Week 6 NFL Fanduel Optimized Lineup (Beginner)

Bryant Good for at Least One.
Last week my Beginner Lineup Scored less than my Standard Optimized Lineup. Go figure. It goes to prove that on Any Given Sunday a WR3 can beat a WR1. But that doesn't mean you should buy low. Stud receivers are studs because of their consistency.  With that strategy in mind here are my Week 6 NFL Picks for Beginner Fanduel Leagues.

Fanduel Beginner $65,000 Optimized Lineup

QB: Peyton Manning $10,800 JAC@DEN
RB: DeMarco Murray $7,800 WAS@DAL
RB: Knowshon Moreno $7,000 JAC@DEN
WR: Terrance Williams $5,600 WAS@DAL
WR: Dez Bryant $9,200 WAS@DAL
WR: Pierre Garcon $7,000 WAS@DAL
TE: Julius Thomas $6,900 JAC@DEN
K: Dan Bailey $5,100 WAS@DAL
D: Kansas City Chiefs $5,600 OAK@KC

QB Analysis
In a normal week Peyton Manning has become a no-brainer. Against the (Insert Favorite Insult Here) Jacksonville Jaguars he's doubly so. My only concern is that they get up by so much that Peyton sits significant time in the second half. Course if that happens, Peyton will likely have already had a great game.

RB Anaylsis
Moreno has finally taken the load in Denver (for now) and he's going against the soon to be demoted to the Canadian Football League (ala the English Premier League) Jaguars. I suspect that the Broncos will be up huge and that the second half will feature a lot of garbage time points for Moreno.

DeMarco Murray isn't a sexy pick, and a alot of people will sour on him after last weeks poor stat line. But I think that was due to the fact that both teams tossed the ball all over creation. This week the attack will be more balanced. Only the Jags (see Moreno above) allow more rushing yards than the Redskins.

WR Analysis
In my Standard Week 6 lineup I was forced to pick lower priced WRs. With the extra $5,000 I had to spend in the Beginner leagues I chose to upgrade this position.

Terrance Williams almost made my roster last week. I went with Broyles and paid for it. I won't make the same mistake again. Dallas will have to throw against the Colts and with Miles Austin still out and Dez Bryant seeing a lot of attention, expect Williams to see the end zone again.

I'm going to double dip into the Dallas WR pool. Dez Bryant sits atop my wide receiver chart this week with Calvin Johnson a question mark. Against the horrid Washington pass defense, Bryant will put up huge numbers.

I love Pierre Garcon this week at Dallas. RGIII will have to throw a lot to keep up with Romo and his boys. Garcon will get a lot of of these looks and his talent is to great to shut down.

TE Analysis
This is the first week that I am NOT going with Jimmy Graham. Partly because I paid a lot at other positions and partly because of the match up. The Patriots are masters of taking away an opponents best player. On the Saints that player is Jimmy Graham. He may still be a stud, but I don't see him blowing up, especially since I suspect the Saints will run t the ball against a suddenly vulnerable New England run defense.

Julius Thomas has been a monster for Peyton and while you can never predict who will catch TDs in this offense, the Broncos love to use him in the red zone. Expect the big numbers to continue.

K Analysis
Dan Bailey will get a chance to kick a lot. He is accurate and will give you a nice stat line this week.

D Analysis
The Chiefs D is for real and they go against the Oakland Raiders who, despite Pryor's fascinating play this year, are not all that good. The Chiefs will sack Pryor and pick him off frequently.
