First and foremost, thank the good lord football season is back! If it weren’t for Robby Anderson wearing a cloak of invisibility, and Nick Foles and Mike Williams getting hurt last week, both lineups would have been in the money. However, we can’t live in a world of “Would have” so updated below is the player's actual score in bold from week 1 as well as the 2 new lineups heading into week 2! The 2 new lineups are for the entire week of football, Thursday-Monday. I always do the “Hunch” lineup based on my gut and before I pull up the projections. Also, having to maneuver with the DraftKings salary cap always makes it fun, but I came up with the best-projected lineup possible within the cap. For example, Mahomes is projected to outscore Mariota but is more expensive as well. Kelce is projected by a greater amount to be the best TE so I splurged on TE and saved $$ on QB seeing as the gap is closer. Here’s hoping for an injury-free week, and as always let me know what you think!!
