DraftKings NFL GPP pivots: Week 3 – truth hurts

DraftKings NFL GPP pivots: Sample lineup
This is where I try to give you my roster construction strategy each week and I toss out a sample lineup. Please remember, the sample lineup is not intended to be a “plug and play” lineup. But rather it is used to illustrate the players, games, and types of correlation plays that I will be targeting this week.
With the chalky build looking like expensive running backs and cheaper wide receivers, you can always “flip” your roster construction and do the opposite in order to go against much of the field.
I always want a correlation in my lineups. Every GPP lineup that I build is going to have 2-3 pieces of a game and most lineups are going to have several different correlations within them.
This particular lineup is a Stafford-Golladay stack with Agholor coming back on the Philly side. I also have some correlation with Dalvin Cook and the Minnesota defense. Notice that I have some chalkier plays like Cook, Agholor, Andrews, and Ekekler mixed with my pivots and this serves as my weekly reminder that you don’t need to be contrarian at every roster spot.
My top three games stacks this week will be Detroit-Philly, Kansas City-Baltimore, and a Dallas onslaught (stacking 3-4 Dallas pieces without running back any Miami players).
QB: Matthew Stafford
RB: Dalvin Cook
RB: Aaron Jones
WR: Nelson Agholor
WR: Calvin Ridley
WR: Kenny Golladay
TE: Mark Andrews
Flex: Austin Ekeler
Defense: Vikings D/ST
