After injuries to Mohamed Ibrahim and Trey Potts, the last man standing in Minnesota is Mar’Keise Irving. He should be a virtual lock for all of your lineups and he is dirt cheap and should be in line for a massive work load against a less than stellar Nebraska lineup. It will be contrarian to not play him, but at this price it will be hard to avoid him.
After Irving, studs like Bijan Robinson and Kenneth Walker should have huge days and are locked into big workloads. From there, there are a few intriguing options, starting with Isaiah Spiller and Devon Achane. Both vulture each other to some extent with Texas A&M, but they are facing a Mizzou team that allowed huge games to Tennessee and Boston College. It would not be crazy to pair both in a GPP lineup and hope this game goes over the total.
Not that you will need cheap options, but if you want to go double cheap at RB this week, Johnny Richardson and Israel Abanikanda have both seen their work increase over the past few weeks.

Generally we like to stack our wide receivers with quarterbacks, but that could prove a bit tough this week with quarterbacks like Martinez, Thompson and Emory all capable to hit value on the ground. That is why Josh Downs and Treylon Burks sit atop the cash rankings, both are in air raid offenses that should give them a solid base of targets.
After a massive game last week, Jalen Nailor is going to be incredibly popular this week, which makes Jayden Reed a great GPP pivot. Both see about equal target share and prior to last week it was Reed who led the team in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
Another big spot to watch is LSU who will be replacing perhaps the best WR in the county in Kayshon Boutte. Jack Bech seems to be the safest options, but there are several options under $4k who could potentially break the slate at a low cost including Brian Thomas Jr and Malik Nabers.
