Setting My Fanpicks.com Lineup
When I was putting my lineup together, I kept a few things in mind. First of all, the Colts are extremely banged up on both sides of the ball and are playing on a short week. On offense they will be missing T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) and Jack Doyle (hip). That leaves Ryan Grant, Chester Rogers and Zach Pascal as the wide receivers.
I expect Nyheim Hines and Eric Ebron to be the focal points of the offense, along with some combination of these WRs that will be tough to predict. Factor in the salary constraints, and you'll see in my lineup below that I chose both starters and bench players accordingly. I fully plan on swapping in Ebron at some point, especially if he's being targeted heavily.
On defense, the Colts middle linebacker Darius Leonard is banged up. Patriots running backs Sony Michel and James White should continue to see plenty of volume, especially given last week's success of feeding them continuously. Put this all together, and these are the players that I primarily targeted in my lineup. I expect the Patriots to control this game, so I'm going with Tom Brady, James White and Sony Michel as my starters.
Tom Brady is getting Julian Edelman back this week, while Rob Gronkowski is banged up. If it weren't for salary cap challenges, I would have inserted Edelman into the lineup. Gronk is someone that I was avoiding due to his expensive price, and the injury risk. The Patriots WR situation has suddenly become very crowded with Edelman, Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson. Someone will probably have a productive game, but it was too much of a headache for me to target in my starting lineup. I chose Patterson as a bench player, mostly because he was cheap, but don't expect to swap him in unless there are injuries on the Patriots and he gets thrusted into a target-heavy role.

As you can see from the screenshot below, I've selected my starting lineup. I've also selected three players that I can swap into my lineup - one swap allowed per quarter.
