Are you playing weekly fantasy football yet? Avoid the injuries and restart your season by giving Draft Kings weekly fantasy football a try. Draft Kings is offering to double your first deposit and give you the Fantasy Alarm Assistant G.M. for FREE when you sign up. Just think, this week you could turn $1 into $1000 or $27 into $1 MILLION just by using your fantasy football knowledge over at Draft Kings!!
Last week our optimal lineups scored 224.38 on Draft Kings and 187.20 on Fanduel which was good enough to win us and hopefully all of you a lot of money in week eight. Granted, last week was an exceptionally high scoring week in fantasy football overall and in no way do I expect this week to duplicate it.
Unlike most weeks you will notice a lot of the same players in my optimal lineups for both cash games, GPP's, Draft Kings and Fanduel. The six teams on bye week this week really cuts out a lot of the excessive waste when preparing your best lineups. All we had to do this week was find a way to get the most high end players into our lineups as possible. This was done easily with the help of low priced players such as Alex Smith, Jeremy Hill and Michael Floyd.
Here are my optimal DFS NFL Lineups for Week 9:
