Lineups

DraftKings

QB: Carson Wentz $5,300
RB: Bilal Powell $4,900
RB: Isaiah Crowell $5,300
WR: Larry Fitzgerald $5,900
WR: Doug Baldwin $6,700
WR: Amari Cooper $7,200
TE: Zach Ertz $3,500
Flex: A.J. Green $8,000
D/ST: LA Rams $3,200

Remaining Salary: $0

This lineup features a loaded wide receiver corps, but is ultimately built around the Wentz-Ertz combo. Powell and Crowell should both see a good amount of touches and passes out of the backfield, therefore they should return some value at their relatively cheap prices.

FanDuel

QB: Russell Wilson $8,000
RB: Ezekiel Elliott $8,700
RB: Isaiah Crowell $6,500
WR: Doug Baldwin $7,500
WR: Kelvin Benjamin $6,500
WR: A.J. Green $8,400
TE: Charles Clay $4,600
K: Matt Bryant: $4,900
D/ST: LA Rams $4,600

Remaining Salary: $300

I am banking on the Wilson to Baldwin connection here. As I mentioned earlier, this should be a game where Seattle passes a lot to keep pace with Green Bay’s high-powered offense. Kelvin Benjamin is an underrated play this week versus a 49ers secondary that lacks any real proven cover guys. Lastly, might as well start Zeke while we can, right? He will be running angry in possibly his only game until his suspension begins in Week 2.
