Draft Kings - Help me win $20

[jwlincy]

I signed up for a DraftKings $2 contest that pays $20 for the top 5 teams (out of 57 entries). The contest was only for the Primetime games (Sunday & Monday Nights). Scoring is PPR with 3pt bonus for 100 yard rushing & 100 yard receiving performances.

Right now I'm in 2nd place with 4 players remaining (RB, WR, Flex & DEF) and $20,300 of salary left.

I have the following options:

RB
Lacy: $7800
S. Jackson: $3900
Kuhn: $3000
Starks: $3000
Freeman: $3000
J. Rodgers: $3000

WR
Jones: $8300
Nelson: $8100
Cobb: $7400
White: $6200
Douglas: $4500
Adams: $4200
Hester: $3000

Flex
Any remaining RBs or WRs
Toilolo: $3200
Quarless: $3000
R. Rodgers: $3000

DEF
GB: $3500
ATL: $1800

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

I posted a poll because it took up less space & it's easier to just vote for the lineup that you like best. Thanks.

I took option 1 but I'd go with Jax over Doin the Dougie

In a cash game you want the safest combo.

Roddy questionable and even if he plays he can't be relied upon for the full 60.

4 and 6 are the two options for me. I'd use 4 if you're behind and need to make up some ground and 6 if you're looking to maintain a cash spot

If R. White sits, I think that I like Douglas more than S. Jackson.

I'm leaning towards #1 & #6. It's just a matter of who I like more: Lacy or Nelson

I also like #4 and the thought of having Nelson & Cobb both going, but I'm not sure that I like having ATL DEF and a prayer RB play (Starks or Freeman).

So I'll have to decide between 1, 4 & 6.

Yeah I think the Atl def is a big mistake. I also am going under the assumption white is playing.

I went with Lacy (27.6), Adams (1.6), S. Jackson (15.6) & GB DEF (1.0). At halftime I was in 1st place with Lacy's 2 TDs. Went to bed feeling ok about my chances to stay in the top 5. Woke up and saw that I finished 17th.

I believe the correct line-up was Starks (18.1), Jul. Jones (45.9), S. Jackson (15.6) & ATL DEF (-1), which I didn't have listed in my poll. With those choices, I would have finished in 1st place.
