Fantasy football picks: Week 4 MNF Steelers vs. Bengals

In this section, I will provide a section ranking my top five GPP plays on the day. This is in descending order, starting at fifth, going down to my favorite play. I will also list my “dart throw of the day” which is my favorite high upside value play.

I think this game will be one of the more boring single games that we will have. When two teams with good defenses and a run-first mentality play each other, the game just drags on, and runs at a very slow pace. I recommend playing light, running a couple of different GPP’s, get creative and just have some fun with your builds. Save your money for the main event on Sunday, but take some risks and try to take one of these single games down.

Nick Vannett – 5

Joe Mixon – 4

Tyler Boyd – 3

Andy Dalton – 2

James Conner – 1

Dart throw of the day – Vannett

The last piece of advice I have for this single game slate is to not get wrapped up in spending all of your available salary. If you have $1,000 leftover, but you really like your lineup, do not try to find a spot to spend the rest of your salary.

Leave the build alone, this isn’t a normal slate where we need to maximize every dollar we have to get the best build possible. Try to stand out, and go with your gut. Time and time again on these single-game slates, you will see people play the chalkiest lineup possible, and fill out all of the salary, thinking they have the best lineup of all time, just to be disappointed two hours later.
