Analysis: This sample lineup goes for a balanced approach, taking advantage of the soft week 1 pricing. All three running backs used are in plus matchups that could go their way, and the entire lineup makes conscious decisions to make leverage plays on chalk, such as Evans over Godwin, and Johnson over somebody like Dalvin Cook. This is a good building block in my opinion.
