For all the weeks I’ve been doing this so far, I think these 2 lineups might be the most balanced ones I’ve made. I typically pick one lineup to go extremely run or pass heavy, but this week I didn’t like the prices and matchups for a lot of the top tier players. I also decided to roll the dice on Steelers backup RB Jaylen Samuels this week upon hearing the news that James Conner is out this week. This is one of those moves where if it works out I’ll feel like a genius, and if he flops I’ll feel like a fucking idiot. But he’s cheap as fuck and has a high ceiling given Oakland’s weak run defense, so lets get this bread. The Saints/Bucs game obviously has the highest chance of turning into a shootout, so anybody in that game is a safe play, As for everybody else, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
