Fantasy football picks: Week 4 MNF Steelers vs. Bengals

For the game theory portion of this article, it is pretty simple in cash games. Load up on those Bengals. The MVP spot should have either Boyd or Dalton in it for cash lineups. If playing GPP really like James Conner for the bonus position. I think people will look too much into the recent form and game logs on him. This will allow us to get decreased ownership on him as the MVP. You could even throw a guy like Ross in that spot, although he wasn’t mentioned in my article. He has great upside as well.

Game theory is something that I have had to really work on going into this season, and it really takes your game to the next level once you start to get the hang of it. With single-game slates, game theory is a little bit different due to the 1.5x MVP point slot. Usually, this spot is used for the most popular play on the slate, which is normally a quarterback. However, I will tell you a little secret, very rarely do chalk MVP quarterbacks win you a single game tourney.

With that being said, in cash games you have to be a little more conservative, which I why I always recommend playing multiple GPP lineups instead of one cash lineup in these. That allows you to play much less conservative, take more chances, and have a better chance at hitting for the big one that we are all chasing.
