Per usual, I did two lineups, one of which is much more diversified and safer than the other. I’m a gambling man, which is why I take a stab on one lineup like that every week. The first lineup is my risky lineup, as I went heavy on the run game with Gordon and Barkley, and am essentially rolling the dice on Humphries and John Ross racking up some points, the latter due to AJ green’s absence. The second squad is much more spread out, with pretty much a guaranteed 20+ point performance from Mahomes, as well as many other consistent middle of the pack players. I went with the Pats D for both lineups, which might come as a red flag to a lot of people. The reason for that is not only am I a big fan of this team and think that they’ve really turned their defensive problems around, as well as the possibility of Cordarrelle patterson taking it to the house on any kick, but I’m also going to the game in Nashville Sunday. So despite having Dion Lewis in my second lineup, I would love to see a shutout in person. Well there’s my Draft Kings guide for this week. I’m gonna work on my betting guide for the week right after this, and I’m shooting to have that up in about an hour. As always, good luck, and lets win some fucking money fellas.
